The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back. I love that. I love that. Oh my gosh. Welcome. And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg. You're recording us? I am disgusted.

Never in a million years after everything we've been through did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy. We were friends. How could you do this to me? I don't trust her. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Wednesdays at 9 on Bravo, or stream it on City TV+. I'm NK, and this is Basket Case. What is wrong with me?

A show about the ways that mental illness is shaped by not just biology, Swaps of different meds. but by culture and society. By looking closely at the conditions that cause mental distress, I find out why so many of us are struggling to feel sane, what we can do about it, and why we should care. Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl. Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Stick to sports. Shut up and dribble. Despite what some people believe believe sports and politics have mixed from the beginning now you have a podcast that isn't afraid to explore the complicated relationship between sports and politics with a new podcast called spolitics with me jamelle hill i'll be discussing political social and economic issues through the lens of sports with some of the biggest names and smartest people so So here's the assignment. Listen to Spolitics on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Let's get Spolitical. I'm Joe Gatto. I'm Steve Byrne. Together we do the Two Cool Moms podcast, which is a podcast where we help dispense advice to our loyal listeners. Everybody has an issue. Everybody has something that they need help with. Right. And that's where we come in.

Because our moms were cool moms, we like to think that we have inherited their maternal advice, and we try to just do some good. Besides being comedians, we love to help. Guys, bring us your queries. They could be personal questions, they could be serious, they could be lighthearted, but know this, we are here for you. Yeah, you can find us wherever you listen

to your podcasts or on the iHeartRadio app. Look, Matt. Where? Oh, I see. Wow. Oh, and look over there. Wow. Is that culture?

Yes. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas. Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling. And I want to know your journey. Yeah.

So let's just fill everybody in. Yeah. There's been a gap in cultural knowledge that's been bridged i would say since the last episode it's only been a week it's only been a week but tell me has everything not changed or has everything changed everything's changed it's a true it's a true uh inflection point in my life it really is and that is it is? I'm on the Survivor train now. I'm watching Survivor. Can't believe I've slept on it for this long.

Oof! For the past 20 years. Is it not the best thing you've done for yourself in Quar? Here's what it is. For me, I don't know if this is everybody's experience. I have so much to say about this. I have so much to say about this outside of even just the show. Oh, I mean, same.

Well, here we go. Oh, yeah. They don't call it a social experiment for no reason. And that's actually rule of culture number 18. They don't call a social experiment

for no reason. Elaborate. I want to say that the reason why I think it's such a... I just think it's having a moment right now where a lot of people

are starting Survivor. But for me, it's like if i'm watching any old regular scripted show reality show where i'm like oh those people are at a bar and they're hanging out like i get sad um i'm like i'm not experiencing that but i'm if i'm watching survivor it's very interesting because they're these are people who i would not trade places with even now and And they're suffering and they're, I mean,

they, they, they get to socialize and touch other people, which is nice. But, um, I, it's, it's,

it's a really therapeutic watch where I'm like, ah, if they can get through 39 days of this, I can get through 39 more. You know what I'm saying? And we have now passed 39 days. So I was actually thinking to myself, I started on day 39 of my quarantine.

I started survivor on day 39. And that's huge and makes you iconic. Yes. And I just want to say that I was thinking to myself in my own home. Yeah. About how it had been 39 days. And I was like, can you imagine going on an island, a hot island, hun? Hot island during the day, perchance cold at night.

Perchance. And this is something they don't tell you about Survivor is it's hot during the day, but it's hot during the day but it is cold at night and that you know that's actually real culture number 40 you know on survivor it's hot during the day but it's cold at night and that's part of it babe that's part of it but i was thinking okay this is literally so hard and i think that it is something there's something to watching someone who is in a worse situation than us right now yes do their day-to-day now did you know and i know that you know because you're the one who alerted me to it but the survivor reddit has heard that we have begun watching survivor this is my this is my this is my whole sort of meta layer uh sort of opinion on all this is that like this is going to

be my i don't think so honey but like we are addressing you reddit it doesn't even apply to it's not even reddit it doesn't even and it doesn't even specifically apply to survivor here's what i'm gonna say any fandom is implicitly like pathetic and makes you a toxic person if you're if you're such a fan of something that like, okay, first of all, let's just give context. Apparently there was a Reddit thread on the Survivor subreddit where someone was like,

man, all these social media gays, quote unquote, are really watching Survivor now. And I have such weird feelings about it because I want people to watch the show because I'm a fan, but I'm protective of my, my, my fandom, which I get.

But then, but then this person goes on to say, like, for example, I just watched Bowen Yang on his Insta story. Talk about how a 13 year old season, a 13 year old season, how Jonathan and Candace Bowen Bowen's hot take was Jonathan and Candace.

Mutiny to Raro to ethnically cleanse Raro, which is not even a take. It's just factually what happened. Let's give a little bit of context here. We have to give a little bit of context here, which is Bowen is watching the season of Survivor, which is called Survivor Cook Islands, which it has been also dubbed Survivor Race Wars,

because what they did was, and this was CBS's fault, they split the tribes up into the races okay so this was controversial on their part and so when people are on survivor often what you do is you stick with your tribe to get numbers and so it appeared that contestants were like we gotta stick with our quote-unquote tribe except it except you literally had jonathan penner say things and i quote we gotta get rid of the asians it's like excuse me i mean maybe he should have used the tribe's name there maybe no maybe penner should use yes absolutely but it's like

you no no no but matt here's the thing it would you would never flip it. You never saw it flipped where like team, like, like team, um, team formerly Puka was like, we got to get rid of the white people. You, you never, you never like, it's, it's like, there's, there's no like reverse equivalent. There's no inverted equivalent. It's like, whatever. I don't, I don't have, I don't, I'm not going to use my powers of persuasion to be like, this is actually what happened. And like, but people on this Reddit thread were like, wow, gotta love snarky gays who come up with a hot take on a season that's 13 years old i'm like it's not even a hot take it's like this is my interpretation of what happened and it's like okay so then i shouldn't so now i'm just like totally fine with not commenting on

anything um no for the rest of my no truly no true i'm not even being dramatic i'm like but this is what i'm really this is what i'm. I'm scoping out onto every kind of fandom, whether it's like I'm dealing with Final Fantasy bullshit, even SNL people who love the show. I'm like, oh, the fact that you are so obsessed with this franchise, any franchise, and have such strong opinions about it

to not even invite any other opinion, an opinion that seems too new or is outside of what you're familiar with like forget it i don't well a lot of people are protective over the things that they love and that protective nature let me say something and that protective nature can sometimes extend to i actually don't want anyone watching this but me and i'm right about it right which is not true and is dangerous but that but that's where they're coming from.

But that's, it's such a slippery slope to, to, to get to that place because now it's like, even now it's like the drag race people, fandom who like are sending death threats to like some New York Queens this season. I'm like,

yeah. I mean, and any obsessive fandom is cuckoo crazy. That being said, I would love you to be obsessed with me. Honey. Yeah. Start a Reddit for Matt Rogers and have your opinions.

And please, and while you're at it, can someone explain to me Reddit? Because every time I go on Reddit, I'm like, what is this? Is that, is this? It's a message board. I don't know, but I don't know how to do it. I feel that reddit is difficult to navigate it's it's not you spend like you know a few hours with it get to know it maybe google a damn you know how-to page that has a damn legend for you and all right fine learn your way

around i'll do my research but while i do my research all survivor fans should know that we are here and we're not going anywhere no and we're going to be watching the show and we're catching up to you and also we're coming at you with our hot takes for seasons not even just 13 years old but 20 years old oh yeah i will watch survivor season 2 australia and have something to say about miss hasselbeck okay and you will hear my opinion right now in the moment when i see fit. Because I didn't have the emotional intelligence at age 10, 11, age 12 to say the way I feel. And so now I will watch Survivor Race Wars and I will have an opinion. Thank you.

Now, do you want to talk a little bit about your Survivor quarantine experience? I'm doing a Survivor on Instagram. This is true. It's called Survivor Quarantine. And I can't say anything about my gameplay. I just recommend everyone follow at Survivor underscore quarantine. And root for me. Also, a contestant on the show is the one and only Mary Holland.

Yes. Who we talked about last week with Lauren Lapkus. And it's almost like the fates brought her into my life. I love that. And so you can follow all the happenings. I hope you are a gay man who wins this reality competition. I'm watching Survivor China right now. I spoiled it for myself, but a gay man wins that one.

You'd spoil it for yourself. And I spoiled that, but I'm still going to enjoy it. We have our guest today. Speaking of a gay man winning. Speaking of a gay man winning a reality and winning an Olympic medal for that matter. Honey, national champion. Well, okay, bitch.

An Olympian and also the winner of Dancing with the Stars. He has that mirror ball trophy with Miss Jenna. Yes. And first of all, we give a shout out to Miss Jenna. We give a shout out to Miss Jenna. Who was our girl that is our guest today's partner on the show. And can I say something about Dancing with the Stars? Please.

They could never do it without their partners. And it's rule of culture number 11. On Dancing with the Stars, they could never do it without their partners. And this is a reality show, competition show that has stood the test of time as well. Stood the test of time as well. You don't get that many of them in the culture. You really don't. No, but this is someone who, you know, dances beautifully on the ballroom and on the ice and he's dancing into short form

mobile content yes short form mobile daily content daily okay we're talking about miss quibi miss quibi and the three i mean all three of us at this point have quibi quibi quibi quibi blood you know we're all quibi girls and actually it's a front runner for title of ep and it's actually a runner for title of ep i find that it's stomping to the front of the pack yes it's saying i'm here i don't think i don't think it's just Quibi Girls. I think it's just to fully quote the sentence. It's, we are all of us Quibi Girls. We are all of us. We are, comma, all of us.

All of us Quibi Girls. And the thing is, I want this individual to stomp the floor the way he stomped the world stage. Oh, yeah. And I want him to tell us all about the Quimby Show and all about everything that's going on and spill all the tea about the Olympics. I have lots of questions about the Olympics. Bo and Yang, we've never had an Olympic athlete on this podcast.

We have not. We've never had an Olympic athlete on this podcast. I'm so excited. Because we have to get our other sister Gus on here one of these days, but he didn't get here first. He didn't get here first. I mean, our guest is breaking new ground for this podcast, which is so important.

Now, everyone, please welcome into your ears adam wow you guys i i have to tell you it's like my dream to be here and what honestly what first of all thank you for shouting out miss jenna miss jenna absolutely a star she she a star. She absolutely is a star. Do you keep in touch? Oh yeah. We talk all the time, actually. Wow. To go from someone you used to touch all the time.

And now you get, you got to figure out your other ways to touch. I know it's a, you know, it's a journey. I will say I'm a little brush burned at the moment, but I will survive. I think.

Yeah. Now, what do you mean brush burn? This is, I mean, just, it's just, you know, I think at first when you feel like there's not much for you to do,

I found myself on Pornhub.com. Oh, I see. Brush burn. Gotcha. Brush burn. Brush burn. Brushy but not bloody, so I'm fine. No, you haven't broken the skin as of yet.

Yeah, and I think when you break skin, that's when you have to, I think, famously take a sabbatical. Guys, I'm noticing something in my meat-beating habits. Yeah, what? I gotta beat a little stronger these days. I don't know if it's that I'm getting older. I'm becoming desensitized. Yes, yes, yes!

Completely. I need actually a full Ringling brothers circus act going on behind because now nothing's doing it for me anymore right i mean that's a few weeks ago i had done it so much that the bottom like had a solid consistency i'm talking about my penis here yeah the bottom of my penis like a consistency and then the red like like it was quote unquote erect right yeah yeah and so i found that the bottom half of it would stay consistency and then the red like like it was quote-unquote erect right yeah yeah and so i found that the bottom half of it would stay erect and then the top half of it was like the buck stops here and it sort of broke over in the middle and i was like oh you're tired aren't

you you're it's pretty impressive you can isolate i mean let me tell you i don't know i don't know if it's impressive or if it's concerning that your cartilage isn't talking to each other. What I'm saying is I broke my dick jacking off in quarantine and I reach out to all the readers and all the girls out there that might be listening to this and say, if you have a broken dick from jacking off too much, I understand you. I see you.

Matt is really out here repping the hive of people who have titanic decks who just like split shows up in your like reddit thread which also I don't know how to use reddit because I was listening to and I was like I also don't know how to use reddit it's because I would imagine that they discuss you quite a bit well I don't know because I don't

know how to I don't know I honestly have never been on it because it's too intimidating there's not enough pictures I agree thank you it's too verbal there's not enough pictures i agree thank you it's too verbal it's too verbal yeah yeah too many in a stock image throw in a fucking getty thank you 100 can we throw in a getty it's actually rule of culture number 20 throw in a getty can we throw in a getty can we throw one in wow um wait listen we're thrilled that you are here i i mean that makes three of us we're so excited we're so excited adam okay i you're not the first can i can i say something you're not

the first olympian i've talked to in the last week i would say because i ended up somehow on a zoom game night with um a bunch of beautiful asian people among them alex shibutani and apollo ono oh wow they were talking among between themselves i was just like a fly on the wall listening i mean we were all like on the same zoom but they were talking about they think that the mcdonald's in every olympic village is like a sabotage plot from the americans to overfeed the other country's Olympians so that they fuck their bodies up by the time their events come up.

I mean, talking about survivor race wars. Wow! Talking about. Bring it to the forefront. Let's have a discussion. So here's the thing, like, you know, the McDonald's is notoriously, like, in the Olympic Village, like, in the cafeteria. Now I have to use my hands to show you. Like, you know, the McDonald's is notoriously like in the Olympic Village, like in the cafeteria. Yeah.

I have to use my my hands to show you. Please, please. Podcasts are a visual medium. Absolutely. And it's a dance. Yeah. Really? Yeah.

So when you're there, you're like they have a McDonald's tucked in the corner. And like usually the only people who go there, they've either like they've either finished competing, they're celebrating or they're feeling sorry for themselves. Oh, yeah. And so like I didn't really see anybody over there at first, except I saw the the curlers. They were over there. And I and, you know, I would run into them and they were super nice. And I kept thinking every time I saw them over at by the McDonald's, I walked away every single time was like, like it's such a shame that they're not doing well you know it's such a shame they're such good people it's such a shame they're so kind those curlers are so they have such a good nature they

honestly they're good that's that's good people yeah curling breeds a really good person and so you know one day i wake up and it's like the American curling team has won the Olympics for the first time in so many years. And I'm like, you know what? That does check out. Yeah, that does check out. I don't know. But I mean, I didn't have it until the very end until which I gorged myself like I was training for Nathan's hot dog eating contest. Is it a really large McDonald's?

It's a very tiny. Oh, OK. It's intimate. Romantic. I would even go as far as far as it crosses over into a restaurant truly yes intimate restaurant okay now this is such this is such interesting contours of experience and for all olympians who don't really openly talk about it so i just i just wanted your your anything you want to know i'm literally tell you all i all i love that the olympics are a thing i celebrate them i i watch them but what i really want to know i'm literally tell you all i i love that the olympics are a thing i celebrate them i i watch them but what i really want to know is about what goes down in the

olympic village okay i'll tell you because i i mean of course i was the thinnest i ever was in my life i was ready to go snatched i was snatched i was going into the tanning salons i had this skin color i i, but didn't. You were ready for the world stage at that moment. Absolutely. I got my eyebrows and eyelashes tinted. I was ready for the spotlight. Are you kidding? I was ready for prime time. Yes. You were like, what did Mike Pence say? I have a statement on that. Absolutely. And I was like, and now take my picture.

So I was absolutely ready for anything when I showed up there. And I was like, I've heard it's just a fuck fest. It's big fuck. Yeah. And I was like, I cannot wait for what this is. Obviously, I'm going to stay focused on my trade. Because I'm a worker, if anything. I have a job.

I will finish my job. So I walk in and, you know, this is, I'm just walking in with my bags, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed. And I, you know, the stories are that, like, they have baskets of condoms everywhere. Yeah, these are the stories. So I, first of all, the Olympic Village is basically, it's some sort of living situation that the city can then take over. So that, like, the cities are left with something and not basically like a wasteland. Right. So our Olympic Village was these high rise condo buildings. So I lived in a three bedroom condo with five people.

OK. So I shared a room with someone. We had one teammate that had his own room and then we had roommates on the other side. Everything else is covered in plastic. There no refrigerator there's no sink the only thing that's like installed is a toilet so it's very bare bones it's you need to have a question it's oh it's low b it's lb are you kidding yeah the there were their funds were not put into this so you're saying that this this kind of this shattered your illusion of like it being this like beautiful sex resort or i would say broke not shattered because i was still on obviously a path of finding where are the condoms yeah right even if at this point because you, it's so funny because I went to the Olympics at 28.

Yeah. I had teammates that were like 17 and 18. And I kept thinking, you know what? If I was like that age and super horny, obviously you'll just, you know, you're fucking a stairwell. You'll tell all your roommates. You'll be popping off. Yeah, absolutely. But like when you're 28, you're like, I kind of don't want to like have everyone in the living room. Yeah. when you're 28 you're like i kind of don't want to like have everyone in the living room or like yeah and also you eat the mcdonald's and then like it's in your body in a different way than

it was when you were 17 it hits different yeah different it hits different there's so much set up now at our age you know yeah you know everything is a prelude to the main orchestra and so the way yeah thank you um and so then i was like well i can't find the condoms anywhere so one thing that happens when you're at the olympics is you can get randomly drug tested at any time yes and um i have famously been drug tested a million times like when you know randomly when you're at home too they'll just show up they'll call you they'll be like we're outside we need a sample right now which is you have to pee in front of them. I've had one situation where I will share this podcast with you where I had to take a shit.

And there was, you know how sometimes, I don't know. I have the power of, you know how you had the power to have an erected up to the middle and then your body said no? That's Matt's power. That was just, I have to, just let me just clarify for all the readers it was just this this in this quarantine okay usually it's usually it stands up like the fucking washington monument honey and i do mean it's pointed at the end it's sharpened like a damn pencil these days continue you got a contour yes yes so then um so i'm thinking like i need to think of an escape route well so like the guy who comes in he had come to my house so many times that i knew his name already and so we have to the protocol is you have to show nipple the knee

so that they know that you're not like faking it or like you can't go into the bathroom and come out because like people will... In theory, you could have a fake sample waiting to go. So you need to... They just look. They're not studying. So they have to see your body. Visual confirmation that you're pissing.

Absolutely. Yes. Wow. Like I said, I was real thin. I didn't mind. Yeah. And what's this guy's deal? What was he all about?

He just works for the U.S. anti-doping agency. Yeah. USADA. So sometimes he would come over. I'd have to have a cup of coffee and 10 glasses of water. We'd talk for a little bit. And I'd pee in front of him and leave. I mean, basically, sounds like any date I've ever been on.

I smell a rom-com. Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Hallmark. Hallmark. Yeah. basically sounds like any date i've ever been i smell a rom-com yes yes yeah absolutely it's hallmark hallmark yeah um so he comes over and i'm realizing i have to take a shit um i'm thinking i obviously i can prairie dog it suck it back in and i'll just deal with it later but i'm realizing that this is a diarrhea and i there's nothing i can do that feeling when you're peeing and it's not like you can do just one it's that feeling when you're peeing and it's not like you can do just

one it's that feeling when you're peeing but you realize it's from the back right and I remember thinking I was like I wonder if I can convince my body to like move the fluids that I know are going to come from the back and just visually because you know they say as an Olympic athlete that visualization is important it's a very important part of being an athlete that I was trying to visualize just the, all the liquid just moving to the front to maybe see if I could channel it. And I spent maybe a good, probably a wasted 10 minutes feeling that out for myself, realizing, unfortunately it wasn't going to happen. So I looked at, this is the last drug test I ever had. And I looked at, his name was Emilio. I said, Emilio, I am so sorry that I know this, you know, I'm retiring. This is the last time you're ever

going to come to my house and I'm going to have to take a shit at you and look like a sad dog. So I sat on the toilet and had to take a diarrhea in front of my drug tester. You didn't have to do it in front of him. You could have told him to leave the room. No, he has to watch his body produce the urine, Bowen. So the thing is, is that if he left,

I'd have to just do another sample later. Inconvenient. No, are you kidding? I was on a schedule. Yeah, you were on some schedule at the time the girl was right there there everywhere

so but at Olympics they don't ask for urine they ask for blood kinky so they ask for blood so then they pick you up and you have to go to like the medical room so when I went to the medical room and now it all comes together is where i finally found the condoms and they were not anything like what i had wanted i thought they'd have the rings printed on them i

thought it would be fanfare damn and what was it just some like blue plastic nothing. It was a purple thing that said, in Korean, generic condom. No. Yes. And I have thousands. These are Olympians. You can't even fluff the people up. These are Olympians about to have sex. Isn't that awful?

Make them feel like kings and queens. Terrible. Terrible. Some Walgreen reject. That's what it was. But did you get any dick in the Olympic Village? No. No? No. And that's what it was but did you get did you get any dick in the olympic village no don't know no and that's also not we don't have to know i'm sorry are we are we being coy now after diarrhea no we aren't obviously i was giving blood and urine i was giving it out like it was a

fucking party you were ready to go i was ready i was what do you want from me anyone it's so crazy like those have to be the hottest men in the world i think the summer games are where it's truly at because it's hot basically their outfits are like you know it's you're shirtless or you're outside or you're you're sweating you know the the winter sports are more about covering up except for like figure skating you have to just look like a cold whore but like everything everything else is just bundle i do have to say as someone who grew up in colorado and like grew up around ski culture there's something very like the fact that you are bundled up is potentially a turn on to some

myself included where it's like it's the mystery it's the mystery and like you're in the lodge and you see people taking off the helmets and the jackets and you're like okay yeah there's something going on there and it's foreplay it's foreplay and also not for nothing but the performance and the costumery and the tightness of the costumery and you actually said three words before which will always give me like a memory boner which were the words apollo anton ono he was a huge sexual awakening for me yeah i don't think i knew my penis could feel that way oh before i before i saw him on the olympics and i was like oh that's what that's what. Wow, my penis is top to bottom

erect. There were no... It was a northbound train. There was no ifs, ands, or buts. There was no question this thing was hard top to bottom. Wow, amazing. Paulo Anton Ono, he was also an awakening for me. I mean, what was his first

games? What was it? Salt Lake City? That makes sense. Well, we're all basically the same age. for me. I mean, what was his first games? What was it? Salt Lake City? Salt Lake City, yeah. That makes sense. Well, we're all basically the same age. I think so. Like 30, right? 30, yeah. So that checks out. So I guess our penises were all sort of on the same clock.

Yeah. Now, okay, and please let us know if this is too prying, but could part of the reason that maybe you didn't really have sex in the Olympic Village, does it have to do with the fact that we're at this age now where it's like there is a little bit too much set up? There's too much prelude to sex. There's too much like, I got it. Because I don't even like.

He's like, no. No, no. Okay. No. I'll say that. You know what it was? It was like by the time I was done competing, I knew that there was like a lot of fanfare

going on around me. Yeah, yeah. That I also wasn't trying to like- Capitalize on it. Yeah. Well, you'd have to do, like you'd have to either like ask all your roommates to leave or like,

like there was just, it was too much juggling. I get it. And also not for nothing but you probably were one of the most famous people there like so so there is also the thing of like you know there was like this like sort of america's sweetheart narrative around you and then it's like what happens if they find out what america's sweetheart actually do oh who cares exactly it's something we have to it's something that we quibby girls have to think about a sweetheart actually do. Who cares? We're past it. It's something we have to,

it's something that we Quibi girls have to think about. We Quibi girls. We Quibi girls. We Quibi girls. In the Quibi girl demographic, we are actually, I'm sorry to say it,

but hoes. And I sometimes feel if some of these little girls buying McDonald's toys found out about the hoes, you know. Yeah. They'd buy into it, I think. I think that in the back of their mind,

they have an Apollo Anton Ono moment. Well, who doesn't? A little soul patch? You couldn't have told me that wasn't the hottest thing in the world.

Here are seasoned reporters I'm NK, and this is Basket Case. I felt too seen. Dragged. I'm N.K., and this is Basket Case.

So I basically had what back in the day they would call a nervous breakdown. I was crying, and I was inconsolable. It was just very big, sudden swaps of different meds. What is wrong with me? Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl. Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health

is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in. Because if you haven't noticed, we are experiencing some kind of conditions that are pretty hard to live with. But if you struggle to cope, the society that created the conditions in the first place will tell you there's something wrong with you. And it will call you a basket case.

Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, we're back with Adam. Adam, we're going to ask you the question we ask all of our guests um which is matt why don't you ask the question well listen this question is what was the culture that made you say culture was for you so definitive defining definitely pop culture that made you

say okay this is doing something to me and causing me to become who I am? You know. I've thought about how I wanted to answer this question. Often different from how you do answer it. Yes. And I wanted to say, you know, watching Nick at night, watching Lucille Ball, obviously. But when I think about it, and if I were to be honest with myself, I'm looking at myself in the Zoom mirror right now, and I want to be honest,

and I know that if I said Lucille Ball, that's... No, it's not right. I'm going to tell you. When I knew the culture was for me, it was the day Sherry Lewis, the famous ventriloquist, died. What? Let me elaborate. Sherry Lewis,

famously, she is... Lamb yeah lamb chop thank you so much she is a p-buddy winner she's a 12-time emmy winning ventriloquist wow i loved lamb chop but i knew the culture was for me the day she died it was some it was like aug 98. And she died. And I gathered all of my Lamb Chop memorabilia. And I created a shrine in my room. And I cried. Oh, babe. Adam. So wait, can we?

Because you seem to have a vocabulary about Lamb Chop and Miss Sherry as well, Bowen. Well, no. I mean, excuse me? I don't know this person at all. In Canada? You don't know Lamb Chop Canada you don't know Lamb Chop you don't know Lamb Chop I have to tell you

I need an I need an education from my sisters because because Sherry Lewis was part of Skinny Marinky Dinky Dink Skinny Marinky Do

I Love You I Love You yes famously of course I know that bop those are the lyrics those are the lyrics of course I know the bop it was

it was truly like that's the bop come on that my my little childhood pantheon was like Sesame Street this is the song

that never ends are you kidding yes oh my god she had two number ones two number ones multi multi platinum

multi platinum it's like if we actually looked actually looked at the charts I'd be like yep it took the boy is mine off the charts

in September 2001 the song that never ends the song that never ends i love share and no no and i remember distinctly my sister had like a lamb chop like toiletry case or something like little um you know she knew dop kit she knew like lamb chop like was on the same level as like sesame street and like even like just in terms of like muppets like puppeteering and stuff right it was just like it wasn't the puppets it was the performance yeah like i always loved it and she was always like she was just her one woman show moving both her hands all she all she needed was a camera and a sock and that woman could win an emmy And that's what it was for me. How do you spell Sherry Lewis?

Okay, wait. S-H-A-R-I. Yep. Oh, I know Miss Sherry Lewis. And she's stunning. Yeah, she was giving you mainstream Reba look. She was giving you that red hair, mama. Yes.

And the young girls that were on her hand were often little lambs i remember girls now what was it about the death that like opened up like was it that you were in such grief that you were like oh i care so much about this person yeah i think the thing about the death was that like you, you know, everything was like, I think the one thing why Lucille Ball, why she couldn't be it for me, which is, I'm sure, a true regret in her own life if she were to be here now. She's rolling in her grave, really, because it really was Lucille versus sharing. I mean, that's really the narrative. She's going back and forth right now. I can hear her.

I can hear her. I can see her looking at me right now, rolling her eyes. We can hear you, Lucille. We can hear you. I can hear her. I can see her looking at me right now, rolling her eyes. We can hear you, Lucy. We can hear you. Lucille, we know. I know. And the thing that did it was that I knew she was already dead. So I couldn't form a connection with her.

Yes. Even though she truly, like, I wanted to perform when I saw, like, Lucille Ball. Because, like, people were clapping and laughing. But it was Sherry Lewis that, like, I always felt like, oh, maybe I could meet her or something. And then when she died, I just felt this sadness, which made me realize that I actually like loved her. This is here. Can I posit something? It's like, this kind of happened to me with this, like, Chinese singer. And, like, the first, like, my first, like, moment of standing I can remember as a child.

But then this also happened again. And let me know if I'm onto something. When Princess Di passed away. Oh, my God. It was so much concentrated, directed, like, love for one person that you realize as a kid that it imprints on you. You're like, oh, my God. I love this woman i what an iconic female woman like for for little cis gay boys like that like that is like a moment

for us right we're like oh my god this is how like someone is worshipped in this right sherry lewis sherry the original princess yes thank you actually it's a rule of culture and real culture number 33 sherry lewis is the originalis i also think with the thing that princess diane maybe this is something to do with it too with um famously a mother and a young like mother and knowing that she was leaving behind children and i also do think that there is something if you actually observe the women that you stand see if there is some from childhood and from like development see if there is something if you actually observe the women that you stand see if there is some from childhood and from like development see if there's something similar to them with your mothers because i've actually thought about this 100 for me kelly clarkson is who i stand and

her personality is very similar to my mother's would you agree bowen very same kind of like i'm laughing and i bet we're having a good time and isn't this great and like and like oh I don't you know whatever like that kind of whole thing of like come on I'm coming to my house take your shoes off that kind of thing like what she's doing with her talk show right now I knew she was capable of when she was 19 20 years old on American Idol I was like wow that's a mom and I was like I connect no the best way, in the best way. I completely agree with you because my mom has this, everything is right. And there's just one knob that's slightly off that you're like,

she's a little nutty. She's kooky. Sherry Lewis. That's Sherry Lewis, famously kooky. And that's also like all of the people that I really enjoy. They're super funny. They're very like vivacious. And they're just a little kooky.

Yeah. They have that kook button. Absolutely. And it's pushed. And it's when it's pushed. I want to say that my mom, very like, very like selfless. And I got to say, that's Princess Di for you. My mom is Princess Di.

Your mom actually is Princess Diana Princess Diana of Wales well you know actually famously Princess Diana you know she gave to many charities and she found

many landmines many landmines and oh no but honestly like Gay Icon like was like oh for sure like was like

kind of like reaching out to people with AIDS when like when the only other people who are doing that were like madonna and i don't know you know in a real way absolutely that's probably not actually accurate but no i mean she was definitely like she was like an aids icon sure um like like she really like did work you know i thought she was kind of done dirty by

drag race when not not in the way that katya did her at all like i thought katya was incredible but like i don't think they gave Katya enough to work with. They didn't give her a moment. No, they didn't. Where was the big wedding dress? She was wearing a wedding dress, but where was the iconic train?

Where was... I mean, there were so many more funny jokes to make about Princess Diana. I thought that Katya was done dirty by the atmosphere of that performance. Sure, sure. I mean, you can, sure. I mean, you can't pick, I mean, not all

Rusical parts are created equal, as we know. Yes, they are not. And also, we have a RuPaul's guest, we have a RuPaul's Drag Race guest judge, and not only guest judge, but also helped with the choreo. Helped with the choreo. I really didn't, they said they asked me to help with the choreo, but it was with

Travis motherfucking Wall. Yeah, I remember watching it, but I was with Travis' motherfucking wall. Yeah, I remember watching it and I was like, I think Travis might be doing most of this. Yeah, and I was just kind of there and I'm just sort of like,

yeah. Yeah, I mean, of course. Yeah, Travis, you took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly. I also thought

there should be a lift there. Well, my favorite thing is they're like, okay, Adam, can you repeat the choreo with Travis? And I'm like, choreo with Travis and I'm like oh no and I'm like I cannot I don't know what he just did

and they're like now go up to the queens and ask them if they're really struggling with it I'm like I'm really struggling with it I mean I was failing if I were a queen I would have been voted off oh my god I mean how long were you in that were you like in the room with them like for the choreo session?

Two hours. Okay. That's reasonable, but still like an hour per team. Cause there was like two teams there, but Travis was there all night. Wow. He's no joke. No, he's not. He's not joking.

No. Is he a friend of yours? He is. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And he's brilliant. I mean, he's just, he's brilliant.

Like I met him a few years ago and he's just, I mean, he's so, he he's just he's brilliant like i i met him a few years ago and he's just i mean he's so he's so he's so smart he is like what he puts out is genius but it's funny like when you go into like a situation like that you really have to like you have to make it look like you're not making something for the least common denominator and you have to make everybody look like a fucking star yeah or they will look like a disaster and you'll look like a mess like it'll it'll just look like your stuff isn't getting put out there correctly yeah sure sure i have to say it's also one of the reasons why i to this that not only do i respect todrick's um music and how the bitch always puts together a musical movie video like with a theme a strong

theme with a strong theme but also his drag race sort of moments that he creates are always the best they're always they're great todrick todrick is amazing he is amazing well because he's drag you know he's he is drag thank you thank you thank you yeah no he is no adam would you would you put Sherry's death... Not to go back to this, but okay, this is my graceless pivot into talking about your Quibi show. This is This Day in Useless Celebrity History. And this is how I always saw it, you know? And this is how you always saw the transition.

Coming from a death. Coming from a death? I will say you were right about the date. You said August 1998, and she did die on August 2nd, 1998. I mean, I remember it coming in on the news, and my mom being like, Sherry Lewis has said, and she's making a hamburger helper in the background. I'm like, and you're going to be so passe?

Wow. So passe. She was family, Kelly. She was family to us, and so was Lamb Chop. How dare you? How dare. And so was Lamb Chop. How dare you. How dare. And that's when I collected all of my things. I think Lamb Chop was also, I will get to my Quibi show, I promise you.

But when I was five, I became ill. I had my appendix taken out. Uh-huh. And I remember Lamb Chop is in my mind because I threw up on my Lamb Chop pillow, which they eventually eventually was one of the only things they let me take into the operating room so lamb like wow that's not it's trauma it's trauma it's trauma it never leaves you well beauty grows from trauma and i think that's why truly sherry lewis is when i knew the culture was for me. That's beautiful. Okay, so you can really pinpoint it to that

and explain why. That's huge. Good for you. Thank you so much. And also, puppet culture is comedy culture because I'll say this. Sesame Street did what it needed to do and it continues to do what it needs to do

and the Muppets did what they needed to do and that was some of the best sketch comedy that you could get. Muppet did what they needed to do. And that was some of the best sketch comedy. Yes, it was. That you could get. Muppets show tonight. I'm snapping. Thank you. Yeah, me too.

They didn't give the ABC show a shot, a fair shot. The one that was out like a few years ago. No. Everything Muppets that comes out now, I feel like no one takes seriously. And I'm like like you guys have to take this seriously it's like this is muppets are muppets are for all time but some some sometimes they try stuff out and you're like okay let's see how this goes remember when they unveiled

a potential new love interest for kermie which was that pig with a more like with a wider face and wide wider set eyes and like kind of more like boorish so no she's like more of like a seductress kind of more boorish no like more of a seductress pig more so than miss piggy wow and you're like this is gonna be an iconic muppet and then they never really gave this muppet a shot this new pig pig. Well, because I actually have to say, I think that's a good idea, because what you don't do is what you don't fuck with Miss Piggy. Because then I'll tell you what happens.

Miss Piggy will start with her diva antics, and you know that Miss Piggy is the number one diva. And the next thing that might happen, and you really don't want this to go down, is you don't want Miss Piggy to say because she

iconically says and by the way a that is funny every time yeah and be it means she's gonna hit you you know what you know what the best part of you she's gonna hit you

the best part of Muppet Christmas Carol is when Scrooge Christmas morning at the end goes to Marley's house and then Miss Piggy is trying to tell off Scrooge and goes and you'll be leaving at once

and when Miss Piggy says that you leave at once yeah no she is too good you know the best Christmas album of all time is The Muppets Sing with John Denver. Oh, baby.

Please tell us. I'm not familiar with this. You don't know? What? I don't know. Oh, I have the compact disc. I could send you if you need.

John Denver was also culture and also talk about another tragic death, not for nothing. I know. I know. I'm so sorry to really bring this. No me that's so much oh my god I didn't even know he was sick no no he died in a plane crash and it was this girl you didn't know that

yeah when not really in the end the air is nine years ago let me look this up in And it was this thing. Girl, you didn't know that? Yeah. When? In the 90s? Years ago. Let me look this up. In the 90s or in the 80s? Yeah, look it up. This ended up me looking up celebrity deaths. And I gotta say, it's always good to have knowledge. All right, so John Denver passed on October 12th, 1997.

And it was his plane crashed in Monterey bay near pacific grove california wow yeah so there it was a failure to refuel and then a subsequent loss of control isn't that's just that's just i gotta say no celebrity should be getting in small planes and getting going up there i don't think it ends well no you couldn't pay me to get in one of those small planes unfortunately yeah unfortunately no i mean even even harrison ford almost had a close call it's too scary i mean even when you're flying in a huge plane and you feel like it i know no bad fire turbulence not not a flyer i'm like a drunk flyer i have i always need a drink yes yeah yes yes well i actually like it's it's kind crazy, but it's the only time I drink IPAs because they make me so tired because they're so heavy and they're so hoppy.

I really will pass out like and thank God for my early 20s when I thought when I was trying to be on Tinder and be like, I like IPAs because I saw like other like gays putting them on their dating profiles. And so I was always going out with guys and drinking IPAs I like IPAs because I saw other gays putting them on their dating profiles. I was always going out with guys and drinking IPAs and getting drunk enough to hook up with them. It really was my brand at the time. Tinder gay, trying to be a little bit

masky. I had a boyfriend that drank IPAs. Was that what attracted you to him? Was that one of the things that attracted you to him? Yeah, it was a quality I actually looked for wow a personality trait do you have IPAs

do you drink IPAs do you have a boyfriend now I do yeah and is it serious it is serious we've been together for like two and a half years serious so this was during the olympics we were talking during the olympics another reason why i like we so okay so i was at a competition in finland

earlier um in well like later in 2017 so in october of 2017 i was on t, obviously, as you can tell, focused. Oh, yeah. Focused. On the quote-unquote trade. When you said before that you were focused on your trade, I was like, I wonder if he means trade or trade as in a craft. In what sense? I meant it in the royal trade. Yes, yes. Yeah. So I was on Tinder.

We matched, never met. And then I left. Then I guess a week later, like he was just, he was just super engaging and really cute and just, and he's gorgeous. So we were just talking back and forth and then we started talking like every day. And so we talked and never sent a nude, which I thought was a red flag at first. Um,

cause I was thinking something's gotta be, uh, something's up. Um, but we talked back and forth and would send each other like long, like video messages. Cause we never like synced up our like time change, but I was like, I'm never going to meet him.

But I think because of that, it was like so open about everything with him. So we did that for like seven months before he flew to LA and we met. And then that was like two and a half years ago. So he was living in Finland before that? Or no, you guys- He still is.

So like- He's quarantined like- Wow. In Europe. Yeah, so I don't know when he'll be able to come back, which that's- Oh, jeez. That's rough. I'm sorry that's that's rough i'm

sorry that's happening oh it's okay are you now i'm gonna have to get over the death of john denver so i have to distract that's that's really what i was doing is i was gonna throw you another trauma to kind of throw you off the scent yeah absolutely i'm just sort of like yeah okay sure are you are you here in los angeles the choir? I am. Beautiful. I'm in New York. I'm in New York. Oh, wow.

Famously. Yeah, famously in New York. It was a gorgeous day here today. And then it just like disarms your, it just disarms you because I'm like, oh, this is kind of manageable for a little longer, but like it's not. No, it's not. My mood changes violently.

Yeah. I'm sometimes the higher than I've ever been and then lower than I ever thought I would go. I'm like, it's so wild what this does to your mind. Yeah. Yeah. My boyfriend found me weeping in the next room. He's like, what's wrong? You like dropped everything.

And I had to come to me. Like every eight days I have like the worst day of my life. Yeah. And then like, and then I really convinced myself I'm fine for like the seven days leading up. And so like, I'm just trying to like fill my, what is the bullshit you're filling your time with right now? Yeah.

Um, so I had never seen how to get away with murder so i watched all of that great great camp what that's a revelation first of all this isn't i mean this could have been my like my rant but i it won't be i'll think of something else shonda rhymes stop making characters that i fall in love with for three seasons and then realize that they're the problem. Yep. Oh, first of all, I have a big problem.

Viola Davis, all of this drama happening in Philadelphia, go to a real city. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. As someone who lived in the Philadelphia suburbs and famously took Greyhound buses to and from Scranton to Philly,

that shit was not going on. Viola Davis, Annalise Keating, get it together. Get it together. Truly get it together, Miss Annalise. Also, not for nothing, but she was someone that we should be looking up to. She famously said, why is your penis on a dead girl's phone? And that is an iconic line which does not get the credit.

And it's going to be rule of culture number 46. Why is your penis on a dead girl's phone? Does not get the credit. And that's a rule of culture. And also just the way that her character is introduced when she's writing in shock the name of her class. How to get away with murder. I have chills running down my neck startling it is and see viola davis carrie washington obviously like any real american i would take a bullet for either

of them right and there's a moment in how to get away with murder where like uh carrie washington is in a scene i actually i think because i was in quarantine i felt tears welling wow because i was like and i remember thinking i also had been drinking like the whole day it's probably it was probably like 2 30 in the afternoon i'd been drinking you know drinking all day yeah um and i remember thinking how lucky am i yeah that we get this crossover like the the talent in one room and i just kept thinking all of these things are going through my mind i was like annalee's keating is she's acting like the protege of of carrie washington right now in the juxtaposition of that and then like yeah i had that moment outside my

body and i'm like you need water yeah i think what you need to do is actually you need a glass of fucking you need to drink water because you don't know these fake women. Yeah. Olivia Pope was big for me, too. I loved her boldness in dressing in all white all the time and drinking her red wine. Red wine. Huge, comically huge glasses that didn't get enough attention. Her glasses are very from Pier 1, your 21st birthday.

Pier 1 imports. Everything in her home. Starter glass set. Yeah. Starter set. Pier 1 imports. Everything in her home. Starter, starter, starter glass set. Yeah. Starter set. But here's my thing with Shonda.

We talk about Shonda. We do. All the time. Not even, we just talk about Shonda in the world. She comes up. This is my thing.

You guys are talking about the way Viola Davis' character gets introduced. She's writing the damn title of the show on a chalkboard. It's like, Shonda did not used to be this shonda used to write like when graze first started like the thing that i loved about graze was oh this is

just pilot perfect pilot this is just ali mcbeal but surgeons where it's like sexy like little quips like not actually melodrama and now any shonda rhimes show, it's like a meteor's hit the hospital or whatever. Yes. Yeah. It's so crazy. It goes there too quickly and too often. Exactly. As soon as Denny died at the end of season two of Grey's, Shonda got it in her head.

I don't know. I'm speaking for her. But she got it in her head that this is what the people want. They want these insane, unbelievable circumstances. And I feel like I miss the old Shonda, which was like grounded, funny, like charming. I don't know.

See, I feel like when Shonda would pop off is in the dialogue. Yes. And that's what I love. And the set PC nature of the episodes now where it's like, there's a lion loose in Seattle. It's like, oh no!

Like, you know what I mean? Like, I can't believe that we're here, you know? And also what really lost me was when they did the shooting episode. But actually the shooting episode had a great moment though where, remember when the shooter like points the gun to April Kepner and April's like, I have two brothers and I have,

my father's a farmer and a farmer. Like a great moment where she just like starts to like spill personal details. And then the shooter like, I mean are there are still great moments of tv that to me is what we call trauma porn yes irresponsible and bad but don't you miss the episodes of graze and like season two when the whole the a story the a story was callie didn't wash her hands in front of Meredith and Izzy. And that was the entire story.

And it was so funny. Small. And like the end of the episode is like a Regina Spektor song and George and Callie are talking to each other. And Callie's like, you have to stand up for me. You have to tell people I washed my hands. Like such good writing. I don't know. I miss it.

It's just the little things. Were you a graze? I wasn't a graze oh you have you have a lot to catch up on you because i didn't even watch survivor either which now i'm like afraid to get i'm afraid to get into it because i know i know i will you actually should fear getting into it because because you won't turn back and but it is fucking great you will love it and as someone who's competed on a reality show, I think you will love it.

I'm sure. And I feel like you would love the first two seasons of Grey's too. I'm sure I would love Grey's, because the thing is, Shonda Rhimes is a genius. I mean fully. We're here being like,

we wish Shonda would be better! And it's like, I would cut off my half-working penis to have an ounce of the talent. Yeah. That, that is, that is,

I'm with you. I mean, hello. It can leave me. I don't need it. I don't need the top half. If I can have full talent, if you can have full talent,

but I think, wait, didn't seek treatment, do a thing recently. I see another podcast that Adam is on. Didn't seek treatment, do something recently where like Shonda Rhimes is now shilling in these pen commercials now?

Well, I'm sure. She's suddenly on camera talent. She's in these pen commercials being like marking up scripts with like, I rely on this brand pen, blah, blah, blah. And then truly an assistant... No, but this is the beautiful part. I think this is what happens.

Some assistant knocks on her door and goes,onda they're expecting that pilot uh by seven and then she looks at her pen and goes that won't be a problem it's so good that won't be a problem because i have this pen and only this pen it's as easy as having an amazing pilot is as easy as having that pen. And you're talking about a woman who already makes hundreds of millions of dollars. So it's like, what must the check have been like? Oh, you know, Big Pens has been fucking lining their pockets waiting for this moment. Yes.

Yes. 100%. What's your dream endorsement? What's your dream? Or not? Yeah. You must have had some good ones. I've had some good ones.

A fun. I did a commercial for Skittles once, which was very fun. I love the Skittles commercial. I really do. And obviously it came with mini Skittles, which that was fantastic. I think Skittles was probably the most fun. I've done like little one. I always do think as a true influencer, I would only work with the brand I know and love.

I can stand behind. Well, so I did this one thing I did. I did something with Nivea once and it was this like this. I remember the Nivea. I did it with this football player, Danny Amendola, who I love. He always I think it's so funny because it's like, he seems exactly like somebody who wouldn't be friends with me, but he comments on all my Instagram posts.

I don't trust her. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Wednesdays at 9 on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. This week, Charlemagne Tha God sits down with Vice President Kamala Harris for a conversation you don't want to miss. The things that we want and are prepared to fight for won't happen if we're not active and if we don't participate. They tackle the big questions, politics, policy, and what's next for the country. Doesn't the Biden administration have to take some blame for the border, though? Charlemagne, first thing we dropped was a bill to fix the broken immigration system, which, by the way, Trump did not fix when he was president.

Don't miss this in-depth interview with Charlemagne the God and Vice President Kamala Harris, only on The Breakfast Club. Catch the full interview now on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's Mike and Ian. We're the hosts of How to Do Everything from NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. Each week, we take your questions and find someone much smarter than us to answer them. Questions like, how do you survive the Bermuda Triangle? How do you find a date inside the Bermuda Triangle? We can't help you, but we will find someone who can.

Listen to the How to Do Everything podcast on iHeartRadio. I felt too seen. Dragged. I'm NK, and this is Basket Case. So I basically had what back in the day they would call a nervous breakdown. I was crying and I was inconsolable. It was just very big, sudden swaps of different meds. What is wrong with me? Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl.

Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in. Because if you haven't noticed, we are experiencing some kind of conditions that are pretty hard to live with. But if you struggle to cope, the society that created the conditions in the first place will tell you there's something wrong with you. And it will call you a basket case. Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're actually back. Yes. You're actually back. I love being back. Yeah, one of my favorite things is to be back because when I'm gone, I don't trust myself. And people often miss me,

but we're back for I Don't Think So, Honey. Wouldn't you say, Bowen? I would say that. But just really quickly, I just want to make sure. Adam was quoting the Cups song just now. I just want to – Yes, that was. That was going on?

Yeah, it was. Iconic culture. I pulled a lyric from the Cups song. Now, I think the Cups song is due for a comeback. And I'm not even really being ironic about this. I feel like the Cups song came and went. I mean, it did not – It deserved a let-it-go shelf mean, it did not, it deserved to let it go.

Shelf life. It did not quite have that. I feel like cup song was, was, was popping that one summer and then it just disappeared. I feel like cup song should come back. A lot of, a lot of memeable entry points in,

in cup song. I support it. What do you think, Matt? Well, I have to say that as a Quibi girl, I have to publicly support Ms. Anna because even though Ms. Anna Kendrick and I have had our that as a Quibi girl, I have to publicly support Ms. Anna because even though Ms.

Anna Kendrick and I have had our differences in the past, our differences mostly being, I share John early sentiment that the title of her autobiography is scrappy little nobody. And that is not good. Right. But she's a Quibi girl with like us. I support my Quibi sister and her show about having a friendship with a sex

doll. And I think that everyone should go ahead and check that out i also don't think she was a stunning cinderella and into the woods i loved her and into the woods i live for her and into the woods and let me tell you i was kind of like so i'm kind of like similar with with anna kendrick that i am with bryce dallas howard every time i see that anna kendrick is cast in something, I'm like, okay. Like with Bryce Dallas Howard, I'm always like, okay. And then I watch it and I'm like, yeah. That was good.

They pulled through in the end. And Bryce Dallas Howard gets you with the choices and Anna Kendrick, I feel, gets you with the proficiency. But then Anna Kendrick will hit you with, on the steps of the palace! And you're like, yes, we are right here. A belted final note with On the steps of the palace! And you're like, yes, we are right here. A belted final note of On the Steps of the Palace. And we have to stand that and respect

that one. You're going to belt Sondheim. We're going to have to stand that. And happy birthday, Steve. And happy birthday, Steve. Thank you for listening, Steve. Thank you for listening, Steve. Of course, Stephen Sondheim is one of our biggest fans of Las Culturistas

he's written us many handwritten letters with actual he sometimes says critiques he has critiques but we accept them and we say thank you Stephen

happy 90th Steve happy 90th we really enjoyed the program celebrating your birthday hope you're well today kiss but I have an I don't think so honey

if you don't mind Bowen I don't mind and I would be happy to time yours one second alright so I don't think so, honey, if you don't mind Bowen. I don't mind. And I, um, would be happy to time yours one second. All right. So I don't think so, honey, for everyone listening at home is our 60 second segment that we do. We rail against something in culture that we just don't like. And also, you know, you guys might be wondering like, when will be, we be able to do a live? I don't think so.

Honey show again. We were supposed to do them for New York pride, but look guys, pride is canceled in new york this year the second we can go out and do live shows again you know that's the very first thing we're going to want to do oh yes really feels like such a moment in time now those shows don't they i know i miss them very much but we'll do we'll do more we'll do more and we'll have to have adam or pawn on yes oh my god if she's like to twirl if she's kidding she's invited. Okay, Matt. What do you think, Beau? I think it's time to go.

I think it's time to do it. Okay, here we go. This is Matt Rogers' I Don't Think So Honey as time starts now. I Don't Think So Honey almond milk. You're not milk.

First of all, you don't taste like milk and you're a nut. And you actually come from nuts. One thing I know about milk for sure is you come from a cow. I'm sorry, and I apologize to everyone who's going to be sensitive about this, but I grew up in a house where we drank 2% milk, you snowflakes.

And I put that in my cereal and filled it to the top. And I would have two kinds of cereal daily, Raisin Bran and Honey Nut Cheerios. And I would put two things in it. Raisins, strawberries. Oh, wait, no. I put a third thing in it. 2% milk.

Why? Because it's milk. Almond milk, your expiration dates are confusing to me. How can you be milk and stay for two months? 15 seconds. I don't understand this. And if it's not staying and I'm drinking old almond milk, someone needs to tell me. Because it's not clear on the box.

It's not clear in life. These almond milk almonds aren't even my favorite nuts. My favorite nuts are peanuts. Five seconds. Because I'm what? Normal. I don't think so, honey. And that's one minute.

Wow. We're really making some political statements here. And here's the thing. I have to go. Whenever I go into a coffee shop, I feel I'm going to be judged if i want to drink regular milk because these girls in la it's taboo now you're being very dairy normative you're being very peanut normative i have to say and um and you called and you and you employed a um right wing sort of slur there by calling your people snowflakes i think what i did there was i employed a right-wing slur.

At least someone's employed. And that was with full intention. And I'm really ready for Reddit to truly read me to filth. And this is across all Reds. We actually don't have a Reddit.

But anyone that wants to come for me about this almond milk thing, please. And yes, I will continue to drink almond milk in an effort to not have as much dairy, but I'm not happy about it. You're not happy about it. Nothing tastes the same. Oof. Don't you dare try it.

It's like the old saying goes, nothing tastes as good as milk tastes. Mmm. I think, yeah, Kate Moss said that. Kate Moss said that. Kate Moss said that. I love that. Now, what happens after I do my I Don't Think So Honey is Bowen Yang, it's custom for him

to do his. And that's the culture of this podcast. And it has its own culture. And so now I would say it is time for Bowen Yang's I Don't Think So Honey. I'll start that time now. I Don't Think So Honey heterosexual people's close friends on Instagram. it is time for bow and yangs i don't think so i'll start that time now i don't think so honey heterosexual people's close friends on instagram their close friend stories are not salacious whether it's like you're not showing me nudes and you're not talking shit so then why the hell are

you posting a picture of your zucchini bread for me to see it's not you're you're you're drawing me in you're coaxing me to see some content that i think might be cool and might be edgy and fun and feel personal to me and i and then and then i go wait why why am i even on this close friend 30 seconds earned this and you have not earned the the platform for close friends does that make sense like it does it's all in bad faith on both sides i don't trust straight people any more than i used to before close friends 15 seconds so i don't know there's a lot of goodwill to be made up straight people especially since um you know especially since now that we're all in this 5g crisis i don't have wi-fi anymore i'm only relying on 5g

that's the real 5g conspiracy that's happening in America right now that might have something to do with Corona. Who knows? The jury's still out. And that's one minute and quite a conspiracy theory there. That was a master class. Thank you. It was really, really good.

And I actually have to say, Bowen Yang has informed me that he is on the close friends of a heterosexual star. Yes. And I was very excited to find out that he was included on this. I was very excited. Heterosexual stars, close friends. It was very exciting.

And it's a hot heterosexual star. And we'll tell you afterwards who it is, Adam. Wow, thank you. But nary a nude, not even a shirtless pic. Just pictures of Brad. I'm too afraid to use close friends. And I don't have a Finsta. And I feel like I'm really missing out on both.

Bowen has a Finsta. I recommend the Finsta. What do you put on it? Slutty stuff. Really? You talk shit about people. You screen cap a text you got from someone. You're like, what the fuck are they talking about?

It's fun. Okay. It's fun. It's great. It's a Reddit thread, basically. It's a Reddit threaddit essentially it's a reddit friend for six or seven of your closest friends honestly the the whole the whole close friends thing is something i'm still navigating because as i get more and more sort of like stir crazy and core i do i did find myself being a slut on close friends the other day i love it and look that's beautiful you

gotta get your kicks because i've never because let me tell you something i don't know about you guys well i know about you bowen but i'm never being a whore on maine i'm never getting slutty on maine it's just not gonna happen i've gotten slutty on maine it's fine i've gotten a little slutty on maine sometimes my boyfriend tells me i don't post enough like shirtless pictures and i'm like okay he wants you to he's encouraging it yes he is encouraging it it's because he knows that's what the people respond to like whenever you post a thirst trap of yourself it's sad but true that is what gets the light that's yes absolutely and like i'll be posting like clips of game show i'll be posting like pictures of this set and everything and it's like 90 likes yeah i mean i could have a picture of a newborn fucking

when you're measuring out how many different sized Lazy Susans can fit in one cupboard. Look. What is a Lazy Susan? Oh, Bowen, Lazy Susan's the cupboard. What is a Lazy Susan? Oh, Bowen, Lazy Susan's the best. Lazy Susans are the things that you put on the counter that spin. Yes, okay, that's what I thought.

But you guys are putting them in your shelves? Oh my god. You can put them in your shelving and it's really cool. Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's actually stunning.

You know, a Lazy Susan, this is just a gift of some knowledge to all the readers, and it's a tip, really. A Lazy Susan is a wonderful housewarming gift.

Oh, that's right. And it's a great gift, really. I mean, if you have any idea what the sort of aesthetic of a friend's house is and you need to get them something, a Lazy Susan is something that no one else will think of. Yeah. And it's useful, and it gets displayed sometimes. I'm going to paint a picture for you really quick. Okay.

the back that wasp killer that you have for every once a year when they make a nest on your patio out here this is very la culture okay yes and i bet you you'll use more of your products that way too because you won't be like oh i have to reach all the way back there and get them you simply have an inventory absolutely you're so right another way you can use a lazy susan which is how i bought greta a lazy susan i bought greta and abe one and they use it to put their breakfast condiments out on the table and they spin the it's a great brunch thing if you're having people or if you're going somewhere for brunch like a picnic bring the lazy susan out yes you can do that um the lazy susan you know she's not too heavy. You know, she's a beautiful girl.

She comes in all different kinds of colors. I have one that's marble, which, wouldn't you know it, matches my countertops. That's elegant. We cannot make the children forget that Container Store is busted

You're going to get sick. you are you're gonna get sick you're gonna get sick you're actually gonna get sick yeah you're actually gonna get sick now i want to say something about this episode i didn't get sick i'm much more well oh i'm much i i actually feel better now i do too i bet people will not believe that this is the first, well, hashtag, I mean, quote unquote, met, but this is the first time we have met.

You said it. And can you believe we didn't even touch on that damn Mike Pence? And you know, he doesn't deserve it. We didn't touch on Ms. Reese Witherspoon, and she does deserve it. Yes, absolutely. She does deserve it.

Mike Pence is just an asshole. He's just so fucking dumb. He's just dumb. Does it feel good to be able to just say he's so fucking dumb now and not be like, yes, I guess I would be open

to a conversation with the president? Yeah, it feels so good. It does feel so good. I mean, it feels so good not to like have Meghan McCain tell you that

you should be doing something different and not to get fucking heckled by the fucking Trump family. Fuck you. How do they, How does he not have how has he not been infected? I don't understand. He's like touching everything. He's around

everyone. He is not careful. It's just one of those cruel twists of fate where of course that person who is defiant and encouraging defiance is not going to reap any. He is Teflon. It is so annoying to watch. But the thing about reese witherspoon i just want to say is she is first and foremost not an academy award winner first

and foremost not even a mother not even a wife not even a producer she's first and foremost a quibby girl a quibby girl and she has a show fierce queens where you can watch Reese Witherspoon narrate an ant colony and how the women rip the men to shreds. My favorite part of those episodes are when she does the whole narration and it's beautiful. And then she goes back and they're like, and she, the ant then is queen again. And then they go back to studio. She goes, wow, that's crazy. Yeah, she is. I love the way she enters it studio she goes wow that's crazy yeah she is i love the way she enters it she goes hey hey you guys so today we're gonna literally watch an amazing video she she is so like i love her like she was doing a live uh like the day of the quibi launch she was
