Now, what is this kind of inflection you've put on it, special guest Joshua D. Sharp? It was my first time saying it out loud. I wanted to really make a choice. You love saying Las Culturistas. Yes. I sort of put it up in the register. Go ahead. I placed it in my mask. Can you try it? Ding dong. Las Culturistas. Yes. I sort of put it up in the register. Go ahead. I placed it in my mask.

Can you try it? Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling. You hear it in the mask? I hear it in the mask. That's a safe way to do it. I'm trained, but only recently. Really?

Recent training? Well, because of your polyp. Because when I had my polyp, I had to go see a vocal therapist. Now, Culturistas, you might not know about this, but Josh Sharp had to have a vocal polyp removed from years of abuse. It's true. It's really true. Years of abuse.

That'll get you in the shop. That'll get you in the shop. It'll get you in the shop. The throat shop. They'll slide under the undercarriage and say, don't look good. She's running, but it don't look good. So how are things now with the voice? Perfect.

As they say in some other country. I went into my doctor, a lovely man, last name's Saduki. Can I say, love a male doctor? Yeah, thank you. Jesus Christ. Can we get more male doctors? I mean, Jesus Christ. Especially in this city. It's actually rule of culture number seven. Can we get more male doctors? I mean, Jesus Christ. Especially in this city.

It's actually rule of culture number seven. Can we get more male doctors? I mean, Jesus Christ. He told me he looked down, shoved the camera down my throat as they do, and he said everything looked perfect. Okay. They go up the nose and down the throat with the little camera. I love that descriptive word.

Perfect. Perfect, he said. And when I was there three months ago, he said, don't worry because I had to have a surgery. Yeah, of course. He was like, the little camera. I love that descriptive word, perfect. Perfect, he said. And when I was there three months ago, he said, don't worry, because I had to have a surgery. He was like, the surgery worked, that looks good, but you still have some inflammation. So come back in three months. That's never what you want to hear. Today he said, perfect. And by today, I mean last week.

That's great. So the last time I saw you were releasing your wiggles at the Big Freedia concert. That's true. Rogers and I went to see the Queen Diva the Dickie to herself Miss Big Fre, on Saturday. And it was really fun. She came on at, what, 2.30 in the morning? Yeah.

It was a very late program. It was fucking late. And- They had a hard out at 4 a.m. Yeah, but she- So she has to hit the stage at 2.30. She did a hard 45 minutes. She did a hard-

I've never seen dancing like this. A woman got on her hands- Yes. On a raised platform, put her legs up in the air to God herself. She climbed atop an emergency exit and twerked. Truly where people in the place

stashed their coats up there, slid some out of the way. Could have been killed. Hands on the floor, feet on the wall, twerked. Could have been killed. Every homosexual was screaming until they had a polyp.

You know, a friend of our guest Mary Sasson texted me saying when she saw Frida in LA that same dancer hung from the balcony and twerked

that same one I wish I had gotten her name so I could follow her on Instagram I love to do that whenever I go to a show and I like one of the performers I'll promptly follow them

on Instagram me too I always read a playbill and if they link on Instagram I find them the chorus boys particularly the ones who are so excited.

Oh, the cute chorus boys. I love them. They're so cute. Because you stand the best chance with them. So talented. Because they usually have 1,000 followers or something. They're going to notice. Right. You know, one time I saw- Michael Urie's not going to notice when I follow him. Friend of the show and he might notice. I understand. Well, maybe.

You know, Finian's Rainbow was a show that I saw one time and one of the chorus boys that I thought was making eyes at me all throughout the evening i was probably wrong and that was before instagram you can fucking imagine that i fully i love when you like buy theater like when you fully fall for it oh yeah when you buy into the illusion first time i saw hamilton first time i saw hamilton at the public pre-broadway slay ho philip asu says you know the orphanage single tear. Oh I love that part. Single tear rolls down her face. Oh shit. Afterwards Michael Caine was there. We see each other in the lobby. We're like Philippa was really feeling it tonight. Michael Cruz Caine. Michael Cruz Caine. Hello. Okay.

Hot daddy. We were like Philippa was really in it tonight don't you think? And then had to talk for five minutes and realized she was acting. But fully we're like wow Philippa. But you had to remind yourself. She was overcome. And can I say something about needing to remind yourself that it's acting? Oh boy, our guest. Let me tell you, straight from an interview with Backstage Magazine, we have our guest.

Lest you need reminding that she's an actor. Oh, an actor. Backstage. Let me say something about this guest. And this is actually the real truth. Have you seen the other two season one yet? I've seen two thirds of it. Okay.

It's really good. It's really good. And you know, and you know i was actually it doesn't fall off at the end i haven't seen the last three apps but right now really good i can tell you right now from my mouth to your ears and god's who's always here always that it's the orphanage the orphanage i put a little extra on the end i always do you know it's really good even in the end. I can't wait. Even? So many times shows that aren't good in the end. Wink wink. I don't know why I did that, but it's good all the way through. I can't wait to finish. And I was so moved by the show that I

picked up my goddamn phone and I texted our guest and I said, this was really good. I'm awaiting doing that. I hope you aren't offended that I'm waiting till the end to text you. Yeah, no, I was a little bit like, where's the love on Soch? Where's the love on Soch? I'm actually waiting for the big premiere,

as they call it in the industry, the big premiere. The big premiere is coming. The big premiere on January the 24th, which by this time of episode's release, it will already be out and all of our listeners will already be absuced with the show. They will be absuced, hopefully. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. And I just want to say who this is.

You've seen him on bajillion dollar properties. You've seen him on the stage of the UCB where he is an icon. You've seen him on backstage and Howard Stern. You've seen him in the pages of backstage. In the same day. He is vast. He contains multitudes. And his name is.

Say it with me, bitch. Drew Tarver. Hello. Thank you. Welcome to loss. As you called it yesterday. He texted me and said, Drew Tarver. Hello. Thank you. Welcome to loss, as you called it yesterday. He texted me and said excited for loss, and I said yes. You know why? I thought I was maybe going to misspell the other word.

I'm pretty stupid. Can I tell you something? It's part of your church. Try to say it right now. Culturistas. There you go, bitch. I did it. I could have sounded it out and done it, but I wanted to be hip and cool.

I was excited for loss. Listen, I think that's really good. Of course, today, what's very cool is a briefs. a briefs we call it lost culture you know what i think is good that you just did owning your ignorance saying i'm stupid 100 you know who you know who's an idiot who keeps trying to say this who he always says las costas las costa ricas trick tell me my own father your own daddy no is las costa ricas going on tour and i'm like see now you're making it sound like the appropriation it often gets accused for being costa ricas like costa ricas like not just one of that island several yeah if you were to multiply them i'm on a sketch

group called big grande yes and i'm a little worried i don't think it's okay no i think you're stuck to it i'm like is this okay see i think big grande is perfectly fine because the comedy of it is the word big and grande they mean the same and that's the comedy of that classic comedy of the translation is big big big big or for our hispanic listeners grande grande grande grande yeah um grande grande it had nothing to do with ariana grande that name no that might be offensive because she had nothing to do with Ariana Grande, that name? No. That might be offensive. Nothing to do with Big Sean? No, because for a while, their couple name was Big Grande.

Wow. And we were excited about that because we had the name, of course, first. Of course. But they stole it. Sketch teams, copyright, first thing before you have a rehearsal. Absolutely. Trademark. Yeah. We almost sell out every time.

We were excited to use that in some promotional stuff. Like, come see the real Big Grande. We thought it was fun. You know what also could have been really fun

and I find with sketch groups often the fun part is putting the poster together. Oh. You gotta love putting the poster together for your show. Yeah,

because sometimes we'll take a serious photo of us. Oh, yeah. And we'll be like, we're artists. Right, of course. And then, of course, it's actually a big rule of culture. I'm going to say it and then we'll repeat it.

Yeah, of course. When you do comedy, you have to look hot in pictures. It's actually a big rule now in 2019. So is that big rule one? Is this your first big rule? Is this big rule one? This is the first big rule of culture. I'm just pleased to be here. Which means we have to start a new list. It's big rule this is the first big rule of culture i'm just pleased to be here to start a

new list it's it's rule number it's it's big rule number one of culture and when you're a comedian in 2019 you have to look hot and everyone here is a hot comedian yeah i just looked around it was it's true and you saw only hot i totally agree and i saw only comedy both people right of course both people at this table when i first met them I nudged a friend and said, what's their deal? Dang. I did for each one of you. Yeah. On what occasion meeting?

Like for a second, third- I nudged Bo and Yang and said, what's your deal? I nudged Brandon Scott Jones and said, what's your deal? The night we- And found out promptly what your deals were. The night we made out at the club and I sort of felt your dick through your jeans. You felt my dick through my jeans after we made out. What number meeting was that?

One, two, three. Second. And that was dick through my jeans after we made out. What number meeting was that? One, two, three? Second. And that was even only two nights after we had first met. Yeah. And I got pulled into your NYU gaze. I couldn't believe that you showed up at that event. And I was like, I think this guy seriously wants to feel my dick through my jeans. And he did.

He did. She was right. We never got there. No. But you know what? The future holds many possibilities. I'm feeling your ankle right now through your jeans. Absolutely. And how is it? It's good. Well, you know know it's a little swollen it is and so is your day i was gonna say your ankle is girthy and it's veiny again all describes the dick

as well but actually this is a real story i was leaving uh i was leaving um a bar show the other night and i turned my fucking ankle coming out of the... I walked out of that door and I actually... It was one of those things where I was like, see you guys later. Turn around. Cush. Don't say it's not brave what we do. Don't say we don't put our lives on the line. I put my life on the line to do five to seven minutes and then I promptly almost killed myself. Were you making a big

exit and biffed it? You were kind of... It was one of those things where you kind of slay a joke on the way out. Wrap the scarf and then turn the ankle. Wrap the scarf and then turn the ankle wrap the scarf and turn the ankle a front runner for title of that meg pope write that down all right so she's working hard she's busily working writing on her pencil and just put it down she got it great she writes fast she's a oh the pencil was down so quick hpm very good at what she does congrats yeah what is all that stuff she was writing i i have a feeling

what is it that you wrote can you say it out loud can you do courtroom shorthand yeah that's right she got it right she got it so listen um you're not in new york very much i'm assuming you got a packed schedule you know being a star now and everything isn't that so schedule Schedule is packed. Got to meet mom for margaritas right after this. Now, where is mom? Mom is in town. I'm assuming you said this before we started recording.

I'm assuming she's at Chevy's. Chevy's Times Square. Not Chevy Chase's restaurant. Yeah. Chevy's Times Square, probably drinking a margarita. And she is religious. Well, we grew up Christian. Okay. Religious.

Yeah, she's religious-ish. That's what I, religious-ish. You're from Georgia? Georgia, yeah. North Carolina. Rural, like, honey boo boo Georgia. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're rural Christians, you and I. Yes, we are. We're the rural Christians of comedy. Yes, we are. Yeah, that was our show that quickly got canceled. Oh, yeah. I want to see that, our, uh, show that quickly got canceled. Yeah. I want to see that though. Bad.

We said some terrible things. Yeah, it was, it was bad to not only Christianity, but every religion, as you can imagine, the POV is limited. Yeah.

Of course. Um, but we all know the one religion that's, you know, responsible for everything. It's bad in the world. Zoran, Astrianism.

Anyway. Okay. So, um, your mom, my mom, she recently started kind of loosening up Okay, well her kid's a star

Her work is done She finished, so she's like Maybe God isn't real My son defied the odds Yeah, my son is doing this, oh God doesn't exist, I'm gonna drink So she'll But she's never drank So she'll occasionally, but she's never drank. So she'll just slam two margaritas.

Yeah. And this is at least when I go back home and she'll just, she'll start like sort of powering down and then just kind of be like, whew, I need to go take a nap in the truck. And she will, we will have one in the truck. She'll sleep. Does she have a bed? Well, you're usually, I mean, where I'm from, there's always one truck with you at all times. It's either my dad's truck or my brother's truck.

There's a truck near you. And it's often closer than your bedroom. Yes. So it's like, do you want to nap? You have to drive 20 miles to get to any restaurant, 40 miles to get to a movie theater. So we'll go there. We're going to have dinner. Then we're going to go to a movie.

And usually, mom is asleep in the truck. In Georgia, can you buy liquor on Sundays? No. North Carolina, you cannot. Illegal. I'd have to sell liquor on Sundays. In America today. I also live in a dry county, so there's no.

You have to go a county over. It makes you go 20 miles to Smitty's. You have to go 20 miles to Smitty's just to get liquor. And that really promotes, well, it shouldn't, but it promotes drinking. Drinking, yeah. I mean, absolutely. Big time. I mean, Smitty's, don't go anywhere near Smitty's after 11 p.m.

Somebody's going to run you over. Growing up, my county didn't have a movie theater, so we were sort of cinematically dry. We had to drive over to go to the movies. Yeah, me too. And I saw nothing and I'm still, my reference base is paying for it. This is crazy because my only concept of growing up is that everyone around you is an alcoholic and being from Long Island

where I'm from, so it's just like the functional alcohol, well functional in quotes, alcoholism is just rampant. I think we could use like one week a year where the government says like okay guys like slow down like this is your dry week yeah long island's dry long island's driest week actually oh man no it's too much i go back home and i'm like i had been in new york for a while and then i went back home and i was like oh wow actually i brought my boy i brought henry

back for the very first time and he was was like, we've drank with every meal. Even for breakfast, there was Bloody Marys on the table. I'm like, yeah, my dad likes to make Bloody Marys. What? He was like, it's just crazy to me how much we're drinking here. And I was like, oh. And he's from Michigan, and the family is also dry. So this is a thing around America that I just can't even fathom.

It's very weird. And I grew up thinking that that's how everything was. I mean, we would drive to Florida on Sundays, like an hour and 20 minutes away if we ran out of natural lights. Be like, who's going to Florida today? Because I also grew up around rivers, like trashy river culture.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Y'all go tubing? I love tubing. Oh, tubing is fun. Also a lot of kneeboarding of you ran a tube you ran kneeboarding which is like not a town not anything i used to skimboard too you remember yeah you throw it you jump on it and ride for half a second yeah and then eat it and then eat it yeah it was that was my thing skimboarding was fun you guys could get up doing that i tried

water skiing twice and I couldn't get up and my fucking mom got around twice on the lake. I'm an excellent water skier. I can slalom. I can do tricks. People don't know. My family has a little lake place so I learned and we actually would go visit one of my dad's friends all growing up and I learned to ski as a child, as a baby.

They have these little kiddie skis where they're roped together so your legs don't spread. So I learned as a four-old how to water ski. Yeah, you can do anything if you start as a kid. Truly. And now I'm excellent at it. It's like a skill that I won't lose, you know? Okay, how about this?

Just for a topic of discussion. Oceans or lakes? What's better? We're going to talk about it on Las Culturistas. We're going to. I don't love stagnation. I agree with you. I prefer, I don't't, I like fresh water.

Mm-hmm. But I don't prefer salt water to fresh water. See, I do. You do. I prefer the salt water. I love to just drink a little bit on accident. I think it's a thrill. It is a little bit of a thrill.

I get that. Yeah, but I prefer oceans. Okay, I prefer oceans too. And Josh? I'm a lake witch. You are. I was always an ocean gal, but now, because my family has. Okay, I prefer oceans too. And Josh? I'm a lake witch. You are. I was always an ocean gal, but now because my family has this place, it's become like my favorite place in the world.

The only thing it lacks is my favorite beach activity, a long beach walk. So you can't go on a long beach walk, get hot, then want to jump in the ocean. That's my favorite. Yeah, you're just going to like stumble. You lay out on the dock, you play games, you do whatever. You can walk around the neighborhood, but it's not the same. But I also like the attachment to the gravitational pull of the moon and seeing the tides, you know, so you really feel small.

I love that. That was really beautiful the way you said that. That was really beautiful and stunning. What a very cool way to describe, you know, gravity. Yeah, I'm like, I like to drink the salt water. And he's like, I love the tides. The gravitational pull. That's why he's a star, Josh.

That's why he books the gig. My God. He's talking about the goddamn tides. Not real. Yeah. All right. Well, can I ask you a question? Because we briefly touched on, you mentioned your childhood.

And you know on Lost Culture East, that's one of the things that we do is a question that we ask. Am I right, Meg? And me. I always host, as you know, on Lost Culture East. We always ask this question. These are the two. And we should just acknowledge that Bowen Yang is not here tonight because he passed away about 20 minutes ago. Yeah.

So. But you. He. He wasn't going to be here yesterday. Can we have a moment of silence? So he knew he was going to go out. Oh, we don't have time. He knew he was going to go out.

Never mind. We don't have time. No, here's the thing. No time for a moment of silence. No time for a moment of silence. We actually have a very tightly scheduled. Drew has a hard out. He has a hard out at 615.

And a hard on. And a hard on. At 730. Girthy and veiny. But we should say Bowen Yang. And a hard on. And a hard on. At 7.30. Girthy and veiny. But we should say, Bo Nyang, God rest in peace. But what we ask is, what was the culture that made you say, culture is for me? So this is like defining pop culture in your life, growing up as Georgia Barn Trash. Right.

Yes, that's actually kind. A big turning point for me, and this is going to be gross, but a big turning point for me was seeing the movie Scary Movie 2. Okay. Okay. No, I get it. That movie is very funny. I had never seen real comedy. I didn't even see one.

I went with my cousin. Did you understand it? No, I hadn't even see one I went with my cousin did you understand it? no I hadn't even seen the stuff the source material was based on I hadn't seen hardly any of the

but I was like this is funny yeah this is funny 100% and the gags were great the gags were great

it's fully naked gun at times I haven't seen it since it came out oh yeah it's I mean it's i mean it's it's very good when do they turn bad the scary movie franchise i don't think they ever

got bad really i think four is not good yeah i mean i say which is not the same i was out after two i have to tell you something i disagree with you strongly i feel that three is very good really do you remember in scary movie three regina hall who is my queen unbelievable unbelievable my queen i i maybe she's a she's like someone i would love to have on the show i just look her dead in the eyes and tell her that i think she's the queen the scene in scary movie three yeah when simon rex and yes i do know his name yeah he's a former gay porn star as well oh yeah that's right he jacked off on cam that's right he did what was his porn name simon rex i think it was simon rex so movie three jack off look it up um you can find it what an imdb um so basically he leaves a room and it's like a classroom and

a bunch of crayons at the door and regina hall just goes no the fuck did that and then it cuts to the next scene yes yeah yeah it's good it's a random it's a random little moment yeah it's very very blackout and then i started like yeah it is it and then i started sort of like being like oh that's from i would i would reference the jokes and be like you know that's from a thing and then i started sort of sorry seeing parody i see so you didn't know that was a parody i didn't i i that's how dumb i am was uh can i ask you a question yeah so that was what you had to be what 13 14 when you saw it yeah i think around then i wasn't allowed to see any my parents would go to this thing called screen it.com that counts yes our words yes the s words. You know the one.

I meant to say F words, but same thing. R-rated words. It would rate the movies. My parents did too. There also was a Christian version of it too that I forget what it was called. It would talk about if they were also just blasphemous things. Oh yeah, like anything. My mom was like, we ain't trick-or-treating.

That's the devil's knot and we ain't doing it. No. Yes. So no Harry Potter for you. Nothing. That was all blasphemous. And it's really crazy because she was like, we don't play around with that because it will get a hold of you.

Wow, okay. If you bring yourself to it, it will come. The real belief in the darkness. Yeah, so it made it even scarier. It made Halloween even scarier because it was just. It's vampire rules. Invite them in. Oh, this is real and you shouldn't mess around with it.

Right. So I didn't see anything really. But screen it was fun because it would literally like catalog everything. It would, and it would be really descriptive as far as the sex stuff. It would be like, you know, like feels a breast, like you see half a tit. Yeah. There's maybe, there's a suggested uh hook up here like even really like pulls like they grazed shoulders and they looked at each other

we get this a d think about the reviewers for that like yeah that person's furiously sketching notes of like every like you have to have some sort of grid layout on paper where you can just tally mark yeah and you also have to be an, and you also have to be a little bit creepy yourself reading into everything. Yeah, absolutely. The bulge was huge. It was a big bulge. You would look for the bad thing. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.

He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. everywhere. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.

His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And so, OK, so fast forward to now, here you are being a real heathen on television. Yes. So are they supportive?

Yeah, they've always been, they think I'm funny. Right. But I also kind of play into, like I'll do church jokes for my mom. Oh, sure. Because my first real experience with comedy was funny pastors and christian comedians i love a funny pastor i love it because the the they the moments the timing is so well because it's constant you can bring it down and then joke out and bring it down and joke out because you're being serious so

i was obsessed with, there was a guy named Mark Lowry who was a Christian comedian who would be like, I went in there when they're too many, uh, when they're too many animals in the, in the manger, can we get a few of the animals out of there?

It's just like two of each. Do we need four horses, but not one spider. Exactly. It's stuff like that, that I still think is very funny. I do think that's funny. Oh, my God.

Because what if you don't want all those horses? Yeah. I don't want any spiders. Could we have gotten rid of cockroaches before? It really should be based on weight and utility. Yeah. Okay, cool. I'm into this now.

I'm leaving it all behind and going back to that. Yeah. I mean, you have a reference base that you can just kill. Like any Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego burning joke, you could just nail at any moment. It's the most localized version of observational comedy. You're like, I have a room where I know you know

this one set of stats that I can do. And if I know the stats, you inherently think I'm good because I know the bible and also coming from a position of authority it's just like especially in that atmosphere it's like we respect this person yeah and so even even in your mind if you think this is not that funny that's not what you're expressing out no drew did you listen to contemporary christian music too because i was deep into that before i listened to secular music. Who are your bands? Mine were Newsboys, DC Talk, Audio Adrenaline, PFR,

Jars of Clay. We even knew about that. Jars of Clay got out. I'm facing away from you now. Just turn away from me because it will suck you in. By it, I mean me. You will catch it. You feel like Halloween to me.

One of my friends now dates a woman who was previously married to one of the people in Jars of Clay. Whoa. And the first time I met her, it was very hard not to be very strangely starstruck. Like, I had all these Jars of Clay questions. And what was her view on divorce? I think she sort of fell out of the church, and then I think they got married young.

That's not my story to tell. My view is fine. I'm fine on divorce, but I wonder what... Because any time sort of christian artist would go through something like that yeah it's the end of your career it would be the end of your career but also some of the most powerful moments because they're losing everyone right so you can go and say like you know i've really reckoned i've learned yeah and it must make you question it as well like you know what i mean like this aspirational person is going through it it's like

what maybe something else no no no no yeah yeah it's it's it's strange but yeah i was in talk do you know about carmen yes carmen oh yes the messiah 316 yes that like mission 316 it was a james bond themed um album that this man named carmen did and it like had it had as like i, I liked that theme, James Bond theme song. So in my head, I would go, I went to Carmen's concerts, and I was sat in the balcony, and my mom still tells this story to this day because she was so proud of me because usually at the end of these concerts,

they're like, all right, we're going to do a prayer, and if you want to bring some money down, come get saved. And I, from the balcony, asked my mom for $20 and took it all the way down to the stage. And she was like, oh my gosh, he's a Christian. You've proven yourself. Yeah, but I remember. I got saved so many times. I got saved three times for the power team.

Did you have the power team down there? Oh, yeah. These big buff guys who would rip phone out and beat through bricks and stuff yeah and then they'd be like come up if you want to be saved yeah they would like jesus helped us lift all those weights and he can too oh my god i actually realized this recently i was home i'm fucking freaking out i was home for the holidays at greek orthodox church no but we had a lot of greek no i was home for the holidays we were watching an old thing because when i was like nine or 10, I would make fake James Bond movies and cast my three-year-old brother in them. And there's one where I'm doing the title credits

and I'm just like filming pieces of paper I wrote on on the floor. And the music playing is Carmen's version of, not even the real James Bond, because that was like what I had at the time. Whoa. Was that. That's like when I'm playing on a CD player while I film a piece of paper that says starring my brother as. It made me feel really cool. I would listen to that tape and just roll around on the floor and pretend I was holding a gun and be like, yeah, Jesus, also the bad guys. Oh, wow. You would have loved the power team.

You would have loved the power team. I'm sure I would have loved. But you're describing them. Sounds like I would have just loved the guys. The buffest guys you ever saw and sensitive. Fainty, girthy ankles. Yeah, I love that. That's what I look for first.

First time I meet a guy, I'm checking out the ankles. I'm seeing, are they broken? Like mine? Because I need someone to carry me around. My ankles are broken. I just crushed it at a comedy show, leaving the room. Anyway, listen. But yeah, my parents are, they think I'm funny, but sometimes they're like, that's just not for us.

Do they watch this show? They haven't seen this show yet. They are going to watch it. Because that's your first big, big, big thing. Yeah, yeah. But I think they will. I mean, even when we're watching a movie and there's a sex scene, they're like, all right, that's enough. And they'll like fast forward it.

And I'm very on them now about like, we need to see these things. Yeah, okay. Everyone in the room masturbates right now. Yeah, I go like too far. Yeah, you're like. I'm like, I'm tired of this shame. Watch, look at my butthole, you know? Like I'm way too far on the other side.

I get it. I've lost my mind and they're like, he's out of his mind. But I remember the first time I showed my dad. Porn. I'm porn. Yeah, I sat him down time I showed my dad. Porn. Porn. Yeah, I sat him down.

Dad, check out Simon Rex. Yeah, he's in this movie. He jerks off here. You see his butthole too. You do. It's great movie three? No. In the porn that he does.

I know all the culturistas fans, they're furiously Googling right now to find Simon Rex butthole porn. You can find it. But the first time I, there was a Talladega Nights, the DVD commentary. Okay. It's kind of the first time I ever sort of heard improv, long form improv. Right. They were doing a monos this is disgusting insidery

a monoscene from 50 years in the future where they were commenting on the filming of the movie so they had all changed and that was their

commentary that was their commentary like McKay was living in a speedboat like his career was ruined McBrayer weighed

like 800 pounds and was eating fish out of a bucket it was so funny I was like what is this this is like funny lines what is this this is like funny line what is this and i and i would listen to it over and over again and then i let my dad

hear it we were on a family vacation i was like dad you got to hear this i was so happy and i played it for him and he was like what is this crap who are these subversives? As a noun. He did not. I love it. He didn't get it. He hated it. He's like, I like stand up. Why are they lying?

Oh, see, that's a thing I never even think about. Yeah. They think it's betrayal. He would have been so mad when Phillipa Sue cried. I know she doesn't mean it.

Why is she lying? So he, I knew at that moment, oh, oh we're gonna just like different things yeah yeah yeah yeah so that's okay do they ever come to see improv shows or they're not really making it out to la yes but when i got on another gross insidery thing on herald night oh listen we if you're talking if you're thinking we're not gross and insidery here on Las Coturistas, honey. Okay, good. They know I've been on Maud. They know I've been on The Character's Welcome.

Sorry, HBM is saying you're not peaking enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She wants it louder. What, Meg? Anyway, go on. You made it onto Harold Night. No, it was big for me. I tried like four years in a row.

Big run day. Like trying so hard. I was obsessed with it. Finally got on a couple. In L.A.? In L.A., yeah. I had done a couple shows and then my parents were going to come. And so we're in the second group of the night,

or we are the second group of the night. So I know my parents are out there. I'm super nervous. I go out there. I perform. I come back in. And the team who had gone before me was like, hey, your dad was just back here in the green room. And I was like, oh, during my set. And they were like, yeah.

So apparently my dad had in the middle of the show, gotten up, walked not towards the exit backstage this is used to be franklin through that curtain yeah into the green room yeah rummaging through the coolers gotten himself a coke somebody said sir can i help you and then somebody was like oh no i know that's drew's dad and they're like you know drew's on stage and like, yeah, it just got too nasty for me. I love that. So he had excused himself. Was he right? Had it gotten nasty?

Absolutely. I'm sure it was nasty and not funny. Do you remember what it was that triggered him? No, no. I mean, it could have been. The first time I took my parents, like, first semester of college, I just started improv. We were in L.A. I was like like we have to

go see ASCAP it's the thing the whole first like run off the monologue is a long run on the idea comedic idea of wound fucking

that you shoot someone with a gun and fuck their wound that's what happens when you just let young people get on stage and do whatever they want

yeah well I mean that is nasty that is nasty that might even be too nasty for me hello I'm hugging the back wall just shaking my head there's wound fucking Well, I mean, that is nasty. That is nasty. That might even be too nasty for me. Hello? I'm hugging the back wall, just shaking my head. There's wound fucking in any set I'm involved in.

Yeah, you're very judgmental. Oh, incredibly so. On the back line. Me on the back line? No, me on the back line is more terrified. Really? I never, I was never. You're so funny.

Bitch. I feel funny in terms like my life and doing sketch but in terms of improv i never felt good about it i think i started it too young okay i started doing it i was 19 oh yeah yeah really and you're college you were really but i never thought i was like one of the greats but i don't think i'm built for it i think i was good at it but there's people who you're like oh you are made to do this and I never felt like it was that. I always felt like I could do pretty well. You do.

Something happens when you do improv. You're very focused. Yeah. Yeah, because it's hard. It's like sort of work to me. It is hard. It can be really hard. Yeah, well, I mean,

it looks fun though when you're doing it. Yeah, it can be fun. It's more fun now that I don't care. Right, yeah. That's what it is. It's so hard to like, oh, you can't be funny until you don't care, and you can't not care until you've been funny for a long time.

It's a weird thing. It's so hard. I honestly think if I started to do it now, just my sheer comfort with myself would allow me to be more free on stage, like it does with anything else, like hosting something. I also never have hosted anything when I was 19. I've been fucking terrified. But it's got to be a majority

just comfort and allowing yourself to, I'm going to say it, don't think. Oh my god, he said the motto. I said the thing. I can't believe that. Were you ever in New York for an extended period? I was. I lived here from 2005

to 2008. Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Pre-comedy, right? Pre-comedy. Like you weren't even doing UCB? I found out about UCB, yeah, like right as I was about to go to LA.

And I, I mean, it's a long story. My sister is talented, one of the family. Okay, pause. Yes. I know you from way back. Really? Because I watched American Juniors, bitch. Yes. I know you from way back. Really? Because I watched American Juniors, bitch. You did not.

I watched American Juniors, and I may have even cast a vote for Miss Caitlin Tarver. You did not. I may have. You were in it as well? I don't know. Well, Drew was in the show, but I, of course, didn't clock him then. I was much more focused on Miss Caitlin. Of course, Miss Caitlin Tarver. But there was also another one. I mean, you can never forget't clock him then. I was much more focused on Miss Caitlyn. Of course, Miss Caitlyn Tarver.

But there was also another one. I mean, you can never forget Chauncey. Yes. Chauncey was unbelievable. He sang Moon River and he threw the glitter. Oh, my God. Wait, what? What is American Junior stuff?

Because I never saw it. I just heard you. I just know it exists. This is so insane. Okay, explain this. My little sisters were the talented ones of the family. All right? They sang, danced, and I had no talent, so I would just sneak my way into their bits.

I'd be like, oh, you guys singing Brother for Sale at the pageant? I'm going to be the brother. I'll be the brother for sale. Yeah. Oh, you guys are doing a thing at church? Can I be one of the wise men? You know, I'll be a funny wise man. Yeah.

Whatever. So they started singing. They were like singing in pageants and going around doing the Sweet Onion Festival. They would do a tap number. You know, it was, they were great. Sweet Onion's big. Yeah. My sister Kayla.

If you can make Vidalia, that's good. But Sweet Onion, that's the top tier festival of the Onion Festival. This was Vidalia's Sweet Onion Festival. Wow. Y'all are making me say y'all. I know y'all. So she, and my other sister Amandaanda was also she was like five years old and was singing and remembering full routines yeah okay anyway they auditioned both of them

auditioned the year after american idol for a spinoff called american juniors that uh seacrest hosted yep yes he did miss gladys knight was the judge. Miss Gladys Knight. How many seasons of it were there? One. Just one? One, just one. Yeah, they only did it one time. I think we ran them out of business. They're like, even Seacrest can't deal with the Tarvers.

You can't hack it. Tarvers ran through the Coca-Cola budget. Dad always going in back, reaching around. Where's the fountain soda machine? Our song just got too nasty for me. Too nasty. So they audition. So they audition.

One of my sisters gets on the show. They fly the whole family to LA because it was too mean to vote kids off of a show. So each week they would vote a kid onto a five-person group to be managed by Simon Cowell. So this was big. We had basically never been out of Georgia.

We're in LA. I immediately go to Melrose. I buy a Von Dutch hat and a white belt and i heck yeah i was like get me inside of a guess i'll take everything that's on that weird uh model like did you have bleach blonde hair oh yes the most peroxided bowl cut oh man like hard little aaron carter i'm picturing you well crazy you mentioned him. I met him at the hotel room when I was living in L.A. that summer. At the hotel room? I'm sorry, at the hotel room.

Uh-oh. What is the context? That's how it began. Yeah, because you know she goes both ways now, don't she? Guru. Yeah, so she was on the show for 10 weeks, and we would sit on the side of the stage, the whole family. Was this in the summer?

This was in the summer, yeah. Your parents stopped working? Yeah. They just had to. Well, my dad would go back and forth. My dad runs a candy factory in Georgia, another insane center. This is fucking great. My dad took a break from the candy factory.

Fucking I Love Lucy, like coming down, wrapping them? Yes. Fucking I Love Lucy, like, coming down, wrapping them? Yes, yeah. Just like I Love Lucy coming down, wrapping them. Oh, boy. And so they would, like, throw to us, like, Caitlin, she sang Ain't No Mountain High Enough. What do you think, Tarvers? And we'd be like, whoa, she is a star.

You know? And eventually, it felt like week after i was always made sure i was up there i was like i got to be up there i just feel like i'm part of this yeah yeah and i feel sikos would throw to us and i'd be like i would be like hey you know keratop was at the hotel last night you know i would talk you're saying this on air yeah whether he would throw to us and they'd be like yeah just banter and we'll cut out you know we'll get some stuff but i didn't know so we would just talk. We would like talk.

And they eventually started taking our microphones away. Like by the end of it, like my mom and my little brother were the only ones who had a microphone because they would just be like, we like her. They were the only ones who could be trusted not to be like, I had a case of death this morning. Exactly. I never had such a thing. Look at my Hollister shirt. It's new. You know, like that shit.

Kept the tags on just in case. Yeah, I am returning it right after the show. So she got on? She did not get on. No. But we were out there for eight weeks just like, you know, hanging out in Hollywood. And they sent us to Vegas as a consolation prize. Oh, really? then yeah and then she

she like uh but from there um we went back they shipped us back to Georgia I went to my senior year of high school took my Von Dutch hat off white belt you know threw it in the closet I was like that's that's it for that lifestyle that was the look for that era yeah i can't do that anymore i guess let me move on to a football shirt from hollister wow and uh you just did a 90 degree turn at hollister and you said this is yeah yeah i'm over this corner yeah more coral polos of course puka shell necklace oh yeah puka shell for sure i was also a puka shell kind of guy oh yeah yeah because puka hemp yes american eagle hollister is what i rock i was more american eagle yeah and i sort of just looked like a youth pastor hey all it's bow and i want to do a quick q1 check-in with everybody we all doing well with our resolutions do we even have them well if you

Like, what did you do? What were your extracurriculars? Well, I, yeah, who? That's a great honestly question. I've been sort of trying to, who, who am, who was I? Where have I been? Who was I? Where have I been?

Who am I? Wow. Truthfully. A lot of that. And I mean, I remember being, I was disgustingly enough class clown. I know that's a gross sort of thing. But yeah, i just remember being goofy and there wasn't really were you a social drifter because that's what i was yeah i

was like funny so that i could like sort of you know fit in with everyone but not have anyone actually know that yeah i didn't like i played basketball for a little while but i didn't i quit that and then i played golf for a bit because you could get out every Monday all day for the last nine weeks of school but I remember I just kind of but I also graduated with 17 kids in my grade so it was that's fucking crazy

insane there were chickens in the teaching the classes well my chicken yeah yeah the chicken who taught me Spanish was actually very good. Your accent's perfect. I heard it earlier when you said grande. It was very good. But yeah, it is. So it was just so rural. I can't even say the word rural. Yeah. That's how country it was.

So then that's, that's when you went to New York. Yeah. So my sister, I was, I went to college for a semester. If you're not smart enough to get into UGA, which is not smart. Wait, was that the time of the Hope Scholarship? Yes. Oh, yeah. They were giving it away to everybody. You could get free tuition if you had a book.

If you got a 3.0 or something. Yeah, like not even. Yeah, you could like 80. Everybody in the state goes for free. Yeah. So I took advantage of that, went to a school right next to UGA where you can transfer in if you get your grades up or whatever. Which one? It's called Gainesville State.

Cool. My dad went to UGA. Oh, shit. Go Dawgs. Go Dawgs. That was them, the Dawgs? The Dawgs, yeah. Cool, great.

D-A-W-G, I think. Specific choice. Sick'em Dawgs. Sick'em Dawgs. Yeah. But at that point, my sister had gotten a record deal in long island like a city of dreams yeah it was a really weird like wait we're going to new york but we're recording i wish i had been there to just be like guys no no don't don't go yeah she was

with a little label in long island and they came up here to record like some pop techno album with her. And I was like, get me my Von Dutch hat. Get me my white belt. I'm going to New York. So I came up here with them and they stayed for three months and I met enough people cater waitering and stuff to kind of like couch surf. And that's how I hung on. 22 22 like after college or in the middle no this was when i was 18 19 yeah yeah so you said forget the college i'm staying yeah i said forget it with the goal of i didn't know you didn't i knew i wanted to be an actor but i was like oh yeah i i want to be funny so you just got to be a good actor first so i started going to acting classes in the acting class that and teachers were like you're bad you're bad at this and i was like well that's why

i'm it's a class i want to get better and they're like i don't know if this is for you just can you imagine that you're bad at calculus yeah you have to leave yeah yeah i think it was a way to break me down to make me better like because it was a serious class. And I think they were looking to break me down. And build me up. But they were just breaking. I was not coming back together after the breakdown. I was just kind of like. It's pretty weird the way that they think.

Things are going to help people. I mean I went to NYU Tisch. And I didn't study acting. But a lot of my friends that did. Depending on the school like it just was too much for them the rejection and I guess I mean I guess at a certain point I think they think they're reflecting what the industry is but

sometimes I think they're doing this but sometimes it's like I think you just want to be nasty you want to inflict on others what's been inflicted on you and the thing is people can learn a thing without you having to do it to them literally like you could like prep a person in a way while still being kind and be like the industry's not as kind as this and you know this because you're a human with a big brain who can understand ideas i'm not gonna mimic that i

don't have to be like yeah see this is what choking feels like it's like i can get it without you doing it yeah you can just explain it to me i don't want that i know i know it probably feels bad yeah so you are but i found out about UCB through that failure. And one day we did a little improv thing. And I don't know, I probably mimicked a Mad TV character and people laughed. And they were like, that's Stuart, but you should go to UCB. And so you did it and that's kind of where it clicked for you. Yeah, I saw the first show. Did you start classes in New York?

Yeah, the first show I saw was a stepfather show. And I saw Zach. Which era? It was Zach, Bobby, Miss Bo. Shannon yet or no? Shannon and Chris Gethard. Yes. Yeah.

But not Will Hines. Probably yet. I don't think Will Hines yet. But yeah, I took the class. There's still a part of my brain that remembers UCB stats. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

It's like it'll never go away. Yeah. Like the Herald team. 1985. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Fawn. I It's like it'll never go away. Yeah, like the Herald team 1985. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Fawn. I can name most of Fawn. And it's like, why?

Weird, yeah. It's like straight guys in baseball where it's like you learn it at a certain point and it's imprinted in your brain and it'll never go away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's that and fish stats for me. It was like the UCB at that time, that was like the time. It was, yeah. I remember everybody was a rock star and you just i just sat on the floor there for like a full year yes um and then moved to la i knew there was one in la so i started doing

it there and kind of started over when i got there i didn't know anyone i would just go to shows and be like you're funny are you going anywhere after this were you sick of new york why did you go because you'd like started ucb here what led to be like, I'm ditching New York? I was dating someone. And she went and I went. For the lover. For the love. You never follow a woman. I know.

It's actually rule of culture number 18. Yes. You never follow a woman. And we need male doctors. I'm going to say it again. Jesus Christ. We need male doctors. I'm going to say it again. Jesus Christ. We need male doctors. Was she also an improviser?

Or was she a doctor? She was an actor. She was an actor. She was an actor slash doctor. Yeah. She was Katherine Heigl. People are often both. Yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a crazy combo. A lot of comorbidity. There's a lot of doctor's appointments that get cancelled if you have an actress as doctor. I have a commercial audition for Dunkin Donuts. This is back when it was Dunkin Donuts. I just saw

I just saw I just saw my foot doctor on SVU. This is a version of Christian comedy. These are jokes just for people who are commercial actors in New York. I know SVU, so that was funny for me we love it too you watch criminal minds that's a good one too all right bye bye it dropped dead um um okay so here's the thing yeah i want to talk about the

show a bit yes i love the show thank you and i texted you um thank you for that really quite earnestly yeah no it felt it felt great i mean i've been doing a lot of goofs this episode yeah i've been a goofy character yeah but i love the show thank you so much and you know we had helena on um and we're having chris and sarah oh great so we're doing a whole i mean every lost cold racist man is gonna know that we love the other two. So this is kind of like your first big, big thing. Yes. I mean, we've seen you on Subway posters for a bajillion. Was it?

Oh, it was on the Subway for a minute. I texted you one time. I was like, you're on the Subway, man. That was so cool. Yeah. Yeah. But this is the first time I'm not on a show that when I promote it, I don't have to go, here's where it is.

Use promo code Drew to get a free month. Like, I don't have to go, here's where it is. Use promo code Drew to get a free month. Like, I don't have to do that, which is nice. Now I just have to say, I think it's channel 47 Comedy Central. I don't really know. It depends on your, but it's very, it's a cool, yeah, it's my first thing that people can find. Yeah, it's gotta be cool to be a part of too

because what I said was like, and you've seen a bunch of it now. I was like, I think a lot of people are gonna feel very seen by it. And to be cool to be a part of too because what i said was like and you've seen a bunch of it now i was like i think a lot of people are going to feel very seen by it and i think that's like a testament to like very much chris and sarah who really just seem to fucking know just exactly the way we want to hear things and it's just like just so smart like talk a little bit about like when auditioning for it getting this yeah and you knew them from before yeah i knew them just from around backstage you know at at ucb and stuff and obviously i knew their stuff from snl i loved

all their uh stuff on snl and i read this script and i i mean you guys know what it's like i hadn't done much without a fake mustache on or just screaming in a wig totally and i i always same no it's not and i always wanted to do something that was you know closer to myself or grounded um and there's nobody better i'd seen chris's movie other people obviously it's so good other people the other two yes saturday other night live yes he's changed the name of that he's really got a through line he's powerful but yeah so I read the script and loved it

so I just reached out to my agent and he was like they're not auditioning people yet they come here in two weeks to cast it and I was like can I just please make a tape and I'll honestly I'll cross some boundaries some personal boundaries that i maybe shouldn't yeah to get this tape to them

and i think i maybe emailed chris and i was like listen i know you're writing on the best season of one of the best shows and you're very stressed but if you want to take a look at this and it was he you know he looked at it and then i auditioned for it when they actually came yep um did he respond to that email i don't i truly i that's brazen in a positive way a thing that i have trouble doing like i have trouble not just like sort of being like put my name in i can't like be the guy who's like i'm gonna just i think it required my agent telling me like this might be the chance to do something over the line yeah and i remember not wanting which is like you do know chris it's not coming out of anywhere yeah and he probably wants to see you anyway for like it's not like you're just yeah and i was like

just just take a look at this yeah um because i also think there was something going on where i was i i maybe was going to be out of town for a couple days when they were there you needed to because I also think there was something going on where I was, I maybe was going to be out of town for a couple days when they were there. You needed to take a leap. I just needed to do it. So I sent it and they were like, this is great, we are busy.

Yeah. You know, I don't know if he even responded, but I think I got word that he had seen it and was like, great, I'd love to see you when you come in town or go read with the actual casting director. Right. And then I just auditioned a few times and and ended up getting it you know it's kind of like

i can totally understand like acting that way about it because watching the show you know we only get so many roles like that you know you only get and you only get an opportunity to actually play someone where you're like oh i know this person me actually yeah like you don't see it on television a lot with like a like a character that's the gay lead right i don't see it no it's it's so i remember just being like oh uh queer actor in the show queer in real life i need to really it just was so special to me this role and it felt like honestly it felt so close to me i i was like are they making fun of me yeah right because like my sister was my sister yeah i was like this is too weird i will tell you the show is about a little yeah did chris know that or did you ever get to tell him that or no afterwards were you like by I told him dubs I had the version of this from 15 years ago yeah I told them about it and they're like that's crazy yeah um I worked at the ride

you did yeah for like over a year like I actually got to I told Chris and Sarah that I was like I worked at this thing like yeah I actually was like the person who was out on the street you were I was like the thing that you do in the show yes yeah when i was that's why when i was watching it i was like oh my god because i literally they don't do exactly what you do in the show but you are like a singer and i kid you not it was the bus would go by and they were like look at this guy and they were like what's your talent and i was like well i sing a bit and then i this is the song I sang. I swear to you. I know you're lying. Your lips are moving.

Tell me, do you think I'm dumb? The Meghan Trainor. Wow. Eighth song you think of for Meghan Trainor. Yeah. So I was like, what you did in the show is almost as pathetic as what it actually was. Yeah. But it entertained a lot of people.

But I was like, it entertained a lot of people but i was like it's crazy yeah how specific this is it's very it's very strange to because almost sometimes i felt like am i on a comedy right now it's so funny yeah but there are storylines for my character that felt when i was in it acting it and and doing it, I was like, oh, this is scary and vulnerable. Parts of it are tough to watch. Yeah. I would say there's a lot of, there's a narrative thread of kind of like narcissism and sort

of like social media obsession and sort of like just not seeing or hearing other people for a bit because you get caught up in this kind of narrative of fame right or attention yes it's very um uh applicable to what i think we all go through oh yeah yeah it's it's a it's a really good show i'm i'm excited about it and yeah there's a bunch of themes in it that you don't see a lot yeah no because i think it's because i think it's because a lot of people that try to tackle the shit like they're not smart enough to know because they're in it and so that's why like with chris and um sarah it's like it seems like they're just like uncommonly like just aware and intelligent and able to reflect upon it and to reflect upon this thing because and and also to be able to create comedic situations out of it

because I was watching it. I just put my fingers in the tea. Did you see that? I took my fingers and put it in the tea. And then you were going to clean your hands with it? Did you think it was water? I don't know what the fuck just happened. I saw it and was so, I thought it was so crazy.

I looked up quickly. Alessio, put my hands in the tea. I didn't know. I wanted to ignore it because and was so, I thought it was so crazy. I looked up quickly. Alessio, put my hands in the tea. I didn't know. I wanted to ignore it because I was like, that's a thing he does. He puts his hands in tea while recording this. As I'm making this point about how the creators of this show are super smart, I'm like putting my hands in my own fucking drink. They're really smart.

One day you'll be able to reflect on this, though, and turn it into something. Exactly. I'll be able to see this moment at some point. But what I'm saying is, like, it feels like such a right now thing. I almost can't even believe that was written a year ago

or a year and a half ago, whenever it was. Because it feels like right now, it's like we are fully, fully, fully obsessed with that episode where you're running to try to get Instagram followers with those Instagram gays. Yes. That was crazy. Woof.

You've seen that one too? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, woof. Yeah, it's pretty woof. Yeah. And it's just like that is a real thing. Oh, yeah.

Those people. I know. Yeah. But I think the show does such a great job with it never villainizes my hands in the tea and i can't get over it never villainizes what it no no no i we i wasn't it to clean them what was it i think i was reaching for the for the handle and i they went in the tea did you think like i just want a little bit of tea i'll just like pick it up and i don't want to fall just suck i'll just dip my fingers in and then honestly my instinct was play this off suck on your fingers it's fine my instinct was he's he's he's dipping his hands

don't make it a weird thing he likes to suck tea off his fingers be chill you're a guest here you're a guest here let him fucking he can pour that thing on his head okay it never villainizes like these instagrams for having that yeah yeah it it's it could be much more cynical and and really like make fun of social media stars or or the people they are you know sort of making fun of a little bit And it always makes the main characters are the ones who are right. My character was wrong. Carrie was wrong. Yeah, exactly.

Oh, man. There's some stuff with your love interest in the season where I was like, no. I was literally screaming at the computer. I was like, no, no. Do the right thing. No. But anyway, maybe that's a spoiler. We'll talk later.

I don't know when this one's coming out but i don't want anyone to know that things happen with the love interest yeah there's some things that happen there's some things that happen in this show you were referencing earlier the thing in the plane yeah okay okay i mean we've and honestly like whenever i talk to anyone else that has seen the whole season uh-, we all talk about the planes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There is some Emmy-worthy shit going down with Molly Shannon later in the season. Yeah, that was the first episode we filmed.

Seriously? First week, that's what we started with. And you must have been like, wow, what show did I book? Yeah, I was shocked. Actually, I saw you at game show yes and that must have been right around that time because i saw you and i was like how's it going and you were like it's a lot of acting that's what you said yeah i was like yeah and i we just dropped into a especially tough yeah um you know and i was i was just kind of shocked Yeah

Of just like okay This is some real high level stuff Like get it together Get your shit together Yeah right You're not gonna fucking mustache your way through this Acting teacher Yeah I immediately went back

I need it quick honey And she was like you're just as bad Do Stuart again Do Rusty Just do Stuart Do any Michael McDonald character And it'll calm you down Be that 800 pound Jack McBrayer character on the plane.

Oh, my God. Then, honestly, like, where is that acting teacher now? How about that? And doubt she is not. And doubt she is not. Unless she is and doubt. She is not. Okay, great, great.

Then it stands. She is not. And dad really taught at NYU a lot of my friends, and then she is, now she's a star. It's wild. Yeah. I love it. So those acting teachers my friends, and now she's a star. It's wild. Yeah. I love it. So those acting teachers, they can.

So you didn't study acting? No, I didn't. I was a writing major. Oh, cool. So I got into sketch comedy while I was in school. Kind of similar to you as a roundabout way of being like, I want to be an actor. What's a way I can get on stage? So I auditioned for the sketch group and was like, oh, I kind of like being a clown.

Yeah, yeah. And then sketch was my life for like a decade. Until like, oh, I kind of like being a clown up here. Yeah, yeah. And then sketch was my life for like a decade until yesterday when I decided never again. Yeah, I saw that social media. You're going back to improv. That big push on social media

that you're moving on. Bone was so shocked he died 40 minutes ago. I know. He lost his life. I did not know it was from that push. He lost his life.

He lost his life. Because he was like, what are you going to do with all these costumes?. He lost his life. Because he was like, what are you going to do with all these costumes? Wigs and mustaches. And I was like, I'm giving them to you. And I was like,

I thought you could have some use for them now that you work at SNL. Right. Because you have to bring your own props and stuff there. Of course. I was like,

it's a famous thing about SNL is that everyone provides their own wigs and props. And he had a heart attack. His little heart stopped. He did. Wow. We remember you, Bowen.

We still don't have time for the moment of silence. No, no. We really are on a tight schedule. No, let me tell you something. We're on a schedule so we don't have that moment of silence,

but we do absolutely have to do. Alessia, you sit back in that chair, baby boy, because we were doing I Don't Think So. Oh, my God. What did you forget that we were doing it? I actually sort of did.

Cut. You better get one together. This is really true. So listen, I Don't Think So Honey is the segment that we always do on Las Coturistas. Yes, that is the name of this podcast. Not Las Costa Ricas, as my father thinks. It's one minute to rail against something in culture that we are absolutely just fucking through with and um we are going on tour so if you are living the portland seattle

san francisco vancouver uh boston philly dc houston austin and dallas area you're on the list god damn it and also brooklyn we never forget about you bell house on 420 don't fucking shop to my show hi um and uh here we go so you can get tickets to that now uh we don't have a website because that's how we roll but you can go to my website mattrodgerscomedy.com and under the shows page there's a link all right so listen we're gonna do me first because i have prepared one this is and josh i'm gonna hand this to you yes um and you're gonna fucking press start yes and then you're gonna say 30 seconds 15 5 and then one minute let's fucking roll this is matt rogers i don't think so honey starting now i don't think so honey when you hook up with someone and you go in the morning to go to the bathroom

and they have one of those roommates who is literally in the bathroom for a half an hour. I am a guest here, honey. And you know I'm here because your roommate is not quiet when he comes. All right, so listen. This happened to me last night. Yes, I did hashtag hook up last night. I love that love sharing and that with another person but the roommate this morning how how much longer honey do you need

to be in the bathroom 30 seconds minutes seriously i have shit to do in there and i'm not gonna and you there's no way to be like cute about it in the morning either Because you leave the room, come back, she's still in there. And he's like, oh, okay. And then I have to fucking do a song and dance? I don't think so, honey. 15 seconds. Get out. I am a guest in your house.

Who fucking raised you? My mother raised me that if my roommate is getting it in, you fucking clear out and wait until he goes. Or knock on the door and say, I'm going in the bathroom. Make it a cute comedic moment. Yes, I do knock on people's doors when they're having sex sorry sudi and her boy ex-boyfriend from four years ago and that is a minute that is a minute i used to do this thing where whenever i heard oh my god she's gonna be mad uh whenever i used to hear sudi having sex i would knock on the door

and say i'm going out no i love. And she'd be like, get out! That's really silly. Well, listen, don't you agree? Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Get out. Get out. Nothing should take that long.

Was there shower noises? Were there any, like, obvious, I'm trying to move through this? That's the thing. I don't know what the girl was doing in there. But you gotta get out. Yes. Because it's like, of course, it's like one of these situations where it's like someone with a roommate i don't know are we doing studio life single life i'm about to move into a studio i have a studio i have a place by myself there you go and so now we don't have to deal with that in that life in two weeks

i can't wait maybe i should just start inviting guys over i just had an idea yes what was your idea oh for just for an i don't, you should. What was your idea? Oh, just for an... I don't think so, honey. I had a vision of what it'll be. That's great. That's okay. But anyway, yes, have guys over.

That's why you have a studio. Yeah, but I have a subdivision and the other side of the wall is very thin. I can often hear the girl cooking. I fear... And so I don't want to be like... My concern with a studio is like... What does that sound like?

Is she like being like, I have two tablespoons? Or is she just... It's like a lot of cuppers being slammed like she's she's whispering and then my room sounds like oh no because i'm always going oh no during sex obviously i'm worried right now having roommates is the only thing that gives me some restraint with the number of tricks I want to have over.

So I feel like a studio life, I might just be like, sure, do it. Because sometimes people text me, I'm like, my roommate's here, which usually means you don't need to have them over. No, right. Because if they're good enough, I'm like, it doesn't matter my roommate's here. I won't be embarrassed if they meet you. Josh Sharp, my note for you is less restraint. All right.

God bless. I've been done saying that. God bless. Anyway, it was really jarring this morning when I just had to pee so bad. And also, I'm sorry, but fart. And I had to go in there, and it was just like, oh, my God, how long could you take? Yeah, so did you return back to the room having not gone? I did.

Because then it's the thing of, like, you don't want to be gone for a long time. Right, and then come back and be like I was just I wasn't taking a shit I was just in the hallway exactly right did you explain the search to him like I couldn't get in I yeah I did because I mean what was I gonna do yeah so listen I just want everyone to think about

that and that's really why I want everyone that's what I want of all my lost culture listeners is just think about it I just want you to leave every episode having thought. All right, Josh. This is your I Don't Think So, Honey, and you said you had just thought of that. Yeah, we'll see if it's good, but I had a vision. Josh Sharp.

Related to the move. I Don't Think So, Honey, and your time starts now. Okay, great. So I Don't Think So, Honey, Facebook marketplace. So I am moving to a studio to get more dick. I'm getting rid of some of my shit. I've been posting stuff on the Instagram, trying to sell some of it to friends, especially if it's like fancy stuff like, oh, a keyboard or amps where it's like, when did I have amps?

You know? So then I couldn't get anyone to buy this amp. Fair. Fair. I'm not friends with, you know, straight boys anymore, really. So who needs an amp? So I decided I'll see what the Facebook messenger has to have. I put it up there thinking it'll be fine but it's not like craigslist remember the craigslist that would be like a wall where it's like they couldn't see who you were yes

means when it's posted people are just sliding me josh sharps dms you know just frankly just going like what's up and saying rude shit as if i can't see you fully people message me going i bet it doesn't work 15 seconds how is this help what what do you get off on messaging me i bet it doesn't work and then and low-balling me being like 50 or whatever i'm like what are you doing and then i want you know put it behind a veil let me answer if i want ultimately i sold it to a lovely man named brick and that's one minute. Congratulations, Brick. B-R-I-C-K. B-R-I, or Bricks. B-R-I-X. Sorry.

Oh, wow. Bricks. No, now I don't like it. Yeah. I liked Brick. I don't like Bricks. Yeah. Bricks, did he first say, probably doesn't work?

No. What a funny thing. Honestly, Bricks was the first I responded to because he was nice. He was nagging you. He was nagging me. That person was nagging you and they clearly wanted to fuck the Joshua D. Sharp. Yeah. And honestly, watch.

But you know when Craigslist would send it to a fake email and then you'd get it from there and then you could respond? But they didn't just get your email? Yeah. Did you ever use Craigslist? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't get your email, which is nice. First dick I sucked was Craigslist.

That's crazy, Josh. Really? It was a different era. It was the pre-Glee era. The pre-Glee era. We didn't have the apps. Of course, the apps and Glee. I'm old.

Happened at the same time. I'm 31 years old. Listen, they emailed you about your dick and said, prob doesn't work. Yeah. And then they said $50. I think a lot of us have that Craigslist thing in common. I don't. You don't do it?

But I know of many young children. I did it once when I was in college. Fellow showed up, was like, I actually know you. I was like, oh. Whoa. Friend of my brother's, as it turned out. turned out oh i don't like that did you go through with it we did go through with it it was fine but then i think he was in a place of shame after so then i would see him on campus and i hate to say this but he would literally like run away if he saw me like one time i saw him clock me and truly like turn and run but then we became friends after we were

both closeted you know it's It's tough. It's tough. So listen, this is our guest, Drew Tarver. Yes. I don't think so, honey. And his time starts now. I don't think so, honey. My stomach. I don't think so, honey.

You can't eat vegetables. I don't think so. What do you mean mushrooms are too squishy and you don't like the consistency of them? You can't eat one salad a week. Just one salad. I don't think so. Honey, you get gas on planes? That's most of the only place you get gas where it really matters when you're sitting next to someone. And you get full stomach gas, like big baby stomach.

I don't think so, honey. Meat and cheeses only. That's all you want. That's all you want. And also cheeses are bad for you, but that's what you want. You get diarrhea when you eat cheeses, but that's the only thing you want. My stomach. I don't think so, honey.

My stomach. My stomach. Oh, you can't do one day of almond milk in your coffee? You have to have milk. And I don't think so honey what is that why can't you be a normal and and i don't think so honey you can't take fiber that's one minute we have to unpack this in real time uh what's going on drew it kind of went back and forth between my stomach and my palate at the same time. But I've kind of focused on my stomach.

I hate my stomach. I'm sick of it. Has it always been bad? No. So what happens when you do eat a second weekly salad? Well, I have to stomach it. People make fun of Trump for not eating vegetables. It hits hard with me.

And I'm like, Jesus, am I him? And it's because your stomach says no well I it just goes yuck this is bad oh like yeah and I also was was never my palate is really trashy I was only fed like super salted I mean I was a chicken fingers kind yeah girl yeah I don't know so I never I don't know what dressings to put with what things. I'm going to go take a nap in the truck. Wasn't doing a chopped kale Caesar at the house. She never did. She was like, hey, I'll not only have

a canned vegetable, but I'm going to put bacon on it. Yeah. And salt. And salt. So I'm really paying for that now. And I think I'm, you know, not late in life, but like I'm lactose intolerant too, but I'm hooked on all that stuff. Yeah, you got to take a lactate pill and go to town.

I know. That's what my sister, when we were, my sister was seven. She had a friend, Stacy, that came over to the house. And my mom was like, do you guys want ice cream? And little Stacy, who was seven, she goes, oh, I do because I just had a lactate pill. My mom says I can go to town. And I'm doing your Drew Tartar. Yeah, I was going to say, where is she from?

Just because you have the darkness and I've caught it. Well, the little girl was from a dry county, so she had to drive up to Long Island to get ice cream. Yeah, you can't get ice cream. There's a lot of very dry counties down south. You know, your stomach is forcing you to be on the keto diet. Wait, what's the keto diet again? Only meat and cheeses

and like all fats yeah right i'm i'm but it feels very like masculine there's a steak salad i like near it's got to be steak of course near ucb in la i eat that where oh franklin and company i'll go there but that's not enough is that where i ran into you? Last time I was in LA, I ran into you. Total chance encounter, Josh. Is Franklin & Co. the new Byrds? Is that where people go, or it's just for dinner before? I think you can go to either or. It depends on what person in the group hates Byrds.

So you just feel like Byrds was the spot? Byrds was the spot. And now it feels like I often am told to go there after a show. Yeah, there's also a Mexican place around the corner now that we'll go to sometimes. Well, yeah, we're all going to go there. Because you could get mugged going around the wrong corner. Oh, yeah. No, you don't want to go around the corner to the right.

It's the corner to the left where it opens. And you don't want to go across the street because that's a celebrity center of Scientology. I ate dinner there once. And if I go even in there, they're going to get me. I ate dinner there once. I feel very... Immaculate service. You've never had better wait service than from people in a cult.

Oh, absolutely. They are truly like every detail. And they paint so good on that. There's another little center where I think they get taught and stuff. Yeah. They get taught and stuff. And like film videos for themselves. Sure, sure.

It's like a studio. Yeah. And it's immaculate. It's gorgeous. I walk by it. I'm like, this is great. I mean, the main celebrity center looks like a Disney World. Yeah.
