0:06 Speaker 02 Everybody who's considering injectable prep, listen up.
0:09 Speaker 01 Not all injectable prep options are the same. You gotta talk to your doctor about it and you gotta ask the right questions.
0:14 Speaker 02 Is there an option that fits your lifestyle?
0:16 Speaker 01 What about other meds and injection site reactions? These are some questions. Your doctor has the answers. Start the conversation. In the meantime, visit getprepwisdom.com. Do you want to know the secret to life? It's Depop, and by life, I mean affordable fashion.
0:29 Speaker 02 Depop is where you can buy, sell, and discover desirable, inexpensive, secondhand fashion. Sell the stuff you no longer wear, with no selling fees, by the way, and make some money. Then use that money to buy things you actually want to wear for way less.
0:43 Speaker 01 Discover new things, evolve your style, become mysteriously cooler without becoming mysteriously broke.
0:48 Speaker 02 Make money on Depop with no selling fees and find what you want for less.
0:53 Speaker 03 Look, man. Where? Oh, I see. Wow. My. Bowen, look over there. Wow, is that culture? Yes. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas.
1:02 Speaker 01 Ding dong, Las Culturistas calling. You know, actually, we record in this, in this space all the time. And today I went to the wrong floor for some reason. I gotta say, we're on the fourth floor here. The third floor here smells like fucking shit.
1:16 Speaker 02 What is going on there? I see all kinds of, I must say, this building.
1:22 Speaker 02 I have never been able to characterize it. I don't know what it's zoned as. I don't know if it's commercial, residential, industrial. I'm in SimCity up in here. What is this building?
1:33 Speaker 01 Girl, what is it?
1:35 Speaker 02 Because I see people coming.
1:36 Speaker 01 Tell us in the comments.
1:36 Speaker 02 Tell us in the comments.
1:37 Speaker 01 What's this building?
1:39 Speaker 02 I really don't know. Some of, some, producer Anna and Becca have been, well, Anna especially has been here quite a long time.
1:44 Speaker 01 This is like a historical podcast building, right?
1:46 Speaker 04 It does feel like a residential building, though, because there's two showers.
1:50 Speaker 01 There are two showers here.
1:53 Speaker 05 I, I used to get my hair cut in this building.
1:55 Speaker 02 What?
1:56 Speaker 01 So it's some sort of multipurpose? It's a live-work loft?
2:01 Speaker 02 I think.
2:01 Speaker 01 Is that like a live-love-love?
2:04 Speaker 02 I think we could write a podcast horror film.
2:07 Speaker 01 Oh, wow. That would be good.
2:09 Speaker 02 I think it's back rooms, but it's a podcast.
2:11 Speaker 01 They would really believe that.
2:12 Speaker 02 They say, oh, well, they're casters. But I think it's like the old guard of podcasting haunting us. No, no, we've been doing this since 2016.
2:22 Speaker 01 It's the ghost of WTF?
2:23 Speaker 02 It's WTF. It's, you know, Sarah Koenig kind of going, hey.
2:28 Speaker 01 Sarah Koenig just shot up out of bed wherever she was and said, what?
2:33 Speaker 02 Well, it's the fourth anniversary of Fire Island, the film.
2:36 Speaker 01 It actually is.
2:37 Speaker 02 It is.
2:38 Speaker 01 Fifth anniversary of us shooting it. Well, almost.
2:41 Speaker 02 We shot it after Labor Day. Or on the island, but then we shot it in, I want to say, late July, early August.
2:48 Speaker 01 And can you believe the expression is nothing good happens after Labor Day?
2:52 Speaker 02 I can't.
2:53 Speaker 01 It's because it's not true.
2:56 Speaker 01 Yes, our pal is back here. You know who's very excited about this episode? Doug.
3:01 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah.
3:01 Speaker 01 This is Doug's favorite guest.
3:04 Speaker 02 I mean, and he's seen it all.
3:06 Speaker 01 He's seen it all in the chair. This is Doug's favorite guest. It's probably your favorite guest out there. Our guest has shown us a new thing that he bought.
3:15 Speaker 02 Like chic cinch, like snatch pins.
3:17 Speaker 01 Snatch pins?
3:19 Speaker 02 Snatch pins.
3:19 Speaker 01 That's actually a really good name for it if they're not called that. They should be.
3:23 Speaker 02 Should be.
3:24 Speaker 01 So what do you say?
3:25 Speaker 02 What do you say?
3:27 Speaker 01 Welcome to the podcast. Joel Kim Booster.
3:31 Speaker 05 God, so I used to get my hair cut in this building and during the pandemic, he would only cut my hair and Zendaya's mom. And the only reason I know this is because one time I was arriving as she was leaving and I sat down in the chair and he said, you know who that is? And I was like, no. And he was like, that's Zendaya's mom. And we had that relationship for a long time.
3:50 Speaker 02 That's beautiful, but why do you think it was just you two?
3:53 Speaker 05 I think because I had a connection with him and Zendaya's mom has a connection with Zendaya.
4:01 Speaker 01 Okay, but.
4:03 Speaker 01 Did you sleep with this man?
4:05 Speaker 05 No, I would never. He's straight.
4:08 Speaker 01 Oh, okay. So no, I would never, he's straight.
4:11 Speaker 05 It's true, it's true.
4:12 Speaker 01 You've perverted.
4:13 Speaker 05 I have, I have perverted. Converted and perverted.
4:16 Speaker 01 You've perverted. It's actually a front runner for title of app. You've perverted.
4:22 Speaker 05 Um, no, apparently these snatch pins.
4:24 Speaker 01 Yeah.
4:24 Speaker 05 Women have apparently had access to this technology for a long time.
4:27 Speaker 01 They've been gatekeeping.
4:28 Speaker 05 Um.
4:29 Speaker 01 Snatch pins.
4:29 Speaker 02 Women gatekeep all the time.
4:31 Speaker 05 It's so crazy.
4:31 Speaker 01 It's actually Real Culture Number Four. Women gatekeep all the time.
4:35 Speaker 05 Um, no, the favorite guest of this podcast is Patty Harrison, followed by Erin and Josh, and then probably either, like a horse race between me and Sudi.
4:44 Speaker 02 No, no, no, but can I say, and this will, this will piss off those people you just named, you are, I think, and I, this brings me great joy to tell you, our most frequent.
4:54 Speaker 01 Definitely.
4:54 Speaker 05 I think so, because I think I've done it.
4:55 Speaker 01 Double digits.
4:56 Speaker 05 I've almost done it every year since you've done it.
4:58 Speaker 02 I, I think this is probably your 10th appearance.
5:00 Speaker 01 Can we find out how many appearances Jill Kim Booster has done on the podcast, Lost Culture, Usus with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang? You can probably ask AI.
5:07 Speaker 05 It's actually, it's true.
5:09 Speaker 01 You can probably just ask AI.
5:10 Speaker 05 It will lie to you. It will lie to you.
5:12 Speaker 02 Go on DuckDuckGo. Yeah, it'll lie to you.
5:14 Speaker 01 It'll say Jill Kim Booster hasn't just been on the podcast. He's been on the podcast many times.
5:18 Speaker 02 Many times. You gotta go, you gotta go to DuckDuckGo, which is advertised as, oh, it's the one that doesn't have AI. But then you go and there's AI and you gotta toggle it off yourself.
5:26 Speaker 05 Oh, my God.
5:28 Speaker 02 That's, that's wrong. No, that's too low.
5:30 Speaker 01 You have nine? You have this?
5:31 Speaker 05 Is that including the time I guest hosted too?
5:33 Speaker 01 Oh, see? That'll be ten.
5:35 Speaker 04 Oh, wait, no. What? Hold on.
5:38 Speaker 05 I will say, it is such a lovely time capsule because, like, we will re-listen to some of those episodes in the car on long drives and stuff like that. And like, um, if we have absolutely nothing else to do.
5:51 Speaker 01 Um, if you've done every car game.
5:54 Speaker 05 It's so crazy. There's a, I think I told you guys this, but the Squeeze From The Back, that episode we recorded in 2019 was where I came on this podcast, fully believing, by the way, it was not a ruse, that I was like, I don't think I'm meant to be with anyone. I think I'm supposed to be single forever. I don't think everybody, I'm very happy now. I will be happy like this forever. I don't think, I think I have decided today that I am no longer seeking partnership. And it's so crazy to listen to because I, I, I remember saying it and I remember believing it.
6:24 Speaker 02 Well, yes. Do you know what? I saw, I'm sorry, I saw a little reel today.
6:30 Speaker 02 Of this woman going. It's not that you lack confidence, it's that your confidence is directed at the wrong thing. You are confident that things will not work out for you. You are confident that you will not meet the right person. You are confident that you will not get this job and your career will not be this way. Redirect it.
6:43 Speaker 01 Hmm.
6:44 Speaker 02 She goes, if you're looking for your shoes and they're firmly, they're firmly on your feet, of course you're gonna keep looking until you realize that you've had it all along. It's Wizard of Oz shit.
6:52 Speaker 01 I was saying Wizard of Oz coded.
6:54 Speaker 05 That, that is like, that's really actually, thank you to that woman.
6:58 Speaker 02 Thank you to that woman.
6:59 Speaker 05 For once.
7:01 Speaker 02 Because they're all gatekeepers.
7:02 Speaker 05 She was not gatekeeping finally the secret of confidence.
7:06 Speaker 01 Yeah.
7:06 Speaker 05 Where to direct it. Um, but yeah, it's cute.
7:09 Speaker 02 It's a time capsule. What is J M? What is your husband?
7:12 Speaker 01 Who obviously heard that episode years ago and started planning. He's a very calculated person.
7:18 Speaker 05 Mastermind.
7:20 Speaker 01 That's Taylor's song.
7:24 Speaker 05 No, I mean, it's funny, mostly he like notes the fact that he was like, wow, y'all really could say anything back then.
7:31 Speaker 01 Yeah.
7:34 Speaker 05 He always is just like.
7:39 Speaker 05 Wow.
7:39 Speaker 02 Including like live shows.
7:41 Speaker 05 Live shows, I don't think so, honey.
7:43 Speaker 01 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
7:43 Speaker 05 Rules of the global songbook.
7:45 Speaker 02 Yeah.
7:46 Speaker 01 Yeah, all of that.
7:47 Speaker 05 I'm always available.
7:49 Speaker 02 No.
7:51 Speaker 01 So are we, apparently.
7:52 Speaker 02 So are we.
7:52 Speaker 01 We're still sitting here doing it.
7:54 Speaker 05 My favorite episode that we ever recorded though was the one on the bed in Fire Island.
7:57 Speaker 01 Yeah, that was good.
7:58 Speaker 05 That was a good one. And I wasn't even supposed to be the guest that day. I just heard you guys talking and came into the room.
8:03 Speaker 01 I think we were doing a, we were doing a culture catch up from Fire Island whilst shooting.
8:08 Speaker 05 And we had just watched the Salt Lake premiere.
8:10 Speaker 01 Yeah.
8:11 Speaker 02 It was.
8:12 Speaker 01 Yeah.
8:12 Speaker 02 Of season three, John Shaw.
8:14 Speaker 05 Mm-hmm.
8:14 Speaker 02 Or two?
8:16 Speaker 05 I think it was the bad one. It was 2021, so yeah.
8:19 Speaker 01 Three is bad. Do you like Real Housewives of Rhode Island?
8:23 Speaker 05 I love it.
8:24 Speaker 01 You love it.
8:25 Speaker 05 I am, I think it is too soon to tell, obviously, but I would say its trajectory is on the same one that Salt Lake was on.
8:32 Speaker 02 Well, yes, it is because there is like a criminal.
8:35 Speaker 01 Have you heard about this?
8:36 Speaker 02 Element to it.
8:36 Speaker 05 I mean, Liz, right? I've been down the Reddit rabbit hole on this. First of all, I will say a lot of locals are very surprised that Liz would sign up for this show.
8:46 Speaker 01 Interesting.
8:47 Speaker 05 A lot of people that I know from the area have told me, very strange impulse for a woman with. Sort of rumors surrounding her. And, you know, known secrets and things like that to sign up. It is a disease that some of these women have.
9:02 Speaker 01 Yeah.
9:02 Speaker 05 That some of these reality show stars have.
9:04 Speaker 01 Yeah. And thank God.
9:07 Speaker 02 Thank God.
9:07 Speaker 01 Well, thank God for the disease. It's actually Real Culture number 14. Thank God for the disease.
9:12 Speaker 02 Here's my theory is that these people think, oh shit. Things aren't looking good. I should launder my image and some, I should, I should, I should clean this up however I can and have this lever of control. That seems to be in my control by going on the show.
9:26 Speaker 05 Well, the, what I have, I've seen posited is that, first of all, that boat was not just for fishing.
9:33 Speaker 02 Right.
9:34 Speaker 05 And they sold the boat so fast. And they, everyone thinks now, the show is exactly what you said. It's her trying to go straight.
9:40 Speaker 02 Yeah.
9:40 Speaker 05 But like, it was all so recent that like.
9:44 Speaker 01 Girl, you gotta sell the boat before the cameras roll.
9:46 Speaker 05 Exactly, exactly. But it is ma. I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say. But it is ma. I wanna say allegedly to all of that, just.
9:54 Speaker 01 I was gonna say, maybe we should call the episode allegedly, so that every, everyone knows that everything under the umbrella of this episode is allegedly.
10:02 Speaker 05 Yeah.
10:02 Speaker 01 So you actually can't sue us. You're actually not allowed.
10:05 Speaker 02 And see, we do still say shit we wanna say.
10:07 Speaker 05 I, I will say, um, Alicia is breakout star of the last, of any Bravo show that's premiered.
10:16 Speaker 01 Absolutely, 100%.
10:17 Speaker 05 I mean, everything she says.
10:19 Speaker 01 Don't, don't say all that, because, you know, we all have a new friend. And her name is Mia.
10:25 Speaker 05 Oh, yeah.
10:25 Speaker 02 I thought you were gonna say Lindsay Hubbard as well.
10:27 Speaker 01 We love Lindsay Hubbard.
10:28 Speaker 02 And Mia, of course.
10:29 Speaker 05 If you had told me four years ago, that I would be defending and riding hard for Lindsay Hubbard and the Pope. I would have fucking spat in your face and said, who are you talking to?
10:41 Speaker 01 Certainly not me.
10:42 Speaker 05 Not, not, that could never happen. And yet, here I am, because Lindsay Hubbard.
10:46 Speaker 01 She's a top 10.
10:47 Speaker 05 In this season.
10:48 Speaker 01 Would say about Lindsay Hubbard. Lindsay Hubbard is a top 10 reality show. I- in the year of our Lord 2026, she's in the top 10 of real- reality show people we have.
10:58 Speaker 05 Now, the show is bad. The impulse was right to center a show around Lindsay.
11:02 Speaker 02 Yes.
11:03 Speaker 05 She deserves it. She deserves. I don't think it's very good.
11:08 Speaker 01 Sure. Yes, you are entitled to that.
11:09 Speaker 05 I think it is too dis- the relationships are too disparate. And I think not having Carl there is.
11:19 Speaker 01 I want to see Carl at Softbar. I'm going to Softbar. Can we go? Wait, actually, can we, can we make it a whole day to go to Softbar?
11:26 Speaker 02 Let's all plan a Softbar.
11:26 Speaker 01 Yeah, let's go.
11:28 Speaker 05 I bet he would love if you had an event there.
11:31 Speaker 01 Why don't we have?
11:32 Speaker 05 Pop up? I don't think so, honey, lie.
11:36 Speaker 05 We should, absolutely.
11:37 Speaker 01 Some, something with the idea of being soft. Hey, guys, this is Matt from the future. And funny story, we actually had the Culture Awards viewing party at Softbar. So I just wanted to tell you, we did have an event there. Thanks, Carl, and everyone over at Softbar. Bye. Or back to the episode.
11:57 Speaker 05 Yes, yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, this was gonna be my, I don't think so, honey, but I don't want to say, I don't want to.
12:07 Speaker 05 I don't think so, honey. Sending dick pics when you're flaccid. What, what, what are you doing? That's giving me no useful information.
12:15 Speaker 02 Terrible.
12:16 Speaker 01 It's crazy.
12:16 Speaker 05 A flaccid penis can look like anything.
12:19 Speaker 01 Well, it's, it's, it's another notch in the sociopath column. Like, oh, yeah, they'll like this. Well, even though it's flaccid.
12:27 Speaker 02 Well, my theory is they go, mine looks pretty good even, mine looks great even if it's flaccid.
12:33 Speaker 01 The narcissistic impulse to share your penis, no matter what its constitution.
12:38 Speaker 05 Yeah.
12:39 Speaker 01 Is something we have to attack.
12:41 Speaker 05 I, I'm, I do not use any sorts of angles when I send my dick out because I'm over, under, promise, over deliver.
12:48 Speaker 02 Yes.
12:48 Speaker 05 Always. And it's like, you're gonna see it. It's like lying about anything physical on dating apps. It's like lie about your life, your resume, your, you know, your family. But don't lie about your height or how big your hands are.
12:59 Speaker 01 Yeah.
13:00 Speaker 05 You know?
13:01 Speaker 01 Also, it's like. You know what I'm saying? It's like, sometimes I'm like, if you're really sending a lib- I guess he can't show butt because he's a straight guy.
13:09 Speaker 05 Yeah.
13:10 Speaker 01 But if I'm sending a nude, it's always, I'm always go- going ass.
13:14 Speaker 05 Ass first, certainly.
13:15 Speaker 01 Yeah.
13:16 Speaker 05 And then it depends on the situation. Like, I have different, um, albums for different situations. And one time when we were in Mexico City, not you and, uh, when, I don't know why I just referred to Jam as we and he's not here, but anyways. On that trip, I talked to two separate guys on Grindr, one a bottom, one a top, and then went out and found out they were roommates and were really upset that I was talking to both of them.
13:38 Speaker 01 Yeah.
13:38 Speaker 05 And I was like, wow, you got two different versions of me because it's all a performance.
13:42 Speaker 01 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:43 Speaker 05 It's all a performance.
13:44 Speaker 01 Well, you were all born naked and the rest is bread. Stop That Train is in theaters now.
13:49 Speaker 05 Oh my god, can we talk about it?
13:51 Speaker 01 Sure.
13:51 Speaker 05 I fucking loved it, Matt.
13:53 Speaker 01 I think everyone's gonna love it.
13:54 Speaker 05 I, and listen.
13:55 Speaker 01 Thank you.
13:55 Speaker 05 And I'm gonna say something, it's better than it needed to be.
13:59 Speaker 01 Oh, that's beautiful.
14:00 Speaker 05 It's far better than it needed to be.
14:01 Speaker 01 I think, I, I think that that is true.
14:03 Speaker 02 It wasn't gonna be a bad movie because it's Adam Shankman.
14:06 Speaker 05 No, exactly. But it is like one of those things where like, I don't think everyone, I don't think anyone expected it. It is like, to me, like, as good if not better than the recent Naked Gun.
14:17 Speaker 01 Mm.
14:17 Speaker 05 Like, I think, like, jokes per minute, it's like, I was like, trying to like, catch my breath at times because it's very funny. All the cameos nail it.
14:27 Speaker 01 Yeah, it's really, it's one of those like, classic disaster parody movies where like, the, the cameos are flying a mile a minute.
14:34 Speaker 05 Yeah. And there, you can tell they were all shot like, wherever they were.
14:38 Speaker 01 Yeah.
14:39 Speaker 05 A corner, um.
14:41 Speaker 01 Everyone did, not even a day on set, like, forty-five minutes on set.
14:44 Speaker 05 Yeah.
14:45 Speaker 01 In a way, that's beautiful.
14:46 Speaker 05 And, for some of them, it was a moment, I had a moment of like, oh, so you can do this? What were you doing on that fucking show? Like, you know, like, you're all very talented.
14:56 Speaker 02 I know, I know.
14:56 Speaker 05 They're all really talented.
14:58 Speaker 01 You ever talking to a top on the apps and you're like, well, even though I know you're not into it, I am gonna show you my dick?
15:06 Speaker 05 You know, I find that most people wanna see it.
15:10 Speaker 02 They wanna see dick.
15:10 Speaker 01 Yeah, they wanna see it. I actually could give less of a fuck about the, well. Have we talked about this before? Almost certainly. You've been on the podcast 6,000 times. But just like when someone sends dick, I'm not always like.
15:23 Speaker 02 Thrilled.
15:23 Speaker 05 Thrilled.
15:24 Speaker 01 Alright, because when it's too big, I'm like, oh, that feels like, well, there's the day.
15:29 Speaker 05 Well, and it's like, it really is. I feel like sometimes if they don't send something for scale, it is a little bit like, I'm doing proof. Like, I'm like, I'm like.
15:38 Speaker 01 The remote control in the picture.
15:40 Speaker 05 I'm looking at the, you know, the door frame and I'm like, okay, that's six, that's six foot. And like the angle of what he's doing right now, that's probably, you know, and it's like, it's 11 inches away from his body.
15:51 Speaker 01 Really good to have scale when you are talking to someone in a new way. Like, I remember when Fraser and I were first texting and sending messages. I wasn't sure how tall he was. And then I saw him take a picture on the step and repeat. I watched what happens live. And I was like, I think he's exactly at the letter I am.
16:07 Speaker 05 And you were doing proof.
16:08 Speaker 01 And then when I met him at Firefly Restaurant, um, in Studio City, I walked up to him, he was sitting at the bar and he turned around and he got up out of the chair and said, hello. And I said, yeah, exactly as I suspected. And he was like, whoa.
16:22 Speaker 01 And I was like, you're just as tall as I thought. He was like, oh, okay. And then it wasn't, it wasn't like.
16:27 Speaker 05 And you sound like you are in proof. You sound like the, the, the main girl in proof. Crazy.
16:32 Speaker 01 Have you seen Io in proof yet?
16:33 Speaker 05 I have not gotten to New York to see it yet. I have to see her in proof. I have to see Mateo in Chicago now.
16:37 Speaker 01 I know.
16:38 Speaker 05 I have to see, like, congrats to our girl. Yeah.
16:40 Speaker 01 Mateo Lane is doing Billy Flynn.
16:41 Speaker 05 What? Yeah.
16:42 Speaker 01 Oh, my God, Mateo, I'm so thrilled.
16:45 Speaker 05 To break the news to you live on.
16:46 Speaker 01 I'm so happy.
16:48 Speaker 05 Yeah, no, it's, it's like, he's gonna kill it. And like, the fact is, is it's sunny, cause you, I think a lot of people forget how multi-talented he is.
16:55 Speaker 01 It feels too easy for him.
16:57 Speaker 05 It's so annoying.
16:58 Speaker 01 He's gonna kill it.
16:59 Speaker 05 He's like an opera-trained singer.
17:00 Speaker 01 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

17:23 Speaker 01 Okay, well, you get to-
17:24 Speaker 05 That sucks.
17:25 Speaker 01 Yeah.
17:25 Speaker 05 That sucks. I'd love to see that.
17:26 Speaker 01 Cause you know it's the, also, who you get to interact with when you guest judge.
17:30 Speaker 05 Is Mark and Tugger.
17:31 Speaker 01 That Rum Tum Tugger. Sidney.
17:33 Speaker 05 Rum Tum Tug Me.
17:35 Speaker 01 Yeah, period.
17:36 Speaker 02 No, no, it's, it is crazy. You're like-
17:37 Speaker 01 It's very serious.
17:38 Speaker 02 Damn, that's the hottest person who's ever lived.
17:40 Speaker 01 Crazy.
17:40 Speaker 05 I, um, I was gonna say, I was thinking about something and then my Stop That Train, and it's lightly connected to Jellicle Ball cause it's about like, house culture, but like, um, when I said the thing about like, oh, it's way better than it needs to be, I was worried that you would think it was shady and-
17:56 Speaker 01 No, no.
17:57 Speaker 05 And we need to have like, a moratorium on, and of course-
18:01 Speaker 01 On shade.
18:02 Speaker 05 On the use of, the use of the word.
18:04 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
18:05 Speaker 05 It has now become synonymous with insult, and I think that is, it so dilutes the specialness of the word. And granted, like, I'm, I'm getting this information from people of the culture that created this word. I have no business speaking on this, but I am anyways, as is my want on a podcast. But like, the way it was explained to me, and the, and I think this is the perfect distillation of it, is that shade is something you say to someone that they immediately know is an insult, but if they were to try to explain it, word for word, what you said to someone else, they would look crazy.
18:36 Speaker 02 They would look crazy.
18:37 Speaker 05 Like, if you, if I said to you, Bone, I'm coming in here like, "Leave the house in a hurry?"
18:43 Speaker 01 Shade!
18:44 Speaker 05 Yeah, that's like, kinda shady, but like, if you explain that to somebody else-
18:48 Speaker 02 So, Joel was so weird. He said, um, "Did you leave the house in a hurry?" And I guess that was fine. I'm crazy, aren't I?
18:56 Speaker 01 Well, did you?
18:59 Speaker 02 Shade!
19:00 Speaker 05 Yeah.
19:01 Speaker 02 You know, you know what's a good one that I heard, um, someone, someone use? Um, "God, I always feel so much smarter when I, when I leave a conversation with you."
19:11 Speaker 02 God, I always feel so much smug when I leave a conversation with you. It's like, damn, that's really good. Because if the person's dumb enough, they're like, oh, thank you.
19:20 Speaker 01 Oh, okay, so, but it's kind of a backhanded compliment.
19:22 Speaker 02 It's backhanded, but it's like, yeah.
19:24 Speaker 05 It's aggression. It is like, it should be, like, it should be smart and it should be stealth, I think is like the key word here.
19:32 Speaker 01 People just insult me. Someone just came up and they go, you are so much cuter on TV. And I'm like...
19:38 Speaker 05 The way I spun out, I was at Hydrate in Chicago, and this guy comes rushing up to me and he was like, "Oh my God, I'm such a huge fan. It's so cool to see you out." And he's like, grabbed me by the shoulders and is sort of like, he's like high, I'm sure on Molly or something. And he was like, holding my shoulders and he just goes, "I'm such a big fan of you. It's so cool to see you out." Huh, you are way bigger online than you are in person. And I, truly, I was like, why would you, like, do not speak on anyone's body when you're first meeting them.
20:06 Speaker 01 Yeah, because either way, I did get that also a couple of weeks ago. They go, "Didn't know you'd be fit."
20:12 Speaker 05 Yeah, it's like...
20:13 Speaker 01 Not didn't know you'd be so fit, just didn't know you'd be someone in any acceptable shape.
20:20 Speaker 05 You just don't know where someone's at or what they want to look like.
20:23 Speaker 01 Of course, yeah.
20:24 Speaker 05 And like, because the thing is, is you could come up to me one day and be like, "You're looking big." And if I'm like, not trying to look big that day, like, you know, it's not a compliment.
20:32 Speaker 01 But you always want to hear, "You're looking big."
20:35 Speaker 05 Sure.
20:35 Speaker 01 Yeah. Don't listen to him.
20:37 Speaker 05 Don't listen to him.
20:38 Speaker 01 Come up and say he's so big.
20:39 Speaker 05 I do know guys who are like, I don't know, listen, my, we all have the same disease.
20:44 Speaker 01 Depends on the area.
20:46 Speaker 02 We all have the same disease, but my dream of dreams is to have someone say anything about me. I'll just, let's say if someone were to, like, I did, someone at Coachella was like, "God, you're so much, God, you have a much better body in person." And I wanted, I was this close, and I kind of wish I did, to just looking him in the eye and being like, "Don't talk about my body, you piece of shit."
21:05 Speaker 05 Yeah.
21:05 Speaker 02 Like, I genuinely am like, I think I'm at that point now, I don't care if it comes, if I'm obvious, that's a terrible thing to say to someone.
21:11 Speaker 05 Right.
21:11 Speaker 02 But that's the point.
21:12 Speaker 05 No.
21:13 Speaker 02 It's like, don't say that. Don't talk about my body.
21:15 Speaker 05 It's like...
21:16 Speaker 01 Do not reply.
21:17 Speaker 02 Do not reply.
21:18 Speaker 01 Your intimacy is yours and mine is mine. Why do you care so much who's dick I ride? Why?
21:27 Speaker 01 I'm like, don't talk about my body.
21:30 Speaker 05 No, again, it's like, and then literally that next weekend, JM's parents were in town and I sat down at lunch for them and his dad was like, "Looking skinny, Joel."
21:40 Speaker 01 No.
21:41 Speaker 05 And again, like, for a sixty-some-year-old man from Cleveland, like, he thinks that skinny is like, is like, good, is like, any, everybody wants to be skinny.
21:50 Speaker 01 Yeah.
21:51 Speaker 05 And it's like, you don't know that I was stick thin for most of my life. And that's my insecurity.
21:57 Speaker 01 Yeah.
21:58 Speaker 02 But can I, but can I say, this is me just literally being like, "Don't, no one talk to me about my body." But I will, I will say, you've indisputably gotten bigger in the time that Matt and I have known you.
22:10 Speaker 05 Yeah.
22:10 Speaker 02 But I remember when Matt and I first saw you at, like, when we first met you at ethnic realness, we were just like.
22:14 Speaker 01 We already thought you were cute.
22:15 Speaker 02 We were like, "Oh, Joel's got such a great body."
22:18 Speaker 05 I had a crazy haircut back then.
22:19 Speaker 01 It was long.
22:20 Speaker 05 We all did. It was like, true, yeah, it was so wild. I mean, but you've seen the headshot, right?
22:26 Speaker 02 Oh, the hair slicked back?
22:27 Speaker 05 No, no, no, no, no.
22:28 Speaker 02 Your headshot.
22:29 Speaker 05 My, one of my very first headshots back, um, when I graduated college.
22:35 Speaker 01 Are you doing something like this?
22:36 Speaker 02 Is it the, is it the bowl cut?
22:38 Speaker 05 It is the gender queer bowl cut.
22:41 Speaker 01 Yes!
22:42 Speaker 05 Can we get this on camera?
22:45 Speaker 01 I do have to say.
22:46 Speaker 05 How do we get this on camera?
22:47 Speaker 01 That's really, really good.
22:48 Speaker 05 Who is this girl?
22:49 Speaker 01 I don't know.
22:50 Speaker 05 She runs the Starbucks like the Navy.
22:52 Speaker 01 I know, she is, but you know what? She's so nice.
22:55 Speaker 02 No, she is, she's so nice.
22:57 Speaker 01 She's so nice.
22:59 Speaker 05 I can't believe I ever said this out to professionals and said, "This is me. This is me."
23:04 Speaker 01 It's like, what type did you think you were?
23:06 Speaker 05 I don't know.
23:08 Speaker 01 But it is true, though, no one knows how to take a headshot at that age. I remember when I went to get my first professional headshot done, I was twenty-two, I had just graduated, and I paid, at the time, it was like a nine-hundred-dollar photo shoot, like, which was a lot of fucking money to me. That was my rent. And so, there was a lot, the guy was very expensive, but he was, he was the good one that you went to.
23:29 Speaker 05 Oh, yeah.
23:30 Speaker 01 And so, for some reason, I decided to have, like, a goatee and wear a, like, a, like, a polo underneath a big sweater, and I look forty-four.
23:44 Speaker 05 I was about to say.
23:45 Speaker 01 And then I shaved and took another picture, and I had, like, a baby face with a white background, and I went like this with my eyes. And I looked 15. So it's like you got one type and another. And I thought, oh, good versatility. No, neither was anything.
24:02 Speaker 05 No.
24:03 Speaker 01 And that guy took my money and ran to the bank.
24:07 Speaker 05 And then what did he do?
24:08 Speaker 01 And deposited it.
24:11 Speaker 01 That's what he did.
24:11 Speaker 05 Into a savings account?
24:13 Speaker 01 Yeah, and he may have even invested that money.
24:16 Speaker 05 Wow.
24:16 Speaker 01 That money, it could probably was invested in crypto. Twenty millions.
24:20 Speaker 02 This is the thing, I'm gonna make a half-assed attempt at a cultural observation.
24:25 Speaker 05 Okay.
24:25 Speaker 02 As we're talking about haircuts and headshots of the past. It's like.
24:30 Speaker 01 Haircuts and headshots.
24:31 Speaker 02 It's social proof, right? It's like you need other people, like we were all being signaled by various things at the time, like this is, this looks normal, this looks good. And it very well does in context, but now that we're looking back on it years later, we're like, what the fuck?
24:46 Speaker 01 Yeah.
24:46 Speaker 02 Cause yeah, like I had the, I had the Richard Spencer like, like side part, you know, like.
24:52 Speaker 05 I mean, I famously, I was innovating, I was a pioneer, I was one of the first on the ground floor to have turf bangs.
24:59 Speaker 02 Turf bangs.
25:00 Speaker 05 And did I know that that's what they were called when I got it?
25:03 Speaker 01 Trans exclusionary radical feminist bangs?
25:06 Speaker 05 Bangs, yeah.
25:07 Speaker 02 Like, yeah, you know.
25:08 Speaker 05 You know exactly. It's the, it's the, like the blunt bang.
25:11 Speaker 02 The blunt bang.
25:12 Speaker 05 That I had in my special, that I had in the first season of Loot.
25:14 Speaker 01 Remember her?
25:15 Speaker 05 Oh, wow. You, this is when I was convinced you, you looked like a young Max Greenfield.
25:22 Speaker 01 I still get that sometimes. In fact, I just, yeah.
25:26 Speaker 02 You know.
25:26 Speaker 01 Now we're going out for the same parts.
25:28 Speaker 05 Max Greenfield?
25:29 Speaker 01 Yeah.
25:29 Speaker 05 That's wild.
25:30 Speaker 01 I know.
25:31 Speaker 02 You know who you give me now that you've?
25:33 Speaker 01 Me?
25:33 Speaker 02 Yes. I think as you, as you age, you grow more and more into a Jon Hamm.
25:38 Speaker 01 Jon Hamm?
25:39 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys have the same kind of like nose and mouth structure.
25:43 Speaker 05 The same starting template on the character creation page and then just a few details.
25:48 Speaker 02 Click the skin tone and hair color and eye color.
25:51 Speaker 01 Okay, I will take that gladly. Thank you.
25:53 Speaker 05 I have to pee, but I want you guys to keep talking.

27:30 Speaker 02 Time for some prep wisdom.
27:32 Speaker 01 But first, some common sense, people. Everyone is different. Every one. Yes, even you. Yes, even your situationship.
27:38 Speaker 02 Especially your situationship. And just like people, injectable prep options, not all the same.
27:44 Speaker 01 That's why you need to talk to your doctor and know what to ask. So here's some prep wisdom.
27:49 Speaker 02 Did you know there's more to consider about long-acting injectable prep options than how often you get it? Also, why you want to take it matters. Your lifestyle matters, your routine, your chaos level, your I might forget my own birthday energy. All of it counts.
28:01 Speaker 01 Basically, talk to your doctor. Have the conversation, ask the questions, be a little nosey about your own health. It's allowed. Encouraged even. Okay, did you write all that down? No? Don't worry.

32:31 Speaker 01 I never saw my, you know who I used to get all the time? And this is not a flex, it's just the truth.
32:37 Speaker 05 Peggy, Elizabeth Olsen.
32:38 Speaker 01 Yeah, I used to get Peggy.
32:39 Speaker 05 Elizabeth, what's her name?
32:41 Speaker 01 Moss.
32:42 Speaker 05 Moss.
32:42 Speaker 01 Yeah.
32:43 Speaker 05 I keep forgetting.
32:43 Speaker 01 Leave that in.
32:44 Speaker 05 Olsen, no, Olsen kind of like, I was like, that's the only Elizabeth I care.
32:48 Speaker 01 No, my favorite actor, your favorite actor.
32:51 Speaker 05 My favorite actor.
32:52 Speaker 01 Everyone's, um, wait, what was I just about to say? Um, I wonder, can we get a picture of like a 30-year-old Jon Hamm? Um, I wonder if he started like me and before he grew into him.
33:06 Speaker 05 Yes, I understand.
33:07 Speaker 01 And you know, but you know who I used to get all the time? I used to get, because of my hairstyle, I would get Robert Pattinson.
33:12 Speaker 05 Yes.
33:12 Speaker 01 And then I got Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
33:14 Speaker 05 That's good.
33:15 Speaker 01 No, at the time, it was very good because he was like Bend It Like Beckham coded. Remember that one scene where he opens, like she, she goes to, there's one scene in Bend It Like Beckham where he comes in in a white shirt and you're kind of like, whoa.
33:28 Speaker 04 It's hard because his hair is so.
33:29 Speaker 01 Not, no, here, can you bring that over so we can show the camera?
33:32 Speaker 05 You know what I mean?
33:35 Speaker 01 Is that reading?
33:37 Speaker 04 I know.
33:37 Speaker 05 I think so.
33:37 Speaker 01 Honestly, not no.
33:39 Speaker 05 I think you guys have the same, like, no, like nose.
33:42 Speaker 01 That's Jon Hamm.
33:43 Speaker 05 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:44 Speaker 01 That's a young Jon Hamm.
33:45 Speaker 05 I see that for sure. I think this, this is Friends.
33:48 Speaker 04 You guys have a very similar smile.
33:49 Speaker 05 Yeah.
33:50 Speaker 01 John.
33:51 Speaker 05 I think it's like, it's in the nose, it's in, you know.
33:55 Speaker 01 Have you met him?
33:56 Speaker 05 I have met him.
33:56 Speaker 01 We love him.
33:57 Speaker 05 We love him. Unfortunately, you know who I get all the time?
34:00 Speaker 01 Who?
34:01 Speaker 05 Me.
34:04 Speaker 05 Wait, did I tell you about what happened to the bachelor, the bachelor party after you left the bar, that night to go home from the bar, the night we went out to the bars?
34:10 Speaker 01 No.
34:11 Speaker 05 Okay, I'm sorry, I, the reason I didn't tell you is this, I, I, it bums you out way more than, than.
34:15 Speaker 01 Tell me.
34:16 Speaker 05 I think, okay, so we went to a bar, this guy comes up to me drunk off his ass and he goes, I don't know who you are. And I was like, okay. And he's like, you're blowing, yeah? And I was like, no, my name is Joel. And he goes, well, that's a shitty made up name. And I literally get my ID out, get my ID out, shove it in his face and go, this is my fucking name. And he goes, why are you putting your ID in my face? I'm not a fucking bouncer. And I was like, okay, what am I doing trying to help you here? You're like, get the fuck away from me. And it was so wild.
34:49 Speaker 02 That sucks.
34:50 Speaker 05 But you know what with that one? I actually feel slightly less demoralized by it than I do, you know, the other two times it happens every month. Because I am actually convinced that he knew, like, he was thinking of me when he saw me. Like, he's like, that's the guy from Lou, etc. But you are the most famous.
35:12 Speaker 02 No, no, no.
35:13 Speaker 05 And so he only knows the two.
35:15 Speaker 02 He only has the space in his head for one Asian guy name. And actually, this is, this goes into my I don't think so honey later, but.
35:22 Speaker 01 It's gonna be about racism.
35:24 Speaker 02 It's gonna be about racism in New Orleans.
35:26 Speaker 01 He's planning today, I don't think so honey racism.
35:29 Speaker 05 Racism in New Orleans. And you're tackling Asian racism in New Orleans.
35:33 Speaker 02 Yes, first.
35:34 Speaker 05 That's the first priority.
35:38 Speaker 02 You know who, you know who I realize I, my doppelganger is?
35:41 Speaker 01 Who?
35:43 Speaker 02 I, I think I am Asian Seth MacFarlane. I think it's in the face a little bit.
35:49 Speaker 01 But you know what, though?
35:51 Speaker 02 I would.
35:51 Speaker 05 Yeah, not not.
35:53 Speaker 01 I would, 10 times out of 10, Seth MacFarlane, I would.
35:57 Speaker 05 There was a really.
35:58 Speaker 01 Funny and talented.
36:00 Speaker 05 There was a, there was a Chinese dancer on America's Got Talent last night who I said looked very much like you, and he was Chinese. And it was one of the first times that I, as an adopted Asian person.
36:10 Speaker 01 Could tell.
36:11 Speaker 05 I clocked it before he said, because I was like, he looks like bone, I bet he's Chinese.
36:16 Speaker 02 The bone structure, the bone structure.
36:18 Speaker 05 But he was such a good dancer, as are you.
36:21 Speaker 02 No, let's not.
36:22 Speaker 01 You're so good.
36:22 Speaker 05 No, actually, your, like, ability to pick up choreo, like, every time I watch you guys, like, the opening, is this gonna be out?
36:31 Speaker 01 Yeah, it'll be out, we can chat about it.
36:32 Speaker 05 I mean. It's so crazy. The thing about the culture awards that is so great is it really tells you who's fucking down to clown. Yes, it does. That Brittany Snow and Malin Ackerman were like, yes, we will come out and do that. I'm like, okay, those are two cool ass people. Green flag.
36:53 Speaker 02 Justine Loop and Timothy Simon, they killed.
36:55 Speaker 05 Yeah.
36:56 Speaker 02 Killed.
36:56 Speaker 05 It really is like, it's the randomness of some of it. It really feels like you guys went on Facebook like, and were like, who wants to be in the cult? Like, like this post.
37:07 Speaker 02 Like this post.
37:08 Speaker 01 Are you available this day? You can have a whole moment in the cult. You know who else was good? I was watching the edit today, like finishing it up. Paige and Hannah really got it.
37:18 Speaker 05 Oh, yeah.
37:18 Speaker 01 They really got it. And I loved that.
37:21 Speaker 05 Of everyone out of the Bravo sphere. Cause there were some Bravo people who maybe didn't understand. And I'm not gonna shout out anybody. I think if you watch the awards.
37:32 Speaker 02 It's the reason why we love these Bravo.
37:33 Speaker 05 No, it is. No, in fact, this, the person, there were some people who didn't get it, who in fact were, it was so completely on brand.
37:43 Speaker 02 Yes, this is what I was.
37:44 Speaker 01 I had so, okay, so peek behind the curtain. We had written a speech and then got a speech back. And it was clear that this person maybe thought it was a real award show. And Bowen was feeling a certain way and because, because we had written this thing.
37:59 Speaker 02 We had written this thing.
38:00 Speaker 01 And then it was sent out, whatever. And then we were like, but is it funny? For this to be the only genuine one.
38:07 Speaker 02 And I think so because, I mean, whatever. This person wins, this person's name gets called. And then on the monitor, on the assembly cut, it cuts to this person in the audience just closing their eyes and not getting up, just like soaking.
38:24 Speaker 01 It's Stacy.
38:26 Speaker 05 It's Stacy.
38:26 Speaker 01 It's Stacy Rush and she was perfect.
38:28 Speaker 02 And she's my favorite.
38:30 Speaker 05 And let me be clear, no, she is, she revived, she saved Potomac.
38:33 Speaker 01 Basically, like, what happened was, I was like, let her do her genuine thanks, and then she's gonna get it by the time we get to her awards. She's like, she's gonna do the awards copy that we wrote. And she did. It was a little bit of, you know, genuine thanks, and she nailed it.
38:49 Speaker 02 No, iconic for her to get up on that stage and think Bravo execs. Iconic.
38:54 Speaker 05 Yeah, the reps, the agency shout out, I mean, like, I was glad to hear that she was so thoroughly wrapped. You know, she has a team.
39:02 Speaker 01 Across the board.
39:03 Speaker 05 She has a team, you know, and that's-
39:04 Speaker 02 She's talent, she's literal talent.
39:06 Speaker 01 By the way, it was as if the theme was, remember that Bowen Yang is a boob gay.
39:13 Speaker 02 I'm a boob-
39:13 Speaker 01 I'm telling you, there was so much boob on display at the Los Cultures, Racist Culture Awards. I said, they knew-
39:19 Speaker 02 Good boobs.
39:20 Speaker 01 That Bowen was co-hosting the show. Because Stacy Rush, for her to show up-
39:24 Speaker 02 In that dress.
39:25 Speaker 01 On display, on display, to quote another Bravo legend.
39:29 Speaker 02 On display, on display.
39:31 Speaker 01 That was as if it was made for you in your dreams.
39:33 Speaker 02 I mean, we were karate chopped by Miss Piggy. Meanwhile, the thing that impacted me the most all night was standing at that stage during a stop down, looking out in the audience, Stacy Rush locking eyes with me and going- And I was like, oh! I adore her.
39:51 Speaker 01 Why wouldn't she love you? You ride so hard, so publicly.
39:55 Speaker 05 And the thing is about her, is she always zigs a little bit when you think she's gonna zag. Like, she, I was on the carpet-
40:01 Speaker 01 Like all the greats.
40:02 Speaker 05 We were on the carpet, and JM actually overheard this. She was asked, like, what are you watching these days? And she said, Real Housewives of Potomac, Real Housewives of Atlanta. Okay, okay. And then, out of nowhere, the third thing she lists is-
40:17 Speaker 02 Flirt with-
40:17 Speaker 05 And Ratatouille. Ratatouille. Whenever I'm in the mood for something French, I need to, I sit down and I check in with Ratatouille.
40:27 Speaker 02 She is-
40:28 Speaker 05 Again, this is what makes her so fucking fantastic. It's like, of course the housewife is gonna say the other housewife franchises.
40:34 Speaker 01 Real Housewives of Potomac, Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Ratatouille.
40:40 Speaker 02 It's
40:42 Speaker 02 When I'm in the mood for something French.
40:43 Speaker 05 Yes.
40:44 Speaker 02 I check in with Ratatouille.
40:45 Speaker 05 It is, I mean, that is why she, like, these other women, these other women.
40:51 Speaker 01 They're not getting it like Stacy is getting it.
40:53 Speaker 05 She has risen.
40:54 Speaker 01 She has risen. Still she rise.
40:56 Speaker 05 You know?
40:56 Speaker 02 And she, her first season and her confessional, the thing that made her a star was she goes, "Come to my planet." Fabulous.
41:04 Speaker 01 Fabulous.
41:05 Speaker 02 She knows she's an alien.
41:06 Speaker 01 Yeah.
41:07 Speaker 05 Yes.
41:07 Speaker 02 Yes.
41:07 Speaker 05 Yes.
41:08 Speaker 01 But it is true, like, the cut to Stacy, who, by the way, everyone that comes to the Colts Awards fully knows they're winning, and just like the reception of...
41:17 Speaker 02 Full, like, three seconds in the chair.
41:19 Speaker 01 But thank God.
41:19 Speaker 05 Thank God.
41:20 Speaker 01 That makes me think, maybe she gets it more than everyone else.
41:23 Speaker 02 I think she does.
41:24 Speaker 05 No.
41:24 Speaker 01 See, that's the thing, is I was like, but, you know, I understand we want her to do the, just the comedic copy, but devil's advocate.
41:32 Speaker 05 Yeah.
41:32 Speaker 01 What if it's Stacy's role and we're living it?
41:34 Speaker 05 It was a ride, because you're sort of sitting there waiting for the, the, what's the game here? And then you're like, oh, oh no, there's nothing, there is no P, there's no comedic period here. And then, and then we, and then we, and then that started being funny.
41:51 Speaker 02 Yeah.
41:51 Speaker 05 And just when you're comfortable and laughing at that, she does do the comedic copy, and you're like, oh, so, what?
41:58 Speaker 02 What?
41:59 Speaker 01 Well, the best was the stand-in earlier that day, reading her German speech.
42:06 Speaker 02 Steven Arabella, she's like...
42:09 Speaker 05 Yeah.
42:09 Speaker 02 And, and Timo.
42:11 Speaker 05 Yeah.
42:11 Speaker 02 And then, and I just love the fact that she is up in all of these interviews going, "Well, there, there is a, there is a, there is the worst person that I would kick out of Potomac, Giselle." She would, she liked names, names, constantly.
42:27 Speaker 05 She's, and she's, yeah, she's a delight. The other housewife, I think, who won the night, again, is, say what you will about her, feel what you will about her, on the show.
42:36 Speaker 02 Oh.
42:37 Speaker 05 Lisa Rinna is a chameleon.
42:39 Speaker 01 Yeah.
42:40 Speaker 05 The physicality of those... Looks, I mean, it was so crazy. The Billie Eilish.
42:45 Speaker 01 Yeah, amazing.
42:47 Speaker 05 Took my breath away.
42:48 Speaker 01 Well, also shout out to like.
42:50 Speaker 02 Seth, sure enough.
42:51 Speaker 01 Costumes, like the entire hair and makeup department.
42:56 Speaker 05 Every single one a fully realized character physically and like it was, it was remarkable to see. And I told her that and Meg Stalter said this.
43:05 Speaker 02 Yes.
43:05 Speaker 05 Did you hear this? I think I maybe told you at the after party, Lisa Rinna, oh, Mary.
43:10 Speaker 01 Oh, wouldn't that be great?
43:12 Speaker 05 Yes. I mean, if we're gonna have a housewife, do it.
43:15 Speaker 01 Absolutely. I think Lisa Rinna would pull box office numbers.
43:19 Speaker 05 I think so too.
43:19 Speaker 02 And she's, and she loves Broadway.
43:21 Speaker 05 Yeah.
43:21 Speaker 01 She's done it.
43:22 Speaker 02 The first, she's done it. The first place we met was at, um, Sweeney Todd. And she loves the theater. Lisa Rinna, when she was blocking the Billie Eilish moment from the beginning, she was just crawling up on stage on the stairs.
43:35 Speaker 01 Yeah.
43:35 Speaker 02 And then like afterwards, like I go up to her separately and Celeste goes up to her separately. But I said, like, you're doing like clowning. You realize this? And then Celeste tells her, you're doing like commedia. Do you realize this? Both of us, she goes, really? Doesn't.
43:51 Speaker 01 Huh, huh, wow.
43:54 Speaker 02 It's so natural. It comes so naturally to her. It's not, it doesn't have to be studied.
43:58 Speaker 01 The best part of the whole night for us, well, that's, that's hyperbolic, but a highlight of the night was, we're backstage, it's the end of the show, Simone and Lisa Rinna are gonna present record of the year. And the bit is that Simone, who's been calling and like, you know, like, you know, like.
44:17 Speaker 02 Narrating.
44:17 Speaker 01 Narrating the looks all night is gonna announce, here comes Rinna in the winning look. And it's Lisa Rinna as Jeff Probst for the last 50 seasons of Survivor. So Rinna comes out with, like she's coming back from tribal council. She's in the blue shirt, her hair is slicked back, she looks like Jeff. She puts it down, she stands there, basked in the standing ovation that she gets just for looking like Jeff. And she just goes. Fifty fucking seasons! Give it up!
44:44 Speaker 05 Give it up!
44:45 Speaker 01 Get on your feet! It became a moment for Jeff Probst and Survivor, and he wasn't even there. I mean, she's just like, I mean, come on!
44:54 Speaker 05 Come on!
44:55 Speaker 01 Fifty seasons!
44:56 Speaker 05 I know, and she's, she's, you know, oftentimes, she hypes up people that are villainous and, and should be, you know.
45:04 Speaker 01 I'm not mad at Jeff anymore.
45:06 Speaker 05 Why?
45:07 Speaker 01 Because, because my thing with Jeff is he's family.
45:09 Speaker 05 Yes, of course.
45:10 Speaker 01 And
45:10 Speaker 05 We love him.
45:11 Speaker 01 Here's the thing. I think that when you take it all into account at the end of the day, fifty was a really fun season.
45:19 Speaker 05 It was incredible.
45:20 Speaker 01 Am I mad at them?
45:21 Speaker 05 Sure.
45:22 Speaker 01 For certain choices that they made?
45:23 Speaker 05 Billie Eilish and
45:24 Speaker 01 Like, but the Billie Eilish boomerang idol ended up being fun. Like, I think that we were all like, ugh, like, it was consternating while it was happening. The only thing I really could have left was the Zac Brown of it all.
45:36 Speaker 05 Sure.
45:36 Speaker 01 Because we left the narrative to follow his.
45:39 Speaker 05 Well, also, and the Mr. Beast.
45:41 Speaker 01 Mr. Beast ended up being fun because it was, then it became two million dollars.
45:45 Speaker 05 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is, how have we not caught on that he's the Antichrist? He is so likable, and he's doing all these amazing things, and his name is literally Mr. Beast.
45:57 Speaker 01 Yeah, sometimes the devil tells you right away.
45:59 Speaker 05 It's supposed to, and it's like, I just think, you know, he's sticking babies in, in refrigerators to see how long they last.
46:07 Speaker 01 Is that happening?
46:08 Speaker 05 No. That's like example
46:10 Speaker 01 Allegedly.
46:11 Speaker 05 That I made up.
46:11 Speaker 01 Again, the title of this episode is all caps, allegedly.
46:15 Speaker 05 Did you, recently in an interview, he was like, I mean, at the end of the day, I only have a million dollars to my name. Like, if you take away, like, I guess Liquid, he only has a million dollars.
46:25 Speaker 01 You've got, you've got Mr. Beast.
46:26 Speaker 05 No, I don't, I don't.
46:27 Speaker 01 You need to go back to the show.
46:28 Speaker 05 I need to.
46:28 Speaker 01 Lauren.
46:29 Speaker 05 Lauren, I've got a Mr. Beast.
46:30 Speaker 01 What if you showed up for the auditions for SNL last year with a Mr. Beast?
46:34 Speaker 05 If I showed, if I re-auditioned for the show, I was already on to a Mr. Beast.
46:38 Speaker 01 Just be like, I think that I was, I was doing Lost Coach, I was, I sort of started to do a Mr. Beast, and I said, I want to go back to SNL.
46:47 Speaker 05 Yeah.
46:47 Speaker 01 And I come back too.
46:48 Speaker 05 That would be iconic.
46:49 Speaker 01 And they sent me away again.
46:50 Speaker 05 No, actually, they bring you both on, but you can only appear on together.
46:55 Speaker 02 Sure.
46:56 Speaker 05 And so you're the first duo cast member that must only appear together.
47:00 Speaker 02 Oh, that's fab. That's phenomenal.
47:02 Speaker 01 And we get paid scale. If to split scale.
47:05 Speaker 05 We split scale, yeah.
47:06 Speaker 02 Twenty-five hundred per episode.
47:08 Speaker 01 Yeah, Rinna is, Rinna is an absolute legend. I did think that she was yet again a highlight. We should probably just talk about Rachel Zegler too.
47:17 Speaker 05 I was just about to bring her up because it was the one portion of the evening where I wasn't thinking about what my face looked like on camera. Because I was just sitting there slacked off like.
47:26 Speaker 01 Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable.
47:29 Speaker 05 I mean, it's so crazy. And then it's remarkable. And try to hate her. Like, really, like, try.
47:35 Speaker 01 Oh, yeah, no.
47:36 Speaker 05 Sit there, sit there, listen to Angelic Voice and try to hate her.
47:40 Speaker 02 When you shame her, it makes her want it more.
47:43 Speaker 05 Yeah. No.
47:43 Speaker 02 And the words of Addison Rae.
47:45 Speaker 05 That was incredible. And then you had boy Rachel Zegler sing Smelly Cat. And it was like,
47:51 Speaker 01 Rachel Zegler.
47:51 Speaker 05 Incredible. Like, he is fantastic and like, really turned that into, I mean, you had the puppet, the Bob.
48:00 Speaker 02 Bob Baker Marionettes?
48:01 Speaker 05 Baker Marionettes and like, the gospel choir. I didn't realize that song had more than one verse.
48:07 Speaker 01 Rachel, Rachel Zegler was backstage and Hannah Einbinder was accepting her award. She was like, I love her. I've never met her. I was like, oh, you guys would get along great. We should all take a picture and bring Joel back here. I'd be like, the DNC hates us.
48:22 Speaker 01 Let's all get together.
48:24 Speaker 02 And then Hannah, during her speech, finishes it by quoting Born This Way.
48:28 Speaker 01 Yeah.
48:28 Speaker 02 And then Rachel goes, love this girl. Love this girl. Thank God for this girl. From me, the last Chromatica defender. Pulls out her phone. She still has a Chromatica phone case.
48:38 Speaker 05 Wow.
48:39 Speaker 02 She's a gay guy.
48:39 Speaker 05 I would still go.
48:41 Speaker 01 Would you still go to Chromatica?
48:42 Speaker 02 I would still go to Chromatica. My name is Annette.
48:44 Speaker 05 I'm not tired of Rain on Me.
48:46 Speaker 01 I'm not tired of pretty much anything on that album.
48:48 Speaker 05 I'm not tired of Rain on Me?
48:50 Speaker 01 You're not tired of Padam?
48:51 Speaker 05 Play it all. Play it all.
48:53 Speaker 02 Did you watch, did you watch the Kylie documentary?
48:54 Speaker 05 I have not yet.
48:55 Speaker 02 Fantastic documentary. She is the best that we have.
49:00 Speaker 01 A lot of it is like her, like, talking about how the gay community basically, like, lit a fire. She was kind of one of the first to really know, I'm for the gays and that is not a pejorative. It's this huge strength and I am going to support and love this community back the way they're supporting and loving me. And I'm not going to pretend that I'm like on a lower level because I'm entertaining this audience. For me, Run Away With Me is like as special as Dancing On My Own.
49:31 Speaker 02 Yes, like, like, and to millennial, to the millennial consciousness, I think Run Away With Me and Cut To The Feeling are both very important.
49:38 Speaker 01 And I also want to say, I know that it's not like as important as Dancing On My Own. I know that Dancing On My Own has its own thing. I'm saying if the world were fair, Run Away With Me would be a hit like that size. Same way I feel about Thunder by Jessie J, which I was singing around Fraser and he was like, yeah, that's every gay guy in London and England. That was like a huge hit in the UK, like across the board. It wasn't just for gay. And I was like, that album that Thunder was on didn't even come out in America. That's how done dirty Jessie J was done at the time by everyone in America. The gays don't even necessarily know Thunder.
50:18 Speaker 02 Yeah. The gays, so this, I think this is what is maybe happening. The labels are always the ones who like cut these girls off at the knees.
50:27 Speaker 01 It is.
50:27 Speaker 02 And the gays are the ones who are like, but wait a minute, what's over here? Like, we, like, we always, I feel like we do a good job of closing, like, zeroing in on the good things.
50:35 Speaker 05 Absolutely.
50:36 Speaker 01 I'm just gonna say it, the who, whatever, whatever label Demi was with, did not do right by her on their, on this last album.
50:44 Speaker 02 Well, famously, I think.
50:46 Speaker 01 It's crazy.
50:47 Speaker 05 Jessie J, um, done so dirty by the awful fucking people behind The Wicked movie. Because we all saw the bootleg audition of her singing Defying Gravity in her basement that she released briefly. And then you know her reps made her take it down. Um, incredible, um.
51:06 Speaker 02 I'm sorry, would you want me to apologize?
51:08 Speaker 05 I would.
51:09 Speaker 02 I'm sorry that I personally leaked the Jesse, or that I personally barred her from releasing.
51:14 Speaker 01 You knew that if Jesse J. played Elphaba, you wouldn't get your shine.
51:18 Speaker 05 Yeah, you wouldn't.
51:20 Speaker 01 Because Jesse.
51:21 Speaker 02 I can't be, I can't be a comedic foil to Jesse J. the way that I can't with Cynthia.
51:29 Speaker 01 Were you even really a comedic foil to Cynthia?
51:31 Speaker 02 No, absolutely not.
51:32 Speaker 01 You were a comedic foil to Arianna.
51:34 Speaker 02 Arianna? No, I feel like I was.
51:36 Speaker 01 Ariana.
51:37 Speaker 02 We really grew a piece of a pod.
51:38 Speaker 05 Did you have interaction? You did have it in the beginning of the school.
51:41 Speaker 01 They spoke.
51:41 Speaker 05 Yeah, yeah, they spoke.
51:42 Speaker 01 Elphaba and Fanny spoke.
51:43 Speaker 05 We were at school together.
51:44 Speaker 01 Yeah.
51:45 Speaker 05 What is it, lunch?
51:45 Speaker 03 At school.
51:46 Speaker 02 At school. No, I gave Elphaba her hat.
51:50 Speaker 05 That's right.
51:51 Speaker 02 Or I, it was.
51:51 Speaker 05 Canonically.
51:52 Speaker 01 You gave it to Glinda. Oh, my god.
51:58 Speaker 02 It's Cynthia.
51:59 Speaker 01 It was Elphaba, ma.
52:01 Speaker 02 This is the work of the wicked witch.
52:02 Speaker 01 It was Elphaba, ma.
52:03 Speaker 02 No, no, no, I don't give, I don't give Elphaba the hat. It's, I give it to Ari.
52:07 Speaker 01 And then she was so cruel.
52:09 Speaker 02 To that.
52:09 Speaker 01 I, that was my one big problem with Wicked. I just thought it was so cruel that, that Glinda gave her the hat.
52:16 Speaker 05 It was really.
52:17 Speaker 01 That was so cruel and I thought that.
52:19 Speaker 05 Kids are watching.
52:20 Speaker 01 I just thought, who would do that?
52:21 Speaker 05 Kids are watching.
52:22 Speaker 02 Kids are watching.
52:23 Speaker 01 Yeah.
52:24 Speaker 02 And that's your, that's your one problem with the movie.
52:26 Speaker 01 Then she became wicked.
52:29 Speaker 05 Well, my second problem with the movie, if I can get real, is the treatment of the animals on set.
52:36 Speaker 01 That was so cruel.
52:37 Speaker 05 Like, it was out, like, watching it.
52:40 Speaker 02 They were very, they were very difficult.
52:42 Speaker 01 They looked very thirsty.
52:44 Speaker 02 They were difficult and they were very entitled coming in because it was their first big job. But we go, this, the culture's changed. We don't, now get, hit your mark, little bear.
52:55 Speaker 01 You are a second-class citizen.
52:57 Speaker 05 No, that, um, that, the, the nurse bear was, was the picture for our group chat in LA.
53:05 Speaker 01 Oh.
53:06 Speaker 05 I wanted more Dulce Bear.
53:07 Speaker 01 Dulce Bear's Grigio girls we were.
53:09 Speaker 05 Dulce Bear's Grigio girls.
53:10 Speaker 02 What is it about? I, I might, I might be. I've had a thing with the animals. You're a furry. I might be flirting with furry. I think they would welcome you with a box. Oh, I'm sure. No, they're very wonderful. Yeah, exactly. I think that they. And that's a green flag? Yeah.
53:27 Speaker 01 We had dinner with a bear last night. I was into it.
53:30 Speaker 02 When we did, when we shot Family Feud, there was a furry, there was a furry convention in the same hotel as the one they had us staying at for Family Feud. And we, and Patty, of course, was like, well, let's, let's just go to the event. And I was like, I don't think we're allowed to just like go in there and observe. You don't think so? I don't think they would want like a bunch of people not in furry gear.
53:52 Speaker 01 Well, guess what? Buy a hat and join the fray. You know what I mean? It's just for a night. Like, what? You're not perverted enough for that? Yeah, I've seen you perverting all over the country.
54:01 Speaker 02 That is true. That is true. I do pervert. I pervert across the country. That's the name of my next tour. Pervert across the country. That's a great name. Yeah.
54:12 Speaker 02 This ad is sponsored by Vive Healthcare. Time for some prep wisdom.
54:16 Speaker 01 But first, some common sense, people. Everyone is different. Everyone. Yes, even you. Yes, even your situationship.
54:23 Speaker 02 Especially your situationship. And just like people, injectable prep options, not all the same.
54:29 Speaker 01 That's why you need to talk to your doctor and know what to ask. So here's some prep wisdom.
54:33 Speaker 02 Did you know there's more to consider about long-acting injectable prep options than how often you get it? Also, why you want to take it matters. Your lifestyle matters, your routine, your chaos level, your I might forget my own birthday energy. All of it counts.
54:46 Speaker 01 Basically, talk to your doctor. Have the conversation, ask the questions, be a little nosey about your own health. It's allowed, encouraged even. Okay, did you write all that down?
54:55 Speaker 02 No.
54:56 Speaker 01 Don't worry.

56:41 Speaker 02 They're sailing the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, obviously, but now they've added the West Coast and Alaska. So whether you want golden hour off California or full cinematic glacier core main character energy, they said, range.
56:54 Speaker 01 And the awards. At this point, it's less award-winning cruise line and more, do we just engrave their name on the trophy? They've won so many travel awards, the ships might sweep our culture awards. Slay of the sea, excellence in poolside looks, outstanding achievement in top-deck behavior.

57:31 Speaker 02 Introducing M&M's Caramel You Already Love, now popped into a total Totally new texture.
57:36 Speaker 01 I'd say M and M's are one of those truly iconic snacks.
57:39 Speaker 02 They've just launched a brand new freeze dried innovation that brings a whole new vibe to the M and M lineup.
57:45 Speaker 01 I mean, come on. What's not to love about M and M's?
57:49 Speaker 02 And if it's freeze dried, I feel like I'm in space. M and M's continues to be that girl. The crunch is unexpected in the best way.
57:58 Speaker 01 Way crisper than you'd think. Like you bite into one and there's the little pop that you don't see coming from something that still tastes like classic M and M's caramel.
58:07 Speaker 02 Sure, they don't look exactly like the M and M's you know, but they are the M and M's you love. They're perfect for snacking when watching television, scrolling on your phone, or settling in for a movie.
58:16 Speaker 01 And I'm already thinking they'll be great to have on hand while watching the Culture Awards.
58:21 Speaker 02 Yes. The best part is they've got that classic M and M's caramel flavor. It's available in stores now. What's, um, what's the best, what's the city in Canada with the best gays?
58:35 Speaker 05 I think in terms of-
58:38 Speaker 02 And then we'll move to the US.
58:38 Speaker 05 Hot, hot, Montreal. Vibe, Vancouver.
58:43 Speaker 02 Yes!
58:43 Speaker 01 Where does Toronto stand?
58:45 Speaker 05 Vancouver, 100%. I think there's a reason why we use Toronto to shoot a lot of other places. And that's all I'll say.
58:53 Speaker 02 I'm talking about the gays.
58:54 Speaker 05 I know.
58:55 Speaker 02 I think-
58:56 Speaker 05 But I think that the reasons we shoot in other places extends to the gay population.
59:01 Speaker 01 Well, you know what? I have a, I have a soft spot in my heart for Toronto because there's like two or three men that live in Toronto that before I die, I have to have sex with.
59:11 Speaker 02 I, yes.
59:11 Speaker 01 And they all live in Toronto.
59:13 Speaker 02 I know who the ones you're talking about.
59:14 Speaker 01 Do you?
59:17 Speaker 02 No.
59:18 Speaker 01 No, I don't, I don't think I've met them. But they sound hot.
59:22 Speaker 02 They're the hottest.
59:23 Speaker 01 Give me a taste of that.
59:24 Speaker 05 Fat, uncut cock.
59:25 Speaker 01 Let me tell you, you want to send me flaccid?
59:28 Speaker 02 They're so sweet.
59:28 Speaker 01 You want, you want a Wes Wilson in it?
59:30 Speaker 05 No, I will say, listen.
59:33 Speaker 05 What I said about Toronto just now, I think is actually a better example of shade than than the one that I began with.
59:39 Speaker 01 Do you know what I just realized?
59:41 Speaker 05 All I'm saying is-
59:41 Speaker 02 Yes, yes.
59:42 Speaker 01 Wes Wilson.
59:43 Speaker 02 Flip it around. Wicked witch! Madam Morable.
59:49 Speaker 01 Madam Morable.
59:50 Speaker 02 Flip it around. Wes Wilson!
59:53 Speaker 05 Amazing.
59:53 Speaker 01 Oh my god.
59:54 Speaker 05 Wait, when does this come out?
59:56 Speaker 01 June 27th? No. So, June 12th, no, June 10th, Adam Shankman, June 17th, Mindy Kaling, June 24th, Peppermint, June 31st.
1:00:10 Speaker 02 July 1st.
1:00:11 Speaker 01 July 1st.
1:00:12 Speaker 02 Gilken Booster.
1:00:13 Speaker 01 July 1st, Gilken Booster. So, thank god, Pride Month is over. You have to take back all that shit you said.
1:00:19 Speaker 05 You don't understand. It's a gauntlet for us to go from May API-
1:00:25 Speaker 02 And to-
1:00:25 Speaker 05 Into Pride. And by the way, May also Mental Health Awareness Month, so for me, it's a hat on a hat on a hat.
1:00:32 Speaker 02 Girl, they are putting you on panels.
1:00:33 Speaker 05 I'm exhausted.
1:00:34 Speaker 02 I think Toronto has wonderful gays.
1:00:37 Speaker 05 Yes, no.
1:00:37 Speaker 01 They do, they do.
1:00:38 Speaker 05 They do. I was just there a Halloween or so ago.
1:00:41 Speaker 02 Yes.
1:00:41 Speaker 05 Wonderful gays.
1:00:43 Speaker 02 I have not, even though I grew up there, I have not gone to revisit Montreal in a meaningful way now that I am in my sort of, now that I'm sexually overripe.
1:00:52 Speaker 01 And also, our excuse to go every year was, um-
1:00:55 Speaker 05 JFL. And I'm going back.
1:00:56 Speaker 01 JFL. Oh, is it, is it back to being a thing?
1:00:58 Speaker 05 But now it's owned, I think, by like a private, like-
1:01:01 Speaker 01 Private equity.
1:01:02 Speaker 05 Yeah, so it's no longer being subsidized by the government, which, good. Good. Good.
1:01:10 Speaker 01 We weren't doing anything worth the government subsidization.
1:01:14 Speaker 05 Um-
1:01:14 Speaker 01 Subsidization.
1:01:15 Speaker 05 I was.
1:01:16 Speaker 02 You certainly were.
1:01:16 Speaker 01 Yeah, you were.
1:01:17 Speaker 05 I have to pee again. Listen.
1:01:18 Speaker 01 Again?
1:01:19 Speaker 05 I turned the old, the, turning 38, I am an aisle seat girly for life now. My bladder, the elasticity is nil now, apparently.
1:01:30 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
1:01:30 Speaker 05 So it doesn't expand.
1:01:32 Speaker 01 Are you, are you, I'm just gonna say it. Are you getting banged?
1:01:37 Speaker 05 Oh, it's not by that. No, it's not, it's not because of that.
1:01:40 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:01:40 Speaker 05 And, and that comes in like- No, it couldn't be that. It couldn't be that. Go to the bathroom. The thing about being verse is that you can be like, "I'm not doing that anymore. I'm gonna switch."
1:01:55 Speaker 01 Yeah. Wait, what do you mean?
1:01:57 Speaker 05 Like, if you're getting banged out, to the point of like having to piss all the time.
1:02:02 Speaker 01 That's probably not good.
1:02:03 Speaker 05 It's not good, but you could just go, "Well, let me, let me switch, let me, let me talk."
1:02:06 Speaker 01 Oh god, that would feel so good, though.
1:02:10 Speaker 01 Oh yeah, Doug? You gonna tell us all about how the prostate's involved? Tell us all about gay sex.
1:02:20 Speaker 01 If there wasn't a mic here right now, I would ask you if you've explored the butt sexually. And I didn't even ask, and yet we got the answer.
1:02:30 Speaker 05 And you volunteered.
1:02:31 Speaker 01 He has not. I said, "If there were not mics here, I would have asked." So you volunteered that information. Maybe you should explore the butt. I'm not gonna look you in the eye when I ask.
1:02:42 Speaker 05 It doesn't make you anything. It just makes you someone with a human body.
1:02:45 Speaker 01 It makes you powerful, actually.
1:02:46 Speaker 05 With nerve endings.
1:02:47 Speaker 01 Yeah. I think that, well, I always ask my straight female friends, like, "Did you put a finger in your husband's ass?" And I think the honest ones say yes.
1:02:55 Speaker 05 That's cause... I just walked in for that.
1:02:57 Speaker 01 Well, and, yeah.
1:02:59 Speaker 05 Have you put a finger in your husband's ass is on par with, "Why is there a penis on your dead girl's phone?" Why is there a penis on a dead girl's phone?
1:03:07 Speaker 01 Why is your penis on a dead girl's phone?
1:03:10 Speaker 05 Um, I have a literal segment on my podcast because I have to pee in the middle of it. Even though I pee before, I have to pee in the middle, and I leave the room and I say, "Talk about how this is going for you." And then I come back, and I get so mad when they've cut it out. And they go, "Joel, well, they didn't say anything funny." And I'm like, "How will they learn?"
1:03:28 Speaker 01 It doesn't matter.
1:03:29 Speaker 05 How will they learn if they don't hear themselves be boring as fuck?
1:03:32 Speaker 01 Oh, that is a huge part of the self-development in the current, in the modern age is like, can you literally just, just flack your gums with no one else around?
1:03:42 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:03:43 Speaker 01 Which sounds crazy, but it's true. I mean, I.
1:03:47 Speaker 02 I mean, you can disagree with me.
1:03:48 Speaker 01 Uh, uh, you what? That, that the barometer is?
1:03:51 Speaker 02 No, that like, that it's actually like a somewhat useful skill set to just be like, can, can I sit with myself and just like, express my own thoughts without like, looking at a fucking phone? Or like, you know what I mean?
1:04:01 Speaker 01 I have done.
1:04:02 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, it's great.
1:04:03 Speaker 01 Yeah. Did you meet Cooper?
1:04:04 Speaker 05 I have come across.
1:04:06 Speaker 02 Cooper?
1:04:07 Speaker 01 What's going on with you right now?
1:04:08 Speaker 05 Cooper and I have come across each other.
1:04:10 Speaker 02 Oh my god, I love him.
1:04:11 Speaker 01 What's going on with you pet wise?
1:04:13 Speaker 05 Um, we are planning on getting a dog, um, as sort of a trial run for children eventually. Uh, and just to get us home, you know? Although I will say now, I am like, we're, we don't go out or leave as much as we used to. Um, that is like, maybe the one thing that's changed since marriage. I don't know for any specific reason, but it is just like, I would rather stay at home and play Lego Batman with him.
1:04:38 Speaker 01 I just, I, I'm, I've always wondered how you could get home at six and then start a television show.
1:04:46 Speaker 05 Six PM?
1:04:47 Speaker 01 Yeah, six AM.
1:04:48 Speaker 05 Oh, I mean, that we do a lot of the time.
1:04:50 Speaker 01 Y'all, y'all would be going, going, going. And then I remembered you had, you guys were watching, I love that for you, at 5:45 AM.
1:04:56 Speaker 05 Yep.
1:04:56 Speaker 01 And I was like, girl, what? He was like, just finished episode six. I was like, what? So I guess, yeah, now that's been years ago too.
1:05:06 Speaker 05 Yeah, I think like, we just, um, I don't sleep, like, in general. Um, and he sleeps, uh, like, like, he'll get a full night's rest periodically throughout the day.
1:05:18 Speaker 02 Yeah.
1:05:19 Speaker 05 Um, and so then.
1:05:20 Speaker 02 Naps.
1:05:21 Speaker 05 Yeah, and, yeah, it's just, um, we, I really, it's, there's like, an 11 year old mentality around weekends for us, where we're like, we can stay up as late as we want.
1:05:33 Speaker 02 That's nice.
1:05:34 Speaker 05 Um, yeah, but it is like dumb when it's like, we've just been home. Like, it makes, it's like, slightly more forgivable when we've like, arrived home from a party at 4 AM, and then we're winding down. But it's like, bitch, we've been winded down.
1:05:46 Speaker 02 Yeah.
1:05:47 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:05:47 Speaker 05 Um, and we're still turning on the television as the sun is rising.
1:05:50 Speaker 02 But, but the TV is turning on because sleep isn't really an option? Or it's like, it's just not gonna happen for the two of you.
1:05:58 Speaker 05 It's just not gonna happen.
1:05:59 Speaker 02 Yeah.
1:05:59 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:06:00 Speaker 02 That's interesting. Dog is going to help that?
1:06:03 Speaker 05 I think, um, dog is just gonna force us to regulate a little bit more. Um, because that's the one thing that changed after the wedding is like, our relationship hasn't changed. But the way I think about the future now is much different than the way I thought about the future before. Cause I am sort of, I am like constantly like, oh God, if, when we have kids, like, we really can't do this. Or like, we gotta make some lifestyle changes before we have the children.
1:06:27 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
1:06:27 Speaker 05 Um.
1:06:28 Speaker 02 Well, it's right on, it's synced up with the fact that like, bars are not really happening.
1:06:32 Speaker 05 Oh, no.
1:06:33 Speaker 02 The way that they were, they used to.
1:06:34 Speaker 05 No, no, no.
1:06:35 Speaker 02 I feel like there's maybe fatigue around party culture.
1:06:37 Speaker 05 I think so. I think more and more, I think a lot of people are. And, you know, there's, I think there's a myriad of reasons for it. I don't think it's one thing, but like, I think we're also aging out of it too.
1:06:49 Speaker 02 Yeah.
1:06:49 Speaker 05 Which is like scary to say, but, um, Jam surprisingly is a tempering influence on me because we, I, this is what, like this year, um, he went to Joshua Tree for Memorial Day and I went to Palm Springs for the first two days of, of Thursday, Friday. And then left on Saturday to meet him in Joshua Tree. I got there on Thursday, did not sleep until Saturday morning and was fine.
1:07:12 Speaker 02 Cause vacation is when I released the beast too.
1:07:15 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:07:15 Speaker 02 Yeah.
1:07:16 Speaker 05 It, well, and it is just like, what are you looking for?
1:07:18 Speaker 02 Right.
1:07:19 Speaker 05 You know, what am I looking for? I think it like, I, when now that, like, we spend so few, there's very little vacations that like, we won't be together for. And so I think there was like an element of like, dad's not home, I can do, you know, and, but then it just likes, it's, it's bad. Like, literally, my thing is, is like, I'm speaking directly to the listener and you know who you are. You could either jerk off now leisurely pace, like a king. Or you can scroll on Grindr for four hours, strike out and then jerk off angrily.
1:07:55 Speaker 02 Oh. Yeah, and it comes out like this.
1:08:00 Speaker 05 Those are your options. And every time I choose the wrong one.
1:08:05 Speaker 05 Every time.
1:08:05 Speaker 02 No, I, I, I'm with you and I feel like crazy. Let's just go back for a second and talk about the way Matt decided to voice act.
1:08:17 Speaker 05 Coming, coming to Pixar this fall.
1:08:23 Speaker 01 It's a story of blip blip, a little piece of cum after a long night out.
1:08:27 Speaker 05 Hey, listen, I was a Look Who's Talking family, so I've been anthropomorphizing cum for a long time.
1:08:33 Speaker 01 I was a Look Who's Talking family as well, and I don't say two because Look Who's Talking two.
1:08:40 Speaker 05 Yeah, confusing.
1:08:40 Speaker 02 How would they anthropomorphize cum?
1:08:42 Speaker 01 Because the first opening, opening scene was like basically showing in it.
1:08:48 Speaker 05 Travolta like being like, I'm gonna get there first, I'm gonna get there first.
1:08:51 Speaker 01 Yeah, it's an impregnant, it's an impregnation, what's it?
1:08:56 Speaker 05 It's an impregnation? That can't be right.
1:08:59 Speaker 01 What's the word I'm thinking of? Impregnation? It's an impregnate.
1:09:03 Speaker 05 You impregnate, impregnate.
1:09:04 Speaker 01 Impregnation, so what we're watching is an impregnation.
1:09:07 Speaker 05 That is, that is a TLC show if I've ever heard it. Impregnation.
1:09:11 Speaker 01 Am I making up a word impregnation?
1:09:13 Speaker 04 Yeah, because it's just impregnate.
1:09:14 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:09:14 Speaker 01 Oh, yeah.
1:09:16 Speaker 04 I'm gonna impregnate you.
1:09:17 Speaker 01 Yeah, but you'd be watching an impregnation.
1:09:21 Speaker 04 I guess so.
1:09:23 Speaker 01 Can you look it up?
1:09:24 Speaker 05 I think it's easier to just agree.
1:09:25 Speaker 01 I M P R E G N A T I O N is the fake word.
1:09:30 Speaker 05 Find out what it means to me.
1:09:32 Speaker 04 No, that's a real word.
1:09:33 Speaker 01 Yes!
1:09:34 Speaker 05 Whoa, shock of the century.
1:09:37 Speaker 04 The act of impregnating.
1:09:38 Speaker 01 Yeah, impregnation, so we witnessed an impregnation at the beginning of Look Who's Talking, and that was what Joel was referencing. Now, and Joel, and Joel, Joel is not John Travolta, John Travolta plays the cum like, hey, I'm doing the, and then Kirstie Alley is the egg like, ow, ow, ow.
1:09:57 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:09:57 Speaker 02 Now, I just have to say it's crazy that dicks do that.
1:10:03 Speaker 01 Do what?
1:10:04 Speaker 02 That they, that they.
1:10:05 Speaker 01 Shoot cum?
1:10:05 Speaker 02 Pump, not only shoot.
1:10:07 Speaker 05 Pump, pump, pump it out.
1:10:08 Speaker 02 But there's like a pumping sort of apparatus in our cartilage.
1:10:12 Speaker 05 Well, here's my question, you get the vasectomy. You still cum? And it's like, then what is cum? Then what is it?
1:10:21 Speaker 01 What is cum?
1:10:22 Speaker 05 It don't hurt me.
1:10:23 Speaker 01 If it's not sperm.
1:10:27 Speaker 05 No, I literally have a joke in my special where I'm like, I, I, I used to grow up thinking I'm gonna get a vasectomy and it's gonna be dust.
1:10:33 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:10:34 Speaker 05 And.
1:10:35 Speaker 02 And it's not, I'm so stupid. I don't know this.
1:10:37 Speaker 05 No, it still looks like regular come.
1:10:39 Speaker 02 That's great.
1:10:40 Speaker 01 It's just not, it, there's not.
1:10:41 Speaker 05 There's no sperm.
1:10:42 Speaker 01 It's just totally useless.
1:10:42 Speaker 05 And when I'm told there's no sperm in this come, I say, then what is the come to begin with?
1:10:47 Speaker 01 Right. Goo.
1:10:48 Speaker 05 Goo. It's just goo.
1:10:49 Speaker 02 It's just goo.
1:10:50 Speaker 01 Well, it's come. It's just not come filled with sperm.
1:10:54 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:10:54 Speaker 02 Yeah.
1:10:55 Speaker 01 That's what's come. That was a new segment we have.
1:10:58 Speaker 05 All sperm is come, but not all come is sperm.
1:11:00 Speaker 01 And that's rule of culture number two. All sperm is come, but not all come is sperm. That one should go in the book, actually. We're now choosing the ones that are like gonna be going in the book.
1:11:10 Speaker 05 I'm honored. I would be honored to be included.
1:11:13 Speaker 01 Yeah, the little assistant. I'm sure you've assisted many of the rules of culture over the years and maybe even some of the ones, the famous ones.
1:11:20 Speaker 05 It would be interesting to have Claude, um, figure that out for us.
1:11:23 Speaker 02 Chat GPT.
1:11:24 Speaker 05 Yeah, yeah.
1:11:25 Speaker 02 Like, that's, that's what's crazy to me is that when someone is trying, like, the people who are talking to you refer to Claude as Chat GPT.
1:11:31 Speaker 05 Yeah, all the time.
1:11:32 Speaker 02 That's, that is actually so scary.
1:11:33 Speaker 05 The dark thing is, is like, I did not realize how many people are using it to write emails and text messages and flirt. And on Vanderpump Villa this season, a, a girl broke up with someone because Chat GPT told her to. Um, and she, and to be fair, she should have. She, she put in all the facts and it gave her a, like, a, a good conclusion. But like, the fact that she said on national TV that Chat, she did it because, and all of these coworkers and friends have been like, we've been telling you to break up with him for years, but you listen to Chat GPT? It's crazy. I was with a friend who was staying at an Airbnb and he wanted to, he was hungover, I'll give him that, but he was like,
1:12:16 Speaker 05 I, I gotta ask for a late checkout and had Claude write the message to the host.
1:12:21 Speaker 02 Bro.
1:12:22 Speaker 05 To ask for a late checkout. And I was like, babe, that's a sentence.
1:12:25 Speaker 02 That's a one sentence. That's one little phone call.
1:12:27 Speaker 05 And I, I worry. I do worry.
1:12:30 Speaker 01 Did you do a rewatch on the anniversary?
1:12:33 Speaker 05 I didn't. I.
1:12:35 Speaker 02 Joel and I had the experience of watching it again recently and it was, it was, it was great, but it was a little weird.
1:12:39 Speaker 05 It was weird. And we stayed for the beginning and the end. There was a screening in Ojai and we stayed for the beginning and the end. And it is just like.
1:12:46 Speaker 01 We look young.
1:12:47 Speaker 05 We do look younger. Um. But, and I, and I will say, like, to this day, like, you guys doing the searchlight, like, thing is, it does bring me great joy. And then I was watching and I was like, it's impossible not to watch something that you worked on like that, and not think like, oh god, I could have done that better, you know?
1:13:08 Speaker 02 Always.
1:13:09 Speaker 05 Oh, I wish this would have made it in, this cut, this thing, that thing. I love the movie, I've seen it a hundred times probably.
1:13:17 Speaker 05 But, yeah, fun fact, I don't think a lot of people know this, if you're listening right now and you wanna watch the movie again, but you've watched it recently, there's a, there's a commentary track on Hulu.
1:13:25 Speaker 01 Yeah, we, we knew that, I actually had heard the commentary track. I think that might be one of the last times I watched it, was when-
1:13:31 Speaker 05 Yeah, was with the commentary track.
1:13:32 Speaker 01 No, because, you know what, I, I watched it with Fraser. He hadn't seen it, um, and we watched it, and he enjoyed it very much, he loved it.
1:13:40 Speaker 05 I enjoyed very much sitting in front of him at the Culture Awards. It was very sweet.
1:13:43 Speaker 01 You were describing-
1:13:44 Speaker 05 He would like, he was just so funny, because he'd just be whispering to, uh-
1:13:51 Speaker 01 Melissa?
1:13:51 Speaker 05 Melissa, and just being like, oh my god, he's gonna fall. No, what is, what is he doing, he needs to be careful. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna do the accent.
1:14:01 Speaker 01 Couldn't be me, I do the accent every day.
1:14:04 Speaker 05 Yeah, he was, he was just like, I think, taken aback by the physicality on stage.
1:14:09 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:14:10 Speaker 02 Oh, sure, sure, sure.
1:14:11 Speaker 01 I was look, I did catch him a lot of times, like, I would just see him in the audience and he would sort of be looking like shell shocked, and I'd be like, are you having fun? Be like, yes.
1:14:22 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:14:22 Speaker 01 Because I do think it's-
1:14:23 Speaker 02 It's overstimulating.
1:14:24 Speaker 01 It is overstimulating and it's shocking to see someone who you see all the time and speak with all the time doing something they are not-
1:14:31 Speaker 05 Like that.
1:14:31 Speaker 01 Wild.
1:14:32 Speaker 05 In an auditorium-
1:14:33 Speaker 01 Not happening.
1:14:33 Speaker 05 Full of your friends, and people who fucking love you.
1:14:38 Speaker 01 Yes.
1:14:38 Speaker 05 That's a lot of things to experience for a partner, I would say.
1:14:42 Speaker 02 True, true.
1:14:43 Speaker 05 But it's sort of, it, it, it really is like, it, it, like last year gave me this vibe, this year gave me this vibe. It does feel like your wedding.
1:14:51 Speaker 01 Yeah, I know. This year, now, this year more than ever, it felt like, I was watching us in the white tuxes.
1:14:56 Speaker 02 It feels like a wedding in that we don't really get to enjoy the things that everyone else enjoys.
1:15:00 Speaker 05 No, yeah, you can't talk to anybody.
1:15:01 Speaker 01 We never saw the Dunkin' Donuts room.
1:15:02 Speaker 05 Oh, yeah, that is sad.
1:15:04 Speaker 02 And it seemed fun.
1:15:06 Speaker 05 It was fun. It was a good time.
1:15:07 Speaker 01 Oh my god. The camera has no way to get Cooper's face right now. Do you know we're talking about you?
1:15:14 Speaker 05 Who's this?
1:15:14 Speaker 01 Doug, this is Doug.
1:15:15 Speaker 05 Oh, it's Doug, of course. That's why we connect.
1:15:17 Speaker 01 Do you not explore the butt because Cooper's around and you don't want to do stuff in front of the dog? Because I've had sex in front of a dog.
1:15:24 Speaker 05 I have had sex in front of a dog.
1:15:26 Speaker 01 That dog, that dog has since, but that dog has since passed.
1:15:28 Speaker 02 Do, do dogs, do dogs know that gay sex is crazy?
1:15:34 Speaker 01 Wrong.
1:15:38 Speaker 01 Have you ever realized your car just doesn't fit your life anymore? Like, maybe you've got a new job, or you've moved, or your family's grown, or maybe you're just ready for something different.
1:15:47 Speaker 02 Yeah, that new chapter feeling is exciting, and sometimes it comes with a new car. When it's time to shop, it can feel overwhelming, though.
1:15:54 Speaker 01 Totally. There are so many options, so many places to look. You could spend weeks bouncing between websites and dealerships trying to figure out what actually works. That's why I always start with cars.com.
1:16:05 Speaker 02 Cars.com brings together over 2 million new and used cars nationwide, all in one place. So whether you know exactly what you want, or you're just exploring, you've got real choices. Everything from compact cars for your commute, to SUVs for family trips, or trucks for hauling gear.
1:16:20 Speaker 01 And it's not just a list. Cars.com has tools and expert advice to help you figure out what car really fits your life. Their advanced search filters lets you narrow things down by price, mileage, and features. Leather seats, third row, hybrid, whatever matters most to you, they got it.

1:16:46 Speaker 01 That combination of clarity and choice really takes the stress out of car shopping. It lets you focus on what matters: finding the car that works for your life, your plans, and your next chapter.
1:16:55 Speaker 02 So don't take any chances. Do car shopping the easy way. Start your search with cars.com. Where to next?

1:17:06 Speaker 02 Time for some prep wisdom.
1:17:07 Speaker 01 But first, some common sense, people. Everyone is different. Every one. Yes, even you. Yes, even your situationship.
1:17:14 Speaker 02 Especially your situationship. And just like people, injectable prep options, not all the same.
1:17:20 Speaker 01 That's why you need to talk to your doctor and know what to ask. So here's some prep wisdom.
1:17:25 Speaker 02 Did you know there's more to consider about long-acting injectable prep options than how often you get it? Also, why you want to take it matters. Your lifestyle matters, your routine, your chaos level, your "I might forget my own birthday" energy. All of it counts.
1:17:37 Speaker 01 Basically, talk to your doctor. Have the conversation, ask the questions, be a little nosy about your own health. It's allowed, encouraged even. Okay, did you write all that down?
1:17:46 Speaker 02 No?
1:17:47 Speaker 01 Don't worry.
1:17:47 Speaker 02 Just head to getprepwisdom.com to learn what to ask your doctor. That's getprepwisdom.com. You know, we've been talking about refreshing our living rooms recently, so we went to wayfair.com.

1:19:32 Speaker 02 They're sailing the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, obviously, but now they've added the West Coast and Alaska. So whether you want golden hour off California or full cinematic glacier core main character energy, they said, range.
1:19:45 Speaker 01 And the awards. At this point, it's less award-winning cruise line and more, do we just engrave their name on the trophy? They've won so many travel awards, the ships might sweep our culture awards. Slay of the sea, excellence in poolside looks, outstanding achievement in top-deck behavior.
1:19:59 Speaker 02 Over 20 eateries, epic entertainment, fitness classes, wifi, all included. Luxury without the nickel and diming.

1:20:22 Speaker 02 Introducing M&M's Caramel You Already Love now popped into a totally new texture.
1:20:27 Speaker 01 I'd say M&M's are one of those truly iconic snacks.
1:20:30 Speaker 02 They've just launched a brand-new freeze-dried innovation that brings a whole new vibe to the M&M lineup.
1:20:36 Speaker 01 I mean, come on. What's not to love about M&M's?
1:20:40 Speaker 02 And if it's freeze-dried, I feel like I'm in space. M&M's continues to be that girl. The crunch is unexpected in the best way.
1:20:49 Speaker 01 Way crisper than you'd think. Like, you bite into one and there's the little pop that you don't see coming from something that still tastes like classic M&M's caramel.
1:20:58 Speaker 02 Sure, they don't look exactly like the M&Ms you know, but they are the M&Ms you love. They're perfect for snacking when watching television, scrolling on your phone, or settling in for a movie.
1:21:07 Speaker 01 And I'm already thinking they'll be great to have on Hanlow watching the Culture Awards.
1:21:12 Speaker 02 Yes. The best part is they've got that classic M&Ms caramel flavor. It's available in stores now.
1:21:20 Speaker 05 Summer House leak is our generation's Watergate. Like, we gotta figure it out. And, Ciara, I told this to her face at Watch What Happens Live, is our princess die.
1:21:30 Speaker 01 Was Ciara there with Mia?
1:21:31 Speaker 05 Yeah, she was backstage, supporting Mia. Yeah, and didn't want anyone... She specifically said, "Do not say anything about me being here. It's about Mia."
1:21:39 Speaker 01 Yeah, that's great.
1:21:40 Speaker 05 That's real fucking friendship. She's so fucking good.
1:21:42 Speaker 01 I have to say, they both were super cool at the Culture Awards, and Mia is exactly what you think. She's a great vibe, she's great fun. I think she's like a breakout star. Like, best vibe, hands down.
1:21:54 Speaker 05 No, yeah, I love her so much. And Ciara, the most beautiful woman alive, on top of being very intelligent.
1:22:00 Speaker 01 Did you see the Shaboozie music video?
1:22:02 Speaker 05 I did.
1:22:04 Speaker 01 Very good performance!
1:22:06 Speaker 05 I never in a million years thought I'd say that.
1:22:10 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:22:10 Speaker 05 I saw a Shaboozie music video.
1:22:12 Speaker 01 Think about this sentence: "I saw a Shaboozie music video, and Ciara Miller was amazing in it."
1:22:19 Speaker 05 Try going back in time and telling someone that.
1:22:20 Speaker 01 Like, hello, I didn't know any...
1:22:22 Speaker 05 They're like, "What language is America using now?"
1:22:24 Speaker 01 Yeah! What's the craziest sentence you could say that's not political to 10 years ago us?
1:22:32 Speaker 05 So, someone did post this on the night of the Culture Awards. It was Chanelle Iyan taking a selfie from the red... from the blue carpet, smiling, and the caption was, "Pikachu stuns on the blue carpet of the Los Culturistas Culture Awards with Chanelle Iyan." It's like, this...
1:22:47 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:22:50 Speaker 01 Pikachu stuns on the blue... on the Marshall's blue carpet with Chanelle Iyan at the Los Culturistas Culture Awards.
1:22:56 Speaker 05 Wow. That would confuse me.
1:22:59 Speaker 02 Certainly.
1:22:59 Speaker 05 Certainly.
1:23:00 Speaker 01 I would say Katy Perry spotted canoodling with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
1:23:04 Speaker 05 That is.
1:23:05 Speaker 01 Eating hot dogs on the floor at Coachella is pretty good.
1:23:07 Speaker 05 Like, try going back to, when did he see elected, like 2012, 2015?
1:23:11 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:23:11 Speaker 05 2019?
1:23:12 Speaker 01 Something like that.
1:23:13 Speaker 05 Like, during Obama's second term.
1:23:14 Speaker 01 Definitely during her imperial phase.
1:23:16 Speaker 05 I don't, go back to 2012 and like when he was supposed to be the great white hope of Canada and tell someone that.
1:23:23 Speaker 01 With that big ass.
1:23:23 Speaker 05 Tell someone that.
1:23:24 Speaker 01 You remember he had that big fat ass?
1:23:26 Speaker 05 I miss her on Idol.
1:23:28 Speaker 01 We're talking about two different things.
1:23:29 Speaker 05 I know.
1:23:30 Speaker 01 You refuse to talk with me about Justin Trudeau's former donk.
1:23:34 Speaker 05 Does he not have it anymore?
1:23:36 Speaker 01 I don't know. I just, I just, he's certainly not like showing it off like he used to. He used to like, remember when he would go into his office and the prime ministership or whatever the fuck? And he would like-
1:23:45 Speaker 05 And he'd arch his back.
1:23:46 Speaker 01 He would arch his back and like he'd be like, "Look, I can do a push-up and like lift my whole body off the ground." It would just be him doing like an impressive physical feat with his like handsome face.
1:23:54 Speaker 05 And got a little shelf.
1:23:55 Speaker 01 And his leadership.
1:23:56 Speaker 05 And his leadership.
1:23:59 Speaker 01 Did he flop as Prime Minister?
1:24:01 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:24:01 Speaker 01 Oh, really?
1:24:02 Speaker 05 Yeah. Certainly. Yeah.
1:24:04 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:24:04 Speaker 02 I can tell you how.
1:24:05 Speaker 05 No, neither could I.
1:24:07 Speaker 01 So, is it-
1:24:07 Speaker 05 I can only, I only know just generally what I'm absorbing from the vibes of the people talking about it.
1:24:12 Speaker 02 Yeah.
1:24:12 Speaker 01 Is it, that is the narrative, okay, so I basically like, as far as I can go with the Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau of it all, is, it's like, it's crazy that you'd put them together because they're both so famous and like, who would ever think that? But is it also the narrative of like, kinda like two people who kinda flopped, now kinda coming together to maximize their joint flop?
1:24:35 Speaker 05 Hmm, that's interesting.
1:24:36 Speaker 01 Into like what is kind of a slay?
1:24:38 Speaker 05 Yeah, that, you know what? I just realized, you are one degree away from Justin Trudeau.
1:24:44 Speaker 01 Me?
1:24:45 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:24:45 Speaker 01 Oh, why? Because I was in a Katy Perry music video?
1:24:47 Speaker 05 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that puts you close to a lot of people, actually.
1:24:51 Speaker 02 Same with Mitra, then.
1:24:52 Speaker 05 Yeah, oh my god, yeah.
1:24:53 Speaker 01 Mitra and I famously were the stars of the "Not the End of the World" music video.
1:24:58 Speaker 05 If you are catching up.
1:24:59 Speaker 01 If you're just catching up.
1:25:00 Speaker 05 And I directed the motivation music video.
1:25:02 Speaker 01 Yeah, right, right, right, right. So why won't you direct anything else for Normani?
1:25:07 Speaker 05 Because...
1:25:08 Speaker 01 It seems like she needs you.
1:25:09 Speaker 05 I did it with the, I did it on the first try. It's like, "Why continue American Idol? Babe, you did it."
1:25:14 Speaker 01 That was, yeah, oh, wow. Why continue American Idol? The money.
1:25:18 Speaker 05 Yeah, sure.
1:25:19 Speaker 01 Sure, sure.
1:25:20 Speaker 02 But you, you really ate, you really ate and tore and more with the, with the motivation music video.
1:25:25 Speaker 01 Yeah, that was so good.
1:25:26 Speaker 05 Some of that came up the other night, and that was like, that was peak Twitter for me, is getting away with...
1:25:31 Speaker 01 With saying, "I directed this, enjoy it."
1:25:34 Speaker 05 Someone coming back and saying, "These two men directed the video," and then replying, "That's the names, those are the names I, I use when I direct music videos because people know me as a comedian and I want them to know me as music, as a duo of music directors."
1:25:50 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:25:51 Speaker 05 And then it being, like, reported on in, in the blogs that the, that I, the director, has said, "She did it in one take." The ball bump.
1:26:01 Speaker 01 Normani allegedly did the music video for motivation in one take, says director Joel Kim Booster.
1:26:07 Speaker 05 No, specifically when the basketball falls down and she bumps it with her hip.
1:26:11 Speaker 01 Oh, amazing.
1:26:12 Speaker 05 Because it all started with...
1:26:13 Speaker 01 She did that on the first take. She is so amazing.
1:26:16 Speaker 05 She, uh, yeah, no, she's incredible. She is, like...
1:26:20 Speaker 01 You're talking about her, like, you actually did direct that. She is, she really is amazing. She really is amazing.
1:26:28 Speaker 05 She was so hard. She was so hard.
1:26:31 Speaker 01 I, I pray for, I still pray for Normani.
1:26:36 Speaker 05 No, yeah, all the girls.
1:26:37 Speaker 01 I pray for each and every one of those girls, and I'm on this podcast standing for Camila more than anyone in recorded history.
1:26:45 Speaker 05 I'd say that's probably true.
1:26:47 Speaker 01 Actually, you know what? This is so true. Some of the hottest gays in the world...
1:26:54 Speaker 01 Are, will get in your DMs and be like, are you excited for Camila's new era? I'm telling you, there's this one gay who's so fucking hot, who I, who, this is a long time ago, got in my DMs just to say something about Camila. And I was like, okay, maybe this guy wants to talk to me, fingers crossed. And I just started a conversation. It never stopped. He had the bibliography on Camila. I had never heard CXOXO standing like this until I listened to any episode that comes up on this podcast.
1:27:26 Speaker 05 Wow.
1:27:26 Speaker 02 Can I say something?
1:27:27 Speaker 05 What are they called, her stans, by the way?
1:27:28 Speaker 01 Um, um, chameleon-ers. No, they're not, they're not, they're not, that was good, though.
1:27:33 Speaker 05 But I think if she doesn't have one, then...
1:27:35 Speaker 01 What is Camila's stan army, Becca?
1:27:37 Speaker 04 Camila, oh my god, camilizers? C-A-M-I-L-I-Z-E-R-S, do with that one.
1:27:45 Speaker 01 Is that worse or better than Ariannator?
1:27:48 Speaker 05 Well, Ariannator scans better than whatever that is.
1:27:52 Speaker 02 Scans better, but, but you know, she hates it.
1:27:53 Speaker 05 We can't even figure out how to say this one.
1:27:55 Speaker 02 Um, right. Can I just say, on your note about the hottest gays will come into your DMs, I think a lot of the, the, you know, the pointiest, muscle-iest gay guys just want to queen out.
1:28:04 Speaker 05 Yeah?
1:28:05 Speaker 01 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:28:05 Speaker 02 They just want to queen out, they don't really necessarily want to flirt, fuck. They just, like, ah...
1:28:10 Speaker 01 You're actually dead ass.
1:28:11 Speaker 02 Like, I'll go to Rect and it'll be three different muscle gays just wanting to talk Oscars.
1:28:15 Speaker 01 Yep.
1:28:15 Speaker 02 And I'm like, oh, right.
1:28:16 Speaker 05 No, and it is this like, it's this really insidious thing that, like, cycle that happens is because so many gay guys operate under, I, I'm only nice to people I want to fuck.
1:28:27 Speaker 01 Right.
1:28:28 Speaker 05 And I only engage with people I want to fuck. And, and so many of us have experienced that and absorbed that. But then you meet somebody who is just like, wants to queen out and chat and be, and like, I am like this, like, I, I, I'll talk to anybody interesting.
1:28:43 Speaker 02 I think it's great.
1:28:44 Speaker 05 But it's this cycle then of that person thinks, oh, gay guys are only nice to me if they want to fuck me, so this person must, and then I have to then be like, oh, actually, I just was interested in your mom's cancer journey. Like, I, you know, and like...
1:29:01 Speaker 01 To a point.
1:29:02 Speaker 05 To, yeah, and, and, and like, and it sucks because like, it, like, my instinct sometimes is like, not to be nice, or not to engage, or not to start the conversation, because I'm like, at an after-party where sex is happening.
1:29:14 Speaker 02 Either way.
1:29:15 Speaker 05 And I also don't want, like, listen, I am at an after-party where feet away from me, people are being penetrated. I don't want to waste someone's time by talking to them about the French election. When possibly, they could be scouting elsewhere.
1:29:31 Speaker 02 Oh, so it's about, you don't want to take away from their experience?
1:29:33 Speaker 05 No, yeah, because like, I know, I once was at an after-party in London and it was early and everyone was hot and I talked to this South African basketball player for an hour. And then he ended the conversation by kissing me on the cheek and saying, "You're so interesting to talk to," and then went off to fuck someone else that I was there with. And listen, you are not obligated to fuck anybody just because you talked to them for an hour.
1:29:56 Speaker 02 Right.
1:29:56 Speaker 05 But I will say, that's pre-game behavior.
1:29:58 Speaker 01 It's a great opportunity.
1:29:59 Speaker 05 That is pre-game behavior, not after-party behavior.
1:30:02 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:30:03 Speaker 05 Look around at what's going on. Now I'm an hour behind everyone else.
1:30:06 Speaker 02 Oh.
1:30:07 Speaker 05 You know?
1:30:08 Speaker 02 All because you wanted to talk to me about Casey Levy.
1:30:10 Speaker 05 Because I'm talking to you about apartheid?
1:30:12 Speaker 02 Right, right.
1:30:12 Speaker 05 And your dad's role in ending apartheid?
1:30:14 Speaker 01 Because you wanted to talk to me about Casey Levy.
1:30:17 Speaker 02 Because, right? Is that her name?
1:30:18 Speaker 05 Cassie Levy, Cassie Levy.
1:30:20 Speaker 01 Is it Cassie or Casey?
1:30:21 Speaker 02 Casey.
1:30:21 Speaker 01 Fabulous in Ragtime.
1:30:23 Speaker 05 Oh my god, I saw it twice.
1:30:24 Speaker 01 You saw it twice?
1:30:25 Speaker 05 I did see it. I saw it and then I said JM has to see this.
1:30:27 Speaker 02 He does.
1:30:28 Speaker 05 And then he thought for months that, um, he was seeing Carousel. Uh, very different musical.
1:30:34 Speaker 01 Totally different.
1:30:35 Speaker 02 Totally different. Similar themes, is it? Not really. No, you're, no, it's not. I don't know. I was, I was trying to help him out.
1:30:42 Speaker 01 I was at opening night of Ragtime in the front row with Melissa.
1:30:45 Speaker 05 Oh my god.
1:30:46 Speaker 01 And it is...
1:30:47 Speaker 05 Joshua Henry blowing your fucking face off, that close?
1:30:50 Speaker 01 To say noth- well, Joshua Henry, maybe, certainly, well, we'll know by now.
1:30:56 Speaker 05 The juries have happened, yeah.
1:30:57 Speaker 01 Yeah, the, the, so we don't know what happened.
1:30:59 Speaker 02 As of now, as of this recording.
1:31:00 Speaker 01 Yeah, so we don't know what happened, but certainly he should win.
1:31:03 Speaker 05 I can't wait to listen to this episode and have you pop in. At the time of recording, we did not know that Joshua Henry did this thing.
1:31:10 Speaker 01 Yeah. "Hi, it's me from the future. Josh Henry did win. So congrats, Josh, and back to the show."
1:31:19 Speaker 01 And we have to denounce. No, just kidding. He's probably lovely and should win.
1:31:23 Speaker 02 Right.
1:31:24 Speaker 01 But him, Michelle Lewis, crazy.
1:31:27 Speaker 02 Michelle Lewis is amazing.
1:31:28 Speaker 05 Get this. I knew Joshua Henry as a recording artist before I knew he did Broadway.
1:31:33 Speaker 01 Really?
1:31:33 Speaker 05 Yes, because I put one of his songs on a playlist for JM in the early days of us dating.
1:31:38 Speaker 01 Oh, I didn't know he did original music.
1:31:39 Speaker 05 Cause he came, yeah, he came up on like my Discover Weekly or whatever. And I was like, I love this singer. And I had no idea.
1:31:46 Speaker 01 Fab. Oh, I love that. Speaking of singers, how many times have you been on Jennifer Hudson?
1:31:52 Speaker 05 Three.
1:31:53 Speaker 01 Ah.
1:31:54 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:31:55 Speaker 01 Spirit Tunnel, all three?
1:31:56 Speaker 05 Uh, only twice. Cause uh, the first time was pre-Spirit Tunnel.
1:32:00 Speaker 01 Oh.
1:32:00 Speaker 05 I will say, uh, I, this is like, she is like such a consummate professional. She um, had to cancel on me one time. Uh huh. Because she was not feeling well. And the way I know, because of the, my interactions with her, she was incapacitated completely. That's the only, like, her entire production staff was like, this has never happened.
1:32:23 Speaker 01 She doesn't call out?
1:32:24 Speaker 05 No, she doesn't. And I just like, I get the best vibes from her. She seems like, I got the best vibes from her when I was on Kelly with her too.
1:32:31 Speaker 01 Yes. That's an iconic picture. I almost framed it from my own home.
1:32:36 Speaker 02 You should.
1:32:37 Speaker 01 I probably should, actually. Yeah. We met her, or I met, have you met Jennifer?
1:32:41 Speaker 02 I, you met her backstage at Seth Meyers.
1:32:43 Speaker 01 Seth Meyers, we did I Don't Think So Honey together.
1:32:45 Speaker 05 I was on Seth Meyers and Diane, Diane Van Furstenberg was also on Seth Meyers.
1:32:51 Speaker 02 Uh huh.
1:32:51 Speaker 05 And I was wearing a Leek NYC um, top. Um, and she came to my dressing room after I'd been on and was like, I have to know who makes this top. And comes up, starts touching it, touching me.
1:33:07 Speaker 02 The gray, the gray one?
1:33:08 Speaker 05 Yes.
1:33:08 Speaker 02 So hot.
1:33:08 Speaker 05 And then, um, you know, I was like, oh, I was like, that's iconic coming from you. Like, I'm so honored. Thank you so much. I'll, I'll let the designer know. And then she moves into the green room beyond where we are near the door. And opens up a box, starts eating a giant pretzel out of it. Takes a few cookies. Uh, takes a couple of cookies.
1:33:30 Speaker 01 From your snacks?
1:33:31 Speaker 05 Yeah, and eats a little bit off the charcuterie. Puts a piece of cheese back.
1:33:36 Speaker 01 DVF.
1:33:36 Speaker 05 That she would, had touched and I, yeah. It was one of the craziest things I've ever, and then left without saying another word. She was not speaking during this time, by the way. And we were all like trying to like, we were doing that thing where we were like, yeah, and in the thing.
1:33:51 Speaker 01 So, um.
1:33:52 Speaker 05 Uh, yeah, and like we're watching what's going on, but like trying to keep up a conversation because we didn't want to like spook her.
1:33:58 Speaker 01 Well, DVF is diving through the snacks.
1:34:00 Speaker 05 Yeah, and then she left without another word.
1:34:02 Speaker 01 I love it. She thought it was open concept.
1:34:06 Speaker 05 It was amazing and it honestly humanized her in such a beautiful way to me.
1:34:10 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:34:10 Speaker 05 Cause I was like, God, she was just hungry.
1:34:12 Speaker 01 Yeah. She was hungry and you had some food.
1:34:15 Speaker 05 Just hungry. Who's the actress that got hit in the head and now can write songs?
1:34:19 Speaker 01 Oh, um, um, um, um. Mary Steenburgen. I don't think it was that she got hit in the head. I think she had a surgery.
1:34:26 Speaker 05 Surgery.
1:34:27 Speaker 01 She, she.
1:34:28 Speaker 05 Well, the cast got hit in the head allegedly and can, could hit high notes after that.
1:34:32 Speaker 01 Who did?
1:34:33 Speaker 05 That's, that is apparently made up, but that is something that I did hear.
1:34:37 Speaker 01 She was like.
1:34:38 Speaker 05 Growing up.
1:34:38 Speaker 01 Make your own kind of mu- guys, I don't know, maybe tomorrow. Oh! Make your own kind of music. Fire it up.
1:34:48 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:34:48 Speaker 01 I'm ready.
1:34:49 Speaker 05 That was the story. That was the story. Apparently she did get hit in the head and it kinda caused like a lot of pain.
1:34:56 Speaker 01 Well, yeah. Tracks, I guess. Do you want to talk about being in K-pop Demon Hunters? Cause you haven't gotten to do that.
1:35:04 Speaker 05 I guess. I mean, it's so funny.
1:35:07 Speaker 01 I guess, I guess.
1:35:09 Speaker 05 No, it's, it's.
1:35:10 Speaker 01 You're in a film that won two Oscars.
1:35:11 Speaker 05 It's like the biggest fucking movie Netflix has ever produced, which by the way, now that our residuals work a certain kind of way. And I was like Netflix, you sent me a plaque that said I was in the biggest movie you've ever made, so that shit better not be light. Okay, you can't have it both ways. Anyways, K-pop Demon Hunters was, it was just such a quick experience.
1:35:30 Speaker 01 Amazing group of people.
1:35:31 Speaker 05 It was just such a quick experience. Like I was like in and out of the booth in 20 minutes and yet and I have like five lines as romance. And yet there are subreddits and fan art and porn and like fan theories. And I will say my character does not die on screen. And the thing that I referenced that Gemini was apologizing for in all those screenshots that I was reading. The director of K-pop Demon Hunters on the carpet of the Golden Globes said, was asked, what can we expect from K-pop Demon Hunters 2? And he said verbatim, more Joel Kim Booster and that's it. And you best believe I clipped that and sent it to my team and said, let's follow up on this sisters. Because that would be great.
1:36:11 Speaker 01 Let you sing the song.
1:36:13 Speaker 05 Well, and it's so funny because initially they had us sing.
1:36:16 Speaker 01 Right.
1:36:17 Speaker 05 For so hot? Like, no, just to like.
1:36:19 Speaker 01 And then they went.
1:36:20 Speaker 05 When we were auditioning, they had us sing and they wanted us to sing a boy band song.
1:36:24 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:36:24 Speaker 05 So I'm downstairs in my office, singing, I Want It That Way.
1:36:27 Speaker 01 Great. Good choice.
1:36:28 Speaker 05 Like embarrassed, even though I'm alone. And I keep playing it back and I cannot hear it. And I'm like, what's going on? JM upstairs with a couple of our friends. I'm connected to the Bluetooth upstairs. So him and our friends got to hear seven times me singing poorly and nervously. I want it that way into my phone.
1:36:48 Speaker 01 Why did he turn that off? He doesn't love you.
1:36:52 Speaker 05 He was fucking enjoying it.
1:36:53 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:36:54 Speaker 05 He was fucking enjoying it.
1:36:55 Speaker 01 Living for it. So cruel.
1:36:57 Speaker 05 Very cruel, but it's like, honestly, I'm like so thankful to be a part of it and like, you know.
1:37:03 Speaker 01 Okay, the media training is jumping out.
1:37:04 Speaker 05 No, but it's true. Like it's the one thing that like my niece and nephews can watch.
1:37:09 Speaker 01 That's true.
1:37:10 Speaker 05 That I've ever done.
1:37:10 Speaker 01 You can show them Fire Islands?
1:37:12 Speaker 05 No, I don't think so. I think there'd be a lot of questions. Like, how did those two straight Australian intimacy coordinators choreograph that orgy scene so accurately?
1:37:22 Speaker 02 All right, this is Matt Rogers. I don't think so, honey. His, you have something?
1:37:25 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:37:25 Speaker 02 His time starts now.
1:37:26 Speaker 01 I don't think so, honey. I can't be around Skittles without eating the whole bag. So we are editing the culture awards right now. I'm coming to you from the past. You're in the future. You've already seen it. I, on my rider, I asked for two things, Coke Zero and Skittles. I don't know why. I do this. Bowen's like, can we have bananas? And like, there's like bananas there. I see your banana. I raise you Skittles. And then I have a colorful mouth and a body that is full of Red 40.
1:37:55 Speaker 02 Thirty seconds.
1:37:56 Speaker 01 I'm, I guess, sort of addicted to Red 40. I think I kind of love it. I, me and RFK disagree about this one thing. And, you know, we'll talk about it later, I'm sure, tonight when I see him. I'll see you soon, baby. But anyways, I absolutely think that Skittles are the best food in American history. They're not good for you. I bet they have actually less than zero health value. But I can't stop eating them. If they're around me, I'm gonna eat the whole bag. I've eaten five bags of Skittles today. And if there was five in front of me, I'd eat the five too.
1:38:30 Speaker 02 And that's one minute.
1:38:30 Speaker 01 This is crazy. I have to go to the pee, but I have something to say about it.
1:38:33 Speaker 02 Okay.
1:38:35 Speaker 01 So I guess let's just discuss that while, I was actually hoping he would do a rule of three.
1:38:40 Speaker 02 Do a rule of three. That was, that was the third. What, what, what, what is, um, what is so bad about Red 40? According to the Maha, the Maha people. And now you.
1:38:48 Speaker 01 Can I say something? Is anyone Maha in here? You want to tell us what's bad about Red 40?
1:38:53 Speaker 04 I'm Googling it.
1:38:54 Speaker 01 Yeah, okay. Becca's gonna Google. What's, what's so, can, can you say it like this? What's so bad about Red 40 anyway?
1:39:01 Speaker 02 I bet it gives you cancer.
1:39:03 Speaker 04 Okay, from the Cleveland Clinic Health Essentials, because I'm not trying to use the little AI thing.
1:39:07 Speaker 01 So from the Cleveland Clinic Health Essentials, they say...
1:39:11 Speaker 04 Some countries have very strict regulations.
1:39:12 Speaker 01 Some countries have very strict regulations.
1:39:15 Speaker 04 And some US states have regulated it too, but under US federal law, it is currently still used in a variety of products.
1:39:20 Speaker 01 It's not regulated in America. But what is so bad about it?
1:39:25 Speaker 02 So RFK wants to have big government regulate it.
1:39:28 Speaker 04 Red dye 40 is thought to be associated with hyperactivity and behavioral changes like irritability and depression.
1:39:34 Speaker 01 Okay, well, I...
1:39:36 Speaker 04 It causes ADHD. It just means kids who have ADHD may be especially sensitive.
1:39:41 Speaker 01 Okay, so the rumor is that if you're ADHD, you might be super sensitive to Red 40, and it might make you irritable and what? Huh. I gotta tell... And depressed.
1:39:52 Speaker 05 He's king ADHD. Um, I just wanted to know for everyone watching home. Anytime during the podcast, you see my legs doing this, that's when it's starting. And let me tell you, it's not a weak stream. It's not a dribble. I do not have trouble getting it out. It is just, it is a lot of pee every time.
1:40:10 Speaker 01 Well, I was just looking at you the whole time and how much you were gonna drink because I was like, I, I the whole time had been kind of low key wanting you to go a third time to satisfy my need for a rule of three. But you didn't drink any more of the Celsius.
1:40:25 Speaker 05 No, no, it's just my bladder is the size of a peach and no longer expands.
1:40:30 Speaker 02 But we're saying the, the volume of the fluid.
1:40:33 Speaker 01 Right.
1:40:33 Speaker 02 Where's that coming from?
1:40:35 Speaker 01 It's not, it's not clocking.
1:40:37 Speaker 05 This is not the body episode. We don't know what come is. We don't know what pee is. Um, yeah, it's really.
1:40:43 Speaker 02 We just don't know where pee comes from.
1:40:44 Speaker 05 Yeah, okay.
1:40:44 Speaker 01 Well, maybe we'll find out in Bowen Yang's. I don't think so, honey.
1:40:47 Speaker 02 We're not. I told you, I told you what mine was. Do you want to time me?
1:40:50 Speaker 01 I would like to time you and Bowen's gonna have actually a really, really, really powerful one on tonight. This is Bowen Yang's. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now.
1:40:59 Speaker 02 I don't think so, honey, that these little delivery robots have non-English names. It's a lot of Yuki. It's Priya. There was one on TikTok of this guy being like, now why the fuck is this one named Jaleel? What are you trying to say, serve robotics? Like, come on, let's, let's just stick with the Charlie and the Courtney and the Alex and like, I don't want, like, oh, we have DEI still for the robots? No, no, no.
1:41:31 Speaker 01 There's one named Bowen.
1:41:32 Speaker 02 There's one named Bowen that people keep tagging me and I'm like, I don't want to be reminded of Bowen with the eyes. It's already, it's already being anthropomorphized with these little stupid eyes. Don't give it a name. And if you are, give it something where I don't have to think about what the implicit message is. Like. Everybody, like, I don't know, this is the word, this is actually, this might actually further foment these sort of wage, the wage anxiety and sort of the wealth anxiety that we have that is about to blow up in this fucking country.
1:42:06 Speaker 05 Now, do you think that possibly they're named after celebrities or characters and like, that's what they're going for? With Bowen and Jaleel, White and...
1:42:16 Speaker 01 There are white Bowens.
1:42:17 Speaker 02 There are white Bowens. Yuki is not a robot. Yuki is a non-binary DJ.
1:42:25 Speaker 05 Yeah, no, you're right about that.
1:42:27 Speaker 02 We cannot have the robots out here named Yuki.
1:42:30 Speaker 05 No.
1:42:31 Speaker 02 I'm telling you, stick to the Anglo names.
1:42:34 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:42:34 Speaker 01 Yuki, I guess you could have one named Yuki.
1:42:39 Speaker 02 That's our cue for the next, I don't think so, honey.
1:42:45 Speaker 05 Okay, um, so this is, this may come, this may be coming for people in our own community. Certainly may be some listeners of this podcast.
1:42:54 Speaker 02 Certainly people in this room.
1:42:55 Speaker 05 Certainly one of my dear friends, actually, sort of prompted this, but let's just go.
1:43:02 Speaker 01 Here we go.
1:43:03 Speaker 02 This is Joel Kimbooster's I Don't Think So, and he, his time starts now.
1:43:06 Speaker 05 I don't think so, honey, people who post pictures of their baby on Instagram with a fucking emoji over their face, just don't put the baby on Instagram, okay? What are you doing? You can't have it both ways. You cannot have your social media presence and protect your child's privacy, you can't have it all in one fell swoop, you can't have it all in one swing. This is a millennial disease that the urge to post no matter what, but then your parental instinct kicks in and says, maybe I shouldn't submit this baby to the public so soon.
1:43:37 Speaker 02 Thirty seconds.
1:43:37 Speaker 05 And here's my thought for you, why don't you put down the damn phone and start parenting for once, okay? I don't think so, honey, the fact that you put a devil emoji face over a picture of your baby, now what am I supposed to think? That the baby's horny?
1:43:51 Speaker 02 Fifteen seconds.
1:43:52 Speaker 05 Because that's what it means in our community, okay? It may mean something, it may mean devilish to you, but it means
1:43:57 Speaker 02 Horny.
1:43:58 Speaker 05 You up to me, and now that's what your baby is doing to me.
1:44:01 Speaker 02 Five seconds.
1:44:01 Speaker 05 And now you've made me complicit in something nasty. I don't think so, honey. People putting pictures of emojis over their baby's
1:44:09 Speaker 02 And that's one minute.
1:44:10 Speaker 01 What say you about Lindsay Hubbard showing her baby on In the City, but putting emojis over the baby's face on Instagram?
1:44:17 Speaker 05 I say business woman down.
1:44:19 Speaker 01 I say Lindsay Hubbard, whatever you want to do. She explained it, actually.
1:44:23 Speaker 02 She explained it. I guess it's also about training the algorithm or AI, and/or AI with photos of babies. I guess that's part of it.
1:44:31 Speaker 05 Okay, but again, don't post.
1:44:32 Speaker 02 It doesn't, no, it does not take away from this.
1:44:34 Speaker 05 You know who ate really quickly? Dara.
1:44:38 Speaker 02 Dara was amazing.
1:44:39 Speaker 01 Eight.
1:44:40 Speaker 05 Eight.
1:44:40 Speaker 01 Killed it. Higher moment of the season.
1:44:41 Speaker 05 She had one thesis to get across.
1:44:43 Speaker 01 Yep.
1:44:43 Speaker 05 And she did it twice.
1:44:44 Speaker 01 Yep.
1:44:44 Speaker 05 Perfectly.
1:44:45 Speaker 01 Yep. When prompted, she was like, here it is.
1:44:48 Speaker 02 And here.
1:44:48 Speaker 01 Not a but or a like in the sentence.
1:44:50 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:44:51 Speaker 01 Just like, really, really, really nailed.
1:44:53 Speaker 05 Scholarly.
1:44:54 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:44:55 Speaker 02 But putting it at Amanda's feet to be like, it's up to you.
1:44:58 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:44:59 Speaker 02 You decide what you want to do with this information that you know and we all know.
1:45:02 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:45:02 Speaker 02 And the world knows.
1:45:03 Speaker 01 You have to decide what it's worth. Ooh.
1:45:07 Speaker 05 Tough.
1:45:07 Speaker 02 That was crazy.
1:45:08 Speaker 01 Really hard.
1:45:09 Speaker 02 Really hard stuff. Well.
1:45:11 Speaker 01 And also, this season of reality television concluded three weeks ago.
1:45:16 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:45:17 Speaker 01 You in the future.
1:45:18 Speaker 02 We have no way of knowing what happens in the future.
1:45:20 Speaker 01 But In the City is ongoing.
1:45:21 Speaker 05 Mm-hmm.
1:45:22 Speaker 02 Very good.
1:45:23 Speaker 05 Those strangers.
1:45:24 Speaker 02 You can, those strangers, including Lindsay Hubbard's child, Gemma.
1:45:28 Speaker 01 No Gemma you can get to know on In the City, you just can't get to know Gemma on Instagram.
1:45:33 Speaker 05 Nope.
1:45:33 Speaker 01 But my problem with In the City, we started another podcast, is that I guess most of them are like a bit too normal sauce for me. And I'm like, I want to hang out with my friends.
1:45:43 Speaker 05 Yeah, right, right.
1:45:44 Speaker 01 I want to hang out with my friends who is the cast of Summer House. I don't know these people. And it's giving a little touch too normal sauce for me.
1:45:51 Speaker 05 Yeah, it's, I mean.
1:45:52 Speaker 01 It's giving a touch to the valley for me in a way that is not.
1:45:55 Speaker 05 The valley gave, and now it's too dark, but it gave when it gave.
1:45:59 Speaker 02 Yes, yes, yes.
1:46:00 Speaker 01 Are you current on the valley? So you're watching The Adventures of Lala Kent?
1:46:03 Speaker 05 Mm-hmm.
1:46:04 Speaker 01 How's she doing?
