"Helicopter In, Ha HA!" (w/ Joel Kim Booster & Mitra Jouhari)

think they are bedazzled. That that like, if you think they look absolutely rich, you go, hey, Frosty, who comes from riches? What impact do you hope the last cultures does listeners will have. I want to empower the listeners, the readers, to create their own culture and just let it out into the world. I don't want them. I don't want us to sort of unt read. You're saying you don't want me to be too instructive with them. Okay, fine, I take it off. I call your friends whatever the

funk you want. I don't care to be honest. Can I be honest with my sister? I was barely even like forming a thought and I just finished the fountains? What is with you? What is your mental capacity? I'm a tired and frosty girl. Yeah, I know. Listen, frosty girl, you better wake the funk up. I don't want to be tired culture and ever at all, especially with our guests. You sound like you're in some sort of like tired psychosis, Like I wish that to stop. Girl. Are you okay? Mama?

You did have a week, a thick week. Look my frosty girl, I am. I am just so energized activated seeing the guests on the zoom. I just have to ramp up to the energy. Do you know what I'm saying? Totally okay, So let's let's try to get you there. Um, you know what I'm doing. I'm shaming, You're tire shaming. No shame you. You did such incredible work this weekend. It was so exhausting. No me, neither I trust me. I don't trust me. I don't know the last thing

I want to do? Oh my god, get into all that. But here's the thing, Like I made sure that I was woken up for the episode by watching Christmas in the Square. What do you think she would you want to do? Want to bring in the guests or do you want to share your initial thoughts? I want to say my initial thought first, so to make sure that they don't step over me, because there is a real huge problem with stepping over me. And what I say, I thought it was fine, all right, now we should

bring the guests in. Let's bring the guests in, and at that point we will be for acclaimed podcasters in one space. This isn't sort of words I'm attaching to us. This is the press. This is what the press has said. What outlets, the Weekly Gazette, the Post, Yes, and the Times Chronicle, I've all said this. They all called us acclaimed. They've they've called us a claim. Yes, they haven't acclaimed us. They've called us a claimed. To call us a claimed

is to acclaim or a claim. I love that. I love that, and this is us acclaiming our claim altogether. I think this is one of our guests ninety second appearance on the podcast, and the other guests, and I'm so happy that sort of the audience can get to know them and discover them. Yes, you know what I mean, because that's really what this is all about. It's like supporting young hot talent that hosts a podcast. I want to I want to pull back the curtain a little

bit before. Well, first one thing happened before our our guests came on on the zoom. Hot Engineer Doug said, is Joel Kim Booster really coming on this zoom? And then Anna and I a Hot executive bruser in and I were like yes, and he goes, okay, it's and and like we're like, are you a fan? And he goes, oh, you guys just talk about him so much. I can't believe he's gonna show up. That's that's insane. To be clear,

he wasn't a fan from a fan from hearing about us. Okay, as if he was like this imaginary friend or this like you just I don't know about that. Oh, that person is real, even though he's US. I would call him the little brother of the podcast. He's a little bit. He's a little brother and the little sister. And then our other guests came on the zoom, and then she and Hot Executive preaster Anna had a moment where they could have possibly been cousins. We won't get into it.

We won't get into it. Just to bring them the fuck in. They are the hosts of Urgent Care. Okay, it's a podcast. You can listen to the podcast you call in with your with your issues, they will answer with such grace cogency. I really can't believe this advice that they're giving some people beautiful and then good fucking luck if you actually take their advice, because that's not really the point. The point is more to entertain. I know, you know what I mean. That's a beak behind the curtain.

They're also wonderful comedians, writers, actress and their owners in their own right, but when they come together, they are urgent care They're acclaimed podcasters. What do you say we bring them in? I say, everyone, please welcome into your ears the acclaimed Joe, Kim, Booster, Andy and we figured out who yes, welcome ten out of ten opener to the boy true ten would you say that is the most low energy moment? Everyone stop bullying me. Okay, you

have some ship to answer for. Wake up pearl. You guys are honestly like my favorite humans out there, these humans right here, seriously, like I love these humans, these humans, some of the most amazing humans got together and what the Queen's ball out. It is in my literal it is in my literal funeral. Doc on Google sucks that Metro will sing um fight song at my funeral in a gorgeous ball gown, fight gorgeous ballgown. What what's this?

What's this doc? To the best of Metri's ability, to the best of her ability, It's just a doc I have on my computer that um lists all the things I want to happen at my funeral or Matt and I in it. Yeah, you're Paul bears as sluck because this came up with the Injured because we were talking about like like bridal parties and Benjole was like, I

have my Paul Borer list. I've stopped like ranking my friends based on who would stand up at my wedding, and they started ranking my friends based on who would be pall bearers at my funeral. Where are we sort of on the on your fee at the front of the casket, baby perfect, at the front of the cast, thank you. But I get stage time. But that's that's that's what's in the program. But you don't know what's actually going to happen in terms of the room because

live theater, you know, sometimes it's just as spontaneous. They might ask me to get up there, that's fine, But the deceased has demanded that I say a gorgeous ball and it will fit that will fight song? Will Fight Song be a parody? Or will it be the straight every singing Rachel fight song tost of my ability? Could you add a key change at the end to make it sort of like a bigger moment? Come on, I

can confidently Wait, were you there, Matt? Weren't you there the day that I tried to sing fight Song at the Freddog studios? It was it was an event. Weren't you there? Weren't you there the day I tried to sing fight I feel like him sing like brave that day or something like that. Oh yes, now I remember because I was really like this, This is like maybe the biggest moment of hubers in my entire life. All Right,

as a joke, I'm having fight song. I need someone to sing you know, I'll just sing fight Sorry, could not sing it, So you think it's going to be the sing along sort of everyone in America can sing it, but because Hillary Clinton took it. But it's a hard song. And your other one was I want to see You Go Off, which is based on I want to see you be brave? Another tough song to pull off vocally. Yeah, anyway, you've done it, You've done it successfully. There's me try

you know that. You know the clip I'm talking about right like I captured you in my old apartment trying to open a bottle of wine, singing, slay what you want to slay and let the queen ball out the queen, Let the queens go off, Let the queens go off. Maybe honestly I want to see off and let the queen's drag her honestly perfect, Wow, honest sleigh that dimension. Okay, this little Christmas honestly know, the whole thing is a

Chris It's it is. It's sort of like Family Stone, which is like it's a story that takes place during Christmas, but it's not about Christmas. Rule culture. It's sort of like Family Stone and that it's not about Chris. It's about Christmas, Christmas, but it is. Okay, we're not saying it together, so it's not actually just no. I just like to say it because I do a lot of

rules cultures on podcast, and Mitra has asked me. Mitra has asked me to stop men everything he does it, I got pull Why why do you think Joel does it to make fun, not because he listens to it and loves it. But I still go and they're usually pretty good. Rules of culture to its usually a moment where you go kind of no. I trust Joel to look out for those things. I really do. I'm going to determine the rule culture. No woman has ever, No

woman has ever culture culture she wouldn't do. Who do you think would who do you think that home naming rules of culture? Probably Madonna should probably think she knows it all that stupid bitch. Today today on the Chat, Matt said Christine Baranski should be as big as Madonna. I'm mad at Madonna saidy. For some reason, I was watching Christmas on the Square. I said, Christine Baranski should be as big as Madonna. Have you seen Christmas on the Square yet? Not yet? You have to see it,

I promise I'll see it. You have to see at least the first forty minutes to really get it, and then I couldn't do it anymore after that? Long? Is that the Dolly party? Did you stop? Stopped? So? Um? Barbara from Three Busy Debris isn't that to my knowledge has one line? But she actually think has more than that. But I was, I know exactly who she is, and she's she They there's a scene where they're singing about Christine Baranski and she keeps as a comedy beat, suggesting

that they rough Christine Baranski up. Everyone goes, yeah, Carol smar Brick, she is icon. I honestly when when I was, because that's very early in the movie, and I honestly thought her character would be a bigger part of it because they sort of feature her and that number so much, like it's such a return to that woman. I'm like, oh, Shell, she'll be a character. I think it's this is a movie I will probably watch every Christmas. Me too, Me too, Joel.

It's that you guys. Matt, You Mat has to watch it, Matt, you have to finish it, because honestly, it's pure, it makes no sense. And then somehow in the last ten minutes it all comes together and it's actually really sweet. There are some laugh out loud moments too near the end, involving like pediatric brain surgeons and um, the car accidents, and I mean a lot. Well, what's crazy is I did that thing where it's like you you can't really take a movie, but you do want to know how

it wraps up. So I skipped all the way to the end, like and when you go through un your little Apple TV you can see the little pictures. Yeah. But I went to the end and I was I don't know, I don't want to give spoilers, but shocked by the turns it took. I was just like, oh, that one's a spirit. Didn't realize that she was a spirit. It was like this one girl character. Anyway, it just it went for it. I appreciate that the movie went

for it and Metro will love it. Dolly Parton is experiencing homelessness in it, Yes, well that's what you think. First they go there. Yeah, they go there. It's really a comment. It will be in a way. It sort of is because Dolly Parton can experience homelessness. We all can't have, you, guys. My favorite Dolly Parton movie is Joyful Noise. Have you guys seen that movie with Queen Lativa at miss Keke Palmer. It is busy, busiest person

in the world, person in the world. Even when she like tweets something, I'm like, how does she find the time? She's very booked deeply. What is our favorite and this. I don't care if you like or hate Christmas. What's what's our favorite Christmas culture? Wow? This culture? You've really opened it. I I know mine, but mine, Mine is mine. I'm just gonna say do mine first, because it's dumb and I've almost it coming, but I won't lie about it.

It's Mariah carry She just is my favorite Christmas culture. The song, the use of the word festive, the special I just watched it was I just watched the special two and it ahead very Christmas Day and she's great, she is Christmas. She's giving you cartoon Christmas diva and it's it's exactly what you want from her. So that's mine. But everyone knows that I like Maria already. So fucking boring, bitch,

fucking boring bitch. How's this? How's this? The song Christmas Wrapping by the waitresses pretty sophisticated are and I can't say I know it. I have to ask you to performance it's the s job because it is my favorite. Hold day. Well, this year has been a busy, but don't think I have the energy. I don't know what I'm doing a British and like languid, But you know, my favorite deep culture. Christmas song is is a fairy tale of New York. It's the only Christmas teachers of

the word faggot. Can you do it? Yeah? You cheat, clousy fagett? Yes, Christmas, Christmas, she kind of gives me that Christmas. That's actually my favorite song of all time. All right, wait, stop everything, it's time for my favorite segment. It's a surprise segment that US boys play. It's Ken Metrust. All right, now we discuss can Metrust a faggott? Joel? She has and she will again. Actually I can allege. I can allege that meet has said fagett. You guys,

just we have to be careful. You can't. People get really mad at you guys saying that word. They get mad, but yeah, they But the important thing is it wasn't said by us. It was said. Well guess what, I guess we can end this segment. No, she can't, that's all right. She shan't. I can't, I shan't. And that's fine. All right? What Christmas culture? Who? Who? What's your favorite? Needs to go? But she hates it. I'm not really Christmas culture. Yeah, I don't know. I don't care very much.

I mean, I love I really like, I put a lot of time and effort into thoughtful presence boring. But you're a thought I'm a good gift giver. Um. I like, um, oh you know what. I watched that movie twenty ft from Stardom this year, and I like the story that Christmas song by Darlene Love. You know, um, the snow

is coming down that one Christmas. Yeah, and then like later in life she like the she she did it on or something or yeah, yeah, well Mariah ended up covering that, and I think that she like shown she like pay homage in a big way. I liked that I take back I take back the waitresses. That is actually and I think I'm sorry. I mean, it's like ended up on all these lists that is the best. It's like this and deco that one, right, But on every list of like the best contemporary Christmas songs, only

one for Christmas. He was always number one, but number two is always Darlene Love Baby Babe, Please Come Home, and that it is. I love that song. I like feels it like always makes me like sort of tear up, and then I have the story was so nice. Um, I guess that's my favorite Christmas culture but really I'm kind of granch. I guess Grinch is my favorite Christmas culture. I would say mine too. I love and honestly good for Christine Brandtsk for sort of crossing over with now

yet another iconic Christmas cast because she's not. She's iconic in this film Christmas on the Square and she's iconically Martha May movie. And then we were talking about Grinch at work the other day and um, someone, this isn't funny, but but we so we had to convince theone the Taylor mom said wasn't dead was completely for Taylor. Are you sure? Because we have a really record with saying people are dead that aren't. So you want I guessed it myself and then was like, is she And then

I looked it up. She's alive? But I was really like, did prefer? And somebody that has taken away from us really is the ability to know, just to really just sit in the knowledge, in the ambiguity of whether or not you can find out now in a pinch if someone's alive. And Christine Baranski, it's yeah, it is sad. Christine Baranski never This is what Aaron Jackson said in the in the in the j C Today never sells out the Dolly Parton movie. Never is like, oh God,

I'm doing like this fucking thing. She like commits to it in a way that I really admired, and I'm like, I can't like roll my eyes in anything I ever do ever again. Yeah, no, no, she is like she really is. And also she makes Mama she makes everything she's I was about to say, I just watched Mama Mia two for the first time last night, and it's like that movie. I just kept tearing up because I was like, it's just fun and it's just good. And I really rolled my eyes at it because because I

was like, another one that's so fucking stupid. And then my sister I was like, my sister finally made me watch it, and the whole time I was like, it's OK. I like yeah, I just everyone was having so much fun. They're all coming in on the ship, singing, dancing Queen's I was crying kind of triumph cryer I don't and things that are sad happened. I cry when like they rescue him in the Martian Oh, when something is too happy for words, I am weeping. It doesn't matter if

it's the biggest piece of ship in the world. I got to watch the prom, so I've now seen the prom on Ryan Murphy's the prom with Meryl Street and James Gordon and nic There are moments. Chego McKee is in it too, he's really good. But there's moments Meryl Street. Yeah, she's very much trapping in the post credits. But the movie is it's pretty much garbage. But the performances that are good are so good. Like Meryl just she did it again. Meryl is always so good and she's so

good at musical theater. She just like she sounds original bro with cast. This is my thing with Meryl at this point, Oh you're such a bitch. No no, no no, no, no, let me say this. This is this is this is this is like this is intentionally stupid. I want her to I want her to intentionally fail at something. I want her to be like I want to do the opposite of Christine Bransky and like be and like not really give a ship and something that she's in well, okay,

mom and Mia too. When she came in at the end, I was really expecting her to be like, it's me beautiful, She's so really just that under wrapped. I didn't know that she was going to be in it, but you know, you know the story of want to go see it? Well, we want to go see it and we were so high and Bowen had no idea that she wasn't in it, and like the very first second of the movie makes clear that she is dead as a door now. And Bowen turns to me and goes, is Meryl Streep not

in this? And I She's not in it. She's not in it at all. Laugh and he goes, then why are we here? I was like for share in an hour and a half. But the share was worth it. The share was what I thought the Meryl would be like I I expected. Yeah, okay, I don't explain, thank you. Share was still great. It was still great, but like that's like the mayor. I thought it would be more like I thought Meryl would be. Like helicopter and ha ha,

helicopter in Beautiful. We all deserved that role someday. Sorry, we're all actors. We all deserve that. We all deserve the helicopter and ha ha. I think that's true though, everyone needs there helicopter in ha ha moment even like even like a slowly descending the stairs to a great fan fair moment, like we all deserve that. If it can't be one, it has to be the other post. I think it's like if it's a joke that you're bigger than the movie, that's a helicopter. Ha. Yeah, she

doesn't need this helicopter if your participation is a plot point. Girls, I'm so. I'm truly so overjoyed and honored to be with you. I really am sorry. I know this is the thing that Metra hates, but these are some of my favorite humans. And I agree, and Listen is one of my favorite humans. I would not podcast without her. No, but we laugh, but like, you guys really are some of my favorite humans. It's not a joke when we say that you guys are some of our favorite hums. No,

but I know it's not a joke. But when you say it this, it's it's sort of helicopter. It's it's very young lives to say humans. Yeah, like like like like youth group, like church kids. Yeah, I love these amazing humans. You know what though, it's pretty inclusive. Yeah. Everyone,

it's every the word like or young lives humans. Humans. Okay, okay, you talk about young life put any religion in how do we but how do we express an earnest thought that is completely detent, does not have any irony to it that Like I'm like, I'm so happy to be with my friends, right, I feel like everyone. I feel like, you know, who's really good at that? Metra gene always because because she's crying and you feel like you have to do a lot of work to like sort of

let make sure she's okay. Um, but like, yeah, you are, You're very good at being a like like step away sidebar. This is my genuine feeling. And I love you heart, heart, hug moment, good friend you really and it's beautiful because she's just as good as being the opposite. And like, truly, Colin can be a total stunty a bit that's not true. That's not true, And I'm st I'm sick of this ship. And you know what, I do say the slur another I do say, you really really really want to make it?

I don't. She would be the last person, you know what. I was just thinking, what would be what you guys could do as a stunty thing, like like if you guys, if you guys, if we got into like sort of a fight at the end of this episode. And then you guys didn't come on the podcast for sixty years, and then in sixty years, you guys come back, and are all our listeners will die? Then that will be when when they all die of joy and happiness and um and this is U saying you don't want us

to come back for a really long time. You know, you guys aren't allowed back for sixty years. But but Matt saying, we we set up like a kill Bill volume three thing where it's like we we create our children when they have podcasts, come back on my child, won't. My ancestors in Iran were some of the first part you know, her ancient versions actually invented podcasting and his family has been producing them for century. Who do you think is the Bowen? And who do you think is

the matter of nietzsch and Ice podcast? Can you guess? I can guess? It's interesting. I think I'm the Metra and Matt's the Jewel. No Jeel feels he is an authority to say this. But you can't see you. I think you can't see your own podcast. It's like a thing. It's like when you look at a picture. It's not really you can't see your own I'm the mat and Metris the bone. That's what I said, seeing that energy. Why use code urgent? I love that. The code that people have to use to use a therapy site for

you is urgent, urgent, urgent. Well, and speaking of better help, there's no better fast to chat with your online therapist than a cast for magic. My former employers shout out, oh my god, what a what a fun moment when a lot of Brooklyn A comedians working at CASP. That was that was nice there from the beginning, wreaking in that show room from the ground up. I love you guys. Are you still are you still a company woman? I actually do have a Casper mattress. Actually he loix girls.

So the fact that you did that startup started a war. Wow, and this can be where the fight starts. Remember remember this, we're breaking, we're breaking the story a little bit a little so fun to be in the blue Sky phase because you can say anything, you could do anything. My character of Mietra has huge tits. We'll talk about that a little bit more. Actually, because you have been considering the procedure, you're going to get big knock. I said to Joel that I thought it would be really funny

if one day I had huge hits. We're there. I think we're all at that age now where we were thinking and we're into where like at this age in it's kind of like, yeah, you think about a procedure you want. Sometimes I don't think that would be the one for me, but but I do think, like, just in terms of like personality, I would be a really funny person to just walk out with like huge just like someone who like like doesn't I don't really like

dress for my body. I wonder what a man's large T shirt would look like over met with huge tips. I literally today I got some new jeans and I put them on and they fit great, and I was like,

I have to tell Joeli, Oh my god. I So Greta came over the other day and I we were trying to figure her outfit out for a self tape, and Joel gave me a shirt that looks historically hot on him and he let me have it, and I was like, oh my god, it only sort of worked on me, and I told him it really worked on Oh my god, random that something looks great on the Hottest Bird and she like, she goes, she goes, it's cute.

I wonder if I should just and she sort of tied it up and like her like waist and tightened it and like she's like, I wonder if I should just do this? And I was like, oh, you're ready for the cover of the Hottest Teen mag How people so effortlessly stunning? I'm sorry, keep going real, I know it's crazy. She really has she has a genu. She tied it up and then I was like and then she added in sults injury. I was like, you should

keep it. It looks really good on you, and she was like, no, you have it so like she gave it back to me, and so now every time I put it on, I'll know it wasn't mine to begin with. It look hot on Joel, and it was taken from me, tried on, looked stunning and handed back instead of make it work about are different, No, they're not. At the end of the everyone has the same body, and that's beautiful.

Everyone is the same proportions. I want to clarify what I said earlier, which is that we're at that age where we're thinking about procedures, but but I want to clarify that put I want to contextualize this, and I keep talking about this Talentino piece in The New York or about Instagram face, and about how like we're moving in the direction where like self care or where cosmetic procedures are going to be sort of a quay or under the und of self care self under the umbrella

self care, where it's like going to the spot is like getting her like getting a filler or something, you know. And I feel like that's already like housewives language around, yeah, of just like to take care of myself. And then I see that online a lot of like getting getting You're taking care of yourself by getting the procedure that you want to get. That's like you taking care of yourself.

For sure. I probably probably quoted this before, but at the end of this piece, um like you quoted it before. She she she interviews the like the like the biggest

like Beverly Hills plastic surgeon or person or whatever. He works with Kim Kardashian and he's like, you know that feeling when you get a great haircut, you look in the mirror and you're like, this is the best version of myself like that is the that is the feeling you get from these procedures times a thousand, Like you're just like this is the way I think I should look. And it's terrifying because because we all want that feeling in a way, in a way, we do start not

to like it's weird. How many more times I've been like, well, you could just do this, like did little things because you feel like it's available. Um, and yeah, it's probably because it is very standard. It's not technically available, Like I'm not gonna like that doesn't fit into my life. Well, what do you want to figure out if it's available? Yeah,

we can look it up. I would match. Just did some matches pulled back to like like like like and I have an underbyte, so I want to like but that's like orthodox you need a chin, you need a new chin when you need to chow. But that's not orthodotra side, that's like Maximo facial stuff. But like I want like an apologize, like I want to like, I'm so sorry I might I want like this And is it so fucked up that we're talking about this? So what you're saying is you want to you wanna you

want a man's chiseled chin. No, it's not. It doesn't have to be chiseled it. It just needs to be like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that would be used like Joel has a chiseled chin, has a chisel jawline, so we should take his. Let's take his, give your chin for I would give more than my chin for bo Oh. Can you assign like like heart, heart organ, heart dorner things to certain people, like I know you can sign up to be a heart organ all these things. Don't know? But can I can I specify who I

want to have it? I don't think so. I don't think unless immediately. I want you to have my heart, Joel, I want you to have my brain, Mitra, I want you to have my stomach bowing. Okay, oh my god? Why did get the smallest one got the biggest? I didn't really think about it. I just kind of want you guys to have things of mine. I'm going to do really good stuff with your brain. Do we get it, give them transplanted, or do we just keep them like in a jar. It's not up to me. I'm putting

it in a dog, talking dog dog. It's Christmas Show, Matt. We haven't talked about this. What have you heard of Christmas? I was thinking either day, it was like, it's such a shape him that you know, that's my favorite Christmas. That is actually my favorite. That is literally the only piece of prison. I've gone to Matt's Christmas Show every year since it started happening, and that is really my only Christmas tradition. I genuinely it makes me so happy

when you come every year. And Joe finally saw it this year. I know it's not for lack of trying. No, I know that. I know it's truly breaking, babe. It is really it's honestly, if I can be honest, it's definitely like put a real cloud over this time of year because it's that thing that I get to do at the end of the year that I feel like pulls me out of a funk um. And I just feel like it didn't have to be cute in July just to get it in. Yeah, I hope to do it in in like May July, but May June July,

I feel like sure. And then I thought to myself, like, did I severely funk up by not finding a way to do it on streaming or like like in any way even on my instag I'm being stupid, like why didn't I do this? But then I was just like, I'm not in the mood, you know what I mean. It's weird and I'd rather just such in the room thing and like like that the I don't want to ruin anything, but like the moment at the end where you like million like involve us, like where we go

it's my favorite thing. I yeah, you're right, I should. It has to be presented in the right way. I can't just like toss it out there, um and it because of the Christmas in July of it all you got, so I feel like next year people also, I could you could technically do a Christmas show at anytime during the year. It would just be funny that it wasn't

happening during Christmas. Maybe I won't go any time. It's one of the funniest things you can do, actually, is put a Christmas thing in the middle of It's actually hilarious because I think about the opposite factor, and that's what they call it in comedy, the opposite factor, you know what I mean. It's like sort of like like when you see when you see a fireman and like he's like doing a real tough thing and then takes off his helmet and it's like it's a little girl.

It's like there's like an opposite in their presentation. Well because and then and then it's the and then that's the that's like the idea the big Hollywood movie is it's a fireman, but she's also a little girl who goes to school. Sold and you know that's a movie with like the Rock and the Rock, The Rock and Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah, and so what's his role in it? Because he's not he's the reluctant trainer. He's like, yeah, he's the trainer. Trains are just for a fire Yeah.

And she's like, come on, put me in coach and this takes me. This takes place in Britain. They don't have Fireman over there. Yeah, it's so soggy there, like nothing catches a place. That's true. Wait, whenever if Joel's if Joel says something, I immediately go it's true. Thing is he's possessing. I still don't know. I'm still like, but what about all the chimneys that famously are swept there?

This is the Taylor Momson is dead sort of moment we are there firefighters, and I mean, this shouldn't be that shouldn't be the title of that. But wouldn't it be funny? It's not funny if Taylor Momson is dead was the title? Yeah, it's like you're breaking the news, Taylor Momson. I feel bad Taylor. I think she's young. Historically, she's historically young, young, she's an epic. Taylor Mompson dead at thirty two is funny because it's sort of like

a prediction. Oh okay, ready, star actress Taylor Momson start rocker, rocker, She wasn't she wasn't. I think she was both when she did where are You Christmas? When she was a child in the Grin did the hell out of that role she was She was such a powerful actress in that role. No one else would have done what she did. She gave grounded. She was grounded, Cindy Looy, she was gritty,

she was real. To go to Fanning? Who Taylor Tacob hike, Hollywood said, take a hike, Dakota Market correcting corrected, miss that's right, the ceiling. Could El Fanning ever have done what Taylor Momson did in that role. Yes, she is iconic in Babel. Yeah, she's a little girl who she was very much the little girl. So don't forget. She's the star of the biggest films, Maleficent. She's the star of Maleficent, the biggest films in the world. These are

huge blockbusters. Two, these are blockbuster films. Oh my god, Maleficent too. You guys should you guys should watch that one. Oh my god. Substance when the dragon, when the dragon, the dragon girl in his hand, when the dragon. You can't see it, readers, But I'm doing sort of a dragon claw. What do you guys think of Like Matt's Like, I think Matt is so expressive with his hands in a way that not a lot of other people are. I just like, there's so much energy. I'm from fucking

Long Island, New York. He consistently does this to me. He regionalizes me, and he sort of tosses us all in. But you know what, there's differences between New Jersey and New York and Long Island. Damn. That's the conversation we need to be having in this country right now, between New Jersey and New Yorkers. No, we shouldn't talk about us at all. It's the one housewives franchise. I will refuse to watch as because it's too real criminals. Okay, no,

it's literally too real. I see I see like family and friends in it. I'm like, oh God to me, it's so dark and real, and I'm going to jail. I'm like, yeah, people, I know, gonna go to jail. That's why I don't watch Hill Billy Elogy because you see too much. You see too much of you. Yeah, did you try to watch it? I haven't yet, but I haven't either. I'm excited, but I just haven't had like the night I'm gonna. I'm gonna need to make a night of it, and I just haven't had that

night yet. Popcorn and everything, popcorn, box of tissues for all. That's gonna be a big night. But really, I haven't watched Shaws of Sunset for that reason. There is no Asian there is no real like East Asian Housewives equivalent. Um, I think you can. You can do like like Korean rich Korean kids in like l A or something that would be fun. I definitely you could do like parachute

kids too. What's that parachute kids? It's like um when um they send over like oh yeah yeah, yeah, um kids to like go to really good schools over here, and they're living basically alone sometimes and like they're very very wealthy and they yeah, that's a parachute and they need a reality show. Yeah they do. And that the last the last thing that's sort of missing from their

development is they need a reality show. Then just the sort of skyrocket at that point, well yeah yeah, I mean that's what it takes to sort of bring awareness to these people, is that they're on a show. I would watch. I would totally watch. I would be I mean, I'll watch anything about um, someone moore money than me. So it's kind of funny like as of late, I've been watching so much Architectural Digest home tours and just being like, oh the fireplace, yes, the ceiling, like like

noticing things. It's like home design and all of that has become a real interest of mine. And it's the more money the better, the more I could never be able to afford it, the better I'm watching. Um liv Tyler's was my her being like so nobody actually like knew what wallpaper was, but then I got wallpaper, and then people started using wallpaper, so I sort of love that about He was just like, this is a door that's really big. This is another door that's nicole. She's like,

I love gray, and my look is very modern. It's very modern. And then everything in my home looks like death. They're My favorite thing about liv Tyler's was when she's like outside and she's like, there's um and over there are my neighbors. They're my friends friends, setting the example my friend your neighbors, um. The one I just watched. Greta was over and we watched Dita Vontisse and it was so it was just her whole home is an extension of her brand. Really, she goes, there's actually not

a comfortable place to sit in the entire house. She's suppost fully like, you can't use or do anything here. So my bed is actually a girdle. It's just like all it's like there's taxider ethical taxidermy everywhere, because the animals died first, and the animals you said, I love, you made love to death. You put them into leave a heart attack and die from ecstasy, and then you're a lot of stuff them that's legal, holy okay. And then basically the animals die of natural causes and you're

allowed to hang them up in your home. Wow, do you letting gets so old and ugly? And what you do is you adopt one, You adopt an endangered species, and then when it dies, you get to hang it up in your so cool epic steam punk sligh. Here's a good question. What celebrity, well current celebrity, do you think might be guilty of taxid Army mel Gibson of no poaching, poaching, Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson, I have one

from Mel Gibson, who's a poacher? Um. I think I think Lady Gaga secretly, I think she's She's expressed for some reason during her of course, when she was promoting Joe and she was like, yeah, I've shot a gun. She's like, I've shot I've shot guns before. Yeah, you can't shoot shoot hands off of my uncle's fans. Whatever. I'm like, Okay, Gaga choose to promote Joe Anne, but I think she's like, shot a shot at animals before,

and she kind of likes it. One thing, what do you guys think when you see, like, you know, just a gay person that you know and then they go home and all of a sudden, it turns out they hunt with their family. Do you do it? Do they exists a gay person that you know? It's just like from l a from New York, just like whatever. They're just out whatever, and then they go home and see their family and they are great up hunting and carcasses. Your story. Who Matt is talking about? What I've experienced

this as well? Um, carcasses? Do I know this person? Okay, what were you saying? I was just agreeing with Matt that I've experienced this phenomenon as well. So I recognize who you're recognizing, and I see your sister and I want to tell you it's that person. And subsequently other people I followed. Turns out like big game. But like, but you know they're out there, you know, shooting geese. They're they're out there. You know, deers are taking bullets.

It's kind of crazy, deers are taking bullets. I mean, I don't mean for us to sound like soft handed city people who are like hunting. Well, I was about to say, I feel like it's not that shocking for me because so many people from where I'm from are like hunting. Um, I don't know, that is the question. Yeah, maybe not. I don't know. I guess I never thought

about it before. I'll find check in. I'll check in so many of people I want to high school with our private and it kills me because what I really want is just I want like fifteen minutes of scrolling through eight hundred photos and then I'm never going to look again. And but but I don't want to follow for that experience. I want to just be able. You don't want to alert them to your presence. You want

to be able to do it anonymously. Yes. Yes, It's truly blessed and miraculous that I've only had maybe four people total from high school. Like ever, I feel like reaching out to me over any medium, and I'm like, this,

I hacked it. I did it like no one's like hitting me up, crawling out of the woodwork, like from that part of my life, that time in my life, being like, hey, how you doing, I'm like, I have no real interest in seeing you or even being reminded that you exist, And this is how it should be, Okay,

very lucky. I don't know. I mean when I would see everyone was at when you'd go home for Thanksgiving or Christmas and seep everyone at the bar the night before Thanksgiving or at the board the night before Christmas Eve, and I feel like I wouldn't get the damn invitation and I loved it. Sorry, I keep going. You would have to just show up at Maxwell's in our town and everyone would be there, and yes it was called Maxwell's. Well, you ever want to come to a million weddings, please

let me know. Are you still going to a lot of weddings from high school? I mean not this year, but I was. I did have several from high school this year that I was going to go to, and yeah, I'm I'm going to at least for like, whenever weddings start again. I had. I had I think four or five that were moved next year to it just seemed like this was a sweet spot to all of them. I do like a wedding because it's food, you drink so much, You see your buddies. I'm looking at a

picture of Mitra and I had a wedding. Wait, let's see it. Oh my god. First of all, you look hot? Whoa you guys? Oh love? We love Megan and Siege. Um Metra, your hair looks so good in that? Oh my god, thank you. It looks like ship today as usual.

A pleasure to see Ugil, do you feel like That's another thing about weddings too, is you do get to get a little you know gussie though, and that's sort of the thing that you know, I I like, you know, like getting it ready for a picture, like remember problem pictures. I have a story about prom. Okay, so this well it's it's a saga. So my big, my big prom

story is that my junior year of prom. I have two stories actually, and my junior of prom I went with a senior This is important because he graduated and we had a really bad time at prom. He graduated and then um that and then his senior year he had won the talent show. That's an important detail. So my senior year he sang um. So my senior year,

we have the talent show again. And if you are the winner of the talent show, you are allowed to return and perform at the subsequent years talent show, even if you are graduated. So he returned to perform and he sang a song about me called Medusa in front of the seven people. Did did dale in the audience know? Yeah? I remember returning to my friend and she was dating his really close friend and I remember turning to her and I was like, isn't like yeah, and she couldn't

give you the heads up. I don't know if she knew, but he didn't know Medusa was being performed. No, but I think it was just like every but it was like, this is clearly about you. And I was really like maybe being insane, like not everything you remember what any of the lyrics were. It was like, um, I actually had him send me the lyrics like several years later, and he was like very like game about it, but

it was something about like like her Stare. It was very like high school boy like her Stare turns me to stone blah blah blah like. But then I like, like the way it ends is like now I reject her and I turned hurt. He he he took the power back from me. He took it back the night from me because I didn't right, you fucking monster refusing

to kiss. Oh my god. Tote a song called Medusa either means you are a boy who just graduated high school or you're like us already five year old pop star like what worse or what or virtual or your ava Max or like a single called Medusasadusa. I'm gonna it's I love it already, I really do. Immediately the song that came in my head was in the in the I don't remember what it became, but Burka, uh that they became. It became It's basically and they just changed it to aura. Do you really want to peek

behind the girl? People the girl behind the burka behind the Aura behind behind and then of course your Lebaneese, your orient and then also is it is it the next album where she has Gypsy? Hey? Unfortunately Gypsy is a fucking great song, but really, but it is Lady Gaga uncancellable, like I just I hope, so like, yeah, where was the like where I guess there must have been dialogue about burke up, but there was absolutely dialogue about but the but the song got fully produced. It's

like these things make it through someone's not something. It's really wild. I mean, if you get that ultra world famous at twenty three, then yeah, you're gonna You're gonna you your brain is going to be broken enough to be like, yes, this is worth pushing through all the way. At that point, I feel like you have to hire someone that hates you to be on your team and be like this is a this is bad. You just need someone to be like no, you need one negative.

Do you remember that story that came out? Um that was like probably like somebody who was friends with Perfume Genius was like Perfume Genius and Adele were at this this event with Lady Gaga and Lady Gaga was like, do you want to hear my new album? This is right before Chromatica came out, and um, she listened to the She played them the whole album and then Adele sent everyone out of the room and it was like

this album is terrible. You cannot release this album. But it wasn't CHROMATICA, right, it didn't end U being it was CHROMATICA. Well, we don't know, we don't know. Yes, I remember the story, Yeah, yes, um, so Adele was. Where was Adele for Berka? Is sort of the she hadn't yet really hit her stride yet. They just didn't

align for Berka, you know what I mean? Like, well all the stars line, but I del but jealous someone who like she played it for Rick Rubin and he was like she played like a demos of other songs and he was like, you can't release this, and she

was like okay, and I'm gonna rewrite. I'm gonna be do you the whole thing, and then she ended up releasing so she's she's just paying that forward because someone else did that to her, which is like perfect, you know, but it would be hard to have to look into Lady Gaga's eyes and be like, do another album, like you must have, like Adele must have, and she's earned a lot of like confidence, like to just be like to Lady Gaga, who's Lady Gaga, be like, you must

record a new album and you must be called a new album. This is bad vibe. You have the album. She's the fucking face of deal. Yeah, I want that job. I want that to be like no, yeah, this is crazy ze and not like good Back to the drawing board changed to Aura baby, Yeah, it's Burka. It needs to be Aura and the lyrics in the verse of the bridge you can have one Burka as a treat and then takes a little slurp of his water. Okay, well hold on, everyone, say one thing that's been unaddressed

so far and then we can move on. I just feel like I came here to talk about culture. I sort of came here, you know, to discuss and share thoughts about culture, and I haven't been really given a platform to do that. And I've been sort of standing by here and watching you guys sort of run your podcast into the ground, um in front of Nutra and I um, but you know, and I stood back and I sort of said, I'm gonna let this happen. And

Mitro agrees with me. She's been chatting me the same thoughts sort of this whole time, and we've and it's been freeing, honestly, just sort of sit back and sort of not have to sear a conversation because it's not our house. It's not Metridis house today, you know, like it's your house. Okay, I understand that it hurts me to hear, but this is the exact point I was making earlier that I ended up apologizing for. Ironically, but I take it back, because that's what I'm saying. You

guys are not friends. You guys should be the friends to say, hey, reverse change your course, and you and you haven't done that because we're in your house. I'm agreeing with Joel. Wait a minute, it's the three of you against me. Yeah, this sucks. I'm kind of just figuring out where I stand on this. Uh yeah, yeah, I'm really bad at you. Boe. I want to know. I want to know what take because we don't have them. Okay, I'll we we should all go around round Robin and

do it a cultural take. I'll start Um the flight attendant, Corny and bad Um, Kaylee, Coco and Estonian as in gen I think she's great, but I think she was stupid and bad. It's possible to pull positive exile. Yeah. No, And TV, well, he's having a he's an be a big week. He's back on Grey's Anatomy. He's really he like Meredith is in her like COVID coma and is seeing dead people and so it is crazy to think

that they're doing that as a storyline. And so she's walking around on this beach and she's running into dead into which is just which is telling this the show telling on itself for how many people it's killed off? How did it kill tr Night? Oh babe. He got hit by a bus so badly that his entire body was unrecognizable. And a big twist in the episode that he dies in is Basically, this trauma patient is George.

They're holding they're holding hands with him, and he like signs into their hand I'm George, oh literally, but he's an unrecognizable run over by getting hit by a bus. Of course, life itself moment use that I think at least two, maybe three times. So it's a theme. It is a theme. Not enough of it, not enough of it, okay, but tennant. I was in the first three episodes, and then by the end of episode four, I was like, oh,

this is actually terribly terribly constructed. Unfortunately, but Kayleie great, Rosie love. But I will watch watch every episode. It doesn't stay on the rails, that's for sure, but I'm sure we're gonna watch every episode and there might be something interesting happening with Rosie Perez on it. Rosie Perez saying a character named Megan, Megan Briscow, Megan and Briscow.

But it's so weird, how I don't. I just finished the first Spider Man game where like the main the main villain is like a Chinese guy who has a gang of Chinese people like chase you, to chase you around the city. And then I just hot off the heels of that. I'm watching The Flight Attendant, where like the bad, threatening, scary people are like these Korean men who are like following all the characters around, and I'm like, what is this. I'm not saying there's like a problematic

thing going on. I'm just like, why am I like drawn to these things? Were like, yeah, you're the problem. I think that is a really good takeaway. You should really lean into that that it's your fault. Well that, I'm just like, what why am I like stumbling on these like these pieces of media that are all like

these Asian men and suits are scary. I don't know, Well, it's because there are people are like, oh god, the terrorist thing is so tired, like we kind of psyched through every single Middle Eastern actor that has never will be So we have to like find somewhere else until we have to do age into age into the working. We need a fresh crop. What are people scared of now? China? Yeah? Sure, sure, um, okay, that's good. I have a take Okay, I am up to date on what I'm calling this. Who lose a teacher?

But on Hulse a teacher is that He's adding Hulu is in front of it is is Matt's trademark. I'm saying I don't like just saying I'm watching a teacher. I'm watching Hulu teach sounder of Hulu wean's the teacher. Yes, Yes, And in watching that, I have discovered that Kate Mara is actually a capitalty talent. Welcome, Welcome home, and I know that I'm sort of like being welcome with open arms in a sort of me as Meredith Gray and a COVID coma running on the beach towards like, let's say,

Christina moment um. And I really appreciate the work that she did in this last episode, which is episode six, but seven episodes will be out by the time this comes out readers, so I'm sure are chopping at the bit to watch Who Lose a Teacher? But in episode six, the ship hits the fans, so to speak, and that's something that people say, this is an expression of when

the things get really crazy in the show. And so things have gotten really crazy in the show, and Kate Mara has displayed some quiet, precise, emotional, just really stomach churning work. How is love Simon? Love Simon is good and he has a name which is Nick Robinson, but he will be not as left Simon forever. And I love Simon is to a talent and he really pulls it out. And also he's good casting because we feel he's a teen, but also he is older. He's like

twenty five. So it's weird because you're sort of watching it and you're like, oh, like there's chemistry there. I kind of want these two to funk, and then you're like, oh, wait, like he's playing a seventeen year old on the show. That's so bad. And I do think it's weird what

they've managed to do. What or not not what's weird what they've managed to do, But what we've accepted is like, um, in Desperate House, I was like, Eva Longoria is like this like vamp who foks like this, Oh my god, sixteen year old in the show, which is the character of John, who's played by a thirty year old. I mean, yeah, I think that one is easy because he looks her age and they're like he's sixteen, and it's like you never would but in this like you buy Nick Robinson

as a teen, but you know it's twenty five. So like the politics, even in your mind, are kind of crazy. But then the show is like, no, this is wrong. They bookend it with if you are someone you know has been a victim of grooming, like really explores that, Like the show is a lot you know has been a girl doing him let's say it. Um, but yeah the show. The show ends up being more about the fallout of and uh sort of um abuse of the situation, and less about like they're having a sexy affair, which

I think is great and it is. That's interesting to see a lead character which is a like an abuser, that's a woman towards a male victim. It's interesting. What do you see in what's next for for Kate? I think probably um girl thor yeah girl, I know Natalie Portman is doing it, but I'm sure she'll have to drop out for like to play Jackie Jackie oh again. And there's gonna be a sequel to that. I heard, so she'll want to go do that. It's called Jackie too, and it's more her as like a little bit older

and yeah, she got different air and stuff. She's like shopping. She has your boyfriend. His name is on Assis and it's like very high yea. His name is onassist. His name is Jackie too coland his name is Oasis. And it's like a lot of them shopping and stuff and hard more having fun for later years, so she'll probably want to do that. And so Americans Long Island, Long Island, Jackie too, like the way you say Jackie too, Long Island. Did you see Jackie Too? Wait? Did you see Spider Man?

It was so good. I thought they like every movie, those girls. I thought, oh I got four Christmas is that was so good. I thought that was so good. I thought, Okay, I have a culture. Okay, I'm dissipating. Um My take is that Botched is better than Niptuck. Wait, and the two are, of course sister shows what they are. If you're me watching both of them, the normal Heart is better than Rent like it is just because they're both sort of tangentially about the same thing. It seems

sorry to hear a word you said. Botch is a reality. Niptuck is famously a serialized Ryan Murphy drama, So go ahead say why what's so good about Botched? Botched, I would argue, gives you more like satisfying drama and catharsis every episode than Niptuck and I've watched the first season of Niptuck now for no reason. Um, so you didn't get to the good part of Niptuck where there's like a killer. I just was like, why am I doing this? I never really stopped to ask why. As soon as

I did that, it was time to stop watching. Did you find the show sexy? No? It really like every like it just like um like I don't I don't know, like like Tom Cruise, like Bruce Willis, Like it was very just like he's whipping the short open. Isn't that what you want? It was a specific Tom Cruise, this like Tom Cruise Bruce Willis attitude. Yeah, I felt like

what it like? What like? I felt like what is which was weird given the creator, But it's like I felt like what a straight guy think a straight woman wants to see, Like you want to be thrown up on the table, you want to be like you want the man in charge to it feels like a show for straight guys. Like it was really like that, like Mr Mr Miami fucking and sucking all over town and his sports car and his house so fucking weird and bad.

Turning coke off a stripper's ass and it kicks into the curb and like takes big money and it was very like okay, and you were you were you weren't down to watch the second season. I didn't make it there know, but I um tanada ten would recommend it to absolutely anyone rather botched now that botched. I have watched have you seen the plastic surgery show that has the female plastic surgeons? Nobody've seen a million commercials for

it while watching Bodged. What's that called? What's that show called? Does anyone know? It's called Bitch Plastic Surge? Hurry, fans of urgent care will know. Hy y. I feel like I feel like Boxed. You know you've given me something, You've inspired me. Mitra, I'm gonna watch box I was like, I want something that's like reality, but there's some like procedural element to it. Literally, I mean I guess literally and like, yeah, I want to finish it. You can

leave the room and come back and it's perfect. I would say, if you really want a short term answer to that, Dr pimple Popper is also a great one. I can't do it. It's so satisfying though, it's so satisfying, and I can't believe it's a full show because it's every episode is the same. Somebody's got a weird growth and then she takes it off and it's a happy ending everything. Actually, one of the more angry times I've had was with with was because one morning I woke

up to him watching Dr Pimple. Like the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a pimple being like explode. So even it wasn't like he didn't do anything that wrong, but I was really like, this is beyond the panel. No, that's an assault on your sensus and it has to be talked about. It's about to wake up to first thing in the morning. Wait, but how are you How are you guys choosing what shows to watch anymore? Because at this point it feels like I'm being given an assignment by the Internet. I

guess you know where. It's like, this is the show you gotta want. I don't fight with I don't fight with any of it. If people tell me I should watch it, I'm pretty much watching it unless I know it's gonna up up. If there's something about quarantine though that I find communal viewing very um comforting, Like I'm watching a lot of television. I'm watching a lot of

like for no reason. I could be watching these shows like on streaming commercial free, but for some reason, watching them live as it's happening and knowing that other people are watching the same things brings me some weird amount of comfort. And I've been really enjoying live texting Housewives

of People while watching it as it's happening. And um, I'm completely up to date on the mask Singer literally those reality Joel and I like consistently check in about with the Stars, the Voice, like all these We didn't really watch this season, but we thought about it. We thought about it, um and it Here's what I think too, It's like, if there's nothing happening in our lives, at least someone else is having a life. We can watch things happen in I honestly think that that is what

it is right now. It's just filling. This has to be someone else's life. That's that's right now, right because we talk about it like the way we would talk about our own lives. Like for me, I'm talking about how how things are going between Candice and Monique with the urgency, I would some friends of mine, Like it's truly like I'll check in with people all the time and be like, I just can't be teamed. I'll never

be Team Candice. But I I know Monique is wrong, and it's just like this, these are things I used to talk about, like I have a certain you know, cousin that's doing something, but I'm just nothing's happening. So you know, I'm famously team Candice and have been. And I find the discourse around team Can't, like the Candice Monique stuff to have shifted in a way because people are like, well, Candice runs her mouth, and you can't run your mouth like that and not expect some retribution.

And it's like that is the bedrock of all of these shows, is women running their mouth like that. If we're going to take the position that it is okay to enact violence on somebody for running their mouth, then I'm sorry. There's a lot of women that need to get Women deserve deserve to be beaten. Yeah. Yeah, If I might say, my problem is not with the initial altercation of it all, I pretty I see that pretty

clearly she was wrong. I guess my problem with everyone in the situation is how they're just choosing to handle it, like Candice pressing charges to the point where she knows Monique is going to go to maybe prison for this, and think she wants it like prosecuted to the full extent of the law, knowing this woman has children. It's like and the way that all the women are talking about it, because Monique obviously needs help with this problem,

not to be put in jail. That's where I rub on the whole thing, because I feel like they're just taking it to You know. What could have done though, to avoid that is apologize. I think, apologize early and apologize. I think you're right, but she has something, there's something wrong with her. She needs help for it. And I think that like it's all a big cry for help. I don't know the whole but yes, also maybe she is sentencing. I don't think she would be put in jail.

I really don't. I really don't think she'd be put in jail. It's just weird and do so you think that Candice is doing real real Housewives to be here by saying she wants it pursued to the full. I think that, well. I think she's dumb as a fucking box of Rocks. I don't think she knows how the system works. Um, but I don't think that the I don't think that the justice system would put Monique in prison. And maybe that's not eive of me, but maybe that is.

I don't think Cannice is that dumb, though out of out of all seven of them, she's one of the smarter ones. I would say, are you a potomac watcher? I am? Giselle is actually designing my house right now. Tones l tones everywhere. Yeah. I asked for hot pink, black, white, chrome, um, yeah and um and then yeah. So it just sort of comes with the gun for what you're handle looking at it. Can I reveal? Can I reveal? Um? I was going to reveal this on our podcast Metro, but

I'll reveal it now. But I did get you a gift that is out been canceled because of UM. I got an email, so I ordered you one of Robin Dixon's hats for Christmas. The order because of COVID I ago, and I got an email recently that was like basically she was like, I was like, where's the hat? And the email was basically like the hat will not be fulfilled. But even you getting order. Placing that order is the perfect Wait, but this is crazy to me. It's it's COVID.

Maybe she just genuinely couldn't figure out, but you gotta figure it. How shocking that Robin Dixon couldn't figure out her small her small hat business. We watched her son's fulfilled the order. You're right, a hundred thousand dollars in back taps. She doesn't know how to put a hat in a box. And time for Christmas. Oh my god, that is an amazing game. That's really good. We all gassed on this reader. If you could see as soon as Joel said that the words really sad. I'm really sad.

That actually might still come. It just definitely won't come until next year sometime. You're going to get it in April when she's onto a new venture. I can't wait, And I'm gonna get you a bucket of ladom. I watched. I watched this YouTuber. Her name is the Brook Ashley, and she goes over every episode of Potomac and she

is firmly um anti anti Monique. And I'm getting the sense now that a lot of the fan community is sort of positioning themselves anti Monique in a way where it makes me feel like sad because she won't come back to the show because I still am operating in this um world where they all returned to the show, but they're not going to figure he said, they're all back. What he season for for sex for the next season. Yeah,

he literally said on Everything Iconic. I think on a podcast he was like, all all of them are back, including winding. Wow. Okay that maybe the fact that they couldn't film together a lot of the time kept Monique in the game because for during COVID, Yeah, because I don't see unless they gets resolved. I think like maybe he meant like offers are out, but like so maybe she might opt to not come back, but like she's not fired, he's not. She she seems to want to

stay as well. I don't think it's a situation where she wants out either. Um well, she said on the rear view, like she wants to continue to be on the show to try to set her own narrative as long as possible, like like and she she genuinely felt that when everything rolled out, she'd be vindicated when it was shown on television. Yeah, no, not what happened. No, that decidedly. No. We saw her go nuts. Who do we identify with on Salt Lakes today? Have we all watched? Yes?

I know mine. I love You're Meredith who? But who do you identify with your you identify as a Merida, as a Meredith. I think, um, I think I'm maybe I identify a little bit more with m Mary. I feel like you're a Whitney. You're not married? Sure, no, actually that's fair. Whitney to you feel like Whitney to me. Okay, that's a little insulting, but I'll take it. No, I think I love we love Whitney. She's so fun Whitney.

The first episodes of like who Gives a Ship? And now I'm like, oh wait, like you're like she like has She's good in the Talking Heads she is. She's like, um, a little more Caddy than like she's getting Caddy or as the talking Heads go, yeah, she's starting to you know, say what she really thinks the producers are finding her. She is by far the most athletic housewife we've ever had. Her snowboard Jay and Hustlers was shook. Yeah, I mean yes,

I imagine any other housewife snowboard with that core String. Yeah, I know, it's wild watching them. It's like slay snowboarding. I was like, this is who utah baby, that's like ski culture. It's like it's just part it's just you. You gotta know how to do it well. It's it's wild.

As Sean mendez One said, it isn't there that I feel like Lisa because definitely I'm definitely Lisa, because this is why Meredith comes to her to tell her something important about her life that she's separating from her husband, and Lisa can't stop asking if it's going to make her cry. She was like, am I gonna cry? Will it make me cry? I don't want to cry. I think I'm gonna cry. I'm crying now, and Meredith ends up consoling her. I think actually the more important thing

about that can it was can I touch? Can I touch? That's and that woman is so uncomfortable like you are. Actually that's my role, That's who I think. She was like, you really want to touch? You are to toucher, aren't you. It's like, no, bitch, you can't touch this ship. But I am one to stop at four different fast food restaurants. The way she's raising her children is definitely the way you would raise yours. And I think you are Meredith. Yeah,

I'm I'm I'm disengaging. I'm disengaging. I'm juststing. I'm not engaging. Yeah, you're not going to do my phone, You're not. You don't think I'm Meredith. I think maybe you're Meredith. But I'm trying to figure out if you give me Heather, you could be Heather too. But I think Metri's Heather. I think Metri's Heather. Heather, I'm not quick enough to be Heather. She had a good episode, she had a good great don't clear the burger or the or the that. That is the moment where I was like, I'm in

I'm so. I already liked Heather, but I was like her doing that. I was like, I'm with you. Her calling the uber driver being like, I'm the flapper who has flapper, I'm a flapper with Ca'm like I love her. She goes, I'm looking like a flapper with looking like a flapper with cankles, I'm like, great, God. And also when she goes, when when the conflict was happening at the next table and she goes, I mean, I'll go over there if we make on contact, but if not,

I'm gonna wait from my lollipop chicken, perfect, perfect. I think it's Mitra. I think's Heather. Do you feel like Heather Mitra? I was gonna say either Heather or Whitney. I think I'm one of the cousins. You have Pie, you have pioneer ancestors, just like like my ancestors. I'm ready to blaze. The one that's one that's good that no one talks about is when you take sheep shots,

always expect to hang over a great one. The worst is the jealousy is disease, to which I say, is psychotic, it's literally, it's literally a pat Rigan quote jealousy disease, to which I say, it's so, it's it's it's perfect, to which and I'm thinking, I think you're probably wondering what I would say to jealousy would say, to which I would say, yeah, well soon is what I would say to jealousy, to which I would say, whatever, whatever a disease exists, I have to say something. Ultimately, I

think Jens might be the worst. It's the most low impact. This queen, I'm queen be very much to me like she is. She's the one who is most self aware trying to give housewives like she's the one she like, She's like this, I'm on a show, and I should be doing I should be giving this for the show. And that's and that's why it's not connecting for him. And you know what's weird is she is in direct conflict with Mary, who I think feels like she has to do the housewives thing the least. She is not

trying to say things like a housewife. She's not trying to act like a housewife. She's just being herself and she just is and she has an interesting storyline, doesn't have to like do anything to make conflict happen. Such a shame because Jen is too. It's like you seven assistants, baby, That's not inherently it's sad, it's it's just not um something that like hooks us Mary. It's like, oh my god,

there's so much going on here. The summer this Champagne was made, fifty people died and that's ever ever, Oh my god, people die in the wildfires, scrapes, ever. She's the scariest person. Terrified her. You on Instagram, you have to face tuned to oblivion these photos and it's their works of art, their works of art. Oh my god, I was reading about her and her life and the scary woman. Well here's a question, could you fuck your grandfather?

Would someone who who is married to your step who is married to actually had a step grandfather for for a minute there, and I could never have sucked him. He was not the one. I'm not trying to Charlene. I would never do it. I would never do it for the grandmother to put it in the will, that's what's it's not necessarily no, that's false. Though there's a

whole Reddit thread that broke this down. Basically, um that that is like sort of a like a fabrication of the behind is there's a lot of friction between Mary's mother and Mary because there's a lot of like it's it's a game of Thrones but with church, basically because Mary's mother wanted to take over the church and marry the grandfather and then he chose Mary instead, and basically like it wasn't that the grandmother wanted it to happen. He basically was like, hey, everyone, come here, I need

to pray about something. And like I was like, you just if you if you say, say yes, say as to what I'm going to pray for, And they all did, and it was about marrying Mary. Basically, I'll find the dread and send it to you. I just want you want to read all of that. It's a long We've read the same post. It's scary. I'm what I need from a reader is for them to replace the Real Housewives of Salt likeake theme song with the Game of

Thrones theme song. I need to see these women come out and do their taglines with the Game of Thrones theme song underneath. That's how I need to see Mary portrayed. Is doo do do? I want that energy announcing my ladies. I think you could do that. I want to pass enough to someone else because I don't trust myself that you think I could do that. That's a huge compliment to me that you think I could do that. I think you an incredible editor, and you need to stop.

I know inside you is an incredible editor. Not long ago, Matt Rodgers thought his laptop couldn't make PDFs, and I quote, I am positive it couldn't. I'm telling you. But when you didn't say your cultural take, and then we have so many don't. I thought though I had had a prompt us who are who are each of us in Salt City? But this is my take. Every streaming actually have a one Netflix does this on iPad now an iPhone, but every streaming ac should have a one point five

speed option to watch it through. I don't like watching things regular speed. I don't. I never listened to podcasts regular speed, audiobooks regular speed barely most YouTube videos I watch at one point seven five because you can you can change that. I don't think you should watch something I don't have the time. None of us have a speed of life is not fast enough for Bowen, the speed of natural life. Maybe maybe I need like maybe I have some attention disorder, but I'm just like I

just can't do it. You would want to watch the Flight Attendant on one point five speed, Kelly Quill doing flips save There's There are so many movies on YouTube, like especially like old Hong Kong movies that I've watched and it's in their entirety at one point five speed.

Enjoyed it so much more than I went. And are you like only are you also like on your phone while it's own one point five knowing her, I'm on my phone, I'm like less distracted if I'm watching it at like a quicker pace, because I'm like, truly, there's something like agitating about me sitting through something that's like I can't. I'll never watch the Batchelor. I'm so sorry because I cannot sit through even after commercials like an

hour and thirty minute. There's three every episode of thirteen hours, right, I can't do that. So every single video platform has to have that. That's a general thing. I disagree. I think that pace this purpose and I believe that things. And I actually am on the record for saying that I would not want anyone to listen to this podcast or Urgent Care at one point five speed. I just because I know the artist. The artists want to be

heard the way that they're speaking. Well, Joel and I are Actually we record every episode several times, so there's an episode at normal speed, and then there's an episode and that's what and that's why you deserve the acclaim you understand a claimed podcasters. Podcasters. I think this is a beautiful segment, and I don't think so, Honey, don't yes, this is I don't think Sony, this is our segment where we each take one minute to go off on something.

That's really the casual way we say when we describe what I don't think, so, honey, is go off on something in culture. And then we have about saying the words go off. It's so real we go off on something and culture. Matt, do you want to go first? Yeah? This is Matt Rodgers. I don't think so many time starts now, I don't think so, honey. There is not

enough conversation about Miley's new album. And I have been saying for months and months and even years and years that we are generation needs a Pet Benatar, and she has given you our generations Pat Benatar. And I feel that are people talking about it? I don't think so, honey. Should they be and emphatic? Yes? There are so many tracks on there that are so fucking good. This song called High, this song called Angels Like You very good, this song called Bad Karma that has Joan Jet on it,

the song called Hate Me. There's so many, so many very good songs on here. And guess what. I watched an interview with Miley and she's been through a lot. Her house burnt the funk down and She says that her voice is actually different and lower than it was before from the trauma of losing a house. So the fact that you're not appreciating her art post trauma of losing her Malibu home is something that I personally don't think so, honey, Miley Sorus is one of the defining

our artists of our generation. Bangers is Shakespearean musical effort, And I don't think so, honey. If you don't know, now, you know that's one minute. What is What does this Shakespearean musical effort mean? It just means you understand, Okay, yes, yes, so over shake. You know Shakespeare is good? Yeah, when I say, it's a Shakespearean musical effort, sort of transferring

the quality of what he did to the music. If you understand, I've been reading like an insane amount of Shakespeare and Quarantine, but amazing Twelve Season in the Real House of Atlanta, Six Seasons and Shakes and Shakespeare on the side, Oh my God, and lear Yeah, no, like God, I love like Twelfth Night. Oh my God. I am Viola. Nully Walker says, you know, Housewives is Shakespearean. The pathos is very shakespeare anyway, I guess you guys aren't fan

of Miley's new album. I love Miley's new I started it. It's great Midnight Skies. I think one of our best songs. I started anyway. I think the Paid Dust. I think it's good. Yeah, I mean it's actually really charged. The video has been described as very charged between them nice. I can't wait to check it out. At this time, it's going to be Bowen Yang's I don't think so Honey and Bowen Yang Your time starts now. I don't think so Honey. Books that don't have covers that have

bumps on where the title is. The title should have texture on the book cover, otherwise I'm not reading it. Do you know what I'm saying? You want the letters. The title has to pop out. It has to feel like I have to be able to reach over on my nightstand when it's dark and feel to cover and go, oh, yes, that's my copy of you know um Exhalation by Ted Chang.

Let's say, but but I don't think so Manylation by Ted Chang, because look, the cover doesn't have the bumpy letters, and I need that in order to feel like I'm reading a book. I need the tactile sensation that I'm reading a book. Otherwise I could be reading a pamphlet or um benefits summary of my health insurance. But no, I need to. I need my books to have some sort of character to them, and they need it needs

to be on thee because aesthetics are important. And whoever said don't judge a book by its cover was a fool. And that's one Minuteen wants more brail like letters. Yes, it is accessible. Bump the letters up? Do you guys agree? That's not what I've never thought about it. But then, now that it's been brought up, I simply have no toys but to stand. Yeah, I totally agree to, now that it's been brought up. Finally, thank you? What do you do here? I agree? I guess the letters should

be bumpy. The letters should be bumpy, like like goose Bumps, like like you know how books for kids like they had bumpy letters. That's what I'm saying. Goose Bumps got it right, Harry Potter. Even I know we don't like Harry Potter anymore, but you have to give it up for the bumpy letters. You have to give up for the you have to give it up for the mumppy letters. You can tell what book it is by touch. Who wants to go first? Um, I think metros will probably

be better, so I'll go first. I definitely won't because I don't have one sort of sort of signaling an unpreparedness. I think you're effortless, though I think you have a lot of improv training. I'm gonna ask. I know that this is for the live shows, but I wanted sort of a trollball. It's what I miss. Actually have a good troll ball for you. Okay, So do you want to go? I'll go. I'll go. Okay, So, Joe, this is gonna be joels. I don't think so, honey, or

should go. I think the anticipation of the troll ball is something I want the audience to sit with a little bit longer. So that being said, this is Joe King boosters. I don't think so honey. And as time starts now, I don't think so honey. Media, including COVID storylines in your shows and commercials, we do not want

to see it. I do not need to step inside the world of Law and Order s VU and see Detective Mariska Hargete wearing a mask, because wear masks for about five seconds and then they take them off anyways, and they are not social distancing. I don't think, so honey, the detectives on s VU not standing six ft apart while they're at work doing their jobs. I also don't think so honey. Commercial getting in on the COVID guidelines

of it all. I can't. I don't think so honey, RuPaul telling me that he can pick up I can pick up my old Navy curbside. I don't want to be reminded that I have to pick up my old Navy himself. I don't think, so honey. I don't think so honey, commercials telling me that they care about me and my family when they clearly do not and they're just trying to sell any goods and wears. I don't think, so honey. I do not want to be reminded of COVID.

I can suspend my disbelief. And that's one minute. I agree, couldn't agree more. Hey, then it's Christmas. It's the worst, but yes, Hey there it's a holiday. Is the energy? Hello? Friends? It is Christmas? Yes? And I have to say this. I watched Mariska Hargert to escape. Yeah, you know what I mean. I want I watch Mariska hargeted to be taking away to another world, you know, transported, to be transported experience watching. That's what I want, when to watch

my queen, That's what I want. That's beautiful. Thank you, Joe, I would say. And that's really a read on Gray's Anatomy, which is not not done well in this episode of last Gray's Anatomy did not do well today. I hope they recover, didn't Yeah, meet you hope. Ellen Pompeo is okay with this, all right? And so this is the fucking moment where we say to meet your Joe Harry that it is the troll bull. I don't think so, honey. Are you ready? Okay? Your troll bull topic is cowboys

and your time starts now. I don't think so, honey. Cowboys. First of all, you you look like you fucking stink ugly. Also, you all probably have you are not taking care of your skin, you old as fuck. It's sad, disgusting. I don't think so, honey. Cowboys riding horse disgusting, sad. Those guys stink too. So you can smell the screen from a thousand so honey, cowboy, Um, exclude women. Okay, how about cow girl? Ever heard of it? I don't think so, honey.

Cowboys um uh neck problems much sad, disgusting. I don't think so, honey. That's hot, smells you? I think so, honey. Um like little shoes like the knives on them or whatever. So honey, whatever your ball is sad, I'm not interested naked British cowboy. You guys are old, so honey. Cowboy dragged to filter by their own horse and Metra drag. Well, I miss the feeling of completely blacking out and saying the dumbest things, Oh my god, dragged out of here

by their boots, out of town? What are those called? If anyone's going to know the meaning of spurs, it was going to be Joel. It was going to be It was always Joe. It was always going to be you spurs. I feel like you'd rock some spurs. Yeah. Yeah. Christmas and sort of like Western gear. Actually, Joel, I already got you a Christmas gift, Mitra, I'm going to order you and let's see Christmas gift that's inspired by Joels. Wow,

Literally, yes, you got one of mine. I need a wine that's as big. Yeah, that's when I'm my favorite cups. And actually it's more of it. Actually it's more of a display piece. It is a display piece because the glitter, the sticky glitter on the outside can't endure being washed.

It also has like fused to my countertop. So it's now just like part of it, and I love it. We need to drink the size of my ass. I need to drink the size of my Did you craft to make these? But you could have? And that there's a power on that too. Yeah, that I have the vibe of glitter bespoke wine. Yes, I was like, there was no doubt in my mind that you stone these tights. Um listen. I also we forgot to say congrats to both on the release of Big Mouth. Oh my god,
