Look man, oh, I see you? Why why? Oh? And look over there? How is that culture? Yes? Goodness, last cultures calling Matt just did air quotes like yeah right, like lost culture. Why did you do this? I don't know. I just think that every episode you have to find a way to make yourself laugh, you know, you have to make your way to tickle yourself. Yes, you always
keep it fresh, fun popping. I try, you know, because I feel like especially in the quarantine, because we are still as a as a recording date in quarantine for the coronavirus pandemic. For those of you sort of looking
back at this episode from years in the future. Um, every single day we're waking up and it's very sort of bad and the same, and you have to find little ways of tickling yourself, like, for example, bow, and what's one thing you've done every single day a little bit fresh to sort of freshen up your quarantine life and perspective. I will make a little bouquet of candles.
It might not be very safe. The candles close to each other on the counter, and all their sense will mix together and it smells like a little potion brewing. Oh I love that. Like, what about ferimenting with sense. That's really cool. Well, I similarly am experimenting with sense today. I bought a frasier for candle to make it smell a little bit like Christmas in here. Oh my god, I love that it is smelling a little bit like
Christmas in here. And I'm trying to get like a humidifier in my goden apartment because my skin as dry as fuck. So every single day I'm sort of trying something new to make sure that my skin isn't um falling the funk off, I continued to struggle with my eyes. Your skin looks great, thank you. I mean, I'm using the Hawthorn products, but just like I don't know what it is like, my eye just feels very dry. And you need the warm compress hunt. I think you're read.
I need I need to boil a soft towel. That could work. That could work, boil soft. How do you think it's too much? I think dry is your best bet, really, because well, who knows. I just feel like the rice in the sock truly is the best solution. You should buy a little bit of rice tomorrow, put it in a sock tied up. I guess I gotta go go get that. Oh wait, Hans, Okay, hot head of content, Hans says, you need to listen to the two part series on skincare on poog hosted by Jacqueline Novak and
caper Land on the Big Money Players Network. Yeah, but can I ask you a question? Yeah, he wants to plug it. But Hans, are you actually making a real suggestion? Or am I gonna turn on POUG with caper Land and Jacqulinovak and all of a sudden it's a goofy podcast? Okay? Are they gonna Are the girls gonna be giving me real opinions on skincare or is it gonna be like you gotta put the devil's poop on your skin because
those girls, they have very eccentric senses of humor. He says. No, I I don't just want to plug poog on the Big Money Players Network, Hans, You're just hijacking the system. They're gonna give you real advice with a blend of their signature brand of comedy that sounds like an ad. Sounds like an ad. You know what? You know what Jacqueline said on Poog? What does she say? She said? Isn't it crazy. Well, basically, she's like, it upsets me
that we can't see inside of ourselves. That the only way you can see is like you can't like look at your own organs. Isn't that sad? It's like you're on a balcony in a building and you can only you can't turn around. Well, you know what's really fucked up. One day we're going to have people giving us our autopsies and they're going to see parts of us that we never got to see. And that was my ship, Like, these are my lungs, Why do you get to see what's inside of them? It makes me literally so mad
that we will lose consciousness after our death. It makes me so mad. It makes me so mad. I don't want to scope in my body ever. If it comes to that for health reasons, fine, but I don't want other people seeing inside me until I'm dead. Until I'm dead, because because at least I can take comfort in the fact that my insides are mine until I die. But while I'm alive, I don't want someone else to see parts of me that I never can. I never have.
So what if you were able to have a little television, which is actually really common what what While they scoped you and you could see at the same time that it's going on on the insides, you're not curious. I don't I need that to be private. I can't have that shared thing with someone else. Maybe just you in a scope alone in the room. Yes, but I don't know how to work it, and I'm not gonna learn.
I don't think you're gonna learn either. I just think maybe when I die one day, let's just say this, like, let's have this episode be like sort of like a working will um. Don't even just skip the autopsy and cremate me immediately. Don't even check to see if I'm really dead. If it seems like I'm dead, cremate me seriously. Scatter my ashes, bury my heart at wounded knee. Oh my god, First of all, slay, slay. But where would you want your ashes spread? This is an interesting thing.
I don't know the duplex I would want my ashes to be. I can put him in the East River. Oh, put him with the rest of the trollops. Yeah. I don't need to I don't need to be. It doesn't need to be anywhere special for me. You know, all this talk of death reminds me of birth and it is the sixth day of culture, and on this episode we are really celebrating a important figure in the culture because, um, this person is evergreen but seasonal mm hmm. And that's power,
that's power this person. I've never seen this person sell out anything she's ever done once. No, she always she always wants to deliver. She has never not committed herself to anything she's ever done in her life. On the same May second two birth birth of Christine. There was the great before and there was the great after. Okay, A thriving world caused the creation of Christine Baranski. Her parents, whoever they were, made love to each other and they
conceived the child. That child would go on to bring joy to millions, maybe billions of people. I think billions. I think billions. What is your favorite Christine Baranski moment? I have to say I never watched The Good Wife, but I will say that my favorite Christine Baranski. I just want to say that, like I'm not working with like the working with like a full Christine Brownski deck. But I really fell in love with her in Chicago, Mary Sunshine, Mary Sunshine really fell in love with her
in Chicago, thought, who is that woman? I've seen her before? Yes, she was that woman in another beloved Christmas movie that maybe I'll let you you name. But the beloved Christmas movie where she played, um, who was that after? Was was Chicago? I guess Chicago was after the Chicago was a Chicago was after the Grinch? Oh wow? So I didn't even make that connection the versatility. So when you said she was in a beloved Christmas classic from before Chicago,
I was like, Oh my god, was she? But no, you were just referencing her incredible performance as Martha Mayhuvier, the hottest female up in Whoville as it were, because Grinch was two thousand and then Chicago's two thousand three. Wow, yes, and I hear. I was thinking. I was literally gonna say my introduction to Christine Brownski was honderstand no ball dustandable. Yes,
it's perfectly understandable. But then that would be incorrect, because I, of course was inspired by and moved by miss Martha Mayhuvier. Truly a gorgeous woman. Martha May sex symbol, sex symbol. Can you imagine being Christine Baranski? A treasure of the American musical theater of television, of film, and then also look like that in a silly Dr Seuss costume. Yeah, smoke show. It's not fair. It's just not fair. Christine Baranski and so so wonderful and Mama Mia, Oh my god.
The Christine Baranski is the goat. It's time to say that Christine Baranski is the goat. I mean, look at her. I'm just looking at these photos of Martha Mayhuvia hurt in that blue coat. You can't be that robe. That blue robe, That's what I meant, the robe that she's also iconique in Well, The Good Fight obviously is like her SPINOFE spin SPINOFE, spinoff of The Good Wife. But she has continued to slay. Did you know that She's a two time Tony Award winner? What is she went for?
She won Tony Awards for Best Featured Actress in a Play for the original Broadway production of The Real Thing and Rumors and nine nine. This is a Tony winning actress from the eighties. For decades, she has been slaying. She is like a true like have you ever heard of like Christine Baranski? What a pill? She's kept it together, which is not to say that, like you know, people who have any issues or who play them out publicly, like are you know, less fun less likable? But Christine Baranski,
she she has date on her own course in life. Yeah, she's here to remain And also did you know little known? So we know her because she's an icon in Um of course Martha May, Martha May Juvier's vehicle The Grinch. People think it was a Jim Carricy vehicle, but it was really a Martha vehicle. It was a Christine Baranski film. Um, so there's that. Then there's of course Christmas in the Square, which we recently discussed on the podcast with friends of
the show, Major Ji and jil Kim Booster iconic. She doesn't sell that out for a second, which she pointed out, and I'm so happy that you did, sister, Thank you, sister. She also plays Mila Kunas's mother in A Bad Mom's Christmas, her overly critical, harsh mother. I haven't seen it. I have to watch it tonight. Well, I like bad moms like for I think, did you and I see it together? And that sounds right? And I think we really enjoyed it. We had actually a great time. Catherine on Mila, Yeah, yeah,
and who's the third of Christian Stewart. Well, there no, there's Katherine Han, Mila Kunis and God, and then there's Christina Applegate is the villain Christina Applegate. Christ it's a Christian. When I said Christian Stewart, I meant Kristin Bell, Kristen Bell. Yes of christ and Bell. And so they're joined by Christine Baranski and a bad mom's Christmas. And in a bad Mom's Christmas, I guess, um, she sort of does her thing of playing a very austere person who lightens up,
and she's so perfect for that. We've seen Christine Baranski do it a million times. And you still you'll want more, You want more. You know what we do want more. I have the sound of her voice so indelibly in my soul, of her singing a convent girla run away marriage. Now tell us roxy who's Fred Caseley. She really is
my childhood. Christine Baranski is my childhood. Don't ruin my childhood by not loving Christine Baranski the way that we are on culture Ristas, I'm gonna sneeze and I tried to sneeze with the sort of Christine Baranski and you and it came across like hatch, she does have like energy, you know what I mean. But but she but it's bogoo. But it's like it's elegant. It's yeah, look what is that? Like? How can she keep it? Also like she opens, she
leaves herself so open to every possibility. That is the beauty of Christine Baranski. Yes, should we go through her many awards? Yes, she has won a Screen Actors Guilds Award a couple of times. She wanted for Chicago and she wanted for the Herd Cage. Amazing cast, amazing cast. Okay, let's just talk about the fact that she won an Emmy Award for playing the role of Marianne Thorpe in
the show Sybil Sybil. Okay, let's just talk about the fact that she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series on the show Frazier and The Big Bang Theory Can Do It All. She got four nominations for that role. Then she gets nominated for Supporting Actors in a Drama Series five years in a row for The Good Wife, Give It Up, Give It Up. This is consistent, Queen, consistent Queeneen. Oh
my god, you could never, you could never. And look she was married to the actor Matthew Cowells from when he tragically passed away. She has raised two daughters and she has just kept she has just kept them alive, kept them alive. That is award worthy. And to raise children and keep them alive in a world that's as rambunctious as today. Honey, my hat is off, My hat is off, and that is that is a word I would used to describe the state of the world. Rambunctious.
This is a rambunctious the world out there. And you know that's true. We live in such a rambunctious time. This woman has been in everything. Did you know she hosted SNL Yes with the musical guest to the queue, the Cure. How iconic. That is cool as heck? I would dag if she came back in what host? Now? Do you think they would ever have Christine Brownski back to host? Now? I think, why the hell not. She has stayed in the culture. She's bigger than she was
when she was on Sybil. I think that was around the time when she was when she hosted was she was known for being on Sybil, but now you're just like, oh, you mean multiply Emmy nomen multiply nominated. She was nominated multi multiply. Okay, she's only gotten bigger. Well, we've only gotten to love her more as a nation and as a culture. She slid it into the woods. She was Cinderella's mother. She really was like the original supporting actress queen,
the original Judy Greer, the original Judy Greer. But now I think she's having I think she's having a real new Renaissance Christmas on the Square. I mean, I really, I don't know what happened there, but I like my respect for her just really shut up higher than I even thought, higher than I could go. Yeah, did you know that she recently was performing video game voices in Stephen Universe. I saw she played the role of I love that I play Hessanite. That's me, as Christine Brown
Skate telling someone the role she plays. I'm doing a zing a new video game and I played the role of Hessanite. It's called Stephen Universe, Save the Light, and it's really fun. It's something so different from me, and playing the role of Hessanite is it's easy for me because she's a mother too. You know, she's a mother and a sister. I related to her in these ways and more. I'm sorry, can we just give it up for Matt Rodgers? Do it? He can do it all.
He just did an amazing Christine Baranski impression. I'm laughing. He he can do everything. I truly I bow to you, I exalt to you. I bow at your feet. Stop it, get up, get up now, look weak. You are the Christine Baranski of comedy. I think that's like sucks for Christine Baranski. I think she's the Christine Baranski coming. Do you think that Christine Baranski in her shorthand is like, well, I'm a comedian or she says, no, no, no, I'm an actress. I'm an actress. I am not I am
not a come, I'm not a creator. I'm sure she's told her daughter, Lily Cows that she's an actress. Let's see her. Wikipedia says American actress and singer doesn't say comedian. I don't. I don't know. Did you know she went to Juilliard? Wow? This all just keeps sort of rolling back her her. She is like the Charizard of you know, of Jane Krakowski. Maybe who is the charmelion, and then a Josie Tode who is the charmender. Wow. Yeah, Josie
becomes Jane becomes Christine. That actually makes a lot of sense. I do see, like that makes sense. I think that Christine Baranski is an evolved version of Jane Krikowski. Yes, and Jan krek I mean, but like they've they've they've come up in different way, but they have similar backgrounds. And I know Josie maybe isn't like Broadway, it doesn't have the stage. Yeah, but tell tell her she can't
tell her she can't. Tell her she can't. And the way that people like Josie are sort of making themselves known and love to us. It feels very similar to Jan Krakowskalla McBeal into Dirty Rock, into you know what she does now? And Christine I feel like, has been like doing the same kind of work where everyone's just on the same page about it. There like that that one.
That actress is amazing and she can play this fun she can play all these fun characters and saying, oh my god, I approach every role the same with compassion. It's these it's her, it's Christine and Jane have that slight British inflection in their voice, and that's it's the theater. It's the theater, it's the theater. It's it's a Dirty Rock joke where Jenna goes the reason I have some slight British in suction in my voices because I lost
my virginity to the my fair ladies. I also love not to make this like a o rama of Dirty Rock Jenna lines, but really, my one of my favorites is when she says that she went to the Royal Tampa Academy of Dramatic Tricks. Yes, so good, so Royal Tampa really deeply layered. And the running gag that Mickey Rourke has like out to kill her, You're getting married, You're winning awards. These are my things, Mickey Rock Catapult. Did you into the Hollywood? Honestly, I've been rewatching Dirty Rock.
It stayed good the entire time. Like people talk about how like, oh, there was a dip like whatever, like it just maybe it wasn't as exciting whatever. No, it stayed that good throughout well. By the time it got the harsh tradle of season three, it became a cartoon which we love and welcome, which which which like defined a whole style of writing for like Kimmi Schmidt into Great News into Now Saved by the Bell. It's like, that's like we need. I love sitcoms like that are
just joke bags. Yep, I love It's all I want really like it's it's kind of interesting, like right now I'm watching an education education, I'm watching a teacher. Not an education is very different, but I'm watching a teacher and it's a half hour, so I guess I'm like watching it, and I'm like, oh, here's the comic block, like watching something that's like so dark, we presented in like the react structure of like the suitcom is so odd.
Thirty minutes is my preferred length for anything tbh. Yeah. So when that's the Dragon on Quimby, No, No, that's to say Russian Doll got it right where it was not really it was a drama kind of a driller thriller, comedy, drama thriller mixing tones, but thirty minute episodes, and I was like, this is heaven. I think they probably still consider that a comedy in the room, right, but like comedy dramatic performances, we're making comedy here That's what they
all said to each other. We're making comedy. Here another one, and that Natasha Leon, another versatile queen. You know, it's these it's these New York women. And Christine Baranski is a New York woman. Yes, Juilliard pedigree. Juilliard pedigree. Should that be a good drag name? Juilliard pedigree? It doesn't really reference phrase. So no, Wow, you're just so it's so easy for you to say no to me. I was just complimenting you for your Christine Baransky impression. What
are you most excited about in life right now? I'm most excited about the vaccine, to be honest, I can't wait for that vaccine, for that to puncture my skin. I bet you're going to get it first time. Now I'm not. I'm I. I do do that New York Times tool thing where you find your spot in the line. Oh god, no, where were you in line? I was like, there's like there's like two hundred million people in front of you. So when when do they do they estimate on this thing that you did? Wait? What is this?
I want to do it now? Like, how do I pay? It's the it's the New York Times vaccine, vaccine line tool, vaccine tool. Okay, interesting, are you on like a black page? But yeah, And I just want to say that this is an opinion piece, all right, So it's opinion. So how old are you? Thirty years old? What county do you live in? Los Angeles? Do you work in any of these important professions? Healthcare worker? No essential worker, no first responder, no teacher, no, none of these. Do you
have COVID related health risks? No? Okay, submit by still on your risk profile. We believe you're in line behind one four point one million people across the United States. When it comes to California, we think you're behind fifteen point two million others who are at higher risking your state. In Los Angeles County, you're behind three point nine million others. Yeah, okay. So so then they say, if the line in California is represented by about a hundred people, this is where
you'd be standing. And they put me like halfway, like like halfway. Yeah. Interesting, interesting, but other people can have it before me. That doesn't bother me at Um. What are you most excited about? I would say I'm most excited about. Wow, this is bleak. I don't I literally can't think of anything. Ordinarily i'd be like Christmas, but you know what, I guess I'm excited for Christmas because I'm gonna do like a little get together on Christmas Eve,
not big obviously, um. And then on Christmas Day, UM, I'm just gonna have a little, a little moment around my tiny little tree. It's just I guess this year has been different because like, you have to make Christmas nice for yourself. And maybe I'll do a Christine Baranski movie marathon. I think we have to make the marathon today and give it to the readers. Before then we have to watch them too, alright, so obviously The Grinch, the Grinch, Mama Mia and Mamma Mia too, Yes or either.
You get to choose either because they're both giving you something different. But what are Christine Baranski's big starring roles though? Does she have them? This is the thing is she's she's She's been Judy Greer for her whole career. The all the big one is Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square? Is that her biggest role? That's crazy. Here's what I want.
I want to try our best to contribute to an environment where Christine Baranski has a huge renaissance, even even more than the one she's having now, and she becomes not just a TV icon. But I want her to win an Oscar. I want her to have the E O T. Because I don't know if you can get her a Grammy, but I think we can get her an Oscar. Why would she? Why are we going to get for she'll sing on an album for a musical. I don't know if that's how you win them, right,
Maybe she should play Mama Rose. Oh my god, she'd be a great Mama Rose. Well, look, she was part she started the Best Picture. That counts for something. For me, it's like, oh my god. To be an actor and the Best Picture. That's like a kind of a secret honor, not a secret, but it's like it's like you're that's part of your that's part of your work for forever. You know. It's like I was in the Best Picture. That's pretty cool. Yeah, And that was like, well that
was like well on into her career, to be honest, Chicago. Yeah, it was like, you know, after she had won a Tony Award, like years and years before. This is the longevity we need amongst the girls. Christine has kept it going. She gave her some some flowers for that. Come on, she's got that killer instinct. I bet she could drink a stiff martini too, looking in the eyes and say you have to have a killer and stinked in this town. I can I can picture, I can see it. How
many agents assistance do you think she's been through? Hundreds, hundreds, thousands, doesn't remember a single one of them. No, No, they go up to ourt a party, Christine, Hi, I'm Chris. I used to work in Amy's office. I don't remember any of any of my manager's assistants. I couldn't be bothered. You come and go so quickly. If you were good at your job, I guess I would remember you. But if you want to make yourself use when now you can tell me where the bathroom is because I can't
find it in here? And they say, oh, it's be literally right there, and should say thank you so much. I should walk off. She'd say, you have to have that killer instinct. Here's a here's a tip. You want to make it in this town, develop a killer instinct. Only then will you make it? Now, where is the bathroom? And they say again, right there, you're walking to it. It's the only door in her right right. Of course, thank you. I think about what I said. I have
to say, you're amazing, amazing actor. You really embody Christine. I would say you're an amazing actor. No you don't have to say it back. No, no, no, no no no, you you have been Christine this whole episode. You really channeled her spirit on this episode. Well that's a huge that's a huge compliment. Um. And also, UM, I thank you so much because for someone to say I was
given Christine Baranski energy, that's really the highest praise. And this whole entire episode, the sixth Day of Culture, has been a tribute to her. We love her so much and we love her. This is you know, not a lot of the days of Culture have been a little painful.
We've gotten angry. Well we we've had to acknowledge that some of the days of culture like are not good memories, like when we locked up Guillaine and I brought that in And I'm sorry, but this has been maybe the purest joyful episode of twel twel days of Culture so far. We just love Galanne so much. I love christ all right, And that's where we end and thank you cool, we love you, kill,
