"Romp" (w/ Mitra Jouhari)

was immediately hooked. I'm a middle aged mother of two teenagers in Seattle and probably not their target demographic, but that factor speaks to their universal appear subscribe now, thank me later. Actually, that is exactly my target. I was gonna say, a mother of two in Seattle is our target? Is our target? Time that an older sisters of my friends? Exactly? Well, thank you so much, Chris. That's a lovely review. Please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts as well. For

Project Chart Operation Law Cultures. This has brought to you by the Forever Dog podcast Network. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Now enjoy the show. Look man, oh, I see you? Why? Why? And look over there? How is that larger? Yes? Goodness? Well, let's called you gotta change it up a little bit. Sometimes I like the little spice. Can I tell you something. Yeah, um, I've been thinking about it more. Yes, what we just discussed prior to going on air bowing throughout that maybe we should go

see the Shape of Water tonight. I would love to go see it with you. Because number fourteen of culture, Octavia has the ravatas. I'm sorry I wasn't ready for that, but yet we discussed this. We didn't discuss this anytime Octavia's on screen, even if it's a bullshit like Hollywood Reporter video. I mean, they're not bullshit, They're wonderful. I

think that they are often almost entirely bullshit. But sometimes when Octavia's on them, well, can I tell you who they always have on those Hollywood round table round table and never has anything to say? Is Amy Adams. Amy's great, she's great, but she's always on them and she's always like, um, yeah,

it's definitely being a woman is harder. You know who's who's always on the fucking Gina Rodriguez is on what she's been on two and then every time you know what, she's great, well, let me she she cuts she interrupts people and stop it. She interrupts people, she cuts them off. Yes, well, and it's a little like Gina give people space. Well, she's excited because she's new to the end. She's very excited. Um, that's actually number twelve of culture. When you're new to

the end, it's exciting. Okay. So I will say this, I've been thinking about it more and I still don't want to go see it, but I do think that it's fascinating that there is allegedly a scene where Sally Hopkins sucks a fish. I hear that she does not the fist. I have actually it almost nearly confirmed. And by confirmed, I mean I have read reviews that say there is a sex scene, there are shots of the

fish dick that's insane, but not of her fucking the fist. Well, if there's going to be fish dick in the movie and and someone's not sucking it, then it's a waste. And that to me is a very low review from this reviewer. And I will say, look look out for this in the future. Soon Bowen and I are going to start doing movie reviews and and the show was going to be called Matt and bow and our Cisco and Ebert bitch who knows for that? And look out for it? And you know who I give a five

star review our guest. Yes, I was gonna say our guests. I was gonna say our guests, and I said it in yes, let we agree. We agree wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly. That's good to the credits. You do it, honey. Our guest is a true culturally culture. She's been behind the camera, in front of the camera, on the side of the camera, sort of being like, hey what about here's an ault. I'm going to pitch anault literally all angles of the cameras.

She is writing for the upcoming show on TBS, Miracle Workers, starring Daniel Radcliffe. I can't believe that's Daniel Radcliffe. You know, he was Harry Potter. He was Harry Potter and he wasn't hav seed in business without really trying. You know what, that's a lot of talent. That's a lot of talent as much a small frame as much talent. But I would say less talent than our guests. But she, I would agree with what you saw her on film. I

saw her. I saw The Big Sick with my dad and when was was on screen, I go, that's my friend. And she was so funny. My dad was like, she's very good. That's good. And she loved, she loved, he loved that movie. He said it was very very relatable to Asian culture, and I said, of course it is, um And you know what, we'll talk about this later. Um.

And she's currently writing for No, No, No. She she was writing for The President Show, Fantastic Show, and Comedy Central Trump And you know her from her amazing, amazing live shows with three busy pretty busy DeBras. It's a guy thing. Uh. And we'll have just done their holiday party, which was a block very much a blast, very much blast. Are going to be performing as Sluck Yes with a Christmas mix by request, by request. It's gonna be very funny. Guys,

Please welcome our guest Christmas. And I will also say recently really took a bite out of culture with your I don't think so, honey, at culture which was bad, affleck, which was must have. It had to happen. It did have to happen. It was much meaner than I thought it would be. No, but I thought, no, she's correct, though, you were correct. The argo is so insane. Yeah, I've been saying it for years. I'll say it till I die. I No one cares. It's awful. Yeah. Yeah, in fact,

she beats the drum still. She wrote it, remember when she wrote that character. She wrote a character's sudi right when Argo came out, which was an Iranian film reviewer reviewing the movie ben affleck Argo and the one. The funniest thing I thought was when she was like, of course, yes, it is true. Iranians we are always screaming God. I mean, it's just like there's two types of Iranian characters in that show, which three three. There's terrorists with the gun

who yells all these lines. There's the one nice one who is like a maid, and then the hordes of people swarming the embassy like who you liken to zombies, which was like, oh my god, of course, like that's what they were portrayed as and that's disgusting yea. And at the end, but I saw myself in that, remember he goes like she te the movie. She came back and I was like, what do you think? She was

like fucking terrible. She was like at the end, like the one nice Iranian girl escapes to Iraq, things would be great, she has a happy ending. I don't know, I don't know if she does. That's a whole another movie, and that movie also like it doesn't get the ship it deserves for the like self. So like all this Hollywood humor which so much hate that sort of inside baseball humor, Oh my god, and all going over and over again, or go funk yourself with the most exhausting,

like masturbatory thing. It was like, you know something that like all the old dudes on set were like, it doesn't doesn't heighten, it's not fun. It's really not funny. It really very clearly doesn't make sense at all. And then they buckled down and really do it over and over and over again. I don't ever want to see ellen Alda again. I'm sorry, it's a movie that has not ellen Alda. Alan Alda, he's good by alan Alda. We love Alan Arkin. Get out of here, Get out

of here, he out to see. The movie is built around a fucking pun, a bad pun, and it's repeated twenty fucking thousand times. And also Ben Affleck plays I don't remember, like yes, mendes so you know, that's cool, that's really cool. It's really cool of him. What a good actor. A stretch. Also, he literally grew a beard, so totally totally think about the ben Affleck never ever ever changes in any of his movies. Talk about no versatility.

Oh my god, you're right, like really has no business when then, well, this was controversial because you also made some comments about the physical appearance, which I totally agree. I don't think he's attractive. Do not think he's attractive. It's okay if you think he's attractive. I cannot think he's attractive. Well, no, I mean Metra's comments about Metrick kept repeating fat motherfucker, but then at the end said I should feel bad about weight shaving. No, I shouldn't.

He's a fucking asshole. He's racist, he's he's misogynist. Blah blah blah, bah blah. I will say this. They're literally so with all the ship coming out about like everyone, it feels like you literally opened up the newspaper every morning I wake up, I fucking opened my front door, and I've been my ass over to pick up my newspaper and I wipe it off, the jew on my on my pants, and I crisp slack my crisp, and I say, honey downstair. And her name is carol Um

short for Carol amb Um. No, but anyway, So it feels like Laura coming out. So of course we've just got Matt Lauer, who, of course I've not liked for many years because Ann Curry is my girl. But I actually literally no, like not literally, I don't know this person, but there are there's like one particular agent who like did something to a friend of ours, and that person hasn't even been talked about yet. So it's just crazy everyone.

There's like everyone that like you know, you think is gonna get named, gets named, Like Brian Singer, I guess that's like pretty imminent. Like he didn't show up to the set of Freddy Mercury BATTLEPI with um, what's his name, Rommy Malick. He just didn't show up to set recently. Um, and it's because of a health issue. But like, um, but like Brian Sayinger, like everyone's been waiting for that

that once to get said. But there's like literally people out there I think that we're not even talking about. Like I guess no one would think that would happen with Matt Lauer because if you're not thinking about it a lot, I guess, is it is it a thing where it's like the only reportable not whatever the only report worthy accusations are like scale up to like the level of fame of the perpetrator, like for these really

famous people names. I'm saying, like what about Like it sucks that like the smaller potatoes people are like might not get a free pass, but like might fly under the radar a little bit, you know what I'm saying. I mean, it's funny that, like it's funny that like Russell Simmons, that news just like came and went, I know, that's what just sucking huge. Oh my god, I mean it's sucking Russell Simmons. And people blinked and then it

was gone, Yeah, there's just too much. But but it is bringing me a lot of joy and comfort to think of all the men that live in fear. It's really awesome because it's like truly I feel the same way. I had tweeted the other day because I saw that someone who had like assaulted me in college followed me on Twitter, um, and I tweeted that I was going to kill him his name. I just said, I referenced something that he did online and then I said I'll

kill you. I think I think I can quote the tweet verbado this tweeted, I just saw that a guy who sexually assaulted me in college post a tweet about empathy and the Trump era. Yes, pig go off, I will kill you one day. And I was like I was just sitting there like fuming for like thirty minutes because I saw that he had done it, and I was like, oh my god, the nerve and then um and then I was like, oh, I should just threaten

to kill him. Like nothing I can do, Like you have to come out and say, like I assaulted you, uh, and she's talking about me, and so it gets to just live in fear and like I'm not actually going to kill him, but like, but we're gonna put it out there to see how we reacts. But then the world with no laws, I would and world scenario. But I love my life and I don't want to go to jail, So I'm not going to kill him. But

I love that he read it. And then I was like, oh my god, well he's really lucky that you love your life. Did he unfollow you after that or did he like? Did you have you checked? I haven't checked because I was like, I'm just going to see something else that pisces me off and I've done what I needed to do to You're good. I'm good. Yeah, yeah,

it felt great. But it's like, but it is. It's like all these dudes who they're like, you know, you can't do anything, and it's like, well, then clearly you did something, because any guy who hasn't messed up like sun It isn't worried. Yeah, like yeah, it's like, you know, the you're living with like a percentage of the fear and rage and sadness and powerlessness that we have felt forever.

So ha ha ha out to Sudi and Anna. Sudie Green and Andresen wrote an incredible sketch on SNL last night called Welcome to Hell and you guys should check it out and it has all the girls and searsha um with pigtail. Okay, sear show was good. I haven't seen yet. I only watched a couple of clips watch it because was and I had a feeling she would be because that's she's legit talented, but she's little, yeah, very super versatile. I'm saying she's the opposite, certainly more talent,

especially rule number four of culture. Sha Ronan is more talented than Ben Affleck. There are number four. Um, but I have to attract a statement that I made on Facebook, and of course, as we know, Facebook is you know where you say a permanent doctor, it's a permanent document. It's a document, matter, it matters. There was a conversation about who the next Meryl was and someone said Sarsha and I was like, no, there's no way that Sarsha

is not the next Meryl. She could be, she could be, she could be like young Merrill was playing, Um, you know those very specific roles that seemed very like ageless, like you know, like of course many accents, many accents. I actually come up in that conversation, you know what, you didn't hard, work hard, white washed, yet work harder.

I went hold on one one scene scene, one sketch in the show last night has stayed with me, which was they did like a parody of have you heard of Flora Bama Shore like the new Jersey Shore, And I'm scared that I'm going to watch it? Yeah, I know, I'm absolutely horrified, and we must watch and you know it's there's going to be such garbage, because if there's one place that's worse than the Jersey Shore, it's got to be the Florabama Shore. I mean, I mean, I

can't afford those words together. But they have, and they have, but they have because they hate us. Heidi Gardner was in it and she was playing this character named Epcot. She was like, my name is Epcot. I was born in ep I was born in the Chinda part of Epcot Centers, and my favorite food is gum. And then study told me there was a line in it that was cut, which was I was born in China Bard Center, which meantime half Chinese, half Disney. I said, whoever cut

that is a idiot, half Chinese, half Disney. That's it's really good, real good. Wrote that. Apparently, and Andrew Dismukes writer on the show You you gotta love a new writer writing a genuinely funny st That's a really that's a genuinely funny bit. He's a genuinely funny funny bitch too. He he just moved from Austin to l a and love that, love that move. And then it's as soon as soon, bitch as he was hired, he moved to New York as you do. You know what, that's rule

number sixteen of culture. If you get hired Saturday moved to New York. Um, don't you agree? I actually do. That's very brave. I have no objection on the record. You should live here when you work there. What is the origin of your location? Where are you from? Where were you born? Cincinnatio, Cincinnatio, Hio? And then she was an Ohio State girl. And then she dropped out because that was actually the best decision that anyone, anyone of use, could have made. I wish I kind of wish I dropped.

You took your you took your youth and brought it to Chicago. I know I have visited Chicago a lot, like once a month when I was in school. I would just do the drive because I wasn't going to any of my classes. And uh, that's good. Yeah, But so I never did I never actually lived there. I just visited a lot um and then moved to New York, the Big Apple. They do call it the Big Apple. Um, all right, So I think it might be time to

ask the question, bo, Yes, which is Metro? What is the culture that made you say culture is for me? It made you say, Okay, there's this thing called culture and it might be for me. I'm kind of interested. Maybe you take a step in a cultural direction. I saw a movie, you read a book, you saw a play, a cartoon, or just life or just life or you you grew up in Cincinnati and you you said Cincinnati culture is for me. Wow. Um, well okay, so like the first one I think is really bad. Um, the

first one I think was like magic culture. Well, it's bad because of what I did. So this is like elementary school, like the Harry Potter books came I started reading when I was in like second grade, So I grew up on that. I believed that I was very special. I had the confidence of like a you know, a loved kid who lived in the Midwest where everybody was really nice. So I was like, I'm obviously magic, but not even in like a Hogwarts way, like sort of

more of like a witchy way. Um like Matilda. Yeah, okay, great, So I will explain the things that I did. Um. So I had this friend Madison, and we were both like sort of like weirdies. People were nice to us, but like we were definitely the weirdest kids in school. So I would um, I had certain we convinced each other that we were telepathic. Um, so we would do

that on the playground. Um, sixth grade, so like too old, and and then like you would go over to her and be like do you know what I was just thinking? We would like go like across the playground from each other and be like and then I'd be like did you see a waterfall? All she had to say was yes, and the whole thing would have been like, well, this is the rest of our lives. Yeah yeah, And then um, wow, some of this is like pretty psycho. Okay. So there

was one thing. So I like bruise really easily and get sick really easily, Thank you so much. I'm so delicate. Um, and my family and like no one else in my family is like that. So I, um, I was really convinced that I had healing powers and it was bruising easily, getting sick easily because I was giving so much of

myself to others. Wasn't so crazy? That is crazy. So my last thing is that I m I thought I could bend rocks like I had a little pouch of those like fake sort of like gemstony rocks, you get it, like a gas station, and I would sit Wow Okay, I would sit and I would just be on the playground and I would like hold it in my hand like I'm bending it. You were like mom, Ben Rocks,

and your mom was like, that's gum, you idiot. And then the ground I kept them in like a little leather pouch with like a dream catcher on it that I undoubtedly also got at. Oh and the last thing, um, which is maybe the one that makes me sweat the most when I think about it, is I would sit on the playground in the mulch and make a circle, like bunch up the mulch around me so it was in the shape of a circle, and then I would close my eyes and chant over and over again, the

Earth and I are one, like loud. I'm not even I think that is like not as like totally out there is like it's it seems I'm not saying that you're making it sound like it's like how old are you? But that might be a little I'm saying. Into middle school, I was like like I would just be bored out of my mind when over the weekend you would create things in your head. But like you you play with this fun little fantasy of like I have powers, let

me test, do you know? When I was like seven or eight, Me and my best friend at the time, Georgie, would walk around the gym when it was like recess time, and we would have conversations about what had happened when we slept over each other's house, like when our toys like got up and became alive and what they did.

And then I would be like, so, actually, when you were asleep, I was actually awake and I saw, um um, a couple of the toys like they got together and like they were they were they were like having a conversation and just like you know what they said, and we fully make up like the narrative of things and like walk around the gym just like stimulating our minds making up this garbage. Okay, see, but that's different though, because in our case we have agency and we have

like it's us who is like making things happen. It's kind of an interesting commentary. Yeah, it's like, um, what do you think though, how do you think it's It's it's like alpha theta. Do you think I'm the beta? You're the beta for sure, and like we're the ones who are like affecting change. Yeah. I love being strong. It's a good thing to be. Wait, Matrick, can we talk about, um, can we talk about this moment when

that you were not present for? It was when I was okay, So I saw the big thing with my dad every Thanksgiving. You loved it. I loved it. I haven't seen it, um, And you know what it was. It was a movie that I could point to with my parents and be like, so, this is kind of sort of what not exactly what I do, but this

is sort of what I do. Like there's this whole pop point in the movie where camal Camales characters like trying to get into this Montreal festival quote unquote, um yeah, and so I was like I was like, oh yeah, like like every now and then, I would stop and be like, this is all about me. I'm sorry, but I'm like like, Dad, like, that's sort of like that's sort of like what I sort of think about every now and then. And he didn't really get it, but

it was like it was like a nice moment. And then to have Mitra in that movie, I was like, that's sucking. That's sucking. Great, Um, you play a gluten free person. Yes, what was that like? It was like, welld beaks of studying. Well, actually, one thing one fun time a gluten free person in this film a real che to take on the perspective of a gluten free person. Well, it's like, you know, you have to think about the world in like a different way than you see it,

which is gluten gluten. I see the world through friend kind of what you're going to say. The fun thing about oh, just U, I had to like do like a Pakistani accent for it stressed me out so stressful. Yeah, because I'm like, not that my voice sounds like this and so like my ways on like that. Um So I was like very very stressed because I was like, I don't want to be offensive. Well, yes, we we did a sketch one time and you had to do a Korean accent and you were like you were stressed

out about it. Yeah, because you just don't want to like characterize character. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have to be That's why you're not the next Meryl. I'm sorry because Merrill would have walked onto that set and done a flawless Pakistani accent and guess what, no would have batted an eye that it was Meryl. You know what, Matt, You're not the next Meryl. I think I am. I think, I know you're not the next Meryl and that's your

whole personality. Guys, the fact that we're even talking about or is crazy than it's so disresp you are digging your heels. I didn't like that. I didn't like that, honestly. I also, I don't know, we don't talk about anymore. But it's just funny because I definitely saw that person doing interviews when like Linda Lohan was going through it. Okay, So anyway, um like capitalizing, I want to keep talking about I want to keep talking about Big Sick. I love I thought you loved it. I thought it was

such a good movie. And then and hearing Emily Gordon talk about like the process for for writing that, I was like, oh cool, Like they like it's interesting. They were like they were like it was really weird. How like when the movie was coming out there, like the studio sort of marketed as this rom com and like we didn't think about that, like like like making the movie, we didn't sort of frame it as a round come at all. But like I guess it sort of makes sense.

But anyway, um um, I just I guess I I guess I'm just asking, like structurally kind of that, but it's you know, it's more than com I think, Um, I just thought I just thought it was just like a really like this is sort of what you get when you get like, you know, like a comedian, like someone who has that sort of background in perspective, um who like is able to like filter it through like a non traditional narrative. Plus like I don't know, there's

just so many layers to that movie. I think it's great. And um, Camil, I think didn't he mention you on like Marin recently or something he did? That's great? And Emily, Oh, they were just like talking about people who were in the movie and that they were like it was cool. Yeah, Um, you know what this is what Meryl will never work with Shoe Walter and that that that sets me through apart Absolutely you've worked with show Walter and Meryl has not. Yeah, so you're kind of in a way of doing Oscar

promotion for this movie right now. I want you to know because they're saying Holly Hunter is going to get nominated and she was amazing, She is amazing. What they for a second, we're talking about him him too for an Oscar nomination, but I guess you know Holly Hunter is an Academy Award winning actress, so it's easier to continue that conversation. But um, yes, you are representing during Oscar season. You are here. This is a big for

your consideration, ad for the Big Six, is what I'm saying. Um, what movies are are? Have you seen? What do you like? We just talked about how you saw the killing of a Sacred Deer and you were not into It's too tense for me. I didn't love it. Um. I saw Florida Project recently, which I was I thought it was beautiful. It was really really cool. And William Dafoe is hot now he actually surprisingly has always been hot. It's always been hot. And there, oh my god, I'm such trash.

There's a sex scene with William Defo from like years and years and years ago, and I actually couldn't believe it was William Dafoe and then he rolled over and it was Willem Defel and I was like, Willem WHOA. I was like, it was William. Do you know? I think he should have gotten an Oscar nomination for playing the Green Goblin. He was really good and hot. I liked that first one, the First spider Man with Toby Toby spider Man, Toby and Kirsten. Spider Man for me

is my favorite spider Man. Yeah. I never watched the other ones. Actually did watch the most recent one because Gary Richards and bunch of people are in it. It's really good. Yeah, I thought, who does Gary play? He's like, he like yells out of a but but I was like, and then that's like five minutes in the movie. Oh, it's really funny. But it was cool. What if what if you sat and we're watching Spider Man Homecoming and it was like, yeah, I play a guy that's um

jelling out of a window. And actually though it was a huge part, Like what if what if Gary was in the movie for fifteen minutes? I would love it would be would be that would be incredible, But it would be a trick because you thought he was a guy who yells out of window and then was a huge part. I don't quite I don't really know what you're I'm just saying. I'm just saying it would be fun. I'm just saying. What I'm saying is it would be fun to see friends with big parts. Yes, that would

be very fun. It's actually real of culture number ninety one. It's really fun to see friends with big parts. What about small parts? Not as fun? Not as fun? Well, sorry, I can't watch anything I've ever only been only done small parts, only done well, small actors, small parts. Well, Bowen's about to be in high maintenance. But that was that was all part in the trailer. And say a whole line, I say a whole line in the trailer?

Was that improvised? That was improvised? And I got a shout out in a cold Sliver gave who inspired me to use that word? For like a year she taught us the word fantasmagoria when she used it in her I don't think so, honey. Just which is singular? Like the it's the thing, it's it's not fantasmic, gry yum, it's fantastic even describes one. You would think it's plural. She was using the word fantasmagoria to describe the movie Joy.

To bring that back around to Joy a cartoon Joyce Jennifer Lawrence, Oh j Then it means something, here's the thing, here's the thing with Oscar's season. It's like, what's the thing We're not going to be thinking about most of these movies in sen years. Like even just I'm saying, like next year, we'll be like, oh, yeah, that exists.

Well that's I think a symptom of the fact that we and I think this actually could be a year that change just all that if what I'm hearing is true and like get Out wins Best Pictures could happen um, or if Ladybird wins and like credig Irwig wins Best Director and like that would be huge, or even if Jordan Peel wins Best Director, like this could be a year I think, especially with all the Weinstein stuff because he like owned the Oscars, with all that now um

being kind of gone and that kind of like iron fist not ruling the Oscars process, I think this could be a year where maybe like we award something like truly artful um, because I think that the Oscars should be a real I think it's nice but because right now it's like there it's obviously like Botton paid for in the garbage, but it would be nice um for

it to mean something. And I think the Best Picture should be like a movie that like means something about the time, you know what, I mean, like would be great. Get Out would be amazing. It would be so cool to say that that like was named by everyone as like the best picture, mean Moonlight think and I think that literally no one saw that coming. That was also like it was robbed of its moment in a way too. I hated that. I hated that. Now that I think

back on it, it's like that sucked that moment. I'm just like it was great TV. Like we were all like what the fuck, But like looking back on him, just like that what a bummer, you know, Like I don't know the part of me that wants to watch the world burn and like loves the drama of it, was like, that is so fucking funny. Like any other movies, I would have like the symbolism of that moment, the

white jazz movie versus like the beautiful film that movie. Ye, Like, it just would have been so moving to watch them open the envelope and say Moonlight. It would have been such so shocking and amazing. And the fact that it was controversial, it was like, oh, this is so it's going to follow that movie into the rest and for that to be what happened at the end of that year to like, yeah, literally everything sucks, like we can't do anything and I we can't even open a fucking envelope,

Like literally everything is so stupid. Like the after Trump that happened, I was like, this is so annoying. Oh my god, Jimmy Kimmel's hosting a GAD. I liked him as a host. I like him because I think he gave the best correspondence did whatever I'm getting to, like, like far out, he was funny, corespond to. He did it. You think, so the best not maybe not the best him.

Samantha Cecily was great. Um, I was Samantha. We asked Samantha too, but like Samantha like with her own how could you dare say in front of Metrath wasn't the best one. I loved hers, But like in terms of like legit correspondence singers, I think Colbert, well, yeah, of course, Colbert, I'm talking you. Obomb era Obama era. Sex was just I love Seth, but sex was just like set up punchline. It was it was like, but I love I love someone being mean right to the President's Yeah, yeah, that's great.

And that was the year when Seth really went after Trump yes, that was the that was like the day before. It's why Trump hates seth Meyers to this day, right, and it was like two days before the bin laden rate right, Um, oh yeah, you're right. Actually it was like happening while they were there. Yeah yeah, um that that was insane to bring it back to nine eleven. Um, Colbert just had never brought got to bring it back

to night eleven always when it wasn't brought up. Actually number ten of culture you got to bring even it wasn't brought up. Um, but wait, Colbert had such a good joke the other day where he was like, um, of course Matt Lower busted for um. He like read the statement from NBC News. It was like we fired him for inappropriate sexual conduct in the workplace. And Colbert was like, as opposed to appropriate actual conduct in the workplace, Um,

there's appropriate sexual conduct in the workplace. How would you treat me right now, right now? Because this is our workplace very much so, how would you treat me appropriately and sexually right now? I would say, Matt, you look great in that shirt. I would turn to H. P J. And I would shake my head and as soon as you can say this is a snap would have we would have as soon as you can tell you the

word snap. It would be last culture assess with Mitra Juhari and Matt Rogers would hate and we would they would love it, and this podcast would be Swords to New Heights and guess right, there would be no sexual conduct. I think it's true, but no, this is appropriate. I can't believe us calling Joe hot producer Joe is appropriate. He has the power in this room. He does, He really does have the power, and he he wouldn't let it go on unless he unless he didn't want. I

do not condone any of that. What would what would appropriate such to be? For you? What would you do to us appropriately? Sexually? Sit right here? This is you know what this is. This is why we're trash and intrez king. And we're gonna think on that for a couple of minutes. We're gonna take a quick break, um, and when we get back, let me tell you something. We're going to keep talking. Soiler alert, more words toiler alert, more of the same bullshit with dry right after this. Sorry,

we're back giggling and giggling the giggles. Don't stop and bowen. You described this as our gigglst episode. Yeah, I think so if you look back and we haven't giggled this much. I don't think we've giggled this much, And I'm glad. What makes you giggle? Um? Every not everything. A lot of stuff makes me not giggle. Yeah. Sometimes you have to fold your arms and shake your head. Fold your arms, take your head. Say not for me? Um? I mean,

what's the funniest comedy you have seen? You know? My favorite thing that I think that I watch every couple of years that I like always makes me happy when I watch it. To have two things. One is like a sort of nostalgia, like it just makes me feel good, which is Mash because I grew up watching I really I am like a die hard Mash fan. Um. And but that one, it's like I have rewatched. I mean, I you know, I watched it often because it's just

like a comfort thing. But there are like really beautiful, great well done episodes. I mean, it's a great job whatever. But the one that I watched every couple of years just because I want to reset and forget the jokes is Garth Marny's Dark Place. Have you ever seen it? I don't know. What that is? Oh my god. I mean the premise takes like approximately forty five minutes to explain, but basically they let um like I think like it was like Oxford or Cambridge or some thing like that.

These guys from one of those like British pols that has a great comedy group, maybe like Cambridge Footlight. I don't remember. UM they did a show on either Channel four BBC, I can't remember. It's only six episodes and the premise is okay. So the main character is Garth Marenghi. Garth Marenghi is like a science fiction author whose book was then adapted into a TV show called Garth Marenghi's Dark Place and then the actual television show Garth Mange's

Dark Place that I like, we the Humans watch. UM is sort of like a collector edition, so you see all the commentary UM from like Garth Marenghi and his like other the other actors in the show and stuff as you're watching old episodes. That's brilliant. So it's really it's so layered, but like it makes perfect sense when you see it. It's just really hard to explain, but it's like purposely really poorly done. Like one of the characters in the show is like played by Richard Ayote.

He's Garth Marenghi's agent or something like that. Um, I'm actually going to rewatch the next couple of weeks. I haven't seen it in a while. Um, but he's like, yeah, Garth Mangi's agent and he also has a part on the show, like the adaptation show that We're It's hard to explain, but he's like a bad actor, so who just always looks into camera while he's delivering his lines. And yeah, it's just so over the top and cheesy.

And they do the whole thing of like making a bad like a bad thing in a way that is fun because I normally don't like it when people are like, oh, like look how bad the prop is. But this show is like all that, and there's so many layers to it, like because because what I love about it is Garth Marenghi the character is he thinks he's making something good. Like my favorite thing to watch is someone really dumb or really inept thinking that they're amazing at something and

really earnestly trying. And this show does that really well. Where like every episode begins with him like walking down a staircase like now this episode introducing the episode, and it's also self aggrandizing. He really thinks he's like the voice of a generation and made really something really beautiful, and then you watch clips of the show and it's so bad. So it's kind of like this, like consciously bad like Tales from the Crypt type things, yeah, which

which is hard to do. Like it's hard to do well. It's hard to make something bad in a good with a good sort of like editorial layer on it. That kind of that brings up so Boone and I we might go to the movies today. We think we're gonna go see Lady Bird because I haven't seen it yet. Bone is gonna go with me, but I kind of wanted to go see The Disaster Artist. Are you going to go see that? I do think I'm gonna go see it. It sounds like what you Like, which is

a film about someone confidently making something bad. My only thing with that is I can't tell if that movie is mean spirited or not, and that I have trouble watching. I would rather watch a totally fictional person who's bad at something than someone like especially just someone who is as successful as James Franco. It seems like he's making it out of love and like a genuine affection for

the movie. But it's still like, you're like hot James Franco making a movie about someone who made a bad movie, and like, I don't know, it feels weird to me. Well, there's the thing is, it's like, if there was gonna be a movie about it, someone would have to play Tommy was Oo the way he really acts, and that is like the way he acts, So it's like it

feels like it's being done accurately. But yeah, the question of like is it punching down because this could be this person's like intellectual and creative and like peek and like, but it does. It does from what I've heard about it, it does seem like, um, Tommy was Zo likes the movie, yeah, and like he came to events. But yeah, I don't know. The whole thing feels a little weird, but I think

I'll probably still watch it. That's the thing that is that that whole movie, like the Room is about, is that whole thing is like people on mass punching down. Like I went to I went to a screen everything. It was fun but like parts of it were just like people just screaming like offhand things like this sucks, she looks fucking ugly, and you know it was nice. People would like shut it down to me, people like boo,

stop it. Like anything that was just like about people's appearances, people like as an audience, they were like, that's not okay because you're always going to have those assholes whenever it's like we're tearing everything about this movie apart. It's bad. You are going to have those people that like don't get it. Like, I still found the screening experience enjoyable,

just because it's like it's such a cult thing. It's such a cult thing and like and like the spoon throwing is fun, and like there were new thing like I hadn't been to one and like since college, like this one, Like like there were just a bunch of new things that people would do, like anything, what do they do? So this is a new thing that I had never seen done before, which I thought was so funny. It's like a rocky horror type it's a rocky horror

type thing. So anytime there's a shot of like San Francisco with like the Bay, people would be like, um, usually what people do is they go where are we where does this movie take place? But then like this new thing and it was like it was mostly these two girls who sat like in the back and they just kept going. They just kept shouting water and so this so this ends. So this also applied to like when a character would like take a glass of water

and start drinking and people would be like water. That was so funny, Like that's like that's the kind of thing where I feel like it's that's just purely called. It's not punching down, it's just fun. And I and I that's my issue with it, you know what, Yeah, me to sort of put her finger like put just got that exactly right, Like she really got it right. She got it right, because that's because I was telling me I don't want to see it, like I have

no desire to see it. And I think part I chalked it up to like it just being James Franco and I'm like I don't really carry their way for him, but like I think that's what it is. It's like, yeah, like this is this is this This might be an opportunity where you either like really like honor what like Tommy Wizo was doing at the time, or you just sort of make fun of him even more even after the movie has been made fun of for like over a decade. Right, So here's a question, James franco Hm,

would you though? Yeah? I would. I feel like I feel like we've all grown out of like sleeping with shitty dudes though not me. Okay, that's awesome, that's really awesome. I'm only like a month and a half in the therapy, so no, you're right. I mean, like, I have no reason to be picky. Yeah, sure, great, guys. I can't a guy if he isn't like doctors resitarians, a guy. I'm like, wait, do you give to charity I and show me receipts? They're not getting this asshole, you know what?

I will say yes, because when James remember like Freshman and software to story, this is like a shitty like n y U story. Yeah, and Mitra famously has targeted n y U and I can't get it out of myself. It's so I called. I had a joke in a set recently where I said, um, I went to school, um at this whatever and butchering at my own joke, like at this amazing real estate firm n y U, I think is like solid um. No, James would always stop and take a picture with you. I never I

never asked him for a picture. But I can't. I can't. I wouldn't dream of it. But so many people would be like, I got a fucking photo with James Franco today, but like he seems like cool with it. He would stop and like not be an asshole and like take pictures, so it seems like a decent dude. I was definitely

way more into it and like high school and stuff. Sure, but I still would write right sometimes, I don't know if I prefer him like in a sexual way, like a little bit fucked up in dirty or like clean young James Franco. I don't know what's a good sign though, is that you can take him either way. Probably that's how you know, how you know it's a real um ok yeah um let me tell you who couldn't be

less sexually appealing is Seth Rogan. And it's amazing the like chicks that like the cinema, the cinematic world, what have you believe? Just like him, like the when the takeaway from like Knocked Up can be whatever it is. But the fact of the matter is like that Katherine Heigl would ever fun this guy is crazy to me, and then not even after the after the mistake of sucking him, would be like, actually, I'm gonna try to

like marry him because it's what's best. Like no, I forgot who was Oh okay, I mean like she deserved an oscar for that movie? Um, this was this was

this was Back in between Two Friends. Was for a second like a TV show And Zach Alfanakis does like an interview with Tina fe and like he's being like a piece of ship and then finally she goes, um, and and then he's like, so Tina a woman funny and then she loses her patients and then and then she goes you know what, UM, If you um were a woman with your body shape, UM, the best role

you would get in a movie is um. Kevin James would pick your character up for a date and open the door and see you and throw up, And that would be the kind of role you would get to play. Kevin James. Kevin James would see you so me true, oh man, Kevin James like that controversy where they fired his wife replaced her because we all like, you need more. She died in the show. She died. Yeah, they killed

about it off screen. Got sick, so funny, it's so insane, and the way they wrapped it up was like a man, it's been a couple of months since she fucking died. But you know what, you just gotta keep moving on. Kevin must be. I was just thinking of something mean that I did. Tell us how mean you are? Well, okay, so this I was doing this show, this is like truly catty whatever, Okay, anyway, I'll say it. I was doing the show and I was hosting the show, and

I hadn't met this girl, but she was. She was like, I was like, what was your credit? And she was like I was on Kevin Ken wait and uh And then she was really mean to me and like just like talking about what I was doing on stage. So when I insured her, I was like, you can zero the Kevin James vehicle. Kevin can wait. You could have been, but to me, that was mean. To be in a Kevin James vehicle is truly and there are so many, so many Kevin James vehicles. Wait what she was talking

to it? But I don't even want to get into this, but like, let me tell you something. A theme of this episode is people be talking shit. I'm over it. Over people talking. I think it's not good. I've never done it well, I have, I have, I have before. Are different from me, I've talked it before, I don't good about it, and every other way we are the same. I'm going to pot the status on Facebook that's saying, hey, I don't want to have something to announced, and I

just I want to apologize. I talked him clean clean. I want to get out ahead of this because you know that's the next thing. People are going to come for. Ship talkers. Literally, this is the first day game for the rapists. I think Kevin James, I think I think we're gonna we should. I think we have the power

to tear him down. I think I've heard conservative. I mean every like CBS show is Republican of course, even Mom probably probably Mom, that's right, Janny Farris, Jamie press Jamie Pressley is secretly on that show, and also Missy Pyle like just like all of them. The land of like lost comedic actresses is there. We just talked about this, didn't we talk about this? The Partment. Yeah, I'm still reeling from this. But Amy Presley is fully doing fat

suit comedy on Mom and no one knows. No one knows, are just talking about it, but fully there's like fat suit comedy going on just around the corner on a different channel. It really is like when I So, I just spent like a month in Ohio and we were I was like in the hospital all day, not not me, but I was there and we watched a lot of CBS shows because that's like what my grandparents love, and I couldn't believe. I was like, wow, this, I just

didn't even realize, like how republican it can be. Um like n C I s all that ship is like the Colors don't run. And every variation of NCS is exactly the same. It's always like a beleaguered older man and then like his like I wouldn't have missabit toys that worship him, and the like incredibly hot much younger partner that's like turns around and like always their hair is down, always like like like you're running in your

hair is down. What I love about watching these shows is it's like on some of these things, I think I was watching one of the hospital procedurals and there was a literal doctor with her hair down during surgery, like was like down, like I need I need not ninos and like her hair was like down in the body, like I need secus give me ccs now, this guy is dying and crying her makeup into the body. Honestly, I want a surgeon operating on me with her hair down.

Whenever Morisco shows up to like chase someone down in her hair is like she's like best friends of Debora Messing. Are they truly best friends? Yes? Because I follow Debora online. I okay. There are two things that she has done that I love. One is that she went to Africa and it was crazy. There's an article like like a white woman goes to Africa and it's like her dancing and she's you know, Debora always means well, but she

always misses the market. And I so I breakfast with someone this past week and she coincidentally was on the Kelly Ripple Show and who's the other Ryan Seacrest? Okay um and hero Ryan Seacrest, Um, my dad Ryan. She comes onto the show and she's talking about this like solo trip that she took and she did it kind of therapy where she where she painted a physical horse. She painted onto R and I cannot stop thinking about it.

It's exactly what I wanted her to do. It's amazing because she is just she's like if you look at her Instagram, it's like there's a lot going on with Deborah and I love her, but you get accept her flaws. I love her. She's very on the nose. Here's here's I think about Debra. You get the sense that she is panicked trying to get the gays to like always

know that she's on there on their side. Like like the second they got off Megan Kelly Show, and she had said that weird thing to the guy, like, well, I think the gay thing is gonna work out. She immediately took Twitter. I was like, we should never have done it. We should never have gone. If I could go back in time, which I'm working on, we would not have done making Kelly today. I'm working on if there's one secret project that she has Time one loop.

Literally I watched the first few episodes of it and now I've literally forgotten that it's still on. Yeah, it's still on, Yeah, of course it is. It's like a show I think it's NBC is like a little toe dip back into just multi said I said before that it was there litmus test for how Friends were, like Reno would do. I don't think there's going to be

a Friends one episode thing. You don't think I don't. Well, I'm not going to say no because I know that it will eventually make them all money, and I'm sure they'll all do it. I just don't see it coming back in a series way, not in a series. I'm just saying like just literally like a ten, five hundred six of them would probably do it, though, right, Like I'm saying like America would just like fucking like orgasm

at the same time the cream. Yeah, you know, but I have such ambivalent feelings about that time period of like sitcoms to that, like even with Will and Grace, Like the more you think about it, I'm like, I don't really I never really connected to like these shows.

I don't know. I'm so interesting for thinking what if they came back and they were like, we're rebooting it, and then they were like and I was like and they were like, we're bringing back mad about you, I would fucking freak, We're bringing back friends, but we're letting one person of color join the cast. Can you imagine

Tyler for like a second dating David Shimmer. That's how it always is, and that's like on so many shows where it's like, oh, look at her a black boyfriend, or and then and then they the last two episodes and then you never will ever do that, Like I don't think, I don't think. I don't think he ever dated a black wom gossip girl. Oh my god, the o C like it was always like some derivative of Marcia cross On Jerry See speaking of Marcia and Marcia.

I will fucking watch so much Law in Order s VO at home and my parents, and like, she's Marcia isn't a great one. What is she doing it she play a lawyer? No, she plays the wife, the fifth wife of an older rich man who um and her and the rich man's children um stepped. So so Marcia's stepchildren go to SVO and they're like, we think her stepmom is drugging our father into having sex with him so that she can have a child to be part

of his will. It's very interesting, it's very and get to what happens and then what happens to you find out it's the youngest daughter. Now you find out that Marcia actually really loves the guy, which is very sweet. And let me guess, did you have a monologue that was like my husband. Yes, I would love to be on one of those. I think you would be amazing. I would give them everything. I would be a jogger to that was just like, oh my god, Like I just want to find the body I want to be

in the universe. That's all I want. Yeah, I think you would be good as like someone's lawyer that they bring in and they're like and the majority of your lines are like that might have worked before, but it's not gonna work, not today. That would be your trope. Would you would be like the sassiest character and the thirty years I'll tell you who I would get nice.

I would be the side character who's there the whole time and like really just kind of like hasn't spoken, and then the last scene is me giving like a very tearful confession on the witness stand and I win

an Emmy for it. And you'd be like a beleaguered student who like killed someone because you wanted to, like whatever, But then I get murdered as as in the last two minutes of the episode was the last minute you get shot by the kids, dad or whatever just outside the courthouse when it's like the two latter is being like, well that was a case, and then you hear from outside of it like and then on out and it's like, no, created, I s I think it's so good. You're problematic. You

guys are both problematic. Okay, okay. The only show I like. I think it was good. I think there there was a lot of really great episodes on Yes, I mean it's bad, but it's it's an eat. All I can watch now is bad TV. Yes, it's fun to just wait. There was one episode of something where Marcia gay Harden was on it and she she had like a long wait. I forget which one it was, but it was like

a law and Order something whatever. She played like an undercover police officer and the majority of her lines were like you're blowing Mike cover. And then they thought she was compromised. That was the whole thing, And then it turns out at the end she is compromised and she blows her own cover by like wildly firing gunshots like in an Alley and they're like you have to stop, Marcia kay, And she's like fine, it's out of hand and it was just so badly written. But then you realize,

oh wait, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, like it's just supposed to be. They're filming like six a day. Yeah, it's essentially a soap opera. Yeah wait, okay, so talk about this, you love you can only watch bad TV? Is this in as a response reaction to like working on like a show? It was a part of so much good TV. That's what I'm say, like, thank you. Maybe it's like you're just like it's like I just want it, did not have to look up to something

in a way or like aspire to something. Well, it mostly was like I was working on late night political shows for two years, so I just got really stressed and sad watching the news every day because so much of it directly affects me and my family. Uh so it's hard. I was like, oh, I don't want to watch anything that like asks anything of me, Like what I'm watching for work is already so draining. So I just started watching Real Housewives in March and that and

I was already like prior to that. I did, like Gossip Girl, Famous in Love and Love, I mean, it's everything you want it to be. So Bella Thorne tries out for a like cattle Called for She was like, her friend convinced her to go to this cattle call for um, a Twilight esque franchise, and Bella Thorne gets apart even though her friend is the actor, so it's her like perfect right there? Great, well, my favorite line of the series was her friend is like, but I'm

the f major I am, and like just screams. And then I saw that girl in person and I almost went up to take a picture with her, but then it was like, I'm making fun of her, so I'm not going to do it. But oh, but I think you would have been very tactful, and but you would have been like I really loved love that show and love you in that show. But yeah, okay, I get that.

I got that again. Yeah, I'm I'm making fun but free for um and what else I mean any like, oh, Riverdale obviously, and then um this show called Lawson Found Music Studios, which is my favorite show of all time. I think not really, but it's like the worshow I've ever seen so I picked it because at one star in Netflix. Um, I firmly believe that anyone in like our scene, or like any adult that you know that watches that show, watches it because I told them to

watch it. If you see people posting about it, I found it. So it's a It takes place in an after school program for kids who want to make it into the music industry. It's to spin off of another Canadians. So it's just all these like Canadian tweens acting as hard as they possibly can. It's amazing. So I mean, it's just like the main characters named Luke and Leia. They never talked about it. Yes, it's right. The teacher

never discussed They never bring it up. The teacher's name is Mr T and they never talk about that except for one of the characters. At one point, Very Sincerely is like trying to get him to give it a girl another audition, and he's like, I pity the fool who doesn't give her another chance, And it was like, I'm that God, what if In the second last episode of the whole series, they're like, oh my god, you know what, I just realized. You guys are Luke and

Leah and then they all blow their brains up. And then there's one episode where a little girl um says that she wrote the song Freebird, and like she sings free Bird at the beginning of the episode and everyone's like, oh my god, Claria, like great song. And then she's like, thank you so much, I wrote it, and they're like, your songwriting fools are really improving. So no one at the school has heard Freebird before. Then they're in a cafe later in the episode and they hear a Freebird

and they're like, wait, Clara, isn't this your song? And just like what you can get mad at me for saying that I wrote free birdie though I didn't write free Bird, And a whole lot of episode it's crazy. And then they all like sort of cycle through all the same costumes over and over again. And the testimonials, I'm pretty sure they have them improvised. There are too full, you know how, Like auditions are like a montage on most There are two full episodes of auditions on the

show where they sing. They have like a song for each episode, and then they that every auditions sings to hear at four kids, and each audition episode sing the song all the way through and Boston found Music Studios. It's on free Form. No, no, it's on Netflix. It's a Netflix original. I picked it because I had one star at the time. Um, it's incredible. I mean it's really really So you were like, this looks bad, let's

do this well because anytime I don't, I don't. I don't know how like I'll just when I'm like browsing Netflix and I see a teen show that has a low rating and like, let's go or a teen movie. I watched a movie called Picture This with Ashley Tisdale, which is from like two thousand ten or something, but the plot centers around her getting a camera phone. There was there was something like that. There was like a Lost esque drama, like action adventure drama that was on Netflix.

I tried to watch. It's called The three hundred or the two hundred. Now I don't know about the three percent this. Let me explain what the show was. It was humanity does not exist on the Earth anymore because there was I know you're talking about. I didn't watch it.

There was like nuclear attack or something, or like the atmosphere they believe is not not habitable anymore, so they all live on a spaceship above the Earth, and there's this group of teenagers called like the three hundred, and they have like criminal records or something or something weird, and they decide that the way they're going to find out if they can go be on Earth again is they're going to send these teens down there to find

out if it's still habitable or something. And it's like, so it's so awful, um, but they basically send them down there and it is habitable, and so it kind of becomes like a Lost esque type show. But let me tell you, it was literally so bad, so maybe that's something for you to look into it. Like, honestly, I watched the first episode and I was like, this is heinous. It's like it has one of those characters who's like the bitchy girl. She's like, I'm going in

the water and types off her clothes. It was like, very much like a Catherine Cohen character, like fucking you guys can stay over there on the land. I'm going in the water, and they're like Corina no, or like whatever. And the one like girl girl who's like the lead of the show, was like, I don't think she's going there. And they were like stopping a Marissa like and she's like, the water is good, and of course she gets attacked

immediately by a huge snake. Yeah, you can't be beautiful. Honestly, she looked so dead, like the thing like was ripping her apart. But then she was like she washed up on. She's like, I'm a little hurt, and then she was fine, what I let me say. The thing bit her and dragged her around this like infested lake and she was like it was like the first scene of Jaws, but like or it's like that part in Drastic World. Yes, oh that scene. Well she very much died, Yeah, for sure.

The character of Zara, which her name was literally also like I'm a bit I'm on my phone. Yeah, I'm an english woman who's on my phone and doesn't like children, so you know I'm going to get it very badly. And then she gets literally ripped apart by tranodons, thrown in the air. She gets plunged underwater, still dragged about by tarot actyls, and then the big huge sea monster jumps up in the air and chomps her and a tarrod actyl in one bite, and it is fucking crazy

study and I thought we were so high. I turned to study. I'm like, wow, that was too much. Yeah, that was fucking crazy because the rule is supposed to be that, like in every one of those movies, you have to have one character die like a gruesome death, but usually it's the character that like deserves it, you know what I mean, Like it's like you you really

show a character being hard. And she was like she was like thin and a brunette and more like a nice white suit and like was texting like, well, it's actually really cool commentary about like do I we engage with our phones? So don't be on your phone and like don't be have like a posh English accent and also don't have a name that starts with Z. Also don't hate kids. She was Bryce Dallas Howard's assistant. Oh my gosh, she was like and it was just very funny. Also,

that movie will hold up. I will say it will because Bryce Dallas Howard. Chris Kelly had such a good tweet right after it came out where he was like, I get Jurassic World in Jurassic Park, confused which one has Laura Dern and which one has Bryce Dallas Howard out running a t Rex in a new heel. It's really good. Um, you have to wear a nude heel. Honestly, she never took the heels off the whole time and there were dinosaurs following. That's amazing. That's feminist. That is feminist.

That is also I'm talking about a haircut that like Red Bob, I have not seen this. Oh my god, you have to. You have to ursic. It's not punching down because it's a fucking multibillion dollar franchise. I thought it was legit. I thought it sucked. I mean it sucked. But also, you know what sucks Jurassic Park. Oh I love dressing. Yeah it sucks, sure, but it's fun. Actually, you know what, maybe it doesn't suck. I will say this, do you like Jurassic Park? I've never seen that. You've

never seen any anything? Is that? Would you say that's the biggest movie that you haven't seen. No, there's definitely bigger one. You haven't seen Titanic. I have seen that. It was the first PG thirteen movie that I saw. My parents made me wait till his thirteen and then they want my brother, younger brother and sister watch it.

With me, and I was so pissed. I'll never get over my parents let me go see it when I when I was seven when it came out, but because they thought it was like culturally important, because because it was like a huge movement, and I became obsessed with the actual Titanic like in the second grade, like I would like do a project and stuff, and um, they just covered my eyes during the booby scene the city send a sexy scene, right, I had my eyes covered

for that too. UM's hard? Left? Can you talk about Miracle Workers at all? Is it too early? Um? I can talk about like the premise. I honestly don't know what I'm allowed to talk about. I just I love the premise and like I don't think like I mean, I think it will be like a great Let's have

me trix because I think it's great. The premise is basically, Heaven is a company and God is the CEO, and he's sort of this like out to lunch trust fund kid um, and he decides he doesn't want to keep Heaven open anymore when he finds out the people, and he doesn't want to keep Earth open anymore, and Heaven to because he finds out people on Earth aren't very

happy and don't like him very much. So um, angels from the Prayer's Department make a bet with God that if they can make a miracle happen, um, he'll keep Heaven open. And he's like yeah, sure, and the miracle. The miracle is to make too, um humans who prayed to be with each other kiss. So it's like very sweet and like wacky and fun. It's a it's a really uh I had I had such a good time. And it's based on a book, so I think, like I'm not like ruining anything. Sure, Um, I think that's

so fun. Like I heard that and I was just like that. I would watch that show. No, I can't wait. And it's it's you know, it's an Athology. It's seven episodes. It's like it's really sweet and like contained and just it's fun. We did table reads a few weeks ago and it was like very cool to hear the story. It's Um, the star is right now are Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Busemi Um, and then um, this girl Geraldine Um,

I forget what her last name is. It starts with the VU and then um, Karen Sony's John bass um and I forget the other main girl. But there's a lot of like really fun people. That's so fun. It's really fun. Oh and oh, actually, I don't know if she's good firm. There might be someone she's not. Well, it's exciting. She's it's one of my good friends. And guess what you won't anyway? That sounds like such a good show. Oh I cannot wait. Yeah, I cannot wait

for a miracle. Workers. When when is a debuting? I don't know yet. It starts filming this coming week. Wow, okay, you're gonna sit and I am going I'm filming a little part. Oh wow, yeah, you're gonna have a chair and everything, so ch check. All right, So it might be time. It might be the time to do I don't think so, honey. Now you might be familiar with I don't think so honey, because we do it every episode. Um.

We've also had several live shows. Well I don't think so, honey live Thank you guys if you came out to them. And um, yes, So this is where we take one minute to rail against culture. And Bone is gonna go first because I consistently go first, and I'm just fucking tired of it, all right, drama, Yeah that was what you saw right, there was true drama. Mem I'm okay, all right, this is I don't think so honey with Boonen Yang and its time starts now. I don't think

so honey. Eminem's. My co host, Matt Rogers brings Eminem's to the fucking recordings every week, and I don't know why, because they just make a mess. He's about to throw them and no, never mind, he's just gonna put them in his mouth. He's eating them right now. But look he's chooting them. That's the most disgusting, ungodly sound ever heard. I don't think so honey. You making me just nibble at them, and then I have coloring on my fingers and I have to lick it off like a fucking

five year old. Why would you make me do this? I feel debased, I feel prim I feel so childish, and I don't think so many. I don't know why you would keep bringing these disgusting traits. They're not healthy, they're not good for you. I don't think so honey. Eminem's. Um god, I can't even fill up a whole minute

talking about this. I'm just very mad that you would bring this, and it actually ends up sabotaging my cadence because I'm trying to hold up, hold up conversation and but meanwhile I'm like reaching over and eating this and like it's not, it's not, it's it's it makes me a worse a worse host, and you are you are trying to sabotage Me's very transparent. Okay, that was the worst you've ever done. Because if you don't want these eminem's, by all means, have some of the pretzels that I

also bought. No, or these Pepperage Farm oatmeal raisin cookies which I got because I know that you like oatmeal raising just like me, and I go out of my way to provide a variety of snacks and for you to act like I forced you to do anything, bit, we're not going to eat the snacks while a recording. I know why you bring food to the recording because it is a nice thing to do. And hph, I just nodded his head in agreement behind you. So guess what, honey,

I don't think so. I don't think so, honey. They just interrupt my my sort of my flow. Okay, don't you dare touch them again if I ever bring them, and I will and I will continue to put them out on the table and sort them by color, which I do, and if I to them, honey, I just there's no practical purpose for them, but enjoyment. This is believe this. What is your take on his take? My take is, um, sorry to be divisive, but it's a nice thing to do. And you were eating them, which

I resent I should not have been eating them. Okay, get some self con I don't think so, honey. Behavior that's fair. I think that you were, so I can kind of pass judgment, like, yeah, yeah, you know what this is. This is historic. I'm resending this story. The ban will say this. I really respect that you pretended like you've prepared. I don't think so, honey. This week good because you didn't prepare that, which I am on record over the last several episodes by saying Bow and

Yang never prepares. I don't think somethings beforehand, and he tried to very slyly do this. I don't think so, honey. Matt Rogers brings them and then just now and it was that felt like prepared and forced to you. Well, you literally called out that you couldn't get through a minute. No, I'm saying it didn't feel prepared at all. You were. You were very cleverly trying to, you know, make it seem like you had prepared. So it wasn't. Okay, we don't have to we don't have to talk about that. Wow,

you just spiraled this is Matt Robbers is. I don't think so, honey. Time starts better be good now, I don't think so, honey. The phrase Seacrest out, how come we just let that happen? First of all, bitch, No, I don't think so, honey, Seacrest out. It had nothing to do with the show. It was very transparently Ryan Seacrest stopping his stupid little feed in a meeting one

day saying I need to sign off. I need to sign off, and everyone in the fucking room sucking, throwing their hands up in the AIRBN like we don't know what to say, Like come up with something. He said, fine, I will, said Seacrest out. Probably people laugh because it was so stupid, and he thought, huh good, yeah good, and kept saying if I like several seasons, to the point where it became like an institutional part of American idol, and it was Seacrest Out, which, by the way, the

irony of that is fucking crazy. Seacrest Out. I don't think so, honey. Also, you should literally take note of the amazing other sign offs like Tina Fey's wonderful weekend up date, good night and have a pleasant tomorrow. That's was that drink hurt well Originally? Yeah, okay, um, I don't think how any Seacrest out. And you know what I say at the end of this, Roger's just kidding. I would never say that. And that's one minute seven seconds to Jane Curtain. I had to correct because you

were spreading falsehoods. I didn't think Jane Curtain came up with that night and have a pleasant tomorrow. She did. C craze good night number six of Culture Jane Curtain created good Night. There was the usually conducted with sign off was good night and have a pleasant tomorrow. I don't think it was. I think that. I would like to challenge you. Okay, well Culture Asta's listeners look it up. It's real. Do you know this The answer to this, no, I'm really not like I didn't grow up on it.

Lover no, I like it. I definitely watched it more now than ever, like having friends who work on the show. Prior to that, it was like all right for me, No, it just wasn't for you. You were a mad TV eque. I actually did like mat TV more. This is the thing and like some mad TV is really good. Some TV is really good, and like more people are more people are like coming out of the closet about TV. It's the next movement, I think, coming out and saying

they love that. Three of us love it, like Patty loves it, like everyone like secretly love We just watched the Huntresses was on Huntresses AG, which is another thing Huntresses A, which is another thing that is like that

is really good at being bad on purpose. It's really good at being There's a scene where they're like running through the forest and it's just running from the side of the set to the side of the set and cuts are horrible and is so funny and when they run from across the set and like but the best part is they go to a corner and then they just tuddle and like for turn to face each other

and then watch that. Everyone go online and watch Preistor Countresses and the way that Deborah Wilson delivers lines in it so funny. She just screams them and screams them. It's so good. Um, Okay, Mitra, are you ready? Bone, I'm going to do the one that I didn't do for the culture because it was we it was too dark. Well, I love that. I love that you bring the darkness. I think it's really funny though. It's really good. Okay, I don't think so, honey. Her time starts now, I

don't think so, honey. My grandpa's funeral, Okay, So the guy who runs the funeral is this pastor that we didn't even want. He had a horrible toupee. He was eating all the food and like all my family is like whatever, and some of them I don't even know, but I knew that this guy couldn't possibly be a relative. He went on stage and he read the fucking footprint story as in, like two footprints on the sand, which

is a magnet. He just read it as though it was something that actually applied to the story, and then he pronounced every single person's name wrong. My name is, but he pronounced Mitro, Naja and Arayah. And then he left the service early it didn't even call with us to the mausoleum, so we just like did it on our own. And then this was not his fault, but I will attribute it to him with somebody picked the song and I will always love you to play and that was the song that played as if people left

the fuse and like hugged everybody. Goodbuy. So we're just listening to the song. And now every time I hear that song, I think about my grandpa's funeral. I don't think so, honey. The people who did his makeup, he was cooler than that, I don't think so, honey. The bad nacks in the funeral home, in the bad conversation, I don't think so, honey. My grandpa's funeral that was great, was really really good. Oh my god, that's so. When you told me that story, I was like, that is tragic,

but also it was crazy. But it was also like very funny because like my grandpa's super super funny and he would have like just lost it. Yes, it was crazy. He didn't even try to say my dad's name. My dad's name is Maron, and he was like run of course, and you know youright, everyone in the room because he's like yeah, he was like he's like Southern Baptist pastor or whatever matron so and you know, afterwards, to his wife he was like, the names were insane names. I

thought I did great. And you know the song we did at the end was that Tony Braxt Tony Morrison. She was a wonderful singer. I told she needs to put out a new record to the footsteps story Footprints, yeah, you know that one. Because I saw the magnon on the fridge. It was truly crazy, like that is the worst story. I mean, we were just all looking at each other like I can't believe just tell any other story. There's so many things in the Bible about death, and

just that story like still doesn't make sense to me. Also, not for nothing, but if you don't have the right thing to say, like if that story is not going to make sense and you can't make it make sense, and if you don't have the right thing to say,

just say less. Say I had I had a family friend that passed away very young, and the pastor got up and I guess felt the need to try to say something about when a person dies very young, and he was like, you know, you have to think this was what was and he was trying to kind of say like trying to kind of say like things like that, and some people do take dude, take um saw us in that, but he kind of like got so like tripping over his words and I think maybe nervous as

he was saying it that he ended up saying something that was like we should all just like, uh, you know, take care of things sooner, and like you know, because the person got it was just it was so it was it was just so far away. It was like watching someone like trip over a rock and then trip over another rock and then another rock and then a waterfall.

But it is like it is like it is like grief is so funny, like and like my week of the funeral was like so crazy because I had to I have like had to come back to New York and then to go back to Louisville for the funeral. And I am on the way to my flight, I got in a car accident and then started my period. And you know what, God has a plan for that. That was God. That was that was God. It was

so tight. Yeah, nothing like a tight uterus on a woman, a man uterus, this storage this this episode has tickled me, tickled me in all the right places. You know what, I think? This was such a fun romp. Actually one of my least favorite works. Sexual romp is like it's always like a bad rom com Yeah that's a romp. Oh, so it's bad. It's what they call a movie that has like more women than they'd like it to be. Feel like they can't call it like a comedy, so

it's a wrong. It's like not all thin women. They're like, it's wrong. If there's one person of color, or a gate or a queer person, it's a wrong. This wrong A rat race was a wrong? Is such a fun wrong? What wrong? Go a berg in rat Race? Member race? Rat Race is the mat TV of movies. It's so good. This is my full thought. Rat Race is the mat TV of movies. It's so good. A listeners, thank you for coming along with us on this romp. By the way,

that the title of this episode is wrong. It's a wrong wrong with stupid you guys around Maker is the best, but when is the best? H p J is the best and I'm the best. We gotta close up with the songs, close that with the song we always close that with the song. You've got all these snacks and you when if you pick the eminem, what you gonna do when you pick this snack? You like, you better commit to that snack. You can only have one snack
