Look mare, Oh, I see you my own look over there is that culture? Yes, goodness, wow, lost culture, last culture. Now what are they going to talk about today? That's what all the readers are saying. Now, what are they going to talk about today?
Well, I'm genuinely asking this question because we are recording this on the same week as last week's episode, very near, very near, and so I do have that, you know, podcast or anxiety. I think, oh am, I not going to have anything to talk about with my co host. But I know that's never a challenge with.
You have, Ppa. I don't podcast performance anxiety. Hep ah my god, do I just create We just created a new contemporary disease mental illness Ppa, Oh my god, Canadian golden showers. Yes, lover saying Ppa, I'm saying right now, this is going to be the best Last Cultures out of all time. Today, Honey, I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it. Well, there's much to celebrate and remember and reflect upon. Oh, can we just well, what do you want to talk about? First? Listen? We can start
on a mournful note. I think we have to start in a mournful note. Yeah, because we're recording this On Saturday, September second, last night, a legend passed. Jimmy Buffett has passed at age seventy six. He was the singer, songwriter, icon, author, and entrepreneur. Billionaire. He was a genius. He was valued at one billion dollars. And this is when you go,
maybe not all billionaires. Are not all billionaires. If it's Rihanna and Jimmy, if it's Rihanna and Jimmy and soon Taylor, three of the least evil people in the entertainment industry, those are the three least evil people in the entertainment They are the kindest, biggest slaves.
Actually, I will say Taylor giving the teamsters bonuses.
That's good. Are you kidding me? That was huge to give him a huge bonus. I mean like that's like everyone on the whole thing got one hundred thousand dollars. But we digress. Here's the thing we're talking about Jimmy. Now we're talking about Jimmy and I so the Taylor Swift of his time in many ways, bitch, did you know he is? I read his obituary, as many people did. One of only five or six writers, including Ernest Hemingway and fucking John Steinbeck to top to be number one
on the bestsellers list for nonfiction and fiction. Yeah, yeah, I mean he had a real connection to people and to like creativity, to art. Yeah, and this man Ryan's flip flop with pop top you never forgot. You never forgot that blew out my flip flop stepped on a pop top? What is it? What's the rest? Had a cruise the way the cruise on back home, a cruise
on back home. Honestly, here's the thing about Jimmy Buffett who And I was reading about him today too, just briefly, I felt like I didn't even need to just need you have the bibliography on him. I needed to. He is giving jaws like you don't know, Jimmy Offfitt. If you're not American, I feel that is the America. I want.
This man who is able to unite people from every end of life, Yes, make them feel welcome, either in the music or in the eating establishments, just the lifestyle, Gulf and Western lifestyle. He created something many special things.
He as a true artist in that he had a vision in combining fucking like Calypso country rock that's incredible. He invented a new way of expressing it. It was yacht rock, and it was been yacht but it wasn't, but it was still so signature and to have that in the music, end in the brand, and therefore in people's lives. My dad sent me the sweetest message I posted. I was thinking about him today, Trina. Actually I called him this morning. It was the first thing I did
when I woke up. I looked at my phone. I was on a group Texas to Jimmy Buffett and tagged me and said, Matt, where thinking of your dad? And I literally called my dad. And I didn't know what to expect, and I didn't know if I could expect him to be like emotional or what. But they were at the beach and they came to the beach to pour one out for Jimmy. It's just I texted Andy actually to see how he was doing because they were friends.
And apparently he was really at peace when he went like apparently he had been sick for some time and that everything was accepted and you know, everything was good. And I felt like, yeah, I mean what, that's like a fitting way for him to go, like truly like at peace. And also the fact is if he had been sick for a while and no one knew about it. I mean, this is someone who's like a cultural icon and no one knew he had been struggling. In this way, I think he genuinely had care for his fans up
until the very end. He's like, I don't want them to know that I'm suffering. I want them to think it's still a party, you know what I mean. And even in the way that they disclosed, his manner of passing was very like the vibes were good, and it's just so rough because my dad said like he was the music to my voyage. Oh my god. Yeah, people have a connection your dad being like the parrot head. You've seen that room in my old house. I've seen
the room. It is imagine a corner in a basement at the basement, right, it was like the back den. The back den. Yeah, that is just airlifted out of city walk. Yes, it's beautiful. It was. It was a beautiful room. And but I'm just saying like this, there were so many parrots in that room. So remember counting them. I didn't count them. Oh I count there was about twenty three parrots. Did did you just count the parrots in Broadway ants or no, I think we did that,
count the parents in Broadways. But in Broadway Ants, which was my old web series with Doug White with Doug Whydeck, they did debrief all the shows they saw in that room. I think we discussed it. Funny. That's so funny.
No, I'm saying, like he provided an esthetic for so many people, your dad included obviously. Yeah, it's a lifestyle. And when you sell people a lifestyle that is like harmless. Yeah, and like it's about chilling out. It's about chilling out. Like that is like thank god he like provided that on such a scale. Yeah, And I don't mean scale in the business, and I just mean like in terms of like getting into people's hearts and creating a fantasy for people that is like really lovely.
I think is beautiful. I mean it really is like this, Like I think that a lot of people that were his fans were actually hard working type a people who just literally wanted a break. And literally he personified what it meant to take a break, to take a break.
But see, even even if you're talking about like him not wanting to worry his fans for any illness because the party is still going. I mean that is like a pure commitment to that idea because even he, like I think like after a certain age, was like, this isn't what I do anymore necessarily in my own life, but I will still sing about it. I'm very much like when he started writing books. I think was when he was like buckling down and being like I am just gonna be like pretty like square and not be
like this man. But then I'll dress up on stage as this guy. M like, that is there's such a beauty to that too.
What if today Beyonce at Renaissance Stur does a cover of cheeseburger. Imagine Beyonce at Renaissance in La in La, just like so close to her birthday. She's like, we need to stop the show tonight. We have lost a legend because you know Beyonce respect of course she does, and she shut it all down to saying geez burger in paradise. I would love that. If she is worth her salt, she will turn to God and she will say up there in heaven, I see you, Jimmy. Here's
my sunning rendition. She has of cheeseburger and she has to this man.
Just before the skincarelines and the fucking.
Before my Slabs, there was Margaritaville, And that's a rule of culture. Number nine before house, I believe your go to is House Flabs and not fenty or like No, for me, the number one celebrity brand is House Lab Labs. Should we do a House Labs episode where we have like, do we do a video and we have a woman come in who's like incredible jobs and we just do a house we should just get rap?
Maybe her name is Stephanie GERMANA. What if Gaga ever came on the pod? That would be first of all, I realized that I am going through my life with Gaga the same way you.
Am going through my life with Yaga, the same way you did for a long time with Kelly.
Where like I have fear about meeting her, yes, I completely understand. And if I've ever presented the option where it's not completely on my own terms, I will decline.
Do you know what I'm saying? And if she were to.
Ever come on this pod, can you even imagine I? That would be my not to compare it to your journey or your voyage, but I would not be able to keep now.
I have such.
Respect for the composure and the professionalism you kept around her during her episode. It's even on fucking film, like I would not be able to keep it together.
But we're going to. I don't know, I'm putting it out.
Anything is possible at this point, really, especially in a post Kelly landscape on Lost Culturistas.
But I I just if we committed, I think we could make a serious case for God. Come on the pod, we come on, you know what will do? This is what I want to do. I want to go to Vegas with you and see her jazz and pian I know, and do it there?
Did you see she did stupid love jazz rendition and it sounds dare I say, little monsters just saying it sounds better the original?
I mean, why wouldn't it. She's just a constant sleigh.
Constant sight, like the horns come in and it's like Woo's.
I would love that, do you?
I mean not that this would have happened because he was sick and we don't know what he would have been able to do. You have regrets about not getting Jimmy on?
Oh? I mean like that would have been fun. But I don't. It's a difference. The reason why he's more significant for me is through my father. It's not for me. It's just like it will always connect to that joy.
He's the type of person I'm sure who would not have minded that like someone's parent of a different generation. I mean, no way was like their gateway through to even.
Like the title of his Greatest Hits album is one of the best greatest Hits titles. It's songs you know by heart. That's just like straightforward, it's like beautiful, Yeah, these are songs you know by heart. And guess what they were not hits. He actually only had any I always video was like the only like chart come Monday. And I think Margaritaville probably at some point just because of the all I want for Christmas is uness of Margaritaville.
Yes, yes, oh my god, inspiration inspiration is struck. The genius is in the walls. Can I ask did he invent the phrase it's five o'clock somewhere? Did he invent that?
Well, that was a song that he did with Kenny Chesney, but based on the phrase I don't I can't, let's look it up. I feel who invented? Who coined what this is? Good? Okay, so you guys, we're here in the culture lab and we're typing away who coined the phrase?
It appears like comedian Red Skelton coined I re least popularized the phrase in nineteen fifty nine.
Oh wait, so this is interesting. You know when you type something into Google and it fills in Yeah, so this is what I love when that happened. This is what happens when you type in who coined the phrase? Okay, and let's see if you can answer each one, and it's quiz bowl. Okay, who coined the phrase manifest destiny?
I think I feel like that is a because in paintings have manifest destiny, there's like an angel. I feel like it's either a Christian thing or it's like a Greek thing.
Why do I feel like it's like Andrew Jackson maybe who coined the phrase? And now I'm gonna click it. John John Lewis O'Sullivan eighteen thirteen to eighteen ninety five American and her they paint Columbia. Yeah, yeah, they paint like the woman Columbia, right, America. She's like moving across the island. I think, yes, yes, yes, what it was was like, it is our destiny to manifest the entirety of the continent of America. Yeah, totally period period. Okay,
what are you coined the phrase? Oh? My god, this is our news segment? Who coined the phrase? Who coined the phrase cold war? Oh? Interesting? These are a little too historic, don't you think? Do you want to just say, my guests, Yeah, your.
Guess who coined the phrase cold war? I'm gonna say that it predates the actual cold warm Hm, let's say it was I don't fucking know know, Walt Whitman.
The first use of the term to describe the specific post war geopolitical confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, came in a speech by Bernard Baruch, an influential advisor to Democratic presidents, on April sixteenth, nineteen forty seven. I would have never known. Yep, So this is this still fun? After one more, we're gonna find out who
coined the phrase rock and roll? Oh I don't pos I'm sure Alan Freed was his name anyway, anyway, Sorry, I didn't mean to No, you're right, it's not being fun, probably like one and a half because I've never heard of these fucking people I know, But isn't it interesting? Like we weren't wrong, We just weren't right. We just weren't right. We sort of knew something. That's actually a really interesting test of what the fuck you remember from high school? All the bullshit that we had just said
through Do you remember one? Man? I remember a lot of maths trig If I put a trigonometry problem in front of your face right now, what would happen?
I don't know, but you know what this is what blows my mind. There are friends of ours who know this shit because they have to, oh for tutoring. It's like Josh Sharp knows every fucking.
Yup, he's got to know the periodic table. Charlie Barday is out here teaching kids the sat right. Yeah, he a'm getting that wrong. Yep, he has to know the quadratic that I'm like, thank god, thank god, although I would have if I needed to. Yes, does that sound weird? Not? It doesn't sound weird. I was sitting here thinking like how lost I would be on one of those tests, like if you put like THET in front of me right now, which, by the way, I'm sorry to do
this to you. But you do have perfect scores on both these tests. No Nosa sac SAT. Was you flopped on SAT?
Wow, bitch, I got a twenty two hundred out of twenty four.
That's slayer. Why would you do I don't want to do that. Did you see the tellyboard day and Joe Castel Baker? I want to stay in that house against speak it.
That was the charge already house and we got a little you know, that was when we talked about the house and quote unquote made fun of it, even though it did on my knees begging them to forgive us. They did and ultimately it was fine, but it was because that house is stunning. I've had rough parties there one weeks where I was not staying in that house where it was like every geek when you've ever met, was like, I mean.
Yes, but also it's like it's about how you fill the house yourself. You know what you fill the house? We'd love.
That house will always be very special to me. I have very special memories in that house, and I am sorry. Sometimes we do this Reader's Keys Publicis finalists and Matt comes in with one energy, I come in with another.

Can I tell you I have had so much news day they will win a Pulitzer by the end of this half decade by twenty twenty five. I mean, forget about CNN, MSNBC saying Trump was arrested. I found out from Popcrave. I think every time Trump has been arrested, it's been pop Crave. They have someone placed everywhere.
Popcrave broke the story of Charlie xcx unfollowing arena and then tweeting messy Era, and then that caused it's actu an uproar that Charlie had to put out an extra like statement about.
Pop Crave is scaring the girl? Wait, what's going on with that Charlie stuff?
I don't really know, but then the statement she put out was basically like, I didn't want to do this, but after getting off the phone with Rina, I just think you should all know that this happened over a personal disagreement.
And blah blah blah blah blah.
And I'm like, wow, pop Crape is forcing fucking the girls, forcing the girls to talk, and isn't that huge?

I actually, for some reason, the YouTube wormhole that I've fallen into is like Disney Kids, and like Disney Kids when they first appeared on Allen uh huh. And it's so funny that camp Rock was such a sensation that Debbie Latta was huge, because it really wasn't that girl like high school musical, was that girl that was phenomenon? Camp Rock was not who literally watched Camp Rock? Can I actually throw that question out there?
You're gonna get millions of responses. Seriously, we were in that window where it would not have been cool to watch it. I think we were like at that age we're like, oh, you watched like high school musical.
I remember we were. It worked because I was in high school. It still hit me so hard.
I think we were like right in college as Camp Rock YEP, thirteen years ago. So what is that like twenty ten? So then we were in college, right, we were like trying to be cool college students in New York wearing black, smoking cigarette, you know what I mean?

Last time I saw you, girl, Okay, tell you've been crying to talk to. First of all, this is a fun game to play. Readers, finalists, publicist Kties play the game.

I first discovered this woman on an episode of Gray's Anatomy, on the episode entitled Yesterday, which is the first episode after the Code Black episodes. The premiere of Eric Dane as Mark Who Could Forget?
Who Could Forget?
Really seem perfectly soundtracked this show music supervised by the legend Alex Pastavas like a Starbuck and Bailey Ray plays.
Just stop cos Masma, Oh you need to do her bones? Bones? Got y? Do you know what I was thinking today, Like this is the fiftieth and it's like, oh, this is don't worry.
But if if this strike goes on till next May, then there might not be a forty nine, which I will not come to that.
Although, what's your temperature, Let's take the temperature. I don't want to just take the temperature.
Just such a bummer to talk about the strikes. But there is an emotional turning point potentially now that we're past Libor Day, because remember it was the vibe early on where it was like, this will be done by Labor Day, and they gave me some symbolic and whatever blah blah blah, like to finish it on Labor Day. But this is when we all go like, God, damn, this sucks. Anyway, let's not talk about it anymore.
You've brought them. I can't. This was this was on track to be the best Lost Culture episode of all time. By the way, we're recording in my new apartment in Long Island City. We didn't give a sense of place our first Long Island City episode. This is our first
Queen's episode Queens and Queens. I would say that that would be a good title of now, but the fact is that this is called the best Lost Culturess episode of all times because what it is because what we did a live listen of Nicki min As Wow, and it's a hook. It's kind of giving Drake, I.
Guess, don't say his name. Drake came on Shuffle and I thought I used to love this man. Someone literally on TikTok did a poll of like, say something in the comments if you're a true blue like Drake Stan, if you're not a guy, let's say now, I liked some one or two albums ago where he did like a house themed one. I used to know every word to this man's song, like take Care, I know every word on that album. Mm hmm, fucking I used to love this man anyway, It's just what a what a
weird tragic thing. And then his whole thing with fucking Megan is like so fucking shit.
I can't believe that. I just like god, this man anyway to in any way not be up in arms when a woman is shot, like to can you fucking imagine.
The thing that like all these guys are trying to put holes in is like, well, she's lying, like did it happen? I'm like, fuck, like in a court of law, it got you know, worked out. So whatever that means to you, I don't know anyway. Should we keep going on pop Crave or are you done?
What's happening with Popcrave? Wait? What is happening with Barbie? What records hasn't broken lately? Barbie is now the highest grossing movie have twenty twenty three and it's September. Good luck to any other movie that tries. Barbie has defeated, Mario Let that sink in Barbie has defeated. It is the year of women of women. It is the year of Greta Girlwig. Okay, so get this. One day we get an email. Here's people that have been pitched for
the podcast Greta Gerwig. We say, uh yeah, never heard back. Can I just say if you reach out and we go yeah, yeah, but you got to reach back out. Can I go public on something? Oh my god, I think Greta and Noah are mad at me. BF Why I got cut out of White Noise and you spoke up about it? I did not pick up about it.
Oh and I was potentially going to have an appearance in Listen this is gonna be a fucking thing. I was potentially gonna be in the Barbie movie, as has been maybe reported on. I think gret is mad at me.
Why. I don't know why I have not heard from the woman. Help me reach out Gretta being mad? You were and she was supposed to come on Lost culturstas I know, stop being mad? Stop being mad? Oh god, that has to feel really, really shitty for you, because it's to run awe to run a fel of either.
One of that howerd Cup. You hate to run, hate to run a foul, but to both. For some reason, I pissed off both of these legends.
You hate to run. The Oscar winners of Hollywood power Players one.
Oscar winner, one Oscar nominee. Neither the neither are the Oscar winners one as an Oscar. No I believe Noah has an Oscar for a marriage story. And this is why it's good that we're in the lab. Noah bomb back and the answer is, oh, sorry, they neither have won an Oscar. Oh god, I'm just I'm just digging myself into a deeper well, aren't I? Because now they're going to listen to this, and then they're gonna be like, why did you have to remind us that?
Why did you have to remind us that we were only nominated? Why the hell did you add no injury? But Noah, Greta, you gotta let me know what I did, because I suffering. I suffer. So I recently watched there was like something floating around from the dances. Huh oh yeah, she's such a she's literally number one. I wrote that I know we really do stand. We stand, we stand, and uh oh, can I say something I'm pissed off
about in relation to this? So I went on Keep It and talked about the Barbie movie Yeah, And they released a social media asset that made it look like you was like being anti Barbie. And I just want to say I am extremely pro Barbie. I have seen it twice. It's one of my favorite movies of the year. I think everyone in its lade. Did I leave a little bit confused because I wasn't when I thought I was going to get yes. But it's fine to process
art over time, and I fucking love it. And I feel like, well, Lewis was very negative about the movie, and he kind of swept you into his I felt like, in order to keep a conversation going, I had to be like, yeah, I can see why you'd say that this I could agree with, just to like have a subduct conversation about Undercurrent. And he was very black and
white about the fact that he hated it. But I loved it, and it made it seem like I did it, And I just want to say it really hurt the heart to see that people didn't understand I only have love for Barbie when I think you know, page six.
If you're going to report on this episode, as Bowen Yang complains about not being in the bar movie, you have to couple that reporting along with the fact that Matt Rodgers is pro Barbie and the social media assets for Headgum painted him in a terrible.
Well, it wasn't Headgun. It was actually crooked crooked. I'm sorry. We hate to call it out. I'm sorry to We hate to start hurt you. This episode is a five. This episode is a battlefield, much like love. Should the title that be battlefield? No, it has to be the greatest and the best episode of last culture time. We just want to remind everyone listening, take this podcast with the grain of salt. You know what I mean. You might be reporting, Oh you take this with the big
old rock. Take us with a rock assault, Honey, that's actually realer coachure number five. Take us with the rock of salt assault rock. Yeah, what is the best cocktail you've had recently? God?
I was my knee jerk response was gonna be a rocket fuel. But that that was the thing that fucking I was really I would say I was pretty down and out before Busted when we were on Fire Island, because as we mentioned last week, we all ordered rocket fuels. That was the drink that made Matt say, I like this, I'm gonna have three of these. And I enjoyed it
as well. As we've said, it's a pinacletta with a rum floater, not even just any and so it really knocked me off my feet in the period between Head of Lettus and Busted and Cherry Grove, and I was starting to close my eyes and potentially fall asleep, which really pissed off Matt Rogers.
Way, did I actually get mad you? I was. You were very drunk and.
You were really getting in my face, threatening me. And I only say this with love to wake up, to wake up, and I was, I don't remember this at all.
You were very threatening. Tell me what do an impression of me to me? If you close your eyes, I will have words. It was something like that. It was to that effect, I will have words. I will have words that sounds like me. So then what we did was say I have to wake us up. We walked over to the beach to look at the stars. Oh, and then we all went as a group and then totally black this out.
Okay, so this is the funny sort of irony to this is that Me, Josh, Aaron, Dave, and Matt Whitaker, we were all like in one group sort of laughing and enduring the sea. I turn around, you and Patrick Rodgers are two dark shadows on the ground because you've
what taken a nap? You full on took a nap on the beach before, and you were so cruel to me, and you full on fell asleep, and then like the entire walk over to the ice place, we're like, Patrick and I just took a nap, and I was like, you fucking stupid.
I am so stupid, and I want to apologize right now wholeheartedly. I should not have acted that way. It was untoward because you were threading me what. I didn't do any impressions. You were grabbing me by the arm. No, I'm sorry. I think when I turn up, I turn up. I know you do. And when I turn up, I got to turn down a little first, because guess what, I don't know if you remember this part, I busted at the show later on, I was live there. I know you really slay. I was jumping up around the room.
I was I tipped this person, busted Queen, our greatest living performer. Yeah, I had to give over one hundred bucks. I tipped two hundred.
Yeah, because I wanted to hear Zaturans at least ten times. Yeah, it's twenty dollars a pot.
Also, the moment of just putting the twenty in the bucket and hearing the music come in right away, shouts to the DJ, because it was just so interactive. It's an interactive imagine going to Universal Studios and none of it being on the rails, being a rollercoaster and you just fly wherever you want to fly.
Yeah, that's what a busted show is like. Yep, oh my god, busted did I've been thinking about.
This joke all week gone.
So before she performs, she does a lipsic number to Jesus Take the Wheel. She sits down on her Leopard Princess out of Nowhere and we again.
This is before the song. She goes, oh Jesus crass. The face is what I imagine Carrie Underwood screamed when she fell down the stairs and broke her face open. This was in twenty eighteen, Carrie Underwood falling down the stairs happened like five years ago, and Busted is still making jokes as her prelude into Jesus take the wheel. I go. This is a brilliant comedian Byey. I absolutely could not stand Jesus my face. It came out of nowhere. You can imagine it might be true, you can't imagine
Jesus Christ. And look, listen, we and all the love. Can I say, are upset? Carry? I listened to Carrie today than her song end Up with You, which was co written by Leland. And I also I want to say this Carrie Underwood, what a sleigh of a Christmas special it was on Max Now Max is. She wears a gorgeous blue shining dress at the end, proving that Christmas can also be blue. Yes, okay, let that sink in.
Anyone who eschews the traditional red green of Christmas, you're a hero. And can I say, including Carrie.
I don't really do that. I kind of embrace red and green, not green. That's okay. I don't think green. I don't think green. No, if you came out in only green for Christmas, I'd be like, okay, you're giving Saint Patrick's period, like I can't see you an all green festive and think Christmas.
I want someone to come out and give like brown and red in a way that's like reindeer slash gingerbread.
Do you know what I mean? I just want someone to do that. It could be anyone. Well, oh my god, we just had to hear heat. We had we had to heat because we share a secret. We share a secret, and I think I'm ready to tease the secret. Oh my secret is top braver. You thought that Bowen Yang and I have collaborated, You ain't seen nothing yet. My god, Oh my god, this is so you ain't seen nothing yet. If you think Bowen Yang and I have collaborated, you
nothing yet. I just cracked my knuckles into the mic. Do you think it's time? I think it's time. This is a little bit of a shorter episode. No, I mean because look, here's the thing about I don't think so honey. It promotes conversations.
Of course, I do you have something? Yes, okay, this is Matt Rogers's I don't think so honey. On this the greatest lost culture ists up of all time, m h and his time starts now.
I don't think so honey. Sand Currently in my apartment, No, there is sand, and guess what. We're actually miles and miles away from the beach. But it doesn't matter because of the way sand stays with you when you interact with it. I have brought it home with me. I have to say. One of the low points I don't think so honey, moment of myself and how I felt about myself was when Bowen Yang we were sharing around and he was trying to unpack and he said, there
is sand everywhere? Was this? He said, what is this? And he said this is sand? And he was getting so worked up, and I was like, this is my fault because I know that my weakness is sand and sand control. I don't have any sand control. Whenever I go to the beach and I interact with the sand, fifty it is up in everywhere. It is in my shoes, it is in the towel. I don't interact well, I guess with an outdoor shower, I really should be utilizing the facilities, but I don't.
I don't think so honey, sand because you follow me and that's one minute, it follows and this is I just need to give my Raschaman version of.
Polease And I'm so happy you finally get into this because you guys, there was actually a dearth of conflict, but there was a sand moment. Yeah, so this is what happened. This is how I remember.
We were packing. This is ramon, did you say unpacking your packing? We were packing, packing out and then I lift up shirt or something.
Yeah, there's like a big This is what like was peculiar to me. It was a big sort of like consolidated path of sand. Yeah, like amount of sand, which makes me think, did you like sweep it there? I'll tell you what I think happened, and I can only this is conjecture. Okay, I think think what happened was there was a fuck ton of sand in my Converse sneaker, and when I took my shoe and dump it out, all came out and sort of like dumped out. I can tell you it was not purposeful. Okay, But was
it what I think happened? Yeah? I don't see.
And the only reason I am like questioning it, or that I was questioning it, thank you for telling me, is because I'm like, Matt wouldn't do that. No, Matt would not purposefully do that.
I don't think that that is something a normal person would do, right, like just dumped out your sandy shoe in your bedroom, and I don't I hope you don't think that. I suspect that. No. But what I do think and what I intuited from your reaction was you were thinking in your head one word careless, no, careless. This is again, Rachmon. This is what I remember. I see the sand, I go, what is this? Oh my god, what is that? And this is how I remember Russo moan.
You said that's not mine. I was so fun. This was like during the day. But we were drinking.
No, we were drinking, and so then you're good, that's not mine, and I go, well, it's not mine, and then you were like double down and like made me think that I did.
No, Okay, I think, can I tell you. I think what was happening was I thought it was obviously me and I was doing a bit like nope, and I thought you understood. Sometimes I guess I just think you understand. I'm sorry I should have understood. Well, anyway, I want you to know the sand instead of taking out my
what do you call it? When you vacuum. See it's hard for me to find the word, but that's how little I So instead of vacuuming up here, I did push it under the couch and uh yeah, it's under there if you want to track like literally, no, no, no, don't get close to it. No, I know, And it's on me. There's a lot of things off. You're right now. It's awful. It is so bad. It's literally what stops me from going to the beach. Just say it and I like it. I want to love it. I want
to love it. Gun to your head. Pick one sand or glitter? Oh sand, really, glitter is the most annoying shit ever. So then there's a tear worse than sand glitter in terms of sticking around. Yeah. Like, here's the thing. If you went to the beach and it was glitter instead of sand, you would never get over that.
I'm going to tell you this now because by the time this episode comes out, it will have happened. I bought some little flakes. It's not glitter, it's not confetti. I bought little gold silver flakes for tonight's game show mm hm, for my making entrance. Yes, do you advise against it?
No? It might get on people. And here's what I'll say. Thank you for telling me, thank you for being a sister and letting me know that there will be glitter about. It's not quite.
I bought it at Target. I asked where the confetti was. The best they could do was this. It's it's bigger than glitter. It's not little little little particles. It's like little like this big.
I trust you. Maintenance at the Bellhouse may not trust you that. I don't want to.
I'm already feuding with no One, Greta. I can't feud with maintenance at the Bell.
No because at that point it's like a PR crisis. Then you need to highre crisis management. Then you need to be fucking studios. Yeah, Disney hired. Let's just say it out loud. Disney has hired. I think it's like a three hundred thousand dollars position, and it's like a crisis management person because they know how badly they're fucking up. Girl. Just end it and it to end the strike now,
I said, studios, you better give a fair deal. What if because this episodes are being so publicized, because it's the greatest.
Ep of all time, because because of the public feuds. Because of the public feuds, this is a huge platform for you. And I think what you just said to the studios will change things.
Yeah, and I want them to do something about sand too. While they're at it. They probably have the means, Hey, Joe Biden, why is there sand in my apartment? Kamala Kamala? Can someone turned that up? The sand going away? I mean, turn up the sand going away? So you know how one of my new things is TikTok. Yeah, yesterday I was on like Kamala impersonation TikTok. Oh my god. I mean do you think the bros broke that open? Yeah? For sure because the crows are amazing because that girl is that girl?
That girl, that girl Comma like the sun rash Tamala impressions. TikTok is so genius.
Was that a big song for you? Five? A brown ass back the sunriss kind of a cunty hook. That was their antidote to you know, what would you do? Because what a sad city. I had to come out with a song that was like, Okay, this is so laboratory groovy chill song. Oh groovy should bring should you bring back groovy? Well?
I've been saying from Girls, groovy lifestyle, my because all I want is a groovy lifestyle. What my groove life, Ticky bank rolling your groovy lifestyle, my groovy lifestyle.
Wow, so good. A great first scene in a pilot. You always be saying, Matt, I you love that pilot. I love that. Is it your favorite pilot? It's not my favorite pilot. I don't know what is though. It's a hard question.
I mean, like everyone says, like the Cheers pilot is perfect. I mean I've seen the Cheer I know, I know in the modern sense, like what is the best pilot?
Maybe Girls is up there? Oh, I know what Modern Family, Modern Family, Oh, Desperad, Housewives, Death, Lastives is a great pilot. We watched it New Years Oh yeah, and it kind of didn't feel as good.
Maybe Greece Anatomy, Gray's Anatomy has a good pilot because oh, because there's a cute scene between Christina and Meredith at the end where Christina goes go to bed, you look like hell, and then Meredith goes, so do you, and then Christina goes, that's not true.
That's really good. I love that. I love that. That's me and you girl.
We got everything in this episode. We have Nikki, we have Gray's anatomy, we have industry secret.
You want to know why it was like this, and also because we're at home. We're at home, and I just want to say, we're here in my home here before me. Yeah, we might have to come back here. Okay, anyway, are you ready to do your out of think so honey. I'm ready to do my own and think so honey, This in that case is Bowen Yang's. I don't think sohanni. And as time starts now, I don't think so honey.
Three M adhesive or in general, but especially this three M shit, the kind where you like, if you want to hang a hook on a wall, that is gonna ruin your walls, If you need to hide a cord with those little white tubes, goodbye to your wall, because guess what You're gonna spend upwards of a million dollars fixing up your walls if you leave an apartment like I just did. This shit is too sticky. Goldilocks should have gone in that house and gone This three step
is too sticky. This painter's tape is not sticky enough. And that's why we have never found the goldilocks of tape. Tape is either too much or too little. I need things held together, but not in a way that's gonna fucking gorillatriate everything on a surface. Okay, we just pretend and act like tape is normal. When it's too sticky, it's not. If it's stick to you, it's on you forever, and people go to the hospital for this shit on stick things Now make things not as sticky. And that's
one minute. Do you understand there's a theme we don't want things to take on us. Get off us, Get off. It's actually it's actually really culture number two hundred. Get off, USA Off, Get off us, get off. But on a human level, there is nothing worse than like stickiness, than humidity, then things staying on, clinging onto you. I hate it. Yeah, it's very bad. And I have to say, Okay, I know we've sort of beat the drum long enough about
our Lexapro hashtag Lexapro journey. But one of the things that's really tough in the very beginning is the sweating, the night sweats, because I struggle with that. No, I don't, and that is sweat being sticky and all over you. On the show. Now it's over. Now, it's over now that I've adjusted it. But like that is what like, I hate waking up and being sweaty. Rather the room that I'm in be frigid. Sixty eight degrees that's my
preferred temperature for sleeping. Is actually right around the optimal temperature to sleep. That's what I heard. Where did you hear that? I think Today's show, Today's show, which I'm getting back into. I'm slowly. I'm slow.
Okay, if you want my progress report for a morning show, yes, I am. On season two, episode four. This is where moderating the debates is a big a story. But at this point, Bradley Jackson and Julia Margleiz I forget her character's name because she is severely underdeveloped, have.
Hooked up. Yeah, and I will say season one was like fun pulby campy, not even campy. Now. This that was the moment when Reese like lunges towards Juliana where I go. The third graders have arrived.
Yeah, this was when I finally it all made sense to me. Yep, the third graders are here. This dialogue is crazy.
No, the third graders popped off in the second season, I've got the third gradest we're writing the first season, I do want to say I think they were like auditing the room or something, but tea try to have your hand and a teacher had to have your hair. But in the second season of The Morning Show, the third graders have gone wild and I'm on the paper. No yeah, and it gets even crazier. Girl, you're going to when you understand like where it goes in the
last couple episodes. I let's just say this. I am so excited for the third season. I am over the moon and I just it can't come soon enough. But it cannot. I'm not soon enough. I mean, it's truly a joy to watch. It's a jewel.
Well again, this show has altered something in me. Where I used to be, I would find it really hard to watch things, to sit through things, especially our long TV no shade. Yes, it was also me being sick. But now that I'm even out of that fugue, I'm like, this is with me.
Well you know why why? Because this is and this is just the truth. Jennifer Aniston is the most watchable person in the world period. She is the most watchable on screen talent. Out there period period in terms.
Of just like, yep, you are, I agree, I completely co sign completely God with a Star and even her scenes were the writing, I'm like, wait, did what did she just say?
But it doesn't matter. Aston sells it. Yeah, And here's what I'll say. It doesn't fucking hurt that Reese is also there, that Steve Carell is there, that like this, Karen Pittman that like it's just all a sleigh. But if we're being one hundred real, why it's Jennifer Aniston and she should have won an Emmy for that first season, especially if they were gonna give Zendeiya two. Like, Jennifer Aniston ate that up. And I say it just because she has no television peer, you know what I mean,
Like that's just the way it is. I give it up for First of all, I do think Marketyplace is doing it consistently eats the cast is so you know what it reminds me of, honestly, Praise No No, True Blood true that it's so funny, it was so insane, but the actors doing it were so good that you were like, Okay, it's just that that was vampires, so it could be fucking crazy, whereas this tone of this show is also fucking crazy, but it's like grounded because
it's a morning show when we recognize it, but it's somehow spiritually connected. For me, that's so interesting. I can't tell how aware it is of its own when it gets cuckoo, of when it gets coo kidded. I don't know, girl, because some shit happens in the later part of the season that you're like, no one thinks this is grounded.
Okay, Okay, I don't quite understand what's going on with Steve Carell's character in Italy with the Italian woman.
I think you're gonna see, yeah, and it's been ruined for you, right, I mean from my recaps on the show.
Well, does COVID get like brought back to the studio as like the reporter who went to China?
Is he bringing back COVID? I am not gonna answer that question. I'm gonna let the COVID storyline of The Morning Show Season two just unfold for you. I'm just gonna let it. I'm just gonna let you experience it the way God intended, which was naturally and without impediment of me telling you or reminding you of what actually happens in this season of TV. And I stress that it is something I want every reader to be off every and I rarely give homework.
No, and if it means anything that I am now coming in as you know, substitute teacher and saying, this is your homework.
This is your homework. We are watching the third season together. It is our favorite show. Not to scab and promote a sage. We're allowed to do a podcast about a culture? Yeah, okay, should we put in there? Matt and Bowen realized this scab. We're very high. Okay, you give us a goddamn break. Listen what an episode I mean? This was? Let me just google, let me just yeah, the last episode of all time, that's what they're saying. Feels like the Carol g Of episodes. It's the Carol g Of episode. It
does feel like old school lost culture period. Sitting in an apartment? What could be better? What sitting in an apartment could be better? With the culture? Number two? Sitting in an apartment could be better? With that? We do end every episode with the song Jeez fairde Heaven on and on, not too particularly not Jeez the parode Then Rest in peace. Jimmy Smoke a Jay drink a Mark. Good Night, everybody,
