Yes, goodness, lost culture ding, lost culturistas calling it's final here.

Y'all think we wouldn't get to it.

Y'all think too much? You played too much in our faces, in each other's faces, sometimes the readers Katie's publicist finalists. I see you out there, and you don't think we're gonna come up and keep our promises. This is the iconic four hundred. We're doing it. We're doing it.

I feel like Halsey right now that the way the fans are attacking me.

My god, she didn't make the list. She didn't make the list. I mean, that's okay, honorable mention, Halsey.

Halsey, you are even though you don't go by this you are one of the iconic Ashleys.

Oh, there's period. There's no doubt. If you think that, like if Halsey was on the list that that wouldn't have been one of the things we say that you're one of the iconic Ashleys, You're deeply mistaken.

Look look at what watch us give Halsey more time and more light to shine than most than everybody on this list.

And that is a honorable mention. That's why it's good to be honorable mentioned sometimes because you get talked about before the list. Because we're only giving each of these people, whether they're number four hundred or number two, thirty seconds each. We are about to fly through.

This is gonna be I don't before we go down the street, I am just gonna say, with peace and love for both of us, I don't know if we're gonna stick to this all the way we're.

Gonna do it. So Producer Rebecca is just offscreen with Chicha and Chicha here the dog, and basically she's gonna let us know when thirty seconds is up and we're going to move on to the next person, and we are going to make sure that all four hundred of these icons get their shine because this is to celebrate four hundred episodes of Lost Culture. Mind you, we did.

Plaise ass the four hundred mark.

I'm going to guess we're around like four thirty four or four to thirty five.

Yes, something like that, something like that number of people in a in the House of Representatives.

Wow, four thirty eight, five thirty eight.

Four thirty five thirty electoral five thirty eight is the electoral college. You know, we're not here to talk about we're not here to talk about politics. And you know what, not many politicians made it onto the list just to give you a taste. Only the true, the true cultural movies and shakers.

Yeah, exactly, only the real ones.

Now, what do you think before we before we launch into this endeavor on a on a time bound structure.

Yep, what do you have to say.

About generally speaking, as we're as we're already doing, anything more to say about these people?

If you're on this list, it means you've had a cultural impact. Okay, like that's really the only rubric. Yes, have you made a cultural impact that puts you in the top four hundred Richter scale culturally? Do you know what I mean? The pop culture Richter Scale. If you have registered at at least a nine point zero, you were considered for you.

Were if you caused a cunt quake, you were on the short list for this list.

And honestly, I think the short list was probably around seven hundred names. We called it down to four hundred. These are the iconic four hundred, not just people but cultural figure cultural figures.

Can I just say though, as we were putting this together, I was up until three am last night. I could tell, And I was like, you could tell just just just from the delirium.

No, because like the I well, let's just say this, the list wasn't made until until really this morning.

And this is kind of the the best way that we operate. Oh, absolutely in a crunch, in a crunch, because you know, that's when things really pop the top of mind totally. And I also just want to say that, like it was not an easy thing where I was not. I think you and I are both like, oh, it'll be easy to come up with four hundred people, Like, that's four hundred people, How many people? How long could

What do I like now?

Who are the people who have made a cultural impact on not only need but the world. I really did put myself in the in the world shoes.

Yeah, we are speaking for the world. And I think that was something that we knew going into this, that this is going to be not a living document.

This is the document. Oh, this is the document. It's done. It's etched in stone. We received this from the mountaintop. It is done.

It is you.

There's only originalism in this ten Commandments, more like iconic five hundred, five hundred watch when like we just decide halfway through, like because we get told like, hey, did you guys know you also have missed a five hundred episode And we're like, oh god, and then we have to on the fly, I think of one hundred more.

People and give a hundred more people.

But we are literally making such a huge sacrifice by limiting the time we are giving to each of these people, like for the sake of listenability and expediency, Like we don't want to take up too much of your time listening so we're gonna make we're gonna keep this heat a tight three and a half hours for you. Yeah, overall told so that we're releasing this over five days

Yes, and there's a twist. Oh, the person that is number one on this list will be a guest, will be a guest the week after this series if you listen is on Monday, October seventh.
