"We Are, All Of Us, Quibi Girls" (w/ Adam Rippon)

It's a truth inflection point in my life. It really is, and that is it's Um, I'm I'm on the Survivor train now, I'm watching Survivor. I can't believe I've slept on it for this long, for the past twenty years. Is it not the best thing you've done for yourself? In char here's what it is for me. I don't know if this is everybody's experience before. I have so much to say about this. I've searched to say about this outside of even just the show. But oh, I

mean same, well here we here we go? Oh yeah, and then call it a social experiment for no reason. And that's actually rule culture number eighteen. They for no reason elaborate. I want to say that the reason why I think it's such a I just I just think it's having a moment right now where a lot of people are starting Survivor um. But I for me, it's like if I'm watching any old regular scripted show reality show where I'm like, oh, those people are at a

bar and they're hanging out, like I get sad. I'm like, I'm not experiencing that, but I'm if I'm watching Survivor, it's very interesting because these are people who I would not trade places with even now, and they're suffering and there, I mean, they get to socialize and touch other people, which is nice, but it's it's it's it's a really therapeutic watch where I'm like, if they can get through thirty nine days of this, I can get through thirty nine more, you know what I'm saying. And we have

now passed thirty nine days. So I was actually thinking to myself, I started on day thirty nine of my quarantine. I started Survivor on date thirty nine, and that's huge and makes you iconic. Yes, And I just want to say that I was thinking to myself in my own home about how it had been thirty nine days, and I was like can you imagine going on an island, a hot island, hunt hot island during the day, perchance

cold at night. And this is something that I don't tell you about Survivor is it's hot during the day, but it is cold at night. And that you know that's actually real culture number forty Survivor. It's hot, hot during the day, but it's night. And that's part of it, babe, that's part of it. But I was thinking, Okay, this is literally so hard, and I think that it is something. There's something to watching someone who is in a worse situation than us right now do their day to day Now,

did you know? And I know that you know because you're the one who alerted me to it. But the Survivor read it, has heard that we have begun watching this. This is my this is my this is my whole sort of meta layer, uh sort of opinion on all this is that like, this is gonna be my ownt thing, so honey, but we are addressing you. Reddit. It doesn't even apply to It's not even Reddit. It doesn't even and it doesn't even specifically apply to Survivor. Here's what

I'm gonna say. Any fandom is implicitly like pathetic and makes you a toxic person if you're if you're such a fan of something that like, Okay, first of all,

let's just give context there. Apparently there's a reddit, a reddit threat on the Survivor subreddit where someone was like, man, all these social media gays quote unquote are really watching Survivor now, and I have such weird feelings about it because I want people to watch the show because I'm a fan, but I'm protective of my my, my fandom,

which I guess. But then, but then this person goes on to say, like, for example, I just watched Bowen Yang on his instant story talk about how a thirteen year old season a thirteen year old season, and how Jonathan and Candice Bowen. Bowen's hot take was Jonathan and Candice mute need to railroad to ethnically cleanse Rarrow, which is not even a take, it's just factually what happened.

Let's give a little bit of context here. Let's we have to give a little bit of context here, which is Bowen is watching the season of Survivor which is called Survivor Cook Islands, which it has been also dubbed Survivor Race Wars because what they did was and this was this was CBS's fault. They split the tribes up into the races. Okay, so this was controversial on their part. And so when people are on Survivor often what you do is you stick with your tribe to get numbers.

And so it appeared that contestants were like, we gotta stick with our quote unquote tribe. Except it except you literally had Jonathan Penner say things and I quote we gotta get rid of the Asians. It's like, maybe he should have used the tribe's name there. Maybe yes, absolutely, but it's like you no, no, no, no, but Matt, here's the thing. It would you would never flip it. You never saw it flipped. Were like team like like Team Mom team formerly Puka was like, we gotta get

rid of the white people. You you never you never like It's it's it's like there's there's no like reverse equivalent, there's no inverted equivalent. It's like whatever, I don't, I don't have I don't I'm not gonna use my powers of persuasion to be like this is actually what happened. And like the people on this reddit thread were like, Wow, I gotta love snarky gaze who come up with a hot take on a season that's thirteen years old. I'm like, it's not even a hot take. It's like, this is

my interpretation of what happened. And it's like, okay, so then I shouldn't. So now I'm just like totally fine with not commenting on anything. Um No, truly, no, true, I'm not even being dramatic. I'm like, but this is what I'm really, this is what I'm realizing. I'm scoping out onto every kind of fan in like whether it's like I'm dealing with like final Fantasy bullshit, even SNL

people who like love the show. I'm like, oh, the fact that you are so obsessed with this franchise, any franchise, and have such strong opinions about it, um to not even invite any other opinion at an opinion that seems like too new or is outside of like what you're familiar with, forget it. I don't. Well, A lot of people are protective over the things that they love, and

that's that protective nature. Let me say something, and that protective nature can sometimes extend to I actually don't want anyone watching this but me and I'm right about it, which is not true and is dangerous but that but that's where they're coming from. But it's such a slippery slope to to to get to that place because now it's like even now it's like the drag race. People fandom who like are sending death threats to like some New York queens this season. I'm like, yeah, I mean,

and any obsessive fandom is cucku crazy. That being said, I would love you to be obsessed with me. Ye, start to Reddit for Matt Rodgers and how your opinions and and please and while you're at it, can someone explain to me read it? Because every time I go on read it and I'm like, what is this? Is? That? Is this? I don't know, but I don't know how to do it. I feel that Reddit is difficult to navigating. It's it's not you spend like, you know, a few

hours with it, get to know it. Maybe Google Google a damn you know how to page that has a damn legend for you, And I'll do my research. But while I do my research, all survivor fans should know that we are here and we're not going anywhere. And we're going to be watching the show and you and also we're coming at you with our hot takes for seasons not even just thirteen years old, but twenty years old. I will watch Survivor season to Australia and have something

to say about Misshasselbeck. Okay, and you will hear my opinion right now in the moment when I've see fit because I couldn't. I didn't have the emotional intelligence at age ten, eleven, age twelve to say the way I feel. And so now I will watch Survivor Race Wars and I will have an opinion. Thank you. And do you want to talk a little bit about your Survivor Quarantine experience. I'm doing a Survivor on Instagram. This is true. It's it's called Survivor corre Arantine and I can't say anything

about my gameplay. I just would recommend everyone follow at Survivor Underscore Quarantine and root for me. Also, a contestant on the show is the one and only Holland, who we talked about last week with Laura Laptus, and it's almost like the fates brought her into that and so you can follow all the happenings I hope you are a gay man who wins um this reality competition. I'm

watching Survivor China right now. I spoiled it for myself, But a gay man wins that one, you'd spoiled it for yourself and I But that's what I'm still I'm still gonna enjoy. We have our guest today speaking of a gay man winning speaking of a game, and winning a reality and and winning an Olympic medal speaking not honey, national champion, well okay, an Olympian and also the stars he has that mirrorable trophy with miss Jenna. Yes, and we were and first of all, we give a shout

out to miss Jenna. We give a shout out who was who was our girl? That is our guest today's partner on the show. And let me can I say something about Dancing with the Stars please, They could never do it without their partners, and it's rule culture number eleven on dancing. They can never do it about their partners. And this is a reality show competition show that has still the test of time as well, do the test of time as well. You don't get that many of

them in the culture, you really don't. But this is someone who you know, dances beautifully on the ballroom and on the ice, and he's dancing into short form mobile content, Yes, short form mobile daily content daily. Okay, we're talking about miss Quimby, MS Quimby and the three, I mean all three of us at this point have Quimby, Quimby, Quippy Quimby blood. You know, we were all Quimby girls. And actually it's a front runner for title of up Cibby Girls,

and it's actually a runner for title of EPP. I find that it's stomping to the front of the back. It's saying here, I don't think I don't think it's just quicky girls. I think it's just to fully quote the send and that's we are all of us Quimby girls. We are all of us. We are comma, all of Quimby girls. And the thing is um this. I want. I want this individual to stomp the floor the way

he stomped the world stage. And I want him to tell us all about the Quimby show at all, about everything that's going on, and spill all the tea about the Olympics. I have lots of questions about the Olympics. Bow and Yang. We've never had an Olympic athlete. Not I've never had an Olympic athlete on this podcast. I'm so excited. So we have to get our other sister, Gusts on here one of these days. But he didn't

get here first. That's he didn't get here first. I mean we our guest is breaking new ground for this podcast, which is so important. Now everyone please welcome into your ears. Wow, you guys, I have to tell you, it's like my dream to be here and what honestly what First of all, thank you for shouting out miss Jenna. Mrs Jenna absolutely a star. She she is a star. She absolutely is a star. Do you keep in tid? Oh? Yeah, we

talk all the time. Actually to go from someone used to touch all the time and now you you you gotta figure out your other ways to touch. I know it's uh, you know, it's a journey. Um. I will say I'm a little brush burned at the moment, but I will um survive. I think, what do you know? What do you mean brush burn? This is I mean just it's just you know, I think at first, when you feel like there's not much like for you to do. I found myself on porn hub dot com. See brush

burn brush brush brush not not bloody. So I'm fine, no, that you haven't broken the skin as of yet. Yeah, And I think when you break skin, that's when you have to. I think famously take a sabbatic, all guys. I'm I'm noticing something in my in my meat beating habit. I gotta, I gotta, I gotta beat a little hard

stronger these days. I don't know if it's I'm getting yes, yes, completely, I need actually like a false Ringling Brother circus actoing on behind, because now nothing's doing it for me anymore, right, I mean that's a few weeks ago. I had done it so much that the bottom like had a solid consistency.

I'm talking about my penis here. The bottom of my penis like a consistency, and then the red like like it was quote unquote erect, right, And so I found that the bottom half of it would stay erect, and then the top half of it was like the buck stops here, and it sort of broke over in the middle. And I was like, oh, you're tired, aren't you. You're

it's pretty impressive you can isolate. I mean, let me tell you, I don't know if I don't know if it's impressive or if it's concerning that you're to each other. What I'm saying is my I broke my dick jacking off in quarantine, and I reach out to all the readers and all the girls out there might be listening to this and say, if you have a broken dick from jacking off too much, I understand you. I see you.

Matt is really out here repping the hive of people who have Titanic decks who just like split much us up in your like Reddit thread, which also I don't know how to use Reddit, because I was listening to and I was like, I also don't know how to use Reddit. It's because I would imagine that they discuss you quite a bit. Well, I don't know, because I don't know how to. I don't know. I honestly I've never been on it because it's too intimidating. There's not

enough pictures. I agree, I thank you, it's too verbal verbal. Yeah, can in a stock image? Throw in a fucking getty? Thank you? Can we throw in a getty? It's actually ruler culture number twenty? Can we throw on a getty? Can we throw one in? Um? Wait listen, We're thrilled that you were here. I mean that makes three of us. Were so excited. We're so excited. Adam, okay, I you're not the first, Can I Can I say something? We're not the first Olympian I've talked to in the last week.

I would say, because I ended up somehow in a zoom game night with UM, a bunch of beautiful Asian people among them Alexibutani and Apollo. Oh no, they were talking among between themselves. I was just like a fly on the wall listening to me. We were all on the same zoom. But they were talking about they think that the McDonald's in every Olympic village is like a sabotage plot from the Americans too overfeed the other countries Olympians so that they sucked them. They sucked their bodies

up by the time their events come up. I mean talking about Survivor race Wars. Wow, bring it to the forefront. So here's the thing, Like, you know, the McDonald's is notoriously like in the Olympic village, like in the cafeteria use my my hands to show you please please podcast absolutely and um it's a dance, uh yeah really yeah. So,

um when you're there, you're like, they haven't. McDonald's tucked in the corner, and like usually the only people who go there, they've either like they've either finished competing, they're celebrating, or are feeling sorry for themselves. And um, so like I didn't really see anybody over there at first, except

I saw the curlers. They were over there and I and you know, I would run into them and they were super nice, and I kept thinking every time I saw them over it by the McDonald's, I walked away every single time, was like, it's such a shame that they're not doing well. You know, it's such a shame. They're such good people. It's such a shame. They're so kind. Curlers are so they have such a good nature. They honestly they're good. But that's that's good people. Curling breeds

a really good person. And so, you know, one day I wake up and it's like the American curling team has won the Olympics for the first time in so many years, and I'm like, you know what that does? Check out? That does check out? Um, I don't know, but I mean I didn't have it until the very end, until which I gorged myself like I was training for a Nathan's hot dog eating context. Is it a really large McDonald's? Is it very tiny? Oh? It's intimate, romantic.

I would even go as far it crosses over into a restaurant, truly, Yes, intimate restaurant. Okay, Now this is such, This is such interesting contours of experience, and for all Olympians who don't don't really openly talk about it. So I just I just wanted you anything you want to know. I'm literally all. I love that the Olympics are a thing. I celebrate them. I watched them. But what I really want to know is about what goes down in the

Olympic village. Okay, I'll tell you because I I mean, of course, I was the thinnest I ever was in my life. I was ready to go snatch. I was snatched. I was going into the tanning salons. I had this skin color I deserved. But didn't you were ready for the world stage? That I was. Absolutely. I got my eyebrows and eyelashes tinted. I was ready for the spotlight. Are you kidding? I was ready for prime time? Yes?

And um, one of my pens I have a statement on that absolutely, and I was like, and now take my picture. So I was absolutely ready for anything when I shut up there and I was like, I've heard it's just uh fuck fast, yeah, and I was like, I cannot wait for what this is. Obviously, I'm going to stay focused on my trade. Um, because I'm a worker. If anything, I have the job, I will finish my job.

So I I walk in and, um, you know this is I'm just walking in with my bags, bright eyed, bushey tail, and I, you know, the stories are that, like they have baskets of condoms everywhere. So I, first of all, the Olympic Village is basically it's some sort of living situation that the city can then take over so that like the cities are left with something and not basically like a waste land. So our Olympic Village was these high rise condo buildings. So I lived in

three bedroom condo with five people. So I shared a room with someone. We had one teammate that had his own room, and then uh I we had roommates on the other side. Everything is covered in plastic. There's no refrigerator, there's no sync. The only thing that's like installed as a toilet. So it's very bare bones. It's it's oh, it's low b it's LB. Are you kidding? Yeah, there

were Their funds were not put into this. So you're saying that this, this kind of this shattered your illusion of like being this like beautiful sex resort, or I would say broke, not shattered, because it's still on obviously a path of finding where are the condoms? Even if at this point, because you know, it's so funny because I went to the Olympics at um my. I had teammates that were like seventeen and eighteen, and I kept thinking, you know what if I was like that age and

super horny, obviously you'll just you know, you're fucking to stare. Well, you'll tell yeah, absolutely, But like when you're twenty eight, you're like, I kind of don't want to like have everyone in the living room or like you know, et the McDonald's. And then like it's in your body in a different way than it was when it hits different different, it's different, you know, yeah, you know every word the prelude to the main orchestra and so the why yeah, thank you um And so then I was like, well,

I can't find the condoms anywhere. So one thing that happens when you're at the Olympics is you can get randomly drug tested at any time. And um I have famously been drug tested a million times, like when you know, randomly when you're at home too, they'll just show up. They'll call you, they'll be like, we're outside, we need a sample right now, which is you have to pee

in front of them. I've had situation where I will share on this podcast with you where I please to take a ship and there was you know how sometimes I don't know I have the power of you know how you have the power to have an erectic up to the middle and then your body said, no, that was just I have to just let me just clarify for all the readers. It was just this this in

this quarantine. Okay. Usually it's usually it stands up like the fucking money, and I do mean it's pointed at the end, sharpened like a damn pencil these days continue you got a contour. So then, um so I'm thinking,

like I need to think of an escape route. Well, so like the guy who comes in, he had come to my house so many times that I knew his name already, and so we have to The protocol is you have to show nipple to knee so that they know that you're not like faking it or like you can't go into the bathroom and come out because like people will in theory, you could have a fake sample like waiting to go, so you need to they just look they're not so they have to see your body

visual confirmation. And absolutely, like I said, I was, I was rail thin. I didn't mind. And what's this guy? What's this guy's do? What was he all about? He's just like he just works like the US Anti Doping Agency, So I just you know, it would sometimes he would come over. I'd have to like have a cup of coffee and like ten glasses of water. We talked for a little bit, and I pee in front of him and leave. I mean basically sounds like any date I've

ever been. I smell yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's Hallmark, hall Mark. Yeah. Um. So he comes over and I'm realizing I have to take a ship. Um. I'm thinking, obviously I can prairie dog it suck a back in

and I'll just deal with it later. But I'm realizing that this is a diarrhea, and I there's nothing I can do that feeling when you're peeing, and it's not like you can do just one it's a feeling when you're peeing, but you realize it's from the back, right, And I remember thinking, I was like, I wonder if I can convince my body to like move the fluids that I know are going to come from the back and just visually, because you know, they say as an

Olympic athlete that visualization is important. It's a very important part of being an athlete. That I was trying to visualize just the all the liquid is moving to the front and maybe see if I could channel it. And I spent maybe a good probably a wasted ten minutes feeling that out for myself, realizing unfortunately it wasn't gonna happen. So I looked at um, this is the last drug test I ever had, And I looked at his name was Amelio. I said, Amelio, I am so sorry that

I know this. You know, I'm retiring. This is the last time you're going to come to my house and I'm going to have to take a shift at you and look like a sad dog. So my sat on the toilet and had to take a diarrhea in front of my drug tester. And you have to do it in front of him. You could have told him to leave the room. You can't have to watch his body

produce the urine bowing. So the thing is is that like if he left, I'd have to just do another sample later, which like when you haven't you know, are you kidding? I was on the schedule, Yeah, you were on some schedule. Yeah, at the time. The girl was right there. They're everywhere. So but Olympics, they don't ask for urine. They asked for blood. Kinky um, so they asked for blood. So then they pick you up and

you have to go to like the medical room. So when I went to the medical room, and now it all comes together is where I finally found the condoms and they were not anything like what I had wanted. I thought they'd have the rings printed on them. I thought it would be and what was it? Just some like blue plastic nothing. It was a purple thing that said in Korean generic condom. No. Yes, And the Olympians you can't even make them. You can't even fluff the

people up. These are Olympians about to have sex make them feel like kings and queen terrible. Some walgreen reject that, but did you get did you get any dick in the Olympic village? No? I don't know, and that's also not well. I'm sorry? Are we Are we being coin now? After? There aren't? Obviously I was giving blood and urine. I was giving it out like it was a fucking party. You were ready to go? I was ready. I was

what do you want from me? Any? It's so crazy, like those have to be the hottest men in the world. I think the summer games are where it's truly at because it's basically their outfits are like, you know, it's your shirtless or you're outside, or you're you're sweating, you know. The winter sports are more about covering up, except for like figure skating you have to just look like a

cold whore. But like everything and everything else is just bundle I do have to say, as someone who grew up in Colorado and like grew up around ski culture, there's something very the fact that you are bundled up is potentially a turn onto some myself included, where it's like it's the mystery, it's the mystery, and like you're in the lodge and you see people taking off the helmets and the jackets and you're like, okay, there's something going on there, and it's four play and also not

for nothing but the performance and the costumer e and the tightness of the customer. And you actually said three words before which will always give me like a memory bonner, which were the words Apollo anton Oh No, he was a huge sexual awakening for me. Hue. I don't think I knew my penis could feel that way before I saw him on the Olympics and I was like, oh, that's why, that's what it is, why my penis is top to banam act. Oh, there were no it was.

It was a northbound train. There was no if fans or butts. There was no question. This thing was hard to follow. Anton Oh no was he was also an awakening for me? I mean, what was his first games?

What was Salt Lake City? Yeah, well we're all basically the same age, well like thirty yeah, yeah, so that that so I check out, our penises were all um sort of the same clock now, okay, and and please let please let us know if this is if this is too prying but could part of the reason that maybe you didn't really have sex in the Olympic village. Does it have to do with the fact that we're at this age now where it's like there is a little bit too much set up, there's too much prelude

to sex. There's too much like I got it because like I don't even know, Like he's like, no, no, no, I'll say that. You know what it was, It was like by the time I was done competing that I knew that there was like a lot of fanfare going on around me that I also wasn't trying to like capitalize on it. Yeah, well, I just know you'd have to do like you'd have to either like ask all your roommates to leave, and like like there was just it was too much juggling it and also enough for nothing.

But you probably we were one of the most famous people. They're like, so there is also the thing of like you know, there was like this like sort of America's Sweetheart narrative around you, and then it's like what happens if they find out what America's Sweetheart actually do. It's something we have to It's something that hippy girls have to think about. We Quimby Girls are in the Quimby

girls demographic. We are we are actually I'm sorry to say it, but Hose and I sometimes feel if some of these little girls buying McDonald's toys found out about the Hose, you know, they buy into it. I think, I think that in the back of their mind they have Apollo anton On no moment. But you couldn't have told me that wasn't the hottest thing in the world. I mean, I never even I thought. At first, I was like, that's weird, and then I kept I couldn't

stop looking. He's so handsome, so hot. And also the ass was mag magnificent. Yah has a lovely wife. Species that was it was its own thing. It was competing in another event. Looks has a lovely wife, looks looks I think looks better than ever. I agree, and thank you for saying that. Bowen, I completely agree. Thank you. Yes,

you're welcome. Wait, I have to say, as Quimby girls, we have a squeaky clean image to hold by virtue of us completely you know, yes, okay, would be the likely you know, obviously known as the Christian platform, the Christian platform. Yeah, all our shows have very Christian undertones, like I really really watched Game Show. It's actually about God and it's as I felt God in the room when I watch it, which I by I by the way,

I love Game Show. It's fancy. Thank you babe. And actually you know, we reached out about you being a wise queer, but she was busy, I know, and I was really really upset about it. Well, next season, do you hear that? Quimby next us him? Is this thing on? Baby? Is this thing on? That's visualization? You either turn your diary into piss or you will as season two of Game Show. Let me tell you something one is definitely

going to happen. We hope to happens. I mean I can tell you from experience it didn't, but I I see, I see good things for you. We hope. So um. Alright, so we're gonna take a very short break and when we come back, we're gonna come back with Adam Rponam. We're going to ask him the question that we always ask on this show. Bow and that will be really exciting, exciting,

will be right back. Okay, we're back with Adam. Adam, We're gonna ask you the question we ask all of our guests, um, which is Matt, why don't you ask the questions? Well, listen, this question is what was the culture that made you say culture was for you? So definitive, defining, definitely pop culture that made you say, Okay, this is doing something to me and causing me to become who I am. You know, I I've thought about how I

wanted to answer this question. Answer it, yes, And I wanted to say, you know, watching Nick at night, watching Lucille Ball, obviously, But when I think about it, and if I were to be honest with myself, I'm looking at myself in the zoom mirror right now, and I want to be honest. And I know that if I said Lucille Ball that that's no, it's not right. I'm gonna tell you when when I knew the culture was for me. It was the date Sherry Lewis, the famous

ventrilla quist, died. Now elaborate Sherry Lewis. Famously she is Lamb Chop, Yeah, Lamb Chop, thank you so much. She is a Pea Buddy winner, She's a twelve time Emmy winning ventrilla quist. I loved Lambchop, but I knew the culture was for me the day she died. It was something. It was like August and she died, and I gathered all of my Lamb Chop memorybilia and I created a shrine in my room and I cried, oh babe, so wait, can we because you have it, you seem to have

a vocabulary about Lamb Chop and Ms Sherry as well. Bowen, Well, no, I mean, excuse me. I don't know this person at all in Canada. You don't know Lamb Chop. No, Lamb Chop. I have to tell you I need I need an education from my sisters because because Sherry Lewis was part of getting me Rinky Dinky Dink getting rinky Do I love you? I love you? Yes? Well, of course I know that those are the lyrics. Of course I know

about Bob. It was it was truly like, that's that my my little childhood pantheon was like, this is the song that never ends? Are you yes to? Number one? Two? Number one, multi multi platinum. It's like, if we have to look, actually look at the charts, I'd be like, yep. It took the boy a sign off the child of the charts. In September two one, the song that never ends, never ends. I loved she and I remember to Snoopy, my sister had like a lamb chop like toiletree case

or something like little um. You know, she knew like lamb chop like was on the same level as like Sesame Street and like even like just in terms of like the Muppets, like puppeteering and stuff, right, like it was just like it wasn't the Puppets. It was the performance. Yeah, Like I always loved it, and she was always like she was just her one woman show, moving both her hands. All she she all she needed was a camera and a sock, and that woman could win an Emmy. And

that's what it was for me. And it was okay wait yep, I know. And she's stunning. Yeah, she was giving you mainstream Reba. Look, she was giving you that red hair mama. And the young girls that were on her hand, we're often little lambs. Now, what was it about the death that like opened up? Was it that you were in such grief that you were like, oh,

I care so much about this person. Yeah. I think the thing about the death was that, like you know, everything was like I think the one thing why why Lucille Ball, why she couldn't be it for me, which is I'm sure true regretting her own life would be here now because it really was Lucy Cherie. She's just she's going back and forth right now, and I can hear her. I can hear I can see her looking at me right now. Rolling. We can hear you, Lucy, we can Lucille. We know, I know and she uh.

The thing that did it was that I knew she was already dead, so I just I couldn't form a connection with her, um even though that she she truly like wanted I wanted to perform when I saw like Lucille Ball because like people were clapping and laughing, but it was Sherry Lewis that like I always felt like, oh I maybe I could meet her or something. And then when she died, I just felt this sadness which made me realize that I actually like loved her. Yeah,

this is here, can I posit something? It's like this kind of happened to me with this like um Chinese singer and like the first like like my first like moment of standing I can remember as a chop. But then this also happened again and let me know if I'm onto something. When Princess Die passed away, Oh my god, it was so much concentrated directed like love for one person that you realize as a kid that imprints on You're like, oh my god, I I love this woman.

I w an iconic female woman like for for a little cis gay boys like that like that is like a moment for us, right, We're like, oh my god, this is how like someone is worshiped in Sherry Lewis the original princess. Thank you. Actually it's a real culture and number thirty three Sherry Lewis as the original Princess. I also think with the thing that Princess Diane, maybe this is something to do with it too, with um famously a mother and a young like mother and knowing

that she was leaving behind children. And I also do think that there is something if you actually observe the women that you stand, see if there is some from childhood and from like development, See if there's something similar to them with your mother's Because I've actually thought about this. Kelly Clarkson is who I stand, and her personality is very similar to my mother's, with same kind of like I'm laughing and we're having a good time, But isn't

this great? And like I'm like, I don't you know whatever like that kind of whole thing of like, come on, I'm coming to my house, take your shoes off, that kind of thing, like what she's doing with her talk show right now. I knew she was capable of when she was years old on American Idol. I was like, that's a mom and I was like, I connect, no, in the best way, in the best way. I I completely agree with you because my mom has this everything is right and there's just one knob that's slightly off

that you're like, she is she's a little cookie. She's cookie. That's Sherry le Lewis, famously cookie and um and you know that's like also like all of the people that I like, really enjoy, they're super funny, they're very like vivacious and they're just a little cookie. Yeah, they have that cooke button absolutely and pushed. And it's when it's pushed. I want to say that my mom very like, very like selfless. And I gotta say that's Princess Die for you.

My mom is Princess Die. Your mom actually is Princess Diana, Diana of Wales. Well you know actually famously Princess Dianna. You know, she'd give to many charities and she found many land mines many and oh no, but honestly, like gay icon like was like like like was like kind of like reaching out to people with AIDS when like when only are the people who didn't it like Madonna, I don't know that's probably not actually accurate, but no, I mean she was she was like an AIDS icon

like like she really like did work. You know, I thought she was kind of done dirty by drag Race when not not in the way that Katia did her at all. Like I thought Katia was incredible, but like I don't think they gave didn't give her moment like where was the big wedding dress? Like she was wearing a wedding dress, but where was the iconic train? Where was? Like I mean, like there were so many more funny jokes to make about Princess Diana. I thought that Katia

was done dirty by the atmosphere of that performance. Sure, sure, I mean you can't pick and I mean not all rusical parts are created equal as we know, yes they are. And also we have a RuPaul's guest guest. We have a RuPaul's Drag Race guest judge, and not only guest judge, but also helped with the Corio, helped with I really didn't. They said they asked me to help with the Corea,

but it was I was with Travis. Motherfucker. Yeah. I remember watching it and I was like, I think Travis might be doing most of this, yeah, And I was just kind of there and I'm just sort of like, yeah, yeah, I mean, of course, yeah, Travis. She took the words right out of my mouth exactly. My favorite thing is they're like, Okay, Adam, can you like repeat the Korea with Travis? And I'm like, oh no, and I'm like I cannot, I can't. I don't know what he just did.

And they're like they're like, now, go up to the queens and ask them if they're really struggling with it. I'm like, I'm really struggling with it. I mean I was failing. If I were a queen, I would have been voted off. Oh my god, I mean how long were you in that? Were you like in the room with them, like for for two hours but still an hour team because there was like two teams there, but Travis was there all night. He's no joke. No he's not. He's not joking. No. Is he a friend of yours?

He is. Yeah, And he's brilliant. I mean he's just he's brilliant. Like I met him a few years ago and he's just I mean, he's so, he's so, he's so smart. He is like what he puts out is genius. But it's funny, like when you go into like a situation like that, you really have to like you have to make it look like you're not making something for the least common denominator, and you have to make everybody look like a fucking star or they will look like

a disaster and you'll look like a mess. Like it'll it'll just look like your stuff isn't getting put out there correctly. Sure, sure, sure, I have to say. It's also one of the reasons why I to this that not only do I respect Toddrick's um music and how the Bitch always puts together a musical movie video with a strong theme, but also his drag race sort of moments that he creates are always the best. They're always so great. Chadwick is amazing. He is amazing, well because

he's drag you know, he's he is dragged. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah, now he is now Adam, would you would you put Sherry's death? Don't to go back to this, but okay, was okay, Well, this is my graceless pivot into talking about your Quimby show. This is this dan useless celebrity hits. And this is how I always saw it, you know, and this is coming from a death August. I will say you were right about the date you said, August nine, and she did

die on August second. I mean I remember I remember coming in like on the news and my mom being like Sherry Lewis has said, and she's like making Hamburger helper in the background. I'm like, you're gonna be so so she was family, Kelly. She was family to us. Dare you? How dare? And that's when I collected all of my things. I think lamb Chop was also. I I will get to my Quimby show, I promise you.

But when I was five, I um became ill. I had my appendix taken out, and I remember, like, lamb Chop is in my mind because I threw up on my Lamb Chop pillow. They eventually was one of the only things they let me take into the operating room. So lamp like, that's it's trauma. It's trauma. Trauma. It

never leaves you well. Beauty grows from trauma. And I think that's why, truly, Sherry Lewis is when I knew the culture was for me, that's beaut Okay, So you can really like pinpoint it to that and explain why, like that's that's huge, good for you. And also, puppet culture is comedy culture because I'll say this, like Sesame Street did what it needed to do and it continues to do what it needs to do, and the Muppets did what they needed to do, and that was that

was some of the best sketch comedy. Yes, it was that you could get Muppets show tonight. I'm snapping. Yeah, they didn't give that. They didn't give the ABC show a shot, a fair shot, the one that was out like a few years ago. Everything Muppets that comes out now, I feel like no one takes seriously, and I'm like, you got us have to take this seriously. It's like this is the Muppets are. Muppets are for all time, but some some sometimes they try stuff out and you're like, Okay,

let's see how this. Guys. Remember when they unveiled a potential new love interest for Kermi, which was that pig with a more like with a wider face and wide, wider set eyes and like kind of more like borish said no, she like more of like aish No, like more of a seductress pig more so than Miss Piggy.

And you're like, this is going to be an iconic muppet And then they never really gave this muppet a shot, this new pig well, because I actually have to say, I think that's a good idea, because what you don't do is what you you don't funk with Miss Piggy because then because then I'll tell you what happens, Miss Piggy will start with her diva antics and you know that Miss Piggy is the number one diva And the next thing that might happen and you really don't want

this to go down is you don't want Miss Piggy to say because she iconically says hi and by the way, a that is funny every time, and be I mean, she's gonna hit you. You know what, you know what the best part of you she's gonna she's gonna hit you. She's gonna hit you. The best part of Meppet Christmas Carol is when Scrooge Christmas Morning at the end goes to um Marley's house and then Ms Piggy is trying to tell off Scrooge and yes and leave it, and

and then when Miss Peggy said that you leave. Yeah, no, she is too good. Mr. You know that the best Christmas album of all time is The Muppets sing with John Denver. Oh pretty, I don't, I don't, I'm not familiar, don't know what I have the compact disc I could send you. John Denver was also culture and also talk about another tragic death not I know, so, I I'm so sorry that. I mean, it was truly it was truly me that said so, I'm got so much of that.

Oh my god, I didn't even know he was sick. No, no, no, he died in a plane crash and it wasn't that. Yeah, And the nine years ago, let me look this up in the nineties are in the eighties ended up me being looking up celebrity deaths. And I gotta say, it's always good to have knowledge, all right. So John Denver on October twelfth, and it was his plane crashed in Monterey Bay near Pacific Grove, California. Yeah, so there it was a failure to refuel and then a subsequent loss

of control. And that's that's just I gotta say, No celebrities should be getting in small planes and getting going up there. I don't think it ends well, you couldn't pay me to get in one of those small planes. Unfortunately, yeah, unfortunately. Now. I mean even even Harrison Ford almost had a close call. It's too scary. I mean, even when you're flying in a huge plane and you feel like it's I know that I hate turbulence. Not I'm like a drunk flyer.

I I always need a drink, yes, yes, yes, well I actually like it's it's kind of crazy, but it's

the only time I drink. I p A s because they make me so tired, because they're so heavy and they're so hoppy, I really will pass out, like and I don't thank God for my early twenties when I thought when I was trying to be on Tinder and be like I like I p A s because I saw like other like gays putting them on their dating profiles and so I was always going out with guys and drinking I p s and like getting drunk with them.

It was real. It really was my brand at the time, like Tinder gay, trying to be a little bit like Masky. I had a bite friend that was like drunk I p s and was was that way to attracted you to him? Was that one of the things that attracted him? Yeah, there was a quality actually looked for. Wow, a personality trade. Um, do you have I P A s? Um, do you drink I p s? What are do you have a boyfriend? Now? I do? Yeah? And is this serious? It is serious.

We've been together for like two and a half years. So here during the Olympics. We were talking during the Olympics. Another reason why I like we so okay. So I was at a competition in Finland earlier um in well like later in seen. So in October of seventeen, I was on Tinder obviously, as you can tell, focused um, focus on the quote unquote trade when you said work, when you said before that you were focused on your trade.

I was like, I wonder if he means trade or trade as a Yeah, I meanted in like the Royal trade the Royals. Yeah, um, so I was on Tinder. We match never met and then I left. Um, then I guess a week later, like he was just he was just super engaging and really cute and just and he's gorgeous. So we were just talking back and forth and then we started talking like every day, and so we talked and never sent a nude, which I thought was a red flag at first, um, because I was

thinking something's got to be uh something. Um. But we talked back and forth and would send each other like long like video messages because we never like sync up are like time change. But I was like, I'm never going to meet him. But I think because of that, it was like so open about everything with him. So he did that for like seven months before he flew to l A and we met. And then that was like two and a half years ago, so he was he was living in Finland before that. He still is

so late. He's quarantined like in Europe. Yeah, so I I don't know when he'll be able to come back. Which that's that's that's rough. I'm sorry that's happening, are you now? I have to get over the death of John Denver. So I obviously distract. That's that's really what I was doing, is I was going to throw you another trauma to kind of throw you off the scent. Yeah. Absolutely, I'm just sort of like, okay, sure are you? Are

you here in Los Angeles during the core? I am in New York famously, Yeah, famously it was a gorgeously gorgeous day here today. Um And and then it just like disarms your It just just disarms you because I'm like, I'm like, oh, this is this is kind of manageable for a little longer, but like it's not. No, it's not. I go my my mood um changes violently. Yeah, I'm sometimes the higher than I've ever been and then lower than I ever thought I would go. I'm like, it's

it's so wild with this does to your mind. Yeah. My boyfriend found me weeping in the next room. He's like, what's you like dropped everything and come to me, because like every eight days I have like the worst day of my life. And then like and then I really convinced myself I'm fine for like the seven days leading up and so like I'm just trying to like fill my what is the bullshit you're filling your time with right now. Um. So I had never seen how to

get Away with Murder? So I watched all of that great camp What that's a revelation. First of all, this isn't I mean, this could have been my like my rant, but I won't be I'll think of something else. Shonda Rhymes. Stop making characters that I fall in love with for three seasons and then realized that they're the problem. Yeah, oh, Viola. First of all, I have a big problem, Viola Davis, all of this drama happening in Philadelphia, go to a

real city. As someone who lived in the Philadelphia suburbs and famously took great hound busses to and from Scranton to Philly. That ship was not going on. Viola Davis, analyze Keating get it together. They truly get it together. Miss Annalye also not for nothing, but she was someone that we should be looking up to. She famously said, why is your penis on a dead girl's phone? And that is an iconic line which does not get the credit. And it's going to be a rule of culture number

forty six, why penis girls does not get there? And that's that's a rule of culture. And also just the way that her character is introduced when she's writing in Shock, the name of her class, how to get Away with Hills running down my neck startling. It is see Viola Davis carry Washington Obviously, like any real American, I would

take a bullet for either of them. And there's a moment in how to get Away with Murder where like Carrie Washington is in a scene I actually, I think because it's in Quarantine, I I felt tears welling because I was like, and I remember thinking I also had been drinking like the whole day. It's probably it was probably like two thirty in the afternoon. I've been drinking, you know, drinking all day. Um, And I remember thinking,

how lucky am I? But we get this crossover like the talent in one Room, and I just kept thinking all of these things that going through my mind. I was like Anally's keating is she's acting like the protege of of Carrie Washington right now in the juxtaposition of that, and then like you have that moment outside my body and I'm like, you need water, Yeah, I think we need to Actually you need a glass of sucking. You need to drink water because you don't know these fake women. Yeah,

Olivia Pope was big for me too. I loved her boldness and dressing in all white all the time and drinking her red wine. Huge comically huge glasses that didn't get enough attention. They're very her glasses are very from Peer one. Everything in her home starter starter starter glass set, starter set. But here's my thing with Shanda. We talked about Shanda. We do all the time, not even not we're just we just talked about Shanda and she comes up. But this is my thing you guys are talking about.

Like the way Viola Days character gets introduced, she's writing the damn title of the show on a chalkboard. It's like Shanda did not used to be this. Shanda used to write like when Grays first started. Like the thing that I loved about Grays was, oh, this is just perfect. This is just Ali mcbeel. But surgeons where it's like sexy, like little quips like not actually melodrama. And now any Shonda Rhyme show, it's like like a meteor's hit the hospital.

It's like or whatever. It's like so like there too quickly and exactly exactly as soon as Denny as soon as Denny died and at the end of season two of Grays, that's Shawanda like got it into her hat. I don't know I'm speaking for her, but it's like she got it in her head that this is what the people want. They want like these in sane, unbelievable circumstances. And I feel like I missed the old Shanda, which

was like grounded, funny, like charming. I don't know, see, I feel like when Shonda would pop off is in the dialogue and that's what I love. And the set pc nature of the episodes now where it's it's like there's a lion loosen. It's like, oh no, like you know what I mean, Like I can't believe that that we're here, you know. And also what really lost me

was when they did the shooting episode. But actually the shooting episode had a great moment though, where remember when the shooter like points the gun to April Kepner and April's like, I have two brothers and I have my my father is a farmer. But like a great moment where she's like she just like starts to like spill personal details and then the shooter like I mean, they're they're still great moments of TV is what we call

trauma porn. Yes, irresponsible and bad. But don't you miss the episodes of grays In like season two when the whole the A story, the A story was Callie didn't wash her hands in front of Meredith and Izzy and that was the entire story and it was so funny, small and like the end of the episode is like Regina Spector song and George and Cally are talking to each other and Kelly's like, you have just stoomed up for me have to tell people I washed my hands,

like such such good writing. I don't know. I missed you a little those those I wasn't a Grays you have. You have a lot to catch up off because I didn't even watch Survivor either, which now I'm like afraid to get I'm afraid to get into it because I know I know I will. You actually should fear getting into it because because you won't turn back. And but it is fucking great. You will love it. And as someone who's competed on a reality show, I think you will love it. And sure, and I feel like you

would love the first two seasons of Grades too. I'm sure I would love Grays because I do. Like the thing is is that really Shonda Rhymes is a genius, you know. I mean fully, we're here being like, wait, wish Shana would they better? It's like we will. I would cut off my half working penis to have an ounce of the talent that that is. That is I'm with you. I mean, hello, it can leave me. I don't need it. I don't need the top half if

I can have full talent, because a full talent. But I think wait, didn't seek treatment to do a thing recently. Another podcast that Adam is on um didn't see treatment do something recently, where like Shonda Rymes is now Schilling is like in these pen commercials. Now, I'm sure she's suddenly on camera talent, but she's she's she's in these pen commercials being like like the marketing of scripts with like I I rely on this brand pen blah blah blah,

and then truly like and assisted No. But here's this is the beautiful part. I think. I think this is what happens. Some assistant knocks on her door and goes, Shanda, they're expecting that pilot by seven, And then she looks at her pen and goes, that won't be a problem, and then that won't be because I have this pen and only this pen. It's as easy as having an amazing pilot is as easy as having that pen. And you're talking about a woman who already makes hundreds of

millions of dollars. So it's like, what must the check have been? Like? Oh, you know, Big Pens has been fucking lining their pockets waiting for this moment. Yeah, what's your what's your dream endorsement? What's your dream or not? Yeah? Like what, you must have had some good ones. I've had some. I've had some good ones. Um fun. I did a commercial for Skittles once, which was very I love the skills commercial I really and obviously it came

with many Skittles um which that was fantastic. I think Skittles is probably the most fun I've done, Like Little One, I always do think um as a true influencer, I would only work with the brand I know and love I can stand behind. Well, So I did this one

thing I did. I did something with Nivia once and it was this like I did it with this football player Danny Amendola, who I love he always I think it's so funny because it's like he's he seems exactly like somebody who like wouldn't be friends with me, but he comments on all my Instagram posts. We're obsessed. We stand Danny am and Dolan and this. Yeah he's the hottest, absolutely one. Because you know, you want to say Tom Brady is hot, but then you stare at him too

long and you're like, I'm not sure. Yeah, yeah, no, you know, do it. Next time you see him, you go, he's really hot, and then you look at him a little bit and you're like busted. He looks yeah, yeah, absolutely, I'm gonna get I'm actually going to be a big fat pass on that one. Pass on Tom Brady or pass on us, not tom Brady. I passed just as a person bad. Yes, yeah, we're not advocating for him. We've actually passed. Wait before before we take one more

break and then do I don't think so, honey. I do want to ask quickly about Dancing with the Stars. Okay, were you ever in the position where you were like almost voted out? No, so you of like you sort of clear to the end. I did, and I yeah I did. It was really it was actually really hard. You still like we're exceptional the whole way through. That's amazing.

Oh my god, thank you so much, because I remember I don't actually I didn't actually watch show, but I watched all clips, Like I'm the kind of person that watches the clips of the voice. I don't like watch, I'm a clip. Watch, I'm a clip. I'm a clip. Can't commit and that's can commit to a clip. But quimby Girls, which is also something we have to talk about. Well, we have you here, while we have you here, wait, okay, no, just really quickly tell us what the show is about. Okay.

So it's it's this day and useless celebrity history. Yes, celebrity history. It's just called useless celebrity history basically. So we're on the we're on the Daily Essentials platform. The day the show comes out, will talk about something that happened on that day in useless celebrity history. So we talked about like met Galas stuff, we talked about you know, maybe like z Lohan having an album come out. It's

it's really fun. So I'll do a bunch of straight to camera stuff and then there's a skit in the middle, and it's a lot of fun. I love that. That's such a good premise. And let me tell you something. It's a quick bite. All you need is six minutes. All you need is six So when is that? When is that coming out? Is that coming out this week? May fourth? Four? So yeah, so May fourth is, and then we'll do We're gonna do like a sneak peek,

so we'll do the first ten episodes. We filmed a little bit here in my house just to kind of finish them up. But then we'll just um wait until we can get back into studio and and and continue shooting per We're looking forward to that, aren't we are? Monday? May fourth, honey? Alright, so we're going to take a short break and when we come back, we're going to I don't think so, honey, with the one, the Only Adam,

and we're actually back, Yes, you're actually back. Yeah. One of my favorite things is to be back because when I'm gone, I don't trust myself and and people often miss me. But we're back for I don't think so, honey. Wouldn't you say bowen? I would say that, And but just really quickly, I just want to make sure Adam was quoting the cup song. Just now I just want to that iconic culture. I pulled a lyric from the Cup Song. Now. I think the Cup Song is due

for a comeback. And I'm not even really being ironic about this. I feel like the Cup Song came and went. I mean, it did not deserve to let it go. Shelf life, Um, it did not quite have that. I feel like Cup Song was was was popping that one summer and then it just disappeared. I feel like cup songs should come back. A lot of a lot of memorable entry points and Cup Song I I support it.

What do you think, Matt Well? I have to say that as a Quimby girl, I have to publicly support Missanna because even though Missanna Kendrick and I have had our differences in the past, our differences mostly being I share a generally sentiment that the title of her autobiography is Scrappy Little Nobody, and that is not good. But she's a Quimby girl with like I support my Quimby sister and her show about having a friendship with a sex doll, and I think that everyone should go ahead

and check them out. I also don't think she was a stunning Cinderella and into the Woods. I love turn into the Woods. I lived for her and into the Woods. And let me tell you, I was kind of like, so, I'm kind of like similar with with Anna Kendrick that I am with Bryce Dallas Howard. Every time I see that Anna Kendrick is casting something, I'm like, okay, like I'm with Bryce. Stylis Ademore was like okay, And then I watch it and I'm like, yeah, that was good.

That pulled through in the end. Bryce Stallas Howard gets you with the choices, and Anna Kendrick, I feel, gets you with the proficiency. But but then Ana Kendrick will hit you with them belted, a belted final note of on the steps of the Palace, and we have to stand that and respect that one. We have to. I'm gonna have to stand and Happy birthday, Steve, and we know you're out there. I just want to say happy birthday you from listening Steve, thank you for listening to you.

Of course, Steven Sondheim is one of our biggest fans of Last Cultures, but he's written us many handwritten letters with actual He sometimes has critiques, but we are accept them and we say thank you. Stephen. Happy ninety of Steve. We really enjoyed the program celebrating your birthday. I hope you're well today, kiss um, but I haven't. I don't think so, honey. If if you don't mind, Bowen, I don't mind, and I am would be happy to time yours one second alright, So I don't think so, honey.

For everyone listening at home is our sixty second segment that we do. We rail against something in culture that we just don't like. And also, you know, you guys might be wondering, like when will be we be able to do a live I don't think so, honey, show again. We were supposed to do them for New York Pride, but look, guys, Pride is canceled in New York this year. The second we can go out and do live shows again. You know, that's the very first thing we're gonna want

to do. It really feels like such a moment in time now. Those shows, don't they I know I missed them very much. But we'll do We'll do more. We'll do more. We'll have to have Adam or pond on. Yes. If if she's okay, man, what do you think, bo I think I think it's time to go. I think it's time to do it. Okay, here we go. This is Matt Rodgers. I don't think so honey. As time starts now, I don't think so honey. Almond milk, you're not milk. First of all. You don't taste like milk,

and you're a nut and actually come from nuts. One thing I know about milk for sure is you come from a cow. I'm sorry, and I apologize to everyone who's gonna be sensitive about this. But I grew up in the house, so we drank two percent milk snowflakes. Put that in my cereal and filled it to the top. And I would have two kinds of cereal daily, Raisin brand and Honey nut Cheer. I would put two things in it, raisins, strawberries. Oh wait, no, I put a

third thing in it, two percent milk. Why because it's milk. I'm in milk. Your expiration dates are confusing to me. How can you be milk and stay for two months? I understand this. And if it's not staying and I'm drinking old almond milk, someone needs to tell me. Because it's not clear on the box, it's not clear in life. These almond milk. Almonds aren't even my favorite nuts. My favorite nuts are peanuts because I'm what normal, that's one minute. Wow,

we're really making some political statements here. And here's the thing. I have to go whenever I go into a coffee shop, I feel I'm gonna be judged if I want to drink regular milk because these girls in l A. It's taboo. You're being very dairy normative, You're being very peanut normative. I have to say, and um, and you called and you and you employed a um, right wing sort of

slur there by calling your people's snowflakes. I think what I did there was I employed a right wing slur and that was someone's employed and that was with full intention. And I'm really ready for Reddit, so truly made of filth. And this is all across all reds the last click. We actually don't have a Reddit, But any anyone that wants to come for me about this thing, please, And yes, I will continue to drink almond milk in an effort to not have as much dairy, but I'm not happy

about it. Nothing tastes the same, don't don't you dare try? Like the old saying goes nothing tastes as good as milk tastes. I think yeah. Kate said that. Kate Moss said that, Okay, now what happens after I do my I don't think so, Honey, is bow and Yang. It's customed for him to do his and that's the culture of this podcast and it has its own culture. And so now I would say it is time for Bowen Yang's I don't think so start that time now. I

don't think so, honey. Heterosexual people's close friends on Instagram, their close friends stories are not salacious. Whether it's like, you're not showing me nudes and you're not talking ship, so then why the hell are you posting a picture or of your zucchini bread for me to see? It's not you're you're you're drawing me in. You're coaxing me to see some content that I think might be cool and might be edgy and fun and feel personal to me. And and then and then I go, wait, why why

am I even on this? Close friends earned this and you have not earned the the platform for close friends? Does that make sense? Like it's all in bad faith on both sides. I don't trust straight people anymore than I used to before Close Friends picture. So I don't know there's a lot of good will to be made up straight people, especially since, um, you know, especially since now that we're all in this five crisis. I don't

have WiFi anymore. I'm only relying on five G. That's the real five G conspiracy that's happening in America right now. That might have something to do with Corona. Who knows where the jury still out? And that's that's That's one minute and quite a conspiracy theory there. That was a master class. It was really really good. And I actually have to say Bow and Yang has informed me that he is on the Close Friends of a heterosexual star, and I was very excited to find out that he

was included on the heterosexual stars Close Friends. It was very exciting. And it's a hot heterosexual star and we'll tell you afterwards who it is, Adam but Mary nude, not even a shirtless pick just just just you know. I'm too afraid to use Close Friends on and I don't have a fins to and I feel like I'm really missing out on both. I recommend the finsta. What do you put on it? I think you talk about people your screen grab your screen cabit text you got

from someone, You're like, what the funk are they talking about? Okay, it's a Reddit threat basically, It's essentially it's a Reddit friend for sex or seven or your closest friends. Honestly, the whole, the whole close friends thing is something I'm still navigating because as I get more and more sort of like stir crazy and co are I do? I did find myself being a slut on close friends the other day. I love it and look, it's beautiful. You gotta get your kicks because I've never because let me

tell you something, I don't know about you guys. Well I know about you Bowen, but I'm never being a whore on Maine. I'm never getting slutty on Maine. It's just not gonna happen. I've gotten slutty on Maine. It's fine. I've gotten a little slutty on Maine. Sometimes my boyfriend tells me I don't post enough like shirtless pictures, and I'm like, okay, wants to He's encouraging it. Yes, he is encouraging it because he knows that's what the people

respond to. Like whenever you post the thirst trap of yourself. It's sad but true. That is what gets the like, Yes, absolutely, and like I'll be posting like clips of game show. I'll be posting like pictures of the set and everything, and it's like ninety likes. Yeah. I mean I could have a picture of a newborn fucking baby on my thing and they're like show tain't. Yeah, it's dad's, dad's

It's crazy exactly. Yeah. The culture, the culture, spending out of control culture, it's time for I'm actually truly nervous, but I'll think I have an idea great this is I don't think so, honey. As time starts now, I don't think so, honey. The container store dot Com, oh bitch, I've been on you all fucking day for about forty five days now, and you know what, You're filled with b p A fucking bullshit, wow, fucking plastic shit all

over the place. And you know what, you fucking I drank the kool a bitch because I wanted all fucking in my house right now. You make me feel like I'm an unorganized slut, and then I need to have a fucking drawers and organizers fucking everywhere in my entire house. If I have to look at another fucking you know what, lazy Susan, get a job, bitch. I'm so fucking tired of looking at your damn clips that are fifteen dollars. That's not affordable, you know what? Fuck you the containers

to or dot com. It takes fourteen days to get something shipped to me. Now. I know we live in a crisis, but I want my fucking organizers here and I want to that's enough out of you, get me my ship immediately, by bitch. That's the container story. I just I got an alert on my phone that they're out of business. Out of business, and beautiful use of the phrase that's enough out of you, that's enough. I think it a few times even I think, well, that's

how you know. It's something that lives inside your heart. That's how you know it's that that's something that you should be saying, honestly in the dark place when you're measuring out how many different sized lazy Susan's can fit in one cupboard. Look, what is a lazy Susan Susan? Lazy Susan's are the things that you put on the counter that spin like Okay, that's what I thought that's what I thought. But but you guys are putting them in your in your shelves. You can put them in

your shelving in it's really cool. Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's actually stunning. You know. A lazy Susan. This is just a gift, a gift of some knowledge to all the readers. And it's a tip. Really, a lazy Susan is a wonderful housewarming gift and it's a it's a great gift really. I mean, if you have any idea what the sort of aesthetic of a friend's houses and you need to get them something, a lazy Susan is something that no one else would think of, and it's useful and they

and and then it gets displayed sometimes. I'm gonna paint a picture for you really quick. Think of all the cleaning supplies underneath your sink. It's a disaster down there. It's a rat's nest. Put down a lazy Susan. And yeah, and you can get those bottles in the back, that wasp killer that you have for every once a year when they make a nest on your patio out here. This is very l a culture. Okay, Yes, and I

bet you. You'll use more of your products that way too, because you won't be like, well I have to reach all the way back there and kind simply have an inventory. Absolutely, Another way you can use a lazy Susan, which is how I bought Greta a lazy Susan. I about Greta and A one and they use it to put their breakfast condiments out on the table and they spin. It's a great brunch thing. If you're having people, or if you're going somewhere for a brunch like a picnic, bringing

the lazy Susan out, you can do that. Um, the lazies Susan. You know, she's not too heavy. You know, she's a beautiful girl. So that ship comes in all to her. And kinds of colors. I have one that's marble, which wouldn't you know it matches my countertops. Again, but we we we cannot make the children forget that. Um container store is busted and they sell VP a nonsense. Absolutely, yeah, you are. You're gonna get sick. You're gonna get sick.

You're actually gonna get sick. You're actually gonna get sick. Now, I want to say something about this episode. I didn't get sick and much more well. I actually feel better now, m I did too. I bet people will not believe that this is the first well hashtag I mean quote unquote met, but this is the first time we have met. I know, I know, but I mean, I love you guys, so I think you're both so funny in your own right and I love you both so much on this podcast. So I'm a huge fan. I mean, we are a

huge fan of you. An American icon, an American hero and American icon, a queer icon, queer hero. We love you so much. You said it, And can you believe we didn't even touch on that damn Mike Pence, and you know he he doesn't deserve it. We didn't. We didn't touch on mr. And she does deserve it. She does, Yes,

absolutely she does. She does deserve it. Um what Pence is just a he's just so much He's just doesn't Does it feel good to be able to just say he's so fucking dumb now and not be like, Yes, I guess I would be open to a conversation with YEA, it's so good. It does feel so good. I mean, it feels so good not to like have Megan McCain to tell you that, like, you should be doing something different and not to get fucking heckled by the fucking Trump family. How do how does he not have How

has he not been infected? I don't understand. He's like teaching everything, He's around everyone. He is not careful. It's just one of those cruel twists of fate where of course that person who like is like defiant and encouraging defiance is not gonna reap any like he is Teflon. It is so annoying to watch. But the thing about Reese Witherspoon I just want to say is she is, first and foremost not an Academy Award winner, first and foremost not even a mother, not even a wife, not

even a producer. She's first and foremost a quimby girl. And she has a show, Fierce Queens, where you can watch Reese Witherspoon narrate an ant colony and how the women ripped the men to shreds Now. Favorite part of those episodes are when she she does the whole narration and it's beautiful, and then she goes back and they're like, and she and the aunt then is queen again and then they go back to students. She goes, wow, that's crazy.

Yeah she is. I love the way she interested. She goes, hey, hey, you guys, so today we're gonna literally watch an amazing video. She she is so like I love her, Like she was doing alive, like the day of the Quimby Lunch, she was doing Alive and she was like having all these conversation and people who were going to have quickly shows and she's like, you guys, right now it's going to be such an amazing day because we're having my

one of my best friends, Lena Wait. And I was like, you are not best friend to everyone in Hollywood, but she has suddenly become that Hollywood girl who is best friend with everyone. Like honestly, you can see her becoming an Oprah. She she's like a connector. She and she's so like, has she ever been on SNL when you know she hasn't she she was, she was She hosted when Sudy Sudi Sudi was hired as a Writer of the Year, I think after she hosted and she had

sent them all like gifts and stuff. And she's like, of course iconic in SNL because she hosted the episode Back from Mine. I love it. Yeah, she's an thank you you know I met I met her one time and we met on the some talk show and um she was there because it was in New York. So she was there doing press for like, what's that movie the House with the Walls and the clock is inside the walls? Yes, Home Home again the clock thank you? Was she in that I don't know, lying the Witch

in the wardrobe? There's a clock there? Oh no, no, no, she was in Wrinkland Time thank You. So she was doing Wrinkland Time press and um, I mean she was just like really just cheering me on during the Olympics. So she was So we got to meet and she she's like, I really have to go. And my brother went to the because my brother lives in Queens, so he came to the show. And I have a really good friend, um who who lives in Manhattan, and I

was like, come to the show. And so they were backstage and um Reese was like, I really have to go, but I want to meet your family, and so I I went out and I was like it was with Stephen Colbert. So I was out with Colbert and she went and she was like I want to meet Adam's family. So it was my brother and my friend and her security comes up and they're like, you know, we're just here to see Adam's family. And he's like, Sarah, come on, and he's like, are you family? And my brother turns

to my my best friend who's with him. He goes, this is my sister and grabs her and they go down and Reece was just like, it's so nice to meet you. She was. She's everything you want her to be, honestly, and and the thing is like, I do want her to be a lot, and I still believe she's all of that and more. I exactly, and also like I just enjoy her work so much. Big Little Lies to me was like so good and she was the best part of it. And with that standing, we have to

wrap up the episode. But Adam Rippond, thank you so much for me than so fun. The pleasure was all mine. You guys are fantastic. From one Quimby Girl to another. From one Quimpy Girl girls, we have to have you back on in person at some point. Yeah, we've been saying like that's the kind of that's the thing that sucks about doing all these at home episodes as we get to book all these cool guests and then we don't get to hang out with them. So one day soon,
