[03:00–04:10]

• Matt and Bowen share their appreciation for Provincetown, a quintessential queer haven.
  • They recall presenting WomenCrafts Provincetown with the Jamie Lee Curtis Award for gusto, enthusiasm, and individuality.

    “Michelle got on the megaphone for the daily Queer Moment of joy. Moment of queer joy.” – Matt, [03:44]

• Discussion of grown-up bingo culture, the messiness of bingo markers, and communal acceptance.
  • “If you’re a bingo person...trust and believe there's a bin full of bingo markers.” – Matt, [04:31]

2. The Hunting Wives: Review & Camp Commentary

[05:03–25:00]

Show Introduction & Cultural Position

• The hosts watched all of The Hunting Wives during their Provincetown stay, initially with low expectations but ultimately entertained.
  • “I call it Right wing Big Little Lies.” – Bowen, [06:06]
  • “It is sort of pushing forward this new market for like, red state content... that’s just the reality we’re living in.” – Matt, [06:13]
• Described as both overtly queer and guns-heavy:
  • “It was also giving queer rights—almost every other scene was box eating.” – Bowen, [06:26]

Britney Snow Fan Club

• Extensive admiration for Britney Snow’s career and gay cultural appeal:
  • “Britney Snow, you will always be famous.” – Bowen, [06:43]
  • “[On American Dreams]...That girl’s a star.” – Matt, [07:22]
  • Co-hosts riff on "snow bunny" nicknames: snow queen, snow addict, etc. ([08:01])
  • Matt reveals Britney Snow voices a key character in Kingdom Hearts—linking her to broader queer/gamer culture ([08:19–09:08]).

    “Gay guys create culture. And we’re in Provincetown and we’re gonna start saying it. We’re not gonna stop saying it.” – Bowen, [09:08]

Malin Akerman & Cast Shoutouts

• Renewed appreciation for Malin Akerman’s oeuvre (The Comeback, 27 Dresses, Watchmen, etc.).
  • “We’ve been having a big Malin Ackerman moment these past couple days watching her.” – Bowen, [11:44]
• Praises for supporting cast: Jamie Ray Newman (“She won the show.” – Matt, [23:30]), Katie Lowes, Dermot, Michael Aaron Milligan, Chrissy Metz, etc.

The Show's Wild Tone: Wigs, Sex, Accents

• “The wigs are out of control.” [12:17]
• Highlighting the show’s camp, soapy, and often grisly violence—plus sexual explicitness:
  • “There’s a pegging moment…and then a really grounded intimacy because…like there’s an orgasm, a male org—a penis orgasm…” – Matt, [20:37]
    • Followed by playfully analyzing the Foley work/sound design of the pegging scene ([21:32]).
• Performances often outpace the script—accents are “optional” and “up to you” ([13:43–14:09]).
• Speculation about the number of child actors used for Britney Snow’s son (Olsen twins style), giving rise to campy, “what is real” energy.

Thematic Ambiguity: Gun Rights v. Queer Rights

• The show’s politics are a Rorschach test:
  • “I can’t tell if the show was like, should everyone have a gun? Or is it bad that everyone has a gun?” – Bowen, [25:21]
  • “It’s equal parts queer rights and also gun rights. It’s second amendment and also Obergefell.” – Matt, [25:48]

    “It really does kind of—it’s a Rorschach test best to the audience.” – Bowen, [25:36]

• The hosts describe Hunting Wives as campy escapism in the Desperate Housewives tradition ([15:04–15:28]).

Notable Quotes

• “It’s one of those shows where you’re like, certainly we’re not gonna watch that graphic of a sex scene. Or we’re not going to see someone die that brutally…Whoa! This is the number one show in the world.” – Bowen, [12:43]
• “It is my kind of program. It is made for us.” – Matt, [57:54]

---

3. Pop Culture Sidebar: And Just Like That Finale

[30:22–36:56]

• Bowen discusses the finale, expressing discomfort at the show’s treatment of trans/nonbinary character Epcot (“...the attitude around trans people on the show is, is interesting...I wouldn’t even call it interesting. I call it baldly negative and didn’t love that.” – Bowen, [31:01])
• Puzzlement and disappointment at the infamous “poop nugget” scene:

  “One of the last things we see in all of Sex and the City... is poop nuggets float up through the toilet, overflow the bowl, and Miranda ends up on her hands and knees and she says, ‘What is my life?’ And I had the same question.” – Bowen, [32:38]

• Hosts debate differences in camp sensibility: why Hunting Wives succeeds where And Just Like That fails ([32:59–33:39]).

---

4. Music & Culture Roundup

[41:20–53:00]

Demi Lovato News

• Matt and Bowen tease new music from Demi Lovato, whom they adore (“We’ve heard what we can only describe as true bops. We’ve heard six songs, and they are all truly sublime.” – Bowen, [42:31]). She’s slated to appear on a future episode ([42:36]).

Lana/ Ethel Cain Drama

• Brief on the Lana Del Rey/Ethel Cain feud (Lana’s “track 13” diss, Nicki Minaj’s alliances).
• Tribute to Ethel Cain’s Zelda fandom:
  • “She’s got an unboxing video that I watch all the time as ASMR.” – Matt, [47:54]

Zelda Movie Musings

• Upcoming Zelda film: young actors cast, tone speculation: “The Zelda games are really about, like, for lack of a better word, vibes.” – Matt, [49:18]

Taylor Swift Hype (and Humbling)

• Bowen describes hyping up a “countdown” on Taylor’s site, only for it to be a “vinyl pressing,” not new music—shared disappointment:
  • “I do feel like people are so fucking annoying about Taylor Swift. Like, okay, you don’t like it, shut the fuck up. And I was just like, I’m gonna enjoy this.” – Bowen, [52:19]
• Both reflect on the politics of being excited for mainstream pop and not shaming others for their passions ([54:30–56:36]).

---

5. Culture Games & Iconic Moments

[66:34–72:44]

I Don’t Think So, Honey

• Matt: “I don’t think so, honey: rum punch” – over-sugary vacation drinks ([66:43])
• Bowen: “I don’t think so, honey: bingo” – never winning, stressful hosts, “You’re a dog, not a game.” ([68:44])

  • “When you see those wigs...you can’t get higher than a 60 [on Metacritic].” ([57:09–57:16])
• Show closes with a song riff, more joyful praise for Britney Snow, Malin Akerman, Demi Lovato, and even a little more Wicked chat.
  • “You needn’t root for Britney Snow because she’s winning.” – Bowen, [68:14]

---

Selected Memorable Quotes (with Timestamps)

• “Gay guys create culture. And we’re in Provincetown and we’re gonna start saying it. We’re not gonna stop saying it. If you’re a gay guy, congratulations. Stand up. If you’re a gay guy right now, stand up.” – Bowen, [09:08]

Final Thoughts

Matt and Bowen deliver a breezy, hilarious, and camp-immersed hour from Provincetown, turning The Hunting Wives into queer canon, celebrating pop icons (hi, Britney Snow!), critiquing TV fumbles, and exalting in the silly and surreal highs (and lows) of contemporary culture. Their signature blend—equal parts affection and shade—makes for an episode that captures a joyful, communal, and thoroughly queer approach to pop commentary.

Yeah, I mean, if you want to get into some touchscreen technology, how about the smart charging case? Clear sound. These are not standard things. You're only going to get them with the JBL Tour Pro 3, baby.

[Matt Rogers]

And I love the sound of JBL when it goes. These earbuds are packed with innovation because you can't stand out by following others.

Now that Digiorno has new Wood fired style crust pizzas, I might start doing the show from home. Digiorno is dropping a new new crust and four topping varieties. Premium Pepperoni Supreme Speciale, Italian Meat Trio and four Cheese. I'll have all four. You've never had pizza like this at home. It's restaurant quality pizza without all the other restaurant stuff. The new Digiorno Wood Fired style crust pizza. It's not delivery, it's Digiorno.

[Bowen Yang]

In theaters everywhere August 29th. Get tickets now. Look, man.

[Matt Rogers]

Where?

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, I see my eye. Oh, my. Bowen, look over there.

[Matt Rogers]

Wow.

[Bowen Yang]

Is that culture?

[Matt Rogers]

Yes. Goodness.

[Bowen Yang]

Ding dong. Las culturistas calling. Welcome to Provincetown, everyone.

[Matt Rogers]

We're gonna see you there. Interesting.

[Bowen Yang]

No one has come up to us and sang that. Does that mean it didn't stand the test of time?

[Matt Rogers]

Look, we're gonna keep coming back until it catches on tourism board. You don't have to pay us a red cent.

[Bowen Yang]

All I know is we'll be here a couple days after this comes out. If no one comes up to us and sings Provincetown. We're gonna see you there. We'll just know that we're not accepted here.

[Matt Rogers]

This is the thing. I don't need to be embraced accepted by anyone but me.

[Bowen Yang]

But the fact is we have been embraced by the community. We just had a wonderful time. Oh, we went down to women crafts Provincetown. We presented them with the award for the Jamie Lee Curtis Award for gusto, enthusiasm and individuality. It was a wonderful moment.

[Matt Rogers]

Michelle got on the megaphone for the daily Queer Moment of joy. Moment of queer joy.

[Bowen Yang]

12:34Pm every day.

[Matt Rogers]

And we were very, very honored to present her the award. And of course, we stopped into the shop and, God, it was just a really beautiful experience. And then we had a lovely time at the Crown and Anchor. Played bingo with Paige Turner. Hosted by Paige Turner.

[Bowen Yang]

Didn't win Bingo.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. What's that about? Actually, my honor thinks no hunting later.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what I do like, and this is something I didn't really know in culture until we went last year somewhere where we played bingo.

[Matt Rogers]

The bingo markers.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, I like the bingo marker.

[Matt Rogers]

Totally.

[Bowen Yang]

I like that. And do people really just own bingo markers to have when they play bingo? If you're a bingo person.

[Matt Rogers]

If you're a bingo person, if you are finding yourself at, let's say, communities that embrace the mature set, trust and believe there's a bin full of bingo markers. But, you know, did you ever have this growing up?

[Bowen Yang]

Look at my hands.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah, it's got.

[Bowen Yang]

I can't do anything. You have it all over you too. Look at your forearms.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah, there you go.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay, we're covered in bingo.

[Matt Rogers]

We've got evidence of the crime.

[Bowen Yang]

Evidence of the craft.

[Matt Rogers]

Of the craft. Women crafts. We'll get to the evidence of the crime later because this forewarning will be an episode about the originally stars show turned Netflix mega hit the Hunting Wives.

[Bowen Yang]

We have watched all of the Hunting Wives on this provincetown journey because, you know, you go on vacation with your friends, you pick something to watch. We started Hunting Wives not. And I. I had said on the. On a previous episode, I did the first episode.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes, I had no interest. And I had no interest.

[Bowen Yang]

But then, honestly, it's a mess. I enjoyed it.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't regret watching it. I'm still gonna sit with like, the camp value of it. Obviously, it's a camp. It's high nutrition value for camp. As for the other macros, I'm not sure.

[Bowen Yang]

What do you mean by that?

[Matt Rogers]

As for. I don't know. I just. We were just finding ourselves, like. But wait a minute. If this person is this person and their dad was this. But the mom was that. It was that kind of thing. But that's not what the point of the show is.

[Bowen Yang]

And I call it Right wing Big Little Lies.

[Matt Rogers]

It's Red State. Big Little Lies.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, sort of.

[Matt Rogers]

It is sort of pushing forward this new market for like, red state content, which, you know, is just. That's just the reality we're living in.

[Bowen Yang]

It was kind of giving, like.

[Matt Rogers]

But it was, if you have a.

[Bowen Yang]

Gun, you'll be okay. But it was also giving queer rights. Like, almost every other scene was box. Eating is eating box. And I have to say, let's just. Okay, we're getting into it. This is officially the Hunting Wives portion of the show.

[Matt Rogers]

Begin. Begin.

[Bowen Yang]

Britney Snow, you will always be famous. Wait, can I say, like, in a real way, Britney Snow tour. I love Brady Snow.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, we've loved her since the beginning.

[Bowen Yang]

Can we talk about this? Like, did you remember, like, did they do, like, back in the day when it was like, American Dreams? Remember back. Remember American Dreams?

[Matt Rogers]

Of course I remember American Dreams. Mandy Moore also. Whoa, Vehicle.

[Bowen Yang]

Was it actually. No, no. American Dreams was a movie.

[Matt Rogers]

Mandy Moore was in American Dreams.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, I'm talking about American Dreams, the TV show that Britney Snow was in.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, I'm sorry. Then we can. We can't take this out. That's okay. But we're both right, in a way.

[Bowen Yang]

In a way, both, right? American Dreams was Amandi Moore, but American Dreams was Britney Snow's, like, first thing when she was, I believe, a teen. I said, I know that girl's star.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

I've waited in the Wings for Britney to snow to get this, you know?

[Matt Rogers]

Well, of course. I mean, she's not new to this. She's true to this. You didn't know from John Tucker must die.

[Bowen Yang]

I always knew from X.

[Matt Rogers]

Lest we forget Pitch Perfect.

[Bowen Yang]

And I'm not. I'm. I'm on record as not necessarily being a Pitch Perfect superfan.

[Matt Rogers]

Interesting.

[Bowen Yang]

But I think that had to do with other things other than. It certainly had to do with other things other than Britney Snow.

[Matt Rogers]

Totally.

[Bowen Yang]

I am a Britney snow fan.

[Matt Rogers]

We are snorting up the snow that is Brittany.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm a snow addict.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm a snow addict.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm a snow bunny.

[Matt Rogers]

Snow queen for Britney. I'm a Snow Bunny for Ms. Brittany and for all my Kingdom Hearts heads.

[Bowen Yang]

Stop. Is she. Is she also involved in Kingdom Hearts?

[Matt Rogers]

I've told you this.

[Bowen Yang]

No, but I forget.

[Matt Rogers]

She's Nominee and she is Hayden Panettiere's counterpart. Whoa.

[Bowen Yang]

I get that for them.

[Matt Rogers]

So. So, Kyrie, Hayden Panettiere's character. Spoiler alert. Gets turned into a heartless in the first game, which means that her heart is corrupted by maleficent holy. Anytime a heartless is created into the world, a nobody gets left behind, which is the body. The husk that's gone gets left behind. When the heart is extracted and turned into a dark being, Ky returns back to herself.

[Bowen Yang]

My God.

[Matt Rogers]

But Nominee was created in the process. And Nominee is voiced by Britney Snow. And guess what? She draws. She's an illustrator. And Nominee is huge in the lore for her and for her. That casting director. Can we just. The casting director of Kingdom Hearts the series is. Was a gay man. We have to. We have to.

[Bowen Yang]

Gay guys create culture. And we're in Provincetown and we're gonna start saying it. We're not gonna stop saying it. If you're a gay guy, congratulations. Stand up. If you're a gay guy right now. Stand up.

[Matt Rogers]

If you're driving in your car and you're a gay man, stand up in.

[Bowen Yang]

The car to the side of the road. You created culture.

[Matt Rogers]

I mean, I. I will keep telling you. It's. It's Hayden Panettiere. It's Britney Snow. It's Haley Joel osment. It's Jesse McCartney.

[Bowen Yang]

Wow. Wasn't there someone else?

[Matt Rogers]

Huge. Billy Zane.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, Billy Zane is huge. Mandy Moore. Not Jonathan Bailey.

[Matt Rogers]

Not Jonathan Bailey.

[Bowen Yang]

That was a different one.

[Matt Rogers]

Jonathan Bailey's Final Fantasy 14, but also a Square Enix game. But. And then also.

[Bowen Yang]

Hey, you guys made that too.

[Matt Rogers]

Lance Bass as Sephiroth.

[Bowen Yang]

Of course. Oh, Lance Bass.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm telling you, this is something I'll.

[Bowen Yang]

Never forget in terms of words together. I'll never forget Lance Bass. Bass. A Sephiroth. You know, I've met Britney Snow.

[Matt Rogers]

She doesn't remember this, but you guys met at a very queer place.

[Bowen Yang]

We met. See, this is how I knew the Hunting Wives was going to eventually one day become a thing. I met Britney Snow in passing at a Muna concert at the Greek. And I was on a date with America's Got Talent contestant Benjamin. Captain Benjamin Hightower.

[Matt Rogers]

Benjamin. Benjamin Hightower. But you. So when you met her at Muna concert.

[Bowen Yang]

Yep.

[Matt Rogers]

Sometimes through friends, you. You had a thought pop up in your mind where you said, I know hunting wise is going to be.

[Bowen Yang]

All I knew was I was like, she's at Muna. That rocks. And she was surrounded by lesbian women.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

And I was like, okay, love this. And I remember I walked away. I was excited to be on a date with such a handsome man. And we walked away. And I was trying to embarrass him. Low key.

[Matt Rogers]

Nothing better than being on a date with.

[Bowen Yang]

Nothing better. And he goes, I think that was Britney Snow. And I go, no, it was Britney Snow. And we went back to our. Our chairs at the Muna concert. Do you know who we sat in front of?

[Matt Rogers]

Cher?

[Bowen Yang]

No. Later on, years later, my vocal coach, Doug Pack, who helped us at the Culture Awards. So that was a big night. And they performed since youe've Been Gone. Muna covered since youe've Been Gone. Britney Snow was there. I was on a date with Captain Benjamin Hightower, who sang Pink Pony Club on America's Got Talent. Years later, we were in front of Doug Peck, who helped us sing the songs at the Culture Awards. This was a movement, not a moment. That was one of those nights.

[Matt Rogers]

Where do you think Malin Ackerman was that night? Malin Ackerman, also star of Huntingwide.

[Bowen Yang]

I think she was somewhere getting ready.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Can we say we've been having a big Malin Ackerman moment over these past couple days watching her, because you reach back into your mind, into the annals of your mind, and you realize how much Melan Ackerman has been there.

[Matt Rogers]

Absolutely.

[Bowen Yang]

She was the Comeback. She was Juna.

[Matt Rogers]

She was Juna in the Comeback.

[Bowen Yang]

She was Baby Girl.

[Matt Rogers]

She was Katherine Heigl's sister in 27 dresses.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes, she was.

[Matt Rogers]

You loved her in that silk specter too. Watchmen. Of course. Just an icon. An icon.

[Bowen Yang]

I. So to talk about the show, it's one of the craziest shows in American History.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

The wigs are out of control.

[Matt Rogers]

I'll say it. The wardrobe, the production design. I'm going to say cinematography and I'm going to give it up for the vfx. Some of those, some of the gruesome moments had to have been vfx.

[Bowen Yang]

And it's so gruesome.

[Matt Rogers]

It's gruesome.

[Bowen Yang]

Can I say it's one of those things where you're like watching the show and you're like, oh, no, certainly we're not going to watch that graphic of a sex scene or we're not going to see someone die that brutally. Whoa. This is the number one show in the world.

[Matt Rogers]

Right. Currently, that is something else. And then it's Wednesday.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, sure, sure, sure.

[Matt Rogers]

Anyway, it took and it was holding the top spot for a minute.

[Bowen Yang]

But we're joining the Hunting Wives thing like a little.

[Matt Rogers]

A little bit late. But I think we needed it to simmer, I think. And I mean, it's still simmering. We just finished it this morning.

[Bowen Yang]

I loved it.

[Matt Rogers]

I loved it. Great performances all around. Chrissy Metz. New discoveries for me.

[Bowen Yang]

Can I say something and consider this a spoiler alert? I can't believe they did Chrissy Metz like that.

[Matt Rogers]

An Emmy nominated actress and the way her character sort of develops throughout the season is just so tough because it's like, well, you did her like that. You know what I mean?

[Bowen Yang]

I also love that this goes for everyone involved. The accent is like up to you. You know what I mean? It's like it's up to you. If you want to do the Texas accent.

[Matt Rogers]

Do you think every take was let's do a fun run. Let's just do one for fun.

[Bowen Yang]

I was like, let's do one for fun and just pretend you know what the accent is. And we're not saying this about anyone in particular. We're just saying like across the board, like, the accent seemed like it was optional.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

And that did mean halfway through a take, you could just jump in or out of it.

[Matt Rogers]

And I kind of loved. My theory is there is a character who is Britney Snow's child. And I think it was a test for the audience to see. Like, can you tell that we're Olsen twinning this? Like we're swapping this out for a different child actor every single time he's on screen. But I don't know, maybe we're coulda.

[Bowen Yang]

And you know what? It was enough of a thing where I was like, is Bowen right? Like, is that a different person?

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, I think I'm right. I'M not gonna go back and do any digging on this. I, I just, whatever. When you know, you know, and we know that Hunting Wives was a cultural.

[Bowen Yang]

Event, I don't think I will watch it again. But definitely several people we were with on this trip, this was the second or third time they've watched it. They were like, no, no, I'll watch it again. To watch you guys watch.

[Matt Rogers]

Totally. I mean, does this scratch the itch of like a Desperate Housewives in a way? Yeah, that's what I thought. You know what I mean? It was like, it was like, oh, soapy, scandalous, can't be fun. Like, you can tell that they had fun making it. And like, you know, I'm checking all the socials from the cast and the crew and they're all like promoting the show and they're like, the show is insane. Enjoy. I'm like, okay. So they're all like. And that makes me think like they're all on the, on the same page.

[Bowen Yang]

See, and that's my thing is I'm like, you have to remember that like people that are involved in these shows like, know they're fucking crazy that the shows are great. Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Rated R. Under 17. Not admitted without parent.

[Matt Rogers]

Only in theaters this Friday. We have to talk about a really shocking pegging storyline.

[Bowen Yang]

This to me was we rewound a.

[Matt Rogers]

Lot of the show for the Foley.

[Bowen Yang]

But we needed to rewind this one scene several times just to make sure that we were all hearing what we thought we had heard.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you want to describe it?

[Matt Rogers]

There's a character, a couple who are very sexually liberated. And, you know, it's quite nice, actually.

[Bowen Yang]

I loved seeing it.

[Matt Rogers]

I loved seeing it. There's a pegging moment and then really grounded intimacy because it was like. Like there's an orgasm, a male org. A penis orgasm. And then her part, his partner. She kind of like pulls her hand out from under the covers.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Kind of like checks. Checks the grease on it.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Checks to make sure it.

[Matt Rogers]

Let's just say this confirms that there was ejaculate.

[Bowen Yang]

And then a woman pegs a man.

[Matt Rogers]

Woman pegs a man. He comes. She pulls her hand out from his. From his. From his dick.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Wipes the comb.

[Bowen Yang]

Yep.

[Matt Rogers]

She pulls out and the pullout is the withdrawal is.

[Bowen Yang]

This is the sound. And I'm sorry, am I wrong?

[Matt Rogers]

No.

[Bowen Yang]

Literally, she. She pulls the peg out of her husband's butthole. And this is literally. It's on Netflix Go watch it. It's got to be, what, the seventh episode? Something like that.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

That's the sound they make when she pulls out of his butthole. I said, I've. Has it ever been like that for you? Like, has that ever been the sound when someone pulled out?

[Matt Rogers]

Can't say. Although this character. The whole big guy was on a big guy.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

And so maybe that. It. That's it. The acoustics are different.

[Bowen Yang]

A woman fucks her big husband, and when she pulls the peg out of his butthole.

[Matt Rogers]

I wouldn't describe my. I wouldn't describe myself as having anal acoustics.

[Bowen Yang]

Just can't believe.

[Matt Rogers]

No.

[Bowen Yang]

That they sat in a room and were like, okay, so to make this moment really pop and feel real, what do we have to do? I. What? What is it? It's not.

[Matt Rogers]

But it's not going for real. It's.

[Bowen Yang]

I guess you're right.

[Matt Rogers]

You know, like, the wigs are an anchor. The wig. The wigs are there to tell you. By the way, all of the. The only apps these people use are Uber Instacart Signal. And then the only drinks any of these characters will be drinking are a mimosas.

[Bowen Yang]

It's a mimosa in every scene. Like, if women are getting together to have, like, a cocktail and they're not drinking a mimosa, you're not watching this show. They're having a mimosa every time. Or, like, some sort of yellow orange drink that's in, like, an alternate glass, but, like, could be a mimosa.

[Matt Rogers]

I mean. But let's just shout out all of these performances.

[Bowen Yang]

What is her name? The actress that plays Callie? That's what I was just looking for because I realized I wasn't.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

It wasn't up to the Internet.

[Matt Rogers]

Let's.

[Bowen Yang]

She won the show.

[Matt Rogers]

She won the show. Jamie Ray Newman. Fantastic.

[Bowen Yang]

She won the show.

[Matt Rogers]

Katie Lowe's also, I think, doing great work.

[Bowen Yang]

Katie Lowe's. It goes all the way back to Scandal.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

So over committed to what she's doing. Like, shout out Katie Lowe's, I always loved you. Even since Quinn on Scandal.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah. And then we have to shout out Dermot, of course. An actor named Michael Aaron Milligan doing really brave work at a trailer door. If, you know, you know, showing full front.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah. Every episode. This show gives you something where you're like, well, I have to.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, actually, no, it's fantastic. No, it's like we're. We're not even being snarky about it. We're just like, we're still processing what we watched, and it's. It's phenomenal.

[Bowen Yang]

There were parts where I was like, huh? But then every single time we hit play on a new episode, I was thrilled. Only eight episodes. You can get right through it.

[Matt Rogers]

There you go. I mean, we had.

[Bowen Yang]

And Britney Snow is legitimately good.

[Matt Rogers]

No, truly fantastic work. And we. We've always been Britney Snow Snowbounding.

[Bowen Yang]

And you guys were all saying that. I'm Malin.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, you're Malin. Do you think I am?

[Bowen Yang]

You know who you are, Abby. I don't know if you're the murdered girl.

[Matt Rogers]

Spoiler.

[Bowen Yang]

You might be Dermot. No, you hit me.

[Matt Rogers]

Spoiler. I think I'm.

[Bowen Yang]

You know who you are. You're Detective Wanda Salazar.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm Wanda Salazar.

[Bowen Yang]

You are. There were too many characters in the show, I think.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. And that's okay. And that's what these knee. Like, Desperate Housewives said. How many? Like 75.

[Bowen Yang]

I love when they talked about the Libtards.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

I can't just. I can't tell if the show was like, should everyone have a gun? Or is it bad that everyone has a gun? Is there's just so much casual violence and, like, justified murder that you're like, well, thank God this person had a gun.

[Matt Rogers]

And I'm like, well, is gay sex the thing that leads to ruin, or is it the thing that is beautiful? And, you know, it's like, it really does kind of. It's a Rorschach test. Best to the audience.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. It's equal parts queer rights and also gun right. It's second amendment. And also Oberg fell.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what I mean?

[Matt Rogers]

I mean, at this point, I was on a date once, and. And this guy and I were just kind of like, you know what? Like, should we just, like, prepare ourselves? Should we, like, go to a shooting range?

[Bowen Yang]

I've been wanting to go to a shooting range. I can't get bring myself down. I would like to go fire a gun. Just to know what it feels like. Just to have an experience.

[Matt Rogers]

Right. I think that's all. That's all attainable.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you want to go?

[Matt Rogers]

Sure.

[Bowen Yang]

You and I shoot a gun and.

[Matt Rogers]

We'Re amazing at it. That could be his slay.

[Bowen Yang]

We'd become gungaze.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Title of that. Gungaze.

[Matt Rogers]

Gungan. Or like, Gungan.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, my God. Gungan.

[Matt Rogers]

Jar Jar.

[Bowen Yang]

Jar Jar Bings. We miss you, King.

[Matt Rogers]

King.

[Bowen Yang]

You were one of you were Jar Jar Binks was queer representation in Star Wars. It's really culture number 50. Jar Jar Binks was queer representation in.

[Matt Rogers]

Star wars and everyone wanted to kill him. And clear representation in the Galactic Senate.

[Bowen Yang]

Absolutely.

[Matt Rogers]

There was a Gungan in the Senate.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you think Queen Amidala was a lesbian?

[Matt Rogers]

I don't know that there was ever. Lyserai lies or.

[Bowen Yang]

I. I think kind of lesbian for.

[Matt Rogers]

For Padme to have like, body doubles for Amidala. I'm sorry. To have body doubles. That had to have been like, kind of like a little harem situation too. Like, you're gonna be me, and also we're gonna. We're gonna scissor.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, I just don't. I don't know. Anakin to me was gay.

[Matt Rogers]

Explain.

[Bowen Yang]

He was always whining and crying and he was always like, like. And also Luke. Like, Anakin, Luke. Like, I feel. I believe if there's a gay gene, the Skywalker's had it.

[Matt Rogers]

It.

[Bowen Yang]

Dad, question number 70. If there was a gay Jean had it.

[Matt Rogers]

So that means all the way down to Leah. I'm not down to Leah. Leah. And. Oh, no, Rey was not a Skywalker.

[Bowen Yang]

No, she was.

[Matt Rogers]

No, she wasn't.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, she was a Palpatine.

[Matt Rogers]

She was a Palpatine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And remember that? Wow. Kylo is Han Solo.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, yeah, but she. But he was also a Skywalker.

[Matt Rogers]

Wait, okay, now that we're, like, reevaluate. Now that we're being like a little bit more, I don't know, broaden our definition of camp. I mean, no, I mean, Honeywell's is clearly camp show. Rise of Skywalker is a camp movie.

[Bowen Yang]

I've always said people need to put some respect. I have always said that Rise of Skywalker was camp and that when they kissed at the end, that, like, that was. That was when it got good.

[Matt Rogers]

It's like everyone hates that movie for whatever reason. And I'm like, guys, it's good if.

[Bowen Yang]

You hate that movie. You're a baby. If you. If you leave any Star wars movie, like, like, shut up, you baby.

[Matt Rogers]

Like, go read Ursula K. Le Guin.

[Bowen Yang]

A lot of people being babies lately. Can we just say that?

[Matt Rogers]

Hey, hey, baby. You drop. You drop your pass.

[Bowen Yang]

You drop your pacifier on the goddamn ground. Put it in your mouth and get sick for all I care. I think. What would you call your inebriation level right now? I level.

[Matt Rogers]

My level is level five. Level five.

[Bowen Yang]

I guess I'm like a six or seven because I can handle a little bit more than you, even though I had a couple more drinks.

[Matt Rogers]

Don't presume to know my presume innocent.

[Bowen Yang]

How about that?

[Matt Rogers]

I. I need to not. I need to only ingest glutathione beta alanine, creatine before a workout. Protein isolate after.

[Bowen Yang]

Good luck.

[Matt Rogers]

I need to. I need to. What goes in is just as important as what goes out. And what's. What goes out is people who pay top dollar. No, you know what I mean? Like I, I've described my shits recently as poisonous.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, that is a diet thing, I'm sure.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

What are you putting in? What kind of things are you ordering late at night? Just be honest.

[Matt Rogers]

Taco Bell bean burrito. You do.

[Bowen Yang]

You do a Taco Bell? Is it because of marijuana at night?

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Or.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, I've been doing little like cheese plates at night while I'm watching my shows, my program.

[Bowen Yang]

Cheese plates.

[Matt Rogers]

I'll do like Manchego. I'll do, you know, a soft cheese.

[Bowen Yang]

Until you wake up in the morning and it's not so good.

[Matt Rogers]

And I'm way down girl.

[Bowen Yang]

I guess. Speaking of cheese and reactions to it, we should talk about the end. Just like that finale, which I still have not watched.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, Bowen, I want you to speak freely.

[Bowen Yang]

I actually will, thank you.

[Matt Rogers]

I know about, I've heard about Epcot, played by the incredible Spike Einbinder.

[Bowen Yang]

Spike Einbinder. A friend plays Epcot in the show. I first of all, I gotta say don't love the whole thing of like, oh, there's obviously there's like a non binary character here and they, they named them Epcot because I guess in this world like all non binary and trans people have like weird up names and are like. I just, I didn't love that.

[Matt Rogers]

The attitude around trans people on the show is, is interesting.

[Bowen Yang]

It's. I wouldn't even call it interesting. I call it baldly negative and didn't love that. But I don't know if that's a response to whole, to the whole che Diaz like debacle or whatever, but didn't exactly feel there was careful towards the trans and non binary community in that last episode. And just want to say separating this entirely from like the way we feel about literally all the actresses that work on that show who we adore and love and respect so much. That was not great the way to end that story. That was not great. I mean the fact that in the last six minutes of. Because I don't think they're gonna resume the story of Carrie, Miranda and, and Charlotte going forward, I feel like it's probably done.

[Matt Rogers]

Don't forget Seema and lvp.

[Bowen Yang]

Sure.

[Matt Rogers]

Not that. That's Lisa Vanderpump. What's her name?

[Bowen Yang]

Don't forget lvp.

[Matt Rogers]

Who. Who. Who's the third?

[Bowen Yang]

Ltw.

[Matt Rogers]

Miss Mama with the two dads. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes. Whose dad's. Both dads passed away. All I know is in the last five minutes of. And just like that, we saw an overhead shot of a toilet and poop floated up through the toilet bowl and overflow. I. Look, I'm sure you guys all saw it. If you didn't understand that the way.

[Matt Rogers]

That that's one of the last images. That's one of the last images is.

[Bowen Yang]

That a character named Epcot eats cheese, causes a toilet to clog. And then one of the last things we see in all of Sex and the.

[Matt Rogers]

In Carrie Bradshaw's New York.

[Bowen Yang]

In Carrie Bradshaw's New York is poop. Nuggets float up through the toilet, overflow the bowl, and then Miranda ends up on her hands and knees and she says, what is my life? And I had the same question. I had very close to the same question.

[Matt Rogers]

Now, what is the difference? You don't have to have a real answer for this, but, like, is it just more disappointing? Because, like, that is campy. I'm sure it's like poor taste and good taste or whatever in, like, the Sontag way. But it's like, what's the difference between. And just like that doing that versus hunting wives, doing pegging, slurp, you know what I mean? Because one. One has it established from the get go, and the other kind of had to do a hard left into that because how. How else are they gonna, like, tell this story in a compelling way? It becomes water cooler talk. Because say what you will about that show, it was. It was always water cooler talk every episode.

[Bowen Yang]

Absolutely. And I mean, here we are talking about it now. But my thing is just like, I actually, like, I finished the episode and the last few scenes are just of Carrie Bradshaw. And, you know, she realizes. She says in her voiceover, she goes, the lady realized she was not alone. She was on her own. And I remember it ends with, you know, SJP as Carrie sort of like, like, walking in her home. And she sort of, you know, she's just like, whatever. And I. I finished the episode and I thought, okay, you know what I mean? This was a show about a woman in her middle age whose husband dies. And she felt that she had finally reached that stage of her life where she could be comfortable with her partner and live out her days. And he died, and she had to figure it out again. So this series was about what happens when, when that goes down in your life. And I feel like in the totality of all of it, at least the show was about something. And they were able to end it with Carrie Bradshaw being like, I'm on my own, but I'm not alone. I have friends. It's not the end of my life. I'm okay.

[Matt Rogers]

She's experienced love and that's what the show is about. And it doesn't have to like remain or whatever. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

So at least it was about something. Yeah. That being said, that show had real potential in the first season, in the first couple episodes. And then it just. We saw poop. You would never have seen. Would you ever have seen poop in Sex in the City? Poop? No, actual fecal matter.

[Matt Rogers]

You would see poop in most shows.

[Bowen Yang]

It feels really undignified.

[Matt Rogers]

Is that like a big fuck you from MPK being like, I don't.

[Bowen Yang]

No.

[Matt Rogers]

Like, ah, yeah. I wonder why. There must be a reason. That's. That's what's puzzling me. And again, I'm, Yeah, whatever. I'm, I'm not.

[Bowen Yang]

I.

[Matt Rogers]

Knowing what I know about the finale, I'm like, I think I'm good. I don't think I have to experience this.

[Bowen Yang]

I kind of want you to watch it because I do want you. Because here's the thing. It's just like when. What they had to have art directed the poop. Poop. You know what I mean? It's like, it's like a full on. No.

[Matt Rogers]

Someone in props brought over two different samples of.

[Bowen Yang]

And they had to run it to make sure the poop floated.

[Matt Rogers]

Like, and like okay. And which, which like go to a director and go. Which poop do you prefer?

[Bowen Yang]

See, yeah, that's the thing is I'm like. And this is like, this is a beloved series that, that I don't know that it, that was, it was tough stuff.

[Matt Rogers]

So that is the. As far as we know, the end of that story.

[Bowen Yang]

It can have been what they want. It can have been what they thought the last episode was. I'm sorry. At a certain point it's like, I understand why you guys all want to be like, yes, we decided to end it this way and haha. You know what I mean? Like, isn't this lovely? Etc. And I did think that, you know, the, the powers that be that clearly were not empowered to make those decisions, like handled it as gracefully as they could, but ultimately cannot. I refuse to believe that they looked at a final cut of that episode and were like yeah, we're good. Ending the story this way.

[Matt Rogers]

Roll credits.

[Bowen Yang]

No.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, well that's the culture.

Do we at least say some good news? I would say that we've heard music. Yes. From an upcoming album that is going to bring someone back into a big way.

[Matt Rogers]

We're very excited we received this music because we are very excited to have this person on the show.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Very soon. And I think everyone's gonna be very excited. She is someone who we've rooted for. We all as in we in the royal sense. Like you've rooted for her as well.

[Bowen Yang]

This person looms large in the lost Culturistas lore.

[Matt Rogers]

In the game show lore.

[Bowen Yang]

In the game show lore. And really the Matt and Bowen and extended universe lore. This person has always loome. And new music is coming from this person and their name is Demi Lovato. And we've heard what we can only describe as true bops. We've heard six songs.

[Matt Rogers]

Six songs, and they are all truly sublime.

[Bowen Yang]

And she's coming to the podcast.

[Matt Rogers]

It is on the books, so if it doesn't pan out. Out, no worries. But you. You heard it here first. And if it doesn't work out, then that's fine.

[Bowen Yang]

I think it's gonna pan out.

[Matt Rogers]

I think it's gonna pan out. But also our. We're sitting on some creaky chairs, so, you know, if that's intolerable to you, you know, just press stop now.

[Bowen Yang]

It's P Town.

[Matt Rogers]

It's P Town, girl. We're. We're doing our best.

[Bowen Yang]

Let them creak.

[Matt Rogers]

Let him creak.

[Bowen Yang]

It's like let them cook, but let them creak.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you have anything to get off your chest?

[Matt Rogers]

Do I have anything to get off my chest? I don't think so. I'm kind of just like. Kind of just like enjoying this week of. Of peace.

[Bowen Yang]

Have you been having a peaceful time?

[Matt Rogers]

I think so. I think I could. I could steal a nap or two.

[Bowen Yang]

You want to go to bed at.

[Matt Rogers]

Some point, but not now. I'm not. I'm not rushing for this to end.

[Bowen Yang]

Liar.

[Matt Rogers]

No, wait. Am I. Think. Am I. Do I have something to get off my chest that, like. I'm thinking about that. That you're thinking about just with this.

[Bowen Yang]

Time that we have together.

[Matt Rogers]

No, I mean, I still encourage everyone to go see weapons. I still. I'm. I'm excited. I. I want to watch as Many movies as I can before. Before I lose the time. You know what I mean? I'm just scrolling through photos. I'm like, what's happened to me recently? I'm. I'm boring. I'm in my boring era.

[Bowen Yang]

No, I don't think that's true.

[Matt Rogers]

No, it's okay.

[Bowen Yang]

We've had a wonderful time, like traversing Provincetown, going through Commercial street, etc. I was actually just sitting outside looking at the sky, the clouds, alignment. It is just so beautiful. We are in this wonderful home. I'm looking out, you got to come down here. If you haven't come down here. I know we're speaking to a lot of gay guys and girls who have gay friends and so. And of course, queer women. But Provincetown really is a place to come.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes, absolutely.

[Bowen Yang]

Maybe I'll buy a home here.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, I'll be stopping by. Well, let's go to the home. Let's see. Let's. Oh, Audrey Hobert, fabulous new album.

[Bowen Yang]

Have you been listening to it? I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet. Give your impressions.

[Matt Rogers]

Just a great. So people don't know. Audrey Hobert, fabulous singer, has written songs for some of his faves. Gracie.

[Bowen Yang]

So May I Wanna Be Wanted.

[Matt Rogers]

We shouted her out before, but who's the Clown Is the name of the album.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, I like that title.

[Matt Rogers]

Great title. Great title. I am not up to speed on the Ethel V. Lana of it all.

[Bowen Yang]

But I kind of am, but I think.

[Matt Rogers]

But Lana has released the diss track. Is that true?

[Bowen Yang]

Solana Del Rey uploaded like a, you know, sort of. What would you call it? It was sort of like a.

[Matt Rogers]

A polemic.

[Bowen Yang]

It was a diss track. It's a track 13 and she tagged Jack Antonov and it was basically like Ethel Kane didn't like my Instagram post and she was kind of just going off in the song. And then she revealed that Ethel Kane had at once made a comment nastily about her weight. And there is Ethel. Can Lana Del Rey beef officially?

[Matt Rogers]

And Nicki Minaj is involved.

[Bowen Yang]

Is Nicki Minaj involved?

[Matt Rogers]

Nikki is now. But Nikki for a while was pro Ethel, and now I believe she's pro Lana. Like, this is where, you know, it's. This is. This is why I've chosen to disengage. I'm like, I don't need to really be reading her thoughts necessarily at this time in the year 20. In the year 2025.

[Bowen Yang]

But are there still Barbs? Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, for sure.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you think that the Barb's Numbers have taken a hit.

[Matt Rogers]

I. I'm not following that.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, right.

[Matt Rogers]

You know. Yeah, it's. This is my thing.

[Bowen Yang]

I remember back in the day, we could. We were standing. So we were soldiers for Nikki.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

And then it just became all too much.

[Matt Rogers]

I mean, we'll always have the moments.

[Bowen Yang]

We'll always have the moments, I guess. But I will always remember those times. Times.

[Matt Rogers]

I'll always remember when we would rip.

[Bowen Yang]

Roman's revenge safe ag it.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, that was an Eminem and he said that many times. It was on. On a microphone. Well.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, my God. Yeah. So the. Ethel. I can't say that I'm that up to speed on what Ethel Kane does. I should probably.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, it's good. So this one. This new album, Willoughby Tucker will always love you is a prequel to her debut. Just tells the story of, you know, Preacher's Daughters. The first album tells the story of. I guess I. Maybe I'm not super clear on this, but it tells the story of a Persona through Hayden Anhedonia, who. Which is Ethel's real name. Sort of like falling in love with this person. I. I find it. Real name Ethel is the Ilias is the show as the showbiz name. Hayden Anhedonia is the name of Ethel. Am I making. I'm a little drunk, but I find Ethel. I've always found Ethel very endearing. Super smart. She loves Zelda.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, so the huge win for you.

[Matt Rogers]

Huge win for me. She has an unboxing video that I watch all the time as asmr. She unboxes the special edition Zelda Switch Lite and she talks about her love of the Zelda games. She owns the Zelda edition of every single Nintendo console.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, wow.

[Matt Rogers]

She's. She's a real. She's ahead. She's a real Zelda head.

[Bowen Yang]

Whatever happened with the Zelda movie? Is that still happening?

[Matt Rogers]

That's happening. They cast. They cast their Lincoln Zelda. They're going young. Young. Like early teens.

[Bowen Yang]

Do we know who the casting?

[Matt Rogers]

Yes. Is all the movie casting? Yeah. These are some two kids. They are.

[Bowen Yang]

These are some two kids.

[Matt Rogers]

Bo Braggison as Zelda. Really pretty girl. Benjamin Ainsworth as Link. Really, really heroic looking young man.

[Bowen Yang]

Will this be one of the biggest movies?

[Matt Rogers]

Depends. I think Nintendo is moving into more of the entertainment space and the theme parks. As you know. I think they are kind of trying to diversify a little bit. They're offering aside from video games, in terms of the Mario. Because the Mario movie did so well. They're really going in on Zelda. They are obviously really invested in the theme parks.

[Bowen Yang]

I mean, I guess my thing is, like, I feel like the Mario movie did well because it was able to be funny. Is Zelda gonna be able to be funny? Is it gonna feel like it's taking itself too seriously?

[Matt Rogers]

The tone is so hard to strike. It is. It's like, not a dialogue heavy series, you know, it's, it's mostly about, like, I bet it'll be very quiet and expanded. It'll be a very gentle fantasy movie, which I'm excited about because we don't have a lot of those. Fantasy movies are so, like, like intense, like, world building. This is, this is who that wizard is. You know, it's like, it's, it's so much information at you. And the Zelda games are really about, like, like, for lack of a better word, vibes. It's like you're a little boy on a farm, you know, in a farm town, and then you get the, you know, you get the, you learn about the triforce or whatever. Like, I, I, I do like that take on fantasy. And. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm curious.

[Bowen Yang]

Is an ocarina a real instrument?

[Matt Rogers]

Yes, it is.

[Bowen Yang]

It is.

[Matt Rogers]

It is.

[Bowen Yang]

I could play one.

[Matt Rogers]

You could?

[Bowen Yang]

Could you get me one for Christmas?

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Would you buy me an ocarina?

[Matt Rogers]

I would buy you ocarina. You like that? Yeah. I think you like ocarina because of the word ocarina.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. I do think that I came up with a new drag name and Bowen did what he does. Whenever I say a new drag name for me, which was immediately dismiss it, but let me know what you guys think. Pola Rising.

[Matt Rogers]

And I said, yeah, like the common female name.

[Bowen Yang]

Polo. Excuse me. You have this thing where you think that in order to be an effective drag name, the first name has to be like Ann or Marie.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't think you have to be effective, but polarising. You always state the drag names as if they make total sense. And the reason they're funny and great is because they don't make sense. But you're like, you guys, right? Like, it works. Polo Rising. And I'm like, well, no, I have to poke holes in it because you're.

[Bowen Yang]

You don't want me to have a dragon perfect name. I became a dragon. I would totally.

[Matt Rogers]

Do I have to take it?

[Bowen Yang]

No. You know, if I became a drag queen, I would be so. I wouldn't even need to speak to anyone in my life. If I became a drag queen, I would be RuPaul. I would be so big I would fly as high as the skies I'd be bigger than the whole sky Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I guess. Should we talk about Taylor? She pissed me off when she said there was a countdown on her website. And I got all excited. I got on my Instagram act like a goddamn F. I was like, we ride at 2pm etc. And it was a new vinyl pressing. After. I got so excited about the whole life of a showgirl era, because I can't believe it's going to be Max Martin. 12 tracks, 12 focused bangers. It's what I've wanted for a long time. We were both excited about what it was going to be giving.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

And then I thought, wow, maybe she's going to release a new song. While we're here in P town, people were girding their loins around us, being like, like, oh, God, there's gonna be a new Taylor song.

[Matt Rogers]

I had the speaker ready.

[Bowen Yang]

I. We were ready to go.

[Matt Rogers]

Now can I ask, did you take down those stories?

[Bowen Yang]

I did. I was embarrassed.

[Matt Rogers]

That's real shame.

[Bowen Yang]

No, Yeah, I was really ashamed because I was like, someone sent. I've probably obviously Jared being like, oh, my God, there's a new countdown on Taylor's website. I'm thinking it has to be a single. So I put it on my story. I even get on my story. I say, mute me. Like, you know, get ready for me, I'm coming. Etc. I do feel like people are so fucking annoying about Taylor Swift. Like, okay, you don't like it, Shut the fuck up. And I was just like, I'm gonna enjoy this. So few things to enjoy in life. Please, dear God, let me enjoy this collection of pop music, which it is. But then I do the most. I say how excited I am, and she just is like, it's a vinyl pressing. And I was like, okay, I guess I'll continue to wait.

[Matt Rogers]

So, so that was just salt on the wound, right? Because you're thinking about this in terms of like, I have. I've done a lot of work to arrive at a place where I can be excited publicly about a new Taylor Swift moment. And the fact that she had kind of proven these people right was what was annoying?

[Bowen Yang]

No, she didn't prove anyone right. It was just for me, it was just like, oh, I, I, I'm so.

[Matt Rogers]

You aren't even allowed to be excited?

[Bowen Yang]

No. And, and that is the energy. It's like, like when people make you feel bad, still think it's interesting. And I understand that you might not think it's interesting for me to be like, yay, Taylor Swift. But I do think it is less cool to be like this thing that everyone likes. And I'm always going to be like that. I am always going to be the person that's like, if you are the type of individual that is out here being like you and that thing that you and a lot of other people like, that it's is, you know, not. It's just, it's just, it just to me is like, it's a stasis I don't want to occupy. I never want to be like, oh, you're excited about that thing. You're stupid. Like, to me that's like the antithesis of everything that, who. That of who I am of like, honestly, what this all is, it just is like annoying and I hate it. And so then I got all excited about her announcing something new and I was like, haha, yeah, I'm ready to go, let's go. And then it was a vinyl pressing and I was like, okay, well, I will continue to sit quietly.

[Matt Rogers]

Totally.

[Bowen Yang]

I've been humbled, but I'm still excited. Yeah. Did you watch the interview with Travis?

[Matt Rogers]

I did not watch Jason. I kind of, I kind of got the, the big pull quotes. I did watch it, but yeah, I mean, it'll come. October's not that far away.

[Bowen Yang]

No, it's fine. We're all fine.

[Matt Rogers]

We're all fine. Grammy submission deadline is in the end of August. She'll probably release something before then.

[Bowen Yang]

I don't think she will. I think she's gonna allow Sabrina to have her Runway. I really do. I think she's, she's got a lot of daughters in the mix. Like, I think Sabrina and Gracie are in the mix in a big way. And I think she respects Gaga so much. I think she knows this is not her. This Grammy race is not her fight. And I think she will wait. She's given everyone a lot of time to absorb the fact that she's gonna come hard with an album. Album. And I do think that she had. She seems more confident about this than she has in something in a very long time. Not to say that she hasn't seemed confident, just to say she seems ultra confident in the fact that she and Max Martin and Shellback, who are the best pop music producers that exist. I feel good saying that. Yeah, they've, you know, created a focused 12 track album that will probably be all bangers. You can choose to not enjoy that or not. I mean, it's not, not to me right but it's.

[Matt Rogers]

I think you're talking about something where people are like, reaching out. Being like, not you. Liking.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. It's not, It's. It's not new news. And it's also not fun.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, it's just this. It's this political theory. Sorry. Where it's like. Oh, and in late, late, late stage capitalism, it's like when you have no political will to exercise, then you're gonna. You think you can exercise consumerist will. Which is. Is like saying like, which is just having an issue with any kind of pop culture for any reason, which we dabble in sometimes. You know, we just kind of talked about and just like that. But I think we're not doing it in a sort of like, as a reaction to like, certain things.

[Bowen Yang]

Or maybe we are.

[Matt Rogers]

But it's like if.

[Bowen Yang]

And just like that was good, we.

[Matt Rogers]

Would not make anyone feel bad for liking it.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Right. But it's.

[Matt Rogers]

But we're not. And we're not making anyone feel bad. If you do happen to like and just like that. That, please enjoy it.

[Bowen Yang]

I would love to hear from you.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

If. If you actually thought. And just like that was good, please send in a voice memo saying why. And don't do it as a joke.

[Matt Rogers]

Like, we will not make fun of you. We just want to hear you out.

[Bowen Yang]

Even the hunting wives. I mean, like, did you look it up? What did it have on Metacritic?

[Matt Rogers]

72.

[Bowen Yang]

That's high.

[Matt Rogers]

Very high. And I curious about that.

[Bowen Yang]

It's high when you look at what the wigs look like. You know what I mean? It's like when you see those wigs are.

[Matt Rogers]

Are docking at least 40.

[Bowen Yang]

That's what I'm saying is like, you can't get higher than a 60 when the wigs look the way they do on.

[Matt Rogers]

When you can see the hairline, you can see the bait. The real baby hairs poke out of the lace question mark. If. If there was lace to begin with.

[Bowen Yang]

Our joke was like, someone was like, who is that actor? And we were like, oh, that's a Vancouver logo.

[Matt Rogers]

Local.

[Bowen Yang]

Where did they shoot it?

[Matt Rogers]

I think. I think Asheville.

[Bowen Yang]

Asheville.

[Matt Rogers]

The beautiful city of Asheville.

[Bowen Yang]

I loved every second of the show. I want distress. And I. I have to say, like, you know, ultimately it is my kind of program.

[Matt Rogers]

It is made for us.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

The only thing we're kind of unsure about is. And the show does a really good job of like threading the needle. Like, it'll appeal to any sector.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Is this pro guns, pro queer, or is this anti Guns.

[Bowen Yang]

You can't tell what it thinks, which.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, God. I mean, I guess we'll settle for it.

[Bowen Yang]

One thing I do stand by is that any given scene of the show could end in one character quietly, to themselves going.

[Matt Rogers]

It'S great.

[Bowen Yang]

Every scene is so stressful. And then an individual just.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, but it's. I mean, it's great. I mean, there's no better period on a sentence of a scene than fuck.

[Bowen Yang]

And ultimately I leave only happy for Britney Snow.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah. And Malon.

[Bowen Yang]

And listen, I tore it up.

[Matt Rogers]

May Cobb, the writer of the novel. Hope you're getting a fat Chuck.

[Bowen Yang]

And it ends differently than the novel.

[Matt Rogers]

That's right. I love when they do that. I love it when that happens when you sneeze. When I sneeze.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you love the feeling of sneezing?

[Matt Rogers]

Well, it's supposed to be orgasmic.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh.

[Matt Rogers]

It's supposed to be the same kind of, like, sense of a, you know, somatic experience as well. Gasma.

[Bowen Yang]

I just can't stop thinking about how much, like, come and like gay nipple there was in Hunting Wives. Like you really need to. It had all the bodily.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. Mary. Mary kill.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, wow.

[Matt Rogers]

I love this come poop nugget and just like that. Or gain a people.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm gonna marry. Come. I'm gonna. I'm gonna marry. I'm gonna fuck nipple and I'm gonna kill poop nugget from Just like that.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Out of the craziest things we've seen over the past week, like if it's Mary Kill the dildo coming out of a man's butt on Hunting Wives, the poop nugget from in Just like that. That. And what's the third?

[Matt Rogers]

Shiny Bug vinyl.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm gonna marry. I'm gonna marry the dildo. I'm gonna. The shiny bug vinyl variant. Because you don't know what it could be amazing.

[Matt Rogers]

Can I tell you? And I did order that.

[Bowen Yang]

You did.

[Matt Rogers]

I did order.

[Bowen Yang]

Because I already. I had already. You did order it. Yeah, I had already ordered the original. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

See, I was gonna wait in line. I was gonna wait in line in the original drop. I was like, let me just. Whatever. And then I was like, oh, great, I'll buy the. And I like this cover.

[Bowen Yang]

It is. I mean, the COVID is amazing. And by the way, her Taylor's visuals for this are great.

[Matt Rogers]

I love it.

[Bowen Yang]

I love it. And then the theme is the. The theme. The theory is she's gonna go do the sphere, which I think feels right because how do you tour after eras no, exactly. Don't.

[Matt Rogers]

It's. It's. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

The showgirl thing. The Vegas thing.

[Matt Rogers]

Exactly. I said that as soon as August 12th. As soon as that dropped, I was texting you and Jared. I was like, she's doing Vegas.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. There is the Elizabeth Taylor of it all. Which is track two. That calls back to in Ready for it. She speaks about Britain to this Taylor. There's lots there.

[Matt Rogers]

Lots there, lots there. So you said. I'm sorry. In the first game of Mary Kill. You said Mary come Gay nipple.

[Bowen Yang]

And definitely killed. Poop nugget.

[Matt Rogers]

I was. I'm gonna marry gay nipple. I'm a boop. Gay. Of course. Yeah. Come.

[Bowen Yang]

You're gonna fuck.

[Matt Rogers]

Calm. Sometimes calm is what I want, sometimes it's not.

[Bowen Yang]

I can't say I've been like a big calm guy. Yeah, but the week is young.

[Matt Rogers]

The week is young.

[Bowen Yang]

Should we do. I don't think so. Any. We're gonna make this an hour long episode this time.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. We're on vacation.

[Bowen Yang]

We're on vacation after all.

[Matt Rogers]

My phone's charging. Do you have yours?

[Bowen Yang]

I don't. I mean, what we could do is we could do one of those. Like, we'll let Vaughan go get his. By the way, there's a pair of binoculars in the home that we're staying in and we haven't used them. Bet we could see a lot of stuff.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

Gut something and I. I have something. Do you have something?

[Bowen Yang]

I do have something.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay, this is Matt Rogers. I don't think so. Time starts now.

[Bowen Yang]

I don't think so, honey. Rum punch anywhere you go. Like, if you're at like a gay destination, they're going to offer you like a rum punch, which is like a special cocktail. The thing about rum punch is it is so much more sugar than you ever could possibly imagine. So if you're over the age of 30 and you go somewhere and you have like a. Is it called the Planner's punch here or. No, Planner's Punches.

[Matt Rogers]

And Fire Island.

[Bowen Yang]

That's Fire Island.

[Matt Rogers]

What is it? Call it? Yeah, some kind of punch.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, just like whatever it is. Like I. Maybe it's me now. Maybe it's me always. I used to be the kind of girl this is back in 20, 21, 20 seconds. Where I could go to the Fire Islands, you know, the. The Blue whale, whatever. I can go to tea and I can have like three Planners punches and be okay. Now it's about one, one and a half and I'm wrapped for the night and I Feel it's a lethal drink to serve. I don't think so, honey. That I'm necessarily targeting anyone. I'm not shaving anyone. I'm just saying for me, my metabolism, in my body, it's not going to be a rum punch. No sort of Mai tai. No rum at all in it. I don't want it. If there's Malibu in it, I don't want it. Sorry. To Jen Pedratzi of the real houses of Orange County. I know this your drink, but not for me.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't think so, honey. That's. One minute. Jen Pedranti drinks rum punches.

[Bowen Yang]

She said Malibu Diet Coke. That's her cocktail.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, I never. I mean, I should like that in theory, but I just don't.

[Bowen Yang]

It's like a fact. I know about Jen Pedranty, that she drinks a Malibu and Diet.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm rooting for Jen Pedranti. Kind of Brittany Snowcombe coded. She's kind of the Britney Snow of.

[Bowen Yang]

OC and that you root for her.

[Matt Rogers]

And that she's giving me Britney Snow in the face and in her. Sort of like, in her. In her manner. I'm like, oh, you're. You know, I like you.

[Bowen Yang]

You needn't root for Britney Snow because she's winning.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yes, absolutely. But I'm just saying, like, I always. It doesn't matter. It's like I always root for Cher, you know, it's like I root for these people.

[Bowen Yang]

DJ playing a Christmas song and I wanna be dancing all night long. It's gonna be coming sooner than you think. It's actually rule of culture number six. Christmas is sooner than you think. Bowen.

[Matt Rogers]

Ready? Start your shopping now. Yep.

[Bowen Yang]

This is Bowen Yang's. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't think so, honey. Bingo. How come I've never once in my life won that game?

[Bowen Yang]

Racist.

[Matt Rogers]

And it's racist game. And it's a game where. I'm sorry. At least at the bingo we were at. No one's rooting for each other. Everyone's out for themselves at bingo. Very individual, restful. We. We've said we've loved the stamps, but the. The act of stamping of, you know, your eyeline going. Oh, do I have B7? Like.

[Bowen Yang]

Like that whole.

[Matt Rogers]

Like the scanning of the number. 30 seconds, you know, three up to six different bingo grids and cards. Stressful. And some. Some of these. Some of these bingo hosts. I'm not naming name names go too fast. Paige Turner or they stop. Not Paige Turner. We love you, Paige Turner, you were.

[Bowen Yang]

Turning the page too fast.

[Matt Rogers]

But, Paige.

[Bowen Yang]

Paige, you. You were.

[Matt Rogers]

You were. You were throwing in brilliant banter, but then would, like, say, like, four numbers in such quick succession that it was hard to keep up. That's all. No notes, though. You do your thing.

[Bowen Yang]

Five seconds.

[Matt Rogers]

We're hoping you're getting paid a lot, but bingo, I've never won. And so, like, what's your beef with me? Bingo. Also, you're a dog. You're not a game. Bye.

[Bowen Yang]

And that's one minute. I love holding Bowen Yang's phone. Phone. Because I was getting little buzzes, and I realized your grinder's popping off.

[Matt Rogers]

Girl. Girl. All these. All these people saying, did you bring your iceberg costume?

[Bowen Yang]

And I wonder, did they say that?

[Matt Rogers]

Will you me?

[Bowen Yang]

How about that would. What if someone's kink was to you in the iceberg?

[Matt Rogers]

I would say that is in an archive that I did that I don't have access to.

[Bowen Yang]

They want to Fanny. Fanny and bend over. Fanny. Tell me that. Fanny. Oh, show me that hole.

[Matt Rogers]

Fanny.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you think Fanny, the wicked character got into it at shiz? Do you think he was having gay sex?

[Matt Rogers]

I think he was very lonely. I think, you know, like many people, he. His cruelty was a shield.

[Bowen Yang]

Is this where you reveal that Fanny has a bigger story and wicked for good and there's a bigger, gayer story?

[Matt Rogers]

You know what I said, actually, at a recent unreleased least thing. Oh, my God. We were just doing. We were just doing a cast sort of roundtable, and I was kind of gagged, and I think my castmates were gagged as well. They were like, what are your big takeaways from working on these films? And I said, you know what I learned from these films? The sort of. The really terrible power that cruelty has. Cause I looked at everybody. I was like, I think. I think there's, like, obviously, like, deception and subterfuge. I like. And I was like. I looked at Michelle Yeoh. I looked at. Jeff Goldman was like, you know, Morriblin the wizard. Like, you know, they present themselves as, like, allies at first, but then they turn. But I was like, I think my character is, like, maybe the only, like, cruel one. Like, my. And Bronwyn's character, Fanny and Chen. Chen. I'm not to, like, aggrandize the roles too much. They are cruel. Cool.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

And like. And honestly, like, I've said this before on press. It's like, it did feel bad, and I would have to go apologize to Cynthia. Like, I was like, I'm so sorry. That felt so bad. Didn't mean to you. For whatever people want to project onto me when. If anyone thinks I'm a mean person out there because of the roles I've.

[Bowen Yang]

Created, you play cruelty.

[Matt Rogers]

Because I. Well, no, because I guess like I'm. I'm bitchy, sassy, whatever. Honestly, it's like everyone assumes that I'm mean.

[Bowen Yang]

No one assumes that.

[Matt Rogers]

No. Like a lot of China, like when I was in China, like the social media was. I was like, well, he seems so mean and like. And I'm like, wait, it's a gay thing? It's a gay. No, it's not even a gay thing. Like, I was like, I like, visited my cousin. I have a cousin in law who like runs like a daycare for neurodivergent kids. And like we took a picture there and she posted it and people were like, oh my God, this is so sweet. And this is so. This is so weird because Bowen seems so mean in real life and I'm.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, fucking crazy everyone almost.

[Matt Rogers]

And so whatever. I don't know why I'm on this tangent, but it's like.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, I was asking if you feel he gets a big gay moment.

[Matt Rogers]

Moment.

[Bowen Yang]

I. I wouldn't say. I think we all hope that Fanny dies. Yeah, I think we all hope to see Fanny dead in the film.

[Matt Rogers]

Fanny dead in the film.

[Bowen Yang]

I. What I want is for Fanny to be dead in a stampede. I want the animals.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, but you haven't seen Weapons. I was going to make a weapons comparison. There's. There's a gruesome, satisfying death in Weapons that I'm like, I want, I want that for Fanny for sure.

[Bowen Yang]

You can spoil that for me. Spoiler alert for Weapons.

[Matt Rogers]

Amy Madigan gets toe up. That's all I'll say.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, I heard about this. Because you know that whenever it's a horror movie, I can't see, I just go ahead and read the. But, but spoilers.

[Matt Rogers]

What's really nice about Weapons, though, is that you watch the ending and you go. And I. That's what I said in the last episode. So I'm gonna spoil it. It's like these kids and it's Amy Madigan and it's like they had a blast shooting. And then there was. There were photos from set where one of the kid actors posted, you know, like little like, you know, back, you know, BTS photos where Amy is like flashing a peace out in her crazy old lady out there with all these kids smiling.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm like, look, she's been having a moment.

[Matt Rogers]

She's been having a moment. I know. I'm so happy.

[Bowen Yang]

They're predicting her first supporter. They're saying as best supporting actress, Amy Madigan is a real contender.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. But I. But I totally see it because she has some scene work where I'm like, this. This is some I in August.

[Bowen Yang]

And a beloved actress. Like, I didn't actually realize, like, I didn't remember that she was filled the dreams. So she's got like an iconic scene of fil the dreams at like a town hall. Like, she's been like a real, like a journeyman actress they call it.

[Matt Rogers]

It's a hot couple. Amy Madigan and Ed. What's his name?

[Bowen Yang]

Ed o'. Neal.

[Matt Rogers]

Ed o'. Neal. No, no, no.

[Bowen Yang]
