Bowen Yang
I would love to have Demi Lovato on. I would be it. I would be nervous.
Matt Rogers
Why?
Bowen Yang
She's been through a lot.
Matt Rogers
She's been through a lot. But I think she would come and she'd be very candid. I mean, we always say to each other, I'm going to Be that bitch.
Bowen Yang
I would beat that bitch up from that.
Matt Rogers
From.
Bowen Yang
But her first YouTube documentary, I will.
Matt Rogers
Say this Cool for the summer. And Confident. Those were songs that I listened to. Confident by Demi Lovato for a long time before auditions and meetings. It literally empowered me. 149, Carrie Fisher. I mean, this was truly one of the greats. There, there was, there was from every single angle of the entertainment industry, a contributor. Just like a level up moment, right? Every time she was involved in a project.
Bowen Yang

Matt Rogers
I would say so. The Queen of Candor.

We went to the. We went to the Netflix afterparty. Outside, people were smoking, smoking reefer. So we went outside to go see who was about, try to get some weed. We run into the tallest, most beautiful.
Bowen Yang
Woman in the world, Venus Williams. She turns around, looks at us, and I say to her, what did I say to her?
Matt Rogers
I was like, you say, venus, you are a legend.
Bowen Yang
Venus, you are a legend. I just. We just love you so much. It's such an honor just to be.
Matt Rogers
With some version of the same thing. She hit her blunt, smoked her weed in our face and turned away. And I said, absolutely.
Bowen Yang
Don't say a word.

Nothing.

We melted into the ground. We said, perfect.

It was amazing.
Matt Rogers
She's an amazing tennis player too. Number 147, Princess Leia. She put her hair up in those buns and no one ever could kind of get that.
Bowen Yang
No one got that. No one got it.
Matt Rogers
No one could do it like her.
Bowen Yang
She recorded a video message, put it into a droid, said, go. Do you know what I mean?
Matt Rogers
She said, help me, Obi Wan Kenobi.
Bowen Yang
You're my only hope.
Matt Rogers
But here's the thing. She saved herself.
Bowen Yang
She is the hope within and for without.
Matt Rogers
And she bagged Han Solo.

Fuck you, girl.
Matt Rogers
Number 146, Serena Williams. She was also at the party.
Bowen Yang
We didn't meet her, didn't meet her.
Matt Rogers
But incredible tennis player, fashion icon, one.
Bowen Yang
Of the best athletes ever of all time.
Matt Rogers
I bet when they created the term girl boss, she was very top of mind.
Bowen Yang
She was in the deck.
Matt Rogers
She was in the deck when they were all passing around like the girl boss, like lookbook.
Bowen Yang
Lookbook.
Matt Rogers
You know, where they create terms and catchphrases that'll catch on on the zeitgeist.
Bowen Yang
Right? Number 145, R2D2.

That's so crazy that you would call it a not great.
Bowen Yang
People. People widely say that gotta move on.
Matt Rogers
143.
Bowen Yang
Britney Spears beat Steven Sondheim.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. What does Britney mean?
Bowen Yang
Britney means the 90s and the odds. Britney means just being free. All the. The story of Britney Spears is freedom. Right? That's why free Britney is actually a very powerful hashtag. It's like she gave us freedom to, like, enjoy this time in pop culture. That was so fun and messy, but she was never allowed to be messy. And that's what broke her ultimately. You know what I mean?
Matt Rogers
So much to say, but so little time to say it. But luckily, we've done entire episodes on Britney Spears. Check Those out.
Bowen Yang
Number 142, Miranda Priestley. Oh.
Matt Rogers
I mean, it's not everyone that can just come into a room and someone screams, gird your loins.

Matt Rogers
Silly girls?
Bowen Yang
Silly girls.
Matt Rogers
I said take a chance. Hire smart fat girl.
Bowen Yang
Number 141, Michelle Visage. Someone who really is mother.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. Looking out for the girls.
Bowen Yang
I get a text from her every.
Matt Rogers
Month saying, let me know what's happening.
Bowen Yang
She checks in. She really cares.
Matt Rogers
Adore her.
Bowen Yang
Adore her.
Matt Rogers
And can I say, when you're. When you're doing RuPaul's Drag Race, when you're in your guest judging, she's coming up with all that shit on the floor.
Bowen Yang
Oh, yeah, it's crazy.
Matt Rogers
And she's sharp, like, so funny. You think, like, oh, they must be flying in jokes for them. They're not.
Bowen Yang
They're not.
Matt Rogers
They're doing it.

Number 140. Usher. Usher.
Matt Rogers
One of the great moments in my life was watching the Usher Las Vegas residency and a stripper climbed the top of a 20 foot pole with just her thighs and plummeted 20ft and caught herself with her thighs. And that was the culture that was curated by Usher, who, by the way, could have fucked any of us in that building. When you walk in, you were given consent. That was the vibe. We were all concubines.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Courtesans and concubines.
Matt Rogers
We were not good enough to be courtesans. We were concubines. We were low status horrors for Usher at that show.
Bowen Yang
Number 139, Katherine Hahn. High status.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Queen.
Matt Rogers
High status. Witch.
Bowen Yang
Witch.
Matt Rogers
The witch. Truly Agatha all along. You watch WandaVision and when you realize that it had been Agatha all along, you gag. You gag. Also, the new show is great.
Bowen Yang
The new show is really good. It makes total sense to me that she's this, like, Midwestern girl who was like a tech techno head and she just, like, loves Bjork. I'm like this girl. Let's just shout out something.
Matt Rogers
We didn't say. Afternoon delight, Mrs. Fletcher.
Bowen Yang

Bowen Yang
I want that at my wedding. This is the best Food. And I feel healthier.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
I can't goop kitchen. It might be. It might. It might. It might go up against another thing on this list that's further up that I. Oh, yeah.
Matt Rogers
Well, we're going to talk about it, but also we have to just say, I wish you well, the ski trial didn't get enough. And we haven't even talked about anything she's ever acted in. Oh, my God.
Bowen Yang
Anything she's ever acted in. Number one, Mickey Mouse.
Matt Rogers
Truly, like, I would say the Aflac duck of Disney.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, did. Did a lot, though. Yeah. Not. Not like Aflac Duck, where it was.
Matt Rogers
He says a lot.
Bowen Yang
Mickey. Mickey sometimes won't shut the fuck up.
Matt Rogers
No. You know what I do love, though? The. They finally gave Mickey and Minnie a ride. The Runway railway. And they go, nothing can stop us now. It's so good.
Bowen Yang
That's the cutest ride.
Matt Rogers
Mickey and Minnie get into a lot.
Bowen Yang
Of trouble in that ride, but Minnie. Minnie screams more in that ride than she ever screaming.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, she's really a lot. Minnie needs to get those SSRIs together.
Bowen Yang
Oh, my God.
Matt Rogers
Number 136. Daisy. Daisy Duck.
Bowen Yang
Underrated. You know who's obsessed with Daisy Duck? Who? Julio Torres.
Matt Rogers
Really?
Bowen Yang
I think he should write the movie.
Matt Rogers
Oh, that would be so good.
Bowen Yang
But Daisy's like, what's her story?
Matt Rogers
No, she's sidelined.
Bowen Yang
She is so sidelined.
Matt Rogers
She appears.
Bowen Yang
She's the most gorgeous woman ever.
Matt Rogers
She's one of the most stunning creatures. She's Helen of Troy. Beautiful.
Bowen Yang
Helen of Troy, beautiful.
Matt Rogers
One of the things that I love about the Mickey and Minnie runaway really ride is you get to see Daisy element. Which is what? Teaching dance. She teaches dance that we didn't. We don't know that about Daisy Duck. She's a dance teacher. She's a Twilight harp of the Disney community.
Bowen Yang
Oh, my God, you're right. Number 135, love.
Matt Rogers
Oh, yay. Wanna be my lover.
Bowen Yang
Oh, yeah.
Matt Rogers
Remember our dance to that?

We had a whole choreographed dance to that.
Bowen Yang
So. What fun.
Matt Rogers
Oh, man, we need the video.
Bowen Yang
We. We have it somewhere. Labouche. That is the 90s to me. Okay, number 134, Michelle.
Matt Rogers
Michelle.
Bowen Yang
Yo. Can you believe she was on this podcast?
Matt Rogers
I actually cannot believe that that might be the single. See, this is why I like having the guests in person now, because sometimes some of the people that we've had on Virtual, you forget they were on.
Bowen Yang
Forget they were on.
Matt Rogers
Michelle Yeoh did our show the year she won Best.
Bowen Yang
The legend Michelle Yeoh was on this pod. Like, get out.

Bowen Yang
Oh, my God.

Bowen Yang
She's very powerful. No. Can I say she has one moment in the movie where she goes. The wicked witch.
Matt Rogers
Number 133, Enrique Iglesias. Important to my sexual formation.

Matt Rogers
I think driver's license changed a lot of things.
Bowen Yang
Oh, yeah. It brought pop girls. It brought pop girls into a new generation.
Matt Rogers
It did. I think it brought like confessional emotion forward again. And also the fact that her first thing was like a ballad like that. I was like, you better announce yourself with this real ass song. You know what I mean?
Bowen Yang
And I will say the fun songs are fun.
Matt Rogers
The fun songs are so fun. Love is embarrassing live. I just saw her at tour. There was like a whole choreograph thing. I'm telling you that both her albums are great. 131Banksy.

Matt Rogers
I'll never forget being at Saturday Night Live and seeing her nine months pregnant when I used to go to be on the standby line. When I. When I was 18 years old and my heart was breaking because I was closeted and didn't know what to do, I decided to Google the person I respected most in this world. That was Amy Poehler. And that was why I auditioned for Hammer groups at NYU and went to ucb. Because I literally said, who is the person I respect most in the world and how did they do what they did?
Bowen Yang
She's only 127. Interesting.
Matt Rogers
Well, that's pretty high up. She made the list. Okay, 126.
