Matt Rogers
This is an I heart podcast.
Bowen Yang
Do you know what the perfect addition is to any party?
Aaron Jackson
What?
Bowen Yang
A Casamigos margarita.
Aaron Jackson
Everyone loves a Casamigos margarita. She really is that girl.
Bowen Yang
It's true. Everyone can get behind her.
Aaron Jackson
She's a little tangy, little sweet. She's good.
Bowen Yang
Any which way Anything goes with my Casamigos.
Aaron Jackson
And that's rule of culture number 87.
Bowen Yang
Because anything goes with my Casamigos. Please drink responsibly. Imported by Casamigos Spirits Company, White Plains, New York. Casamigos Tequila. 40% alcohol by volume. Summer is quickly approaching and there's no better time to make sure you're feeling your best. Keep your gut health in check with the help of health aid Kombucha. It's powered with probiotics, which helps you feel less bloated. Plus it's made with real fruit juice, so it's deliciously refreshing. With so many delicious flavors like pink lady apple, passion fruit tangerine and pomegranate blueberry, it's the perfect bubbly beverage to enjoy as the weather heats up. Look for the brown bottle with an anchor on it at a store near you.
Aaron Jackson
Matt, I know you agree with me, but I've always felt that it's important to set standards for yourself.
Bowen Yang
I.
Matt Rogers
Are.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Important. Yes. I think I do agree.
Aaron Jackson
I think I have a standard of living and a standard of loving.
Bowen Yang
I should have a better standard of loving. Joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke. Anyway, the standard Lexus has set for themselves, it's to experience amazing Lexus benchmarks.
Aaron Jackson
Are feelings like exhilaration and joy when you're behind the wheel. A feeling in drivers that their car was built in anticipation of them.
Bowen Yang
Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing experience. Amazing at your Lexus dealer.
Aaron Jackson
This ad is brought to you by the Spam brand.
Bowen Yang
We know as well as anyone that culture and food go hand in hand. And Spam Classic is an important part of many cultural dishes like tasty Spam musubi. This popular sushi inspired Hawaiian dish features a slice of perfectly sizzled Spam Classic on top of rice and wrapped with nori, ready to be picked up and chowed down.
Aaron Jackson
I would buy Spam Musubi every day in Japan at 7:11. So no matter what type of cultural recipe you're about to cook up, make it even more flavorful with Spam products. Spam Classic, Sizzle pork and learn more.
Bowen Yang
And get sizzling@spam.com look man, there. Oh, I see my. Oh my. Bowen look over there.
Aaron Jackson
Wow. Is that culture?
Bowen Yang
Yes. Goodness, yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Las culturistas.
Bowen Yang
Ding dong. Las culturistas calling. Well, this episode was supposed to start a different way.
Josh Sharp
Tell them of the bit.
Bowen Yang
Tell them of the bit.
Aaron Jackson
Even better. Even better.
Josh Sharp
Let's do the bit.
Bowen Yang
I felt like, wasn't feeling like a safe environment for the bit once I brought it to the floor.
Aaron Jackson
No. 1 let's.
Bowen Yang
Let's try the bit. Here was going to be the bit. The bit was going to be Bowen and Josh Sharp start the show as if nothing. No one was the wiser.
Matt Rogers
But tell them why.
Bowen Yang
Because Aaron and I came today sort of wearing a shirt shirt, button down, sort of like button down shirts with.
Matt Rogers
Like a bold statement, sort of bold.
Bowen Yang
Patterns, bright statements and bold patterns.
Aaron Jackson
Bright colors and bold patterns.
Josh Sharp
Drew Droge.
Aaron Jackson
Drew droghe.
Bowen Yang
Was I referencing it? And therefore was the correction right to do.
Matt Rogers
I was. It was a riff, not a correction.
Bowen Yang
Oh, can you tell my guard is up?
Matt Rogers
Yeah. You seem hackled.
Bowen Yang
So.
Aaron Jackson
But this is where it started to break down. Bit wise was Josh and I are wearing T shirts. Aaron and Matt are wearing button downs.
Bowen Yang
With both statements and bright patterns. Right.
Aaron Jackson
And so not a Drew Droghe reference.
Matt Rogers
Not a Drew Droghe reference.
Bowen Yang
Title of app.
Aaron Jackson
Title of app.
Josh Sharp
Not a Drew Droghi reference. Title of app.
Aaron Jackson
But I think it just. It broke down because Matt was saying, okay, so then Josh and Matt as in I. As in Matt, Josh and I will start the show.
Matt Rogers
Bowen is playing. No, I never said to grab Matt.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, right now I'm playing.
Bowen Yang
I do think ultimately, let's try it.
Josh Sharp
Let us try it.
Bowen Yang
Sure. Okay, start the show.
Josh Sharp
Three, two, one. Ding dong.
Bowen Yang
This is where it broke down.
Aaron Jackson
I said, Matt said that Matt and Josh would be the host of the show, that Aaron and I would come in later.
Bowen Yang
That doesn't make any goddamn sense. Because I said if. Both. If. If. Okay, if Aaron and I were both wearing statement shirts with bright colors and bold patterns, we would sit on one couch and you and Joshua, who are both in more simple teas, would start the show.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Let us start.
Bowen Yang
Try again.
Aaron Jackson
Let's try again.
Josh Sharp
Two, one.
Aaron Jackson
Ding, ding dong.
Josh Sharp
Culturist is calling Gar Epic. Orlando was universal, y' all. It was the universal experience for the guys, GS and gays.
Matt Rogers
Now wait, I. Now that the bit keeps going. You were to be Matt.
Bowen Yang
Were you to be the guest.
Aaron Jackson
You were to be Matt would have been the guest.
Bowen Yang
Can I just say what the dream of the bit was? And maybe if with more time, we could have executed the bit is if.
Josh Sharp
We have a year for Bowen gang.
Bowen Yang
And Josh Sharp had started the podcast and not said anything. It was just Bowen and Josh starting it. And then we come in, me and Aaron Jackson, and we don't even mention.
Aaron Jackson
You gave Josh and I the keys to your car, which makes us feel a little. A little.
Bowen Yang
Y' all didn't know how to drive stick.
Aaron Jackson
But it was. It's your car that you. You were like, I've got a car. Y' all drive.
Josh Sharp
It's a beautiful Honda crv. You screamed at us.
Bowen Yang
I guess I thought that the instructions for how to drive the car were clearer than they were.
Matt Rogers
It' kind of an I didn't know you guys style bit. That really just with the forms.
Bowen Yang
What's crazy is I didn't even think it was that crazy. I didn't think it.
Matt Rogers
Not address it.
Aaron Jackson
It was not.
Bowen Yang
That's.
Aaron Jackson
It was communicated.
Josh Sharp
And this is what to me, it's.
Matt Rogers
The bit is what is so shocking.
Josh Sharp
This is episode 14 or 15 of the pod, right?
Bowen Yang
We barely started it.
Matt Rogers
Forever, dog.
Josh Sharp
Forever. Dog that out.
Matt Rogers
Cut that out.
Bowen Yang
We're fledgling. You know what's funny is what year are we. People have been begging for this. People have been begging for this.
Aaron Jackson
We're in your $9 year.
Matt Rogers
Nine.
Aaron Jackson
You're wearing your.
Josh Sharp
Yes. And the cacophony is back.
Matt Rogers
It's. This is an Obama era podcast.
Josh Sharp
I never forget.
Aaron Jackson
Yes.
Bowen Yang
Technically, it's. It was the last months of the Obama presidency.
Matt Rogers
So then.
Josh Sharp
Yes.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, I'm. I'm sorry. Do not raise your voice.
Matt Rogers
I didn't.
Josh Sharp
I didn't.
Bowen Yang
So why. What would you guys say was the culture that made you say culture was for you?
Matt Rogers
Because I knew you.
Josh Sharp
Because I knew.
Bowen Yang
I've never been to New York because I knew you.
Matt Rogers
I didn't really get culture until two weeks ago on Thursday night.
Bowen Yang
And then you saw what culture was when you saw Rosie o' Donnell.
Matt Rogers
When I saw Rosie o' donnell. Have a great Emmy winning guest star.
Aaron Jackson
Right? Y' all went. Y' all learned about culture at the Omar Tony's party, which we were not invited to.
Matt Rogers
You didn't get the invite?
Aaron Jackson
Well, I don't think we did.
Bowen Yang
I actually don't think we did. Which is okay. Cause just going to say over Cole.
Matt Rogers
Is mad at you.
Aaron Jackson
I think so.
Matt Rogers
And for what?
Aaron Jackson
I don't know, but apparently.
Josh Sharp
And are you mad at Cole now?
Aaron Jackson
They are now.
Matt Rogers
I'm in a way to say yes.
Bowen Yang
Or no for a likely yes, but I'm in a way.
Matt Rogers
Okay.
Bowen Yang
Was it a political Way to say if I'm mad.
Aaron Jackson
I see.
Bowen Yang
Because what were you going to say?
Aaron Jackson
I think it's all, I'm only mad at Cole if they're mad at me. Does that make sense? And that. That it's tit for tat and that happens all the time.
Josh Sharp
I'm.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
I think it's same with crushes. So you might not realize you're into someone until they say, I'm into you, and you say, oh, mutual. Yeah, let's boogie.
Aaron Jackson
But then does that. Does that make you second guess it at all? You're like, oh, this was contingent on them having a crush on me.
Matt Rogers
To me, no, it's propose.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
It's proposed.
Aaron Jackson
Proposed anal or marriage.
Matt Rogers
Oh, penetrative anal.
Bowen Yang
Well, I mean, someone being attracted to you is a turn on, right? Wouldn't you say? Yes, it's one of other guys best qualities when they want to fucking attract it to me.
Matt Rogers
My favorite thing about you is that you like me.
Josh Sharp
True.
Bowen Yang
Actually a good, like, greeting card. My favorite thing about you. And you open it. Is that you like me.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Winky face, emoji, happy. Whatever.
Matt Rogers
Request.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Really? As host.
Matt Rogers
She is hosting.
Josh Sharp
As host. Allow me to say. That's a rule of culture.
Aaron Jackson
That's a rule of culture.
Josh Sharp
Wait, what was my favorite thing about you is that you like me.
Bowen Yang
Oh, which. Which number is that?
Josh Sharp
That's 1691.
Aaron Jackson
My favorite thing about you is that you like me. Now, I just want to go back to something that Aaron put out there. Oh, a card and a Venmo request. I just want to. Can I. Can I. Can I observe something? Part of Aaron's sort of lexicon of comedy is Joella with Venmo. I mentioned a Venmo or Joella or both, as in a call to action. Venmo Joella.
Josh Sharp
And it's funny where you describe that as comedic because I would say incredibly serious.
Matt Rogers
It both can be true.
Josh Sharp
Yes. Thank you.
Bowen Yang
Wait, maybe pause and Venmo Joella. I do have to say that the title of EP has to be.
Aaron Jackson
So can we explain who Joella is?
Matt Rogers
Joella was a Drag Race contestant on season I'm not 1749.
Aaron Jackson
49.
Josh Sharp
And if you don't know that, don't listen to this podcast.
Bowen Yang
Just Venmo Joa.
Josh Sharp
This is the wrong podcast for you.
Matt Rogers
Two episode run. Would we say three?
Bowen Yang
I think three.
Matt Rogers
And it was. Since I would say sensational.
Aaron Jackson
Absolutely sensational.
Josh Sharp
A lot.
Matt Rogers
With a little.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, I think history will look back kindly on this season.
Matt Rogers
She'll probably get brought back at some point it was so. I mean, she really made a mark.
Bowen Yang
Can I say, like, I was almost ready to say something snide when you said she'll probably get brought back soon because I feel like they're bringing everybody back for All Stars. But then I will also say I'm kind of eating my hat with the girls that I thought weren't going to give on All Stars. Cuz I'm enjoying.
Josh Sharp
They're giving and giving.
Bowen Yang
They're giving and gaping and gaping. The guy Venmo, Joella.
Josh Sharp
Venmo Joa, Mojo, Ella.
Bowen Yang
I give them all propers because I'm entertained thoroughly the.
Matt Rogers
The Tournament of All Stars.
Bowen Yang
I like the tournament. I like 666.
Matt Rogers
Me too. Oh, devil.
Bowen Yang
I said what I said.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, devil.
Bowen Yang
Devilish.
Matt Rogers
Devilish Satan.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Play this podcast while you watch wizard of Oz. Think them up and you will. Sweet to the devil.
Matt Rogers
Josh and I were at the gay bar Twist in Miam, Florida and legendary weekend Mayhem, Lady Gaga's Mayhem came out.
Bowen Yang
Sure.
Matt Rogers
And in that front bar, if you've ever been, it's sort of just casual with televisions. And they played Mayhem and started House of Gucci at the same time as if it was wizard of Oz.
Josh Sharp
It synced up. I don't know that that's anytime.
Matt Rogers
Just like Adrien Brody. If it would like cut. Not Adrien Brody.
Aaron Jackson
Jared Leto. No, Adam Driver.
Matt Rogers
Adam Driver. It would like cut.
Bowen Yang
Adam Driver.
Matt Rogers
There's an a.
Aaron Jackson
Sorry.
Bowen Yang
Adam just would.
Matt Rogers
If it was like on the beat and would cut to him, we'd just scre.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
They sing up on the beat. So just like.
Bowen Yang
To take you to the garden on Gucci. Oh, my garden.
Matt Rogers
Screaming. So anyway, everybody do that Venmo Joelle. Pause the podcast. Venmo, Joelle. Joelle pause again. Sync up with House of Coochie.
Aaron Jackson
An hour long album with a two hour long movie. Yes.
Bowen Yang
Loop the tri ski. Do you have a suggested donation to Joella or is it sort of pay.
Matt Rogers
What you can pay what you will, honey. If you are going to a Pride event.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
That costs over $50. At least $6,000. And that's.
Aaron Jackson
That's what radio had said about in Rainbows in 2007. They said.
Josh Sharp
They said. Tom said if you're going to a Pride event, it's over $50.
Aaron Jackson
Pay us $6,000 for this album.
Bowen Yang
I got to tell you, one of my biggest cultural blind spots is radio.
Aaron Jackson
That's okay.
Matt Rogers
Oh, they're always crack my top five.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
What? Is that true?
Matt Rogers
That's my big.
Bowen Yang
You. I Believe I didn't know that. You're listening to the fucking revival of Parade. You're listening to Ragtime obc.
Matt Rogers
I'm listening to obc. Can I give time?
Josh Sharp
Can I give to your people one of the kindest things you've ever done? Because you know me, Aaron and Patrick are big Bjork girls.
Bowen Yang
Yes.
Josh Sharp
So when her last album came out, we got a text from you that said, girls, I wanted you to know. I really tried to listen to the New York album, but I had to turn it off. Halfway through, I found a lot of the imagery. Imagery to be disturbing.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
And we all did. I really appreciate this. I mean, that you put that effort.
Matt Rogers
Is from a Weird Girl. A Weird Girl album. She has more like. This is a song with a chorus type of album.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. I mean, I. Here's the thing.
Josh Sharp
I.
Bowen Yang
There's nothing like. Sort of like being in Fire island and watching all your sisters vibe on. I think it was some. Some hallucinogenic. And watching you not just listen to, but commune with both nature and Bjork together.
Josh Sharp
I was existing inside of a Bjork song.
Aaron Jackson
It's from off Espertine. What was the song that we were invited?
Josh Sharp
Hunter.
Aaron Jackson
Not Hunter. No, no, Offspertine. Where? It was the. With, like, where.
Matt Rogers
Oh, that's Diaphilia. We were listening to Crystalline.
Aaron Jackson
Crystalline. Yes, yes, yes.
Bowen Yang
The best song is FKI Twigs, one of the daughters of Bjork.
Matt Rogers
Absolutely. Yeah. Kind of all of them are.
Josh Sharp
There's many.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Sega Bodega is the daughter of Bjork. Caroline Polachek's the daughter of Bjork.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. You know, feel that way.
Aaron Jackson
Wait, I didn't know you were a metalhead.
Josh Sharp
Well, I like hardcore style talk.
Aaron Jackson
So Josh is wearing a turnstile.
Josh Sharp
I'm really trying to get gay guys into turnstile this summer.
Aaron Jackson
Everyone was at the Turnstile show the other week.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Who. Who would you describe as everyone? Because I wish there were more people.
Bowen Yang
Of all shapes and sizes, basically. When we're talking about everyone, there's no real signifier. It would just be anyone you could think of could be there in that moment when we say everyone.
Josh Sharp
And I want to take back that question. Cut that question from the episode.
Matt Rogers
No, don't, don't, don't cut.
Bowen Yang
I say the cuts for everyone.
Aaron Jackson
Torres styles for everyone.
Josh Sharp
I had something.
Aaron Jackson
You should go. We should go.
Josh Sharp
You should go. It is. I find hardcore. It's like a queer space where it's sort of radically.
Aaron Jackson
I didn't mean to say metal.
Josh Sharp
Yeah, but hardcore, hardcore, hardcore. People Are erratically accepting in a way that queer people are. You know, they're like all shapes, all sizes get in the pit.
Matt Rogers
You know, Radically accepting. Yeah, I just didn't hear you correct.
Josh Sharp
I love hardcore music. I love Fugazi. Gay guys should get into Fugazi. Gay guys should get into Fucked Up. Gay guys should get into Turnstile.
Aaron Jackson
I like Fucked Up.
Josh Sharp
I love Canadian. You're Canadian.
Aaron Jackson
Civilian.
Bowen Yang
How would gay guys benefit from getting into this particular music? I need to know, what is it about gay men that they're missing that can be found in this genre?
Matt Rogers
Pop doesn't have a lot of rage, age. And I do think there's. You would.
Bowen Yang
Haven't heard Olivia. Rodrigo.
Aaron Jackson
Sure.
Matt Rogers
Other than Olivia. I sung it live with you.
Bowen Yang
That was a sad moment. You haven't heard her. Really?
Matt Rogers
She says the F word in that song.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Can we cuss them?
Josh Sharp
Can we cuss on this pod?
Bowen Yang
Yeah, you can cuss. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Okay.
Josh Sharp
She's a bug.
Bowen Yang
See, that wasn't the one. I was expecting.
Matt Rogers
Cameras.
Bowen Yang
You're catching me off guard in this climate. That's for sure.
Matt Rogers
But I think you might like Radiohead. Yeah. Because Josh always says Tom York taught Josh Vibrato.
Josh Sharp
Yeah. That's one of our great male singers. I know you're lacking in male singers. You like something else we learned in Fire Islands.
Matt Rogers
We said, name your favorite male singer. It took you so long. And then you said, Stevie Wonder, question mark I.
Bowen Yang
But I. Well, did I arrive at a Slayer wall?
Matt Rogers
No, you're right.
Bowen Yang
That's a great answer.
Matt Rogers
I don't think you're funny.
Josh Sharp
It's not so much that you disparage male singers. You just worship female singers so much.
Bowen Yang
Can I ask you a question? Is. Is there room for the possibility that maybe I being thoughtful in the answer that I gave? And that's why there was a little bit of time. Maybe y' all need to be more thoughtful before. The way you shout out.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, you're right.
Bowen Yang
The way you shout out.
Aaron Jackson
Maybe you need to be more thoughtful.
Josh Sharp
There is room for the idea that you were being thoughtful in that moment. You weren't.
Matt Rogers
But there's room.
Josh Sharp
But there's room.
Aaron Jackson
But, Tommy, we are more united than ever.
Josh Sharp
United than ever.
Bowen Yang
The four of us.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, my God. Power of the room. Power of the room.
Bowen Yang
Power of the room.
Josh Sharp
Power of the dog.
Bowen Yang
What if I just didn't let it go the whole time and he just really started to fight and I just didn't.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. My tender wrists.
Aaron Jackson
What do you think? What should. What's. What's Matt's syllabus on Radiohead. You think?
Bowen Yang
I think.
Aaron Jackson
Okay.
Josh Sharp
Computer. Rainbows. I sometimes find rainbows. That's a really good starter.
Matt Rogers
Prettier music. Okay.
Josh Sharp
The Benz has a lot of rage.
Aaron Jackson
The Benz is good.
Matt Rogers
I love the Benz is like. First chorus. First chorus, which is nice.
Josh Sharp
But I'd be curious what you think of in Rainbows.
Matt Rogers
In Rainbows. Really?
Bowen Yang
Okay, I'll start there. I really will.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
And I'll send you a Bjork esque text. Hi, guys. How is everyone doing today? I want you to know I started in Rainbows and I got approximately six songs in before I found the imagery disturbing.
Aaron Jackson
It's not disturbing. It really is a gorgeous little.
Matt Rogers
But then it gets really pretty.
Bowen Yang
I guess if being called in Rainbows, that would sort of, you know, assuage us of the idea there's going to be terrors within the Sonic last year.
Aaron Jackson
Now there's a song on In Rainbows called, called House of Cards. It's not about the TV show, so don't get scared of that.
Matt Rogers
All right. Spacy reference.
Bowen Yang
No, but how great was he on that? You know, bring him back. How great was he?
Josh Sharp
Oh, he should be. He should replace Cole.
Bowen Yang
That would be good.
Aaron Jackson
Spacey was Mary Todd Cole.
Josh Sharp
Cole. Talk about drag queen. Please put Kevin Spacy in O Mary.
Bowen Yang
There's no drag queen doing anything as subversive as Kevin Spacy. As Omar.
Matt Rogers
Joella accepting Joelle accepting Joella Venmo.
Josh Sharp
Joella. Kevin Spacey. Zell. Kevin Spacey.
Aaron Jackson
Actually, this is the actual casting. Joella as Mary.
Josh Sharp
Yes.
Aaron Jackson
Kevin Spacey as Abe.
Josh Sharp
Yes.
Aaron Jackson
As Mary's husband and who's Mary's teacher?
Bowen Yang
James Scully reprises. He goes back.
Aaron Jackson
No one does it better.
Matt Rogers
No, no. How could you beat the best? Could you beat? Whereas the other two can easily be beat.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. The Tony nominees, I think Cole and Conrad. I mean, I've seen it.
Matt Rogers
I've seen it.
Bowen Yang
You know what I mean? And we're medical and we're.
Aaron Jackson
Remember earlier, how was the party?
Josh Sharp
Joyful.
Matt Rogers
A total gag.
Aaron Jackson
A gag and joyful. Oh, I love that.
Josh Sharp
Joyful.
Aaron Jackson
Please be. Please be earnest.
Josh Sharp
Well, this year we found. We were saying how much, like many of our dear friends were nominated for.
Matt Rogers
This was crazy.
Bowen Yang
I've seen it twice. I've actually. I actually went two days in a row.
Josh Sharp
And you talked about it on the pod. Maybe even I talked about it, but.
Bowen Yang
I would love to talk about it again.
Josh Sharp
Something for them to know. Is that Kimmy Bellock who wrote it, who's incredible?
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Grew up with my boyfriend in the, like, one stoplight rural town.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
And so they, as teenagers, pledged to be like, if you ever get nominated for a Tony, I'll take you. And so they.
Aaron Jackson
Blake went so good.
Bowen Yang
I will say he did look. He looked fantastic.
Josh Sharp
Plus one. Who made the carpet and the vogue right up.
Matt Rogers
And then. Have you seen Dead Outlaw starring Andrew Durant?
Bowen Yang
Not yet. I am an Andrew Duran fan. I loved him in Shocked.
Aaron Jackson
Shocked. He was so good and shocked.
Matt Rogers
Spring Awakening Ink over in the West End.
Aaron Jackson
Why did they ever bring that here? Because we're dumb. Because America, I think it.
Matt Rogers
I think it didn't, like, run that long. I don't think it ran that long there.
Bowen Yang
The.
Matt Rogers
No offense.
Bowen Yang
The show history. A show with jokes, a show with real jokes made me realize last night, I saw Alex Newell at the Mets Pride game. She sang the national anthem down.
Josh Sharp
I bet she did.
Bowen Yang
Taking it back.
Josh Sharp
One of the few who's probably like, could we raise it? Actually, can we make it higher?
Bowen Yang
And then Jeremiah Brent threw out the first pitch. Oh, yep.
Matt Rogers
And I saw Jan was there in the full get up.
Bowen Yang
Jan is one of my favorite people to kind of just sing it at a.
Aaron Jackson
She's saying the national anthem.
Bowen Yang
They were saying in the K corner, so. So Jan was giving pre shows, and they kept calling it the K corner. And I was like, girl. What? Thinking they were like, a gay guy and talking about the ketamine reference. It just means where they knock up, where all the. The. The strikeouts happen. So let me just say, guys need.
Josh Sharp
To listen to hardcore music. You need to stop thinking K means ketamine.
Bowen Yang
You realize it means strikeout. So this is a big difference between straight and queer culture is K to straight men means strikeout, and K to gay men means ketamine. This is one way we can start to have a conversation and a dialogue.
Josh Sharp
Well, and it's also class. You're talking about working class. For the 1%, k is thousands. 100k, 200k, it's money, y' all. Fight the rich, eat the rich man.
Aaron Jackson
And then for scientists, it's Kelvin.
Matt Rogers
Yes, Kelvin.
Josh Sharp
Yes, absolutely.
Bowen Yang
And for Kim Kardashian, it's her first and last name.
Josh Sharp
Mm.
Aaron Jackson
Mm.
Bowen Yang
Oh, my gosh. Belle. We've been wanting this icon on our show forever.
Aaron Jackson
Forever. I cannot believe she's here. Readers, Katie's publicist finalists, please welcome one of the biggest pop girlies of the summer, Megan One of Bowen.
Megan Thee Stallion
I think we know I'm one of one, right?
Aaron Jackson
You're the only one.
Megan Thee Stallion
Thank you. I'll admit I Kind of thought I was too big for this podcast, but then Gaga and Chapel stopped in, so I figured it was worth my time.
Aaron Jackson
Yes, well, we are honored that you're here with us.
Megan Thee Stallion
I know the gays do love me.
Bowen Yang
They do. We do. And I love that you're giving us the perfect movie to cap off Pride Month.
Megan Thee Stallion
It really is gonna be hot Meg Summer. And I'm happy to give my people a place to sit, rest, and scream at the end of June. So keep a little in the tank, boys.
Aaron Jackson
Well, we cannot wait. But, Megan, I don't mean to ask an indelicate question, but weren't you kind of dead at the end of the last movie?
Megan Thee Stallion
Being deactivated was actually great for me because I got to renegotiate my deal for the sequel. And let's just say, as mother, I was only going to reboot if the price was right.
Aaron Jackson
Yes, you have to advocate for yourself. Get what you are worth, girl.
Megan Thee Stallion
Oh, I am. Don't you worry. Or maybe you should.
Bowen Yang
You look amazing. I feel like you look like you've had a little bit of a refresh. Like the glam is working. Are you doing anything different in your routine?
Megan Thee Stallion
Aren't we all working on ourselves all the time? Matt? I got taller, faster, stronger, fierce.
Bowen Yang
Wellness is so important. I agree. We have to self care.
Megan Thee Stallion
And I do care a lot about myself.
Aaron Jackson
Okay, Megan, are you ready for this week's I don't think so, honey.
Megan Thee Stallion
It was so hard for me to pick just one. Let's do it.
Aaron Jackson
This is Megan's. I don't think so, honey. Her time starts now.
Megan Thee Stallion
I don't think so, honey. With height restrictions on roller coasters, it's high discrimination and frankly, absurd. And what about the Met Gala being a human only event? I don't think so, Anna. Oh, and I don't think so, honey with Chucky. If you're gonna represent the killer doll community, you gotta put a little more effort in there. It's called a comb. Oh, and I really don't think so, honey. With superheroes, nobody can really pull off a cape. Like the trend is over and was never cute. How about something with a little more, I don't know, homicide for your entertainment dollar? I also don't think so, honey.
Aaron Jackson
And that's one minute. Wow, that was a lot.
Megan Thee Stallion
Yeah, sorry, a lot. Pisses me off.
Bowen Yang
Feels good to let it out, though. Well, it's been a delight to have you on, babe.
Megan Thee Stallion
The honor really was yours. One more thing, fellas. I think you should update what you call your listeners.
Aaron Jackson
What do you mean?
Megan Thee Stallion
I mean readers, publicists and Megans. If you see one movie this summer, obviously go see Megan 2.0 in theaters June 27th. And if you only see two, see Megan twice. I don't wear a cape for crying out loud.
Bowen Yang
Okay, we'll be there.
Megan Thee Stallion
Happy pride, boys.
Bowen Yang
Happy pride.
Aaron Jackson

Matt Rogers
Clouds is out. Have you seen that? Just a little bb.
Josh Sharp
Whatever.
Aaron Jackson
Clouds is that. What is this?
Matt Rogers
She is a TikTok, but back in the day, just an Instagram star. And she used to. Now she does like all sex toys. Like that's her. Or then lube and stuff.
Josh Sharp
But she used to give inspirational messages. And often they were done where you could only see her nails on camera.
Matt Rogers
And she had this crazy blue synthetic wigs.
Aaron Jackson
Okay, we're getting visual.
Bowen Yang
Where you going?
Matt Rogers
Oh, yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, that's great.
Bowen Yang
Oh, that's really good. I'm actually really interested in how that.
Matt Rogers
For everyone listening at home, Josh just crawled on the ground and went to camera and made claws.
Aaron Jackson
And I want us. And I want us in the video to not use that angle.
Bowen Yang
And I want.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, it's that one.
Matt Rogers
You're being told to go that way.
Josh Sharp
I'm being told to do it again.
Aaron Jackson
No, no. And then. And then we're gonna use the opposite camera.
Bowen Yang
That's interesting.
Aaron Jackson
She'd be like, don't use the wide eyes, please.
Matt Rogers
So I just got a delicious.
Aaron Jackson
Actually that. That's very muppety pipe.
Bowen Yang
I am seeing what it's doing in the video was really working.
Josh Sharp
And she would have nails, nails, nails.
Matt Rogers
One time she was wearing a blue wig and like eating a lollipop. And she goes, if you're having yourself a bad day, ask yourself why she suck your lollipop. She goes, living in Los Angeles.
Josh Sharp
Here I am in Los Angeles.
Matt Rogers
Trouble don't last for always, bitch.
Josh Sharp
So we say that a lot. Trouble don't last for always, bitch.
Matt Rogers
I have watched that video when experiencing.
Josh Sharp
Depression I'm shaped for when I'm having a down and I watch her go. Trouble don't last always living in Los Angeles, houses out.
Aaron Jackson
Trouble don't last for always.
Josh Sharp
Bitch.
Aaron Jackson
That ain't is beautiful. That is a simplified way of what I've been saying lately, which is a little bit eye rolly, but I'm like. Despair is a transitional phase.
Matt Rogers
Yes.
Aaron Jackson
Trouble to last for always.
Josh Sharp
It's really.
Bowen Yang
It's two ways of saying that.
Aaron Jackson
Absolutely.
Bowen Yang
100.
Josh Sharp
I have to say this too.
Matt Rogers
Wig blowing like a. Oh, yeah. I mean, come on. That's what she says too.
Josh Sharp
I mean, come on.
Bowen Yang
Wig blowing like a. Trouble don't last always.
Matt Rogers
We'll send it to you. It's beautiful. Beautiful. You can put it in the Instagram.
Bowen Yang
Last for always is very much a sibling of ain't Miss God.
Josh Sharp
They're cousins. They're kin. Okay. Oh. Merry party. Fabulous. For Cole to win. To Sam to win.
Aaron Jackson
Incredible. Stunning.
Josh Sharp
Deserve it.
Bowen Yang
That deserve talent.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, my God.
Josh Sharp
Then I linked up with Blake and Kimmy and we ended the night. Kimmy, who should be on the pod at some point. Actually, she would be really good. Blake too, but he'd be less fun. That's a quote probably from him. He'd agree. Then we ended our night at the Plaza Hotel getting banana splits on room service at 6 in the morning.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, I love that.
Josh Sharp
Heaven.
Aaron Jackson
Heavenly.
Matt Rogers
And Josh also was going to pine that day. And he came much later.
Josh Sharp
I did not make it on the.
Aaron Jackson
Morning ferry because he, you know, did the booger sugar.
Josh Sharp
Yeah. A banana split at six in the morning.
Aaron Jackson
The snow that goes up.
Matt Rogers
The snow that goes up.
Aaron Jackson
I had the snow.
Josh Sharp
The banana split splopes.
Aaron Jackson
Now, we didn't even get a chance to mention this because we did not bring y' all in, but I'm Erin, you're Aaron, and this is Josh.
Josh Sharp
Aaron is on Sandino. I'm on Women and Men.
Matt Rogers
I'm Sandino.
Bowen Yang
I didn't even realize that didn't happen.
Aaron Jackson
Well, we just have to quickly plug. Cause we said the name Sam Pinkleton. Tony Winning Sam Pinkleton, who is now directing Josh's show at the Greenwich house Theater. That's July 7th, called Ta Da.
Matt Rogers
Yes.
Josh Sharp
I'm doing the canonical one man off Broadway experience.
Aaron Jackson
I'm gagged. I'm so excited. I'm coming on opening night. Night.
Bowen Yang
Yes, you said that.
Aaron Jackson
The opening night is July 7th. You're.
Bowen Yang
You'll be gone, I'll be back in LA. There'll be other chances, but I'm coming.
Josh Sharp
Cuz it runs through August 23rd.
Aaron Jackson
Maybe.
Bowen Yang
And maybe I'll see a preview.
Josh Sharp
Absolute.
Bowen Yang
How about that?
Josh Sharp
Seven shows a week.
Bowen Yang
Are you going to be on your. Your vocal health game? You better.
Josh Sharp
I'm going have to be on my.
Bowen Yang
Vocal health game even for plays, you know.
Aaron Jackson
Still talking.
Josh Sharp
You're still talking.
Bowen Yang
He's the only one in the voice.
Josh Sharp
I can't. I don't have a scene partner to yak yak. Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Do you have an understanding?
Josh Sharp
No. Me, actually.
Aaron Jackson
That would be gag. People would love that.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. I'll talk about my deep, personal, specific life experience.
Bowen Yang
I loved Josh's show. Did you see Aaron?
Matt Rogers
Aaron actually really amazing when he talks about his mom.
Josh Sharp
Good. Josh is good. But when Aaron talks about he found Josh battle with ovarian cancer, it really sings. Literally Aaron sings along the way.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, it was so good. He was amazing. When his mom knew he was gay but didn't know how to broach the subject.
Bowen Yang
Oh, you know, because I didn't think Josh was. That Kevin was really sexy in the role. He looks very in his body. I think since he's come out, he's become even better.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Bowen Yang
We'll never know if Kevin Spacey was a better actor as an out gay man, you know?
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
When he was outed after he was.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
We don't have to talk. We don't.
Matt Rogers
Well, someone has to.
Josh Sharp
Well, I just got my. I don't think so. Honey.
Bowen Yang
There's no conversations happening. Everyone's too afraid. Don't you think? Everyone's too afraid.
Josh Sharp
Everyone is too afraid to get into it.
Bowen Yang
Too afraid to make Spacey jokes. Lest Instagram find out and say, hey, here's a grab of them talking about how they wish Spacey was given another chance to become an out gay actor.
Matt Rogers
When did we lose him to society's disdain? Oh, God.
Josh Sharp
I think when people thought about raised minors.
Matt Rogers
I want to know the year.
Bowen Yang
I don't remember. I'm going to imagine 2017.
Matt Rogers
You think it was in the big. Me too.
Josh Sharp
You think he did it right after your pod started? You think they were late?
Bowen Yang
I think, yeah. I mean, House of Cards has been. What was going on from like 2011.
Aaron Jackson
Can I say 2012? Say it. Pilot episode ago. I've seen Malcolm in the Middle. I've seen the to camera turning this off.
Matt Rogers
I've never. I'm not whispering. I didn't like House of Car. You never liked it season one, but.
Josh Sharp
I can get loud too. I didn't like House of Cars.
Matt Rogers
It's a Sandra Diaz twine.
Bowen Yang
Oh, we also. We Got to talk about. We got to talk about the Traders cast too.
Matt Rogers
Oh, yeah. And no one wants to really talk about Australia versus the world Survivor, which.
Josh Sharp
Is really the big event.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
I would love to know more. Please educate.
Josh Sharp
I love. I do too.
Matt Rogers
This is dull as hell.
Bowen Yang
Australia.
Matt Rogers
Australian Survivor is now the superior franchise. Franchise.
Josh Sharp
Oh, please.
Bowen Yang
Absolutely.
Matt Rogers
Has been for a few years.
Aaron Jackson
And Australia versus the world is All Stars.
Matt Rogers
All Stars from all the. The franchises. But there's, like, I'm just gonna make up numbers, like eight Australian Survivor players and then eight internationals. And the US we have are Tony, Parvati, and Serene.
Aaron Jackson
Wow.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Pretty good stuff. And one of the Aussie people is David, the golden God.
Matt Rogers
David, the golden God. Shawnee.
Bowen Yang
Shawnee.
Matt Rogers
King George.
Bowen Yang
Oh, yeah. These. This is a good group.
Matt Rogers
Actress Pia's friend Joanne or whatever her.
Bowen Yang
Name is, like, favorite Survivor winner of all.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, I've heard about actress Pia. Actress P. So tell everyone about actress Pia.
Matt Rogers
Actress Pia.
Bowen Yang
I don't know what that was.
Matt Rogers
On a great season with Luke Taki, and he's gonna be back.
Bowen Yang
I love Luke.
Matt Rogers
Luke Taki won Australia. Big brother.
Josh Sharp
Okay.
Matt Rogers
Anyway, it's just a great. It's gonna be great. It's really gonna be a sensation.
Aaron Jackson
Wow.
Matt Rogers
Even if. Even if it flops, it's, like, impossible that there is, like, not an amazing episode.
Bowen Yang
I will say I've never seen a group of hotter people than any given Australia cast, which really is tough about the US version too, because we're casting for brains and not always looks, which is fine, but I know we can do.
Josh Sharp
What about when we go to Fire Island? You don't think that's a hotter group of men?
Matt Rogers
No, it'd be picking the hottest. But I think the hottest eight from that hot group and putting them on camera.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, yeah.
Matt Rogers
Starving.
Bowen Yang
From all of what weekend of Fire Island?
Matt Rogers
Your favorite, your hottest.
Aaron Jackson
Your hottest weekend.
Matt Rogers
The hottest weekend you've ever been.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Because I bet. I bet those Australia survivor guys could never drink an island special. Could never. And you know what's got longer?
Bowen Yang
Our theory is change the rest of the planner is.
Josh Sharp
Oh, the planners.
Bowen Yang
Crazy. It's going crazy.
Matt Rogers
It's popping off. It was a different color.
Bowen Yang
I had one of planners punches, and then I almost went over some guy's house and he said, don't worry, my daughter's asleep.
Matt Rogers
My daughter's asleep.
Bowen Yang
And I was like, okay, maybe if it had been two planters punches, I would have done something like all with.
Aaron Jackson
The child next to red.
Matt Rogers
Your daughter. Cat in the Hat.
Bowen Yang
I was like, honey, bring your kids to DragCon, no problem. But once I time.
Josh Sharp
I had two on July 4th and I got the spins. I was like, I have the spins. Two of those.
Aaron Jackson
The same year that I beat out.
Matt Rogers
You beat off.
Aaron Jackson
You beat out. I browned, blacked out.
Bowen Yang
What is your difference? Because I noticed you use brown out a lot. What's. What's your personal brownout? You can remember?
Aaron Jackson
No. And I will just say I don't know why I'm hedging. It was a full blackout. Yeah, because you lost your eyelid. I'm ashamed.
Josh Sharp
Oh, yeah. Then the island came together.
Aaron Jackson
The island came together.
Josh Sharp
The island. Wait, can I say something? So first of all, let's tee this up, which is that Bowen lost his wallet and the community. The island went. Bowen Yang's wallet. People went crazy to try and find Bowen Yang.
Aaron Jackson
Text from every gay in this great nation of ours.
Josh Sharp
Well, very similarly, when I was in Los Angeles the other week doing an out of town tryout of Josh Sharp. Tada. Tickets on sale@joshreptida.com I went to Akbar one night. Didn't realize until I was back I had left my tote bag there with one of those nice water bottles that you're like, oh God, I've just spent $50 on a water bottle again. And some sund was like, whatever. You know, it is what it is. Who do I get a DM from yesterday? Yesterday? Akbar the account.
Aaron Jackson
Wow.
Josh Sharp
They said your New Yorker magazine was in it with your name on it. So we figured out it's you. Can we mail it to you?
Aaron Jackson
The Akbar the investigating there.
Bowen Yang
One of the safe spaces.
Matt Rogers
I love Akbar. I gotta give him a follow.
Josh Sharp
Tied with Julius.
Bowen Yang
Have we actually all been together to mourn Barracuda?
Aaron Jackson
No, I don't think we have actually.
Josh Sharp
Let's. Let's give space to that because this is. Now this could get genuine. Because for once we've spoken of some of the lore of just like the scene coming together. But Barracuda we have to put a pin in because that was such like.
Bowen Yang
Our clubhouse for those formative years. God, I mean, how many times did we. Like how many times did we see Bob?
Matt Rogers
So many.
Aaron Jackson
So many pre.
Bowen Yang
Era. And then like also I just think about like that was really where we'd go to like pregame concerts.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. Even still.
Josh Sharp
To this day, even still, I. I find I like to do it in the. That. Well Rip. But we would still do that. But I just. I missed those days where we were there truly every week seeing drag at 1 in the morning.
Matt Rogers
It was like every Monday. It was a Monday. Bob shows on Monday.
Aaron Jackson
Monday, best comedy show in the city.
Josh Sharp
Show night that was. We would do Fun Guy, identical twins. And then you'd see Bob the Drag Queen. It's like truly, there's no better two shows the best. And I know half of it is my show.
Aaron Jackson
Proud.
Josh Sharp
It was wild to get to watch Bob in that era.
Aaron Jackson
It was the titanique of.
Bowen Yang
Of.
Aaron Jackson
Of our. Of that time.
Josh Sharp
It was the te technique of that time.
Aaron Jackson
Same Ve.
Josh Sharp
That's how you pronounce it.
Bowen Yang
I think it can be many different ways.
Matt Rogers
My ass.
Aaron Jackson
My ass.
Matt Rogers
Well, you are Canadian. Maybe that's how they say it there.
Aaron Jackson
Perhaps it is, you know. Yeah, it's like formative. What's formative?
Josh Sharp
Formative.
Aaron Jackson
Cuda formative. Like I can't even be like I'm just mournful. Like I'm sad.
Bowen Yang
I also, I hooked up a lot there. Like I remember it was like make.
Matt Rogers
Out or like have pull. Pull the patch.
Aaron Jackson
No, I've hooked up there.
Bowen Yang
It was like. It was like something on this face or not in the space.
Aaron Jackson
No.
Bowen Yang
But I know, I know of some filth that's gone that used to go down in that bathroom.
Josh Sharp
I touched crotches through jeans there. Do you know what I mean?
Bowen Yang
I know of full on breedings. I know of full on breedings that happened in the bathroom.
Matt Rogers
Cuz it's. It's a small girl smell.
Aaron Jackson
One small, small.
Bowen Yang
It smelled like. Yeah, go figure.
Josh Sharp
All of our great spaces.
Bowen Yang
And also like it was, it was, it was always, it was always busy.
Matt Rogers
It was never only the one bathroom.
Bowen Yang
Because I think it was just the.
Matt Rogers
One and one stall.
Josh Sharp
Luckily when it closed down because Aaron and I went like early in the week as soon as we heard. But then I was out of town for the weekend and I was like sort of sad to miss the final festivities. But then I realized if you had told me, by the way, Barracuda closed a month ago, I'd be like, I put in Malcolm Gladwell 10,000 hours there. Like luckily I had.
Aaron Jackson
Totally, totally.
Josh Sharp
I had my time. It's not like I'm like, we gotta.
Matt Rogers
Squeeze it in, right?
Josh Sharp
We really spent a lifetime in Barracuda.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Dang. Love her now.
Josh Sharp
One of the best spots to see drag.
Aaron Jackson
Truly. Truly.
Bowen Yang
Absolutely.
Aaron Jackson
Where I saw Alexis Michelle.
Matt Rogers
Yes.
Aaron Jackson
This the same episode their Katya got kicked off, got eliminated in season seven.
Matt Rogers
Season seven.
Aaron Jackson
Katjate Season seven. And she was. It was just five of us in that room.
Josh Sharp
Katya, no.
Aaron Jackson
And me screaming, Katya no. Tweeting It. And then the community coming after me Wallet.
Josh Sharp
Fire Island. This is the community coming pitchforks in his.
Matt Rogers
How quickly it can turn.
Aaron Jackson
Wait, speaking of, we saw Busted there. We saw Busted there.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, Busted.
Aaron Jackson
Speaking of Fire Island, I met Big bro last night.
Bowen Yang
No, no.
Aaron Jackson
And it was.
Josh Sharp
You don't know that.
Aaron Jackson
Sheila at Hollow Fabulous party.
Matt Rogers
Oh my God.
Aaron Jackson
But this, but this lovely gentleman like strikes conversation with me and I'm like, oh my God, what a sweet guy. And he goes. And I just have to say, I'm Big Bro. I, I'm Big Bro. I was like, when was the last.
Josh Sharp
Time you had contact with Big Bro?
Bowen Yang
Big Bro. And I texted a couple of weeks ago about meeting up.
Aaron Jackson
He is so lovely, by the way. Not what I expected.
Bowen Yang
No, I, I, I feel like. So wait, can we just, we'll just level set for everyone who's joined us since the big bro of it all. Because a lot of you are new here. They're basically to all my new followers. Here's who Big bro is. So he's a big part of the lore.
Josh Sharp
Ariana's coming on the pod soon. Any minute now. She's coming in.
Bowen Yang
It's so funny, Michelle. It's just so funny because two weeks ago we have an episode called how the Salad Gets tossed where we talk about it like Atlanta length, like whether or not it's like sort of like here nor there to lay a towel down on the bed for anal. Then Michelle Obama neither here nor there. So this podcast continues to be everything everywhere all at once. Anyway, we went to Fire Island a few years ago. I was particularly on one. I met someone, he's canonically known on the podcast as Big Bro because he called me little bro while I was, was having sex with him. And I, I think the vocabulary I used at the time was I shot a load up to heaven that has never come down.
Matt Rogers
Yes.
Bowen Yang
And we have had sex many times since then. It remains a great sort of relationship in my life.
Matt Rogers
I love it.
Bowen Yang
And I, I, I still to this day have to say, best I ever had. Oh my God, best thing I ever had. And that's okay if, if you're listening to this or watching this and we've had sex and it's not you, that doesn't mean it wasn't cool. Great. He's just the king.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, sometimes you got a king, but. And you also famously kept you, you were like, I had sex outside by the river. I had sex by the river. And we were like, there is no river here. What are you talking about? And it Took days. And then we realized you meant the bay. A wide, massive.
Bowen Yang
I was by the water. You look at it quite like a river to me. I described it like, I don't necessarily think you have to call things the right thing.
Matt Rogers
Totally.
Aaron Jackson
Especially court.
Matt Rogers
No, especially not in court.
Bowen Yang
Especially not in court. If I'm not in court, what's the big deal?
Matt Rogers
And even in court. Have fun in court.
Bowen Yang
Fake news. You said it's the bay. Anyway, you met Big Bro.
Aaron Jackson
I'm shook kind eyes. I always imagine Big Bro is like someone with, you know, vim and vigor.
Bowen Yang
He has it when it counts. I I.
Aaron Jackson
And now I'm like, oh, it's a toggle. Like, he switches it on, but otherwise in person.
Josh Sharp
And talk brotherly in that way.
Aaron Jackson
Brotherly in that way. Big brotherly.
Bowen Yang
He's actually so can rib you, but he loves you. It's. It's one of those things where it's like. And I think people out there know where during sex, it's like one thing, one great, lovely thing, and then afterwards, it's like such a sweet thing. Like, wow, your personality was not what it becomes, but in only the best way, of course.
Matt Rogers
Sexism, fake.
Bowen Yang
And Big Bro is in a committed relationship, so that's where that stays.
Josh Sharp
So, Bowen, you didn't breed big bro.
Aaron Jackson
I know. I was not big Bro to Big Bro. But he did say, because now Matt is selling merch that says he goes.
Bowen Yang
Big Bro, Little Bro Matt.
Aaron Jackson
Matt owes me a jersey.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, you got to cut him in.
Josh Sharp
Oh, you got to send him on.
Matt Rogers
That's just his intellectual property, baby. He's the one who called you that.
Aaron Jackson
We're in court now.
Bowen Yang
Can I say there's plans for him to wear the jersey next time?
Matt Rogers
Venmo Big Bro.
Bowen Yang
Don't you think that's hot?
Josh Sharp
Venmo Big Bro row.
Bowen Yang
Should I wear my Little Bro jersey? By the way, you can still buy Big Row Little bro jerseys.
Josh Sharp
Happy Brad.com for all your Matt Rogers merch needs.
Bowen Yang
I would love if we. If I had a, like, landing page for my merch on your to a nice collab.
Josh Sharp
We should just link all of our things to everything else. Beautiful.
Aaron Jackson
Smile.
Bowen Yang
Why don't we just start one big website?
Matt Rogers
Let's start one big website.
Aaron Jackson
That would be fun.
Bowen Yang
Anyway, let's just do a website together.
Josh Sharp
This is Zoran and Lander endorsing each other.
Matt Rogers
You're dating them. Wait, you're dating the podcast?
Bowen Yang
Should we know the first time we've.
Josh Sharp
Talked about something temporal?
Aaron Jackson
Oh, Mary will be forever.
Bowen Yang
Should we should we announce for the tour.
Matt Rogers
Let's get into announcement with this.
Aaron Jackson
Is it committing to it that I.
Josh Sharp
Do feel always I'm like, this is.
Bowen Yang
Real though we will say this is literally how every other single thing that like we or I have ever had successful. It starts as a joke and then it becomes real.
Aaron Jackson
Culture Awards started as a joke. Then one year it's like Bowen and you have a slot at Lincoln Center. What do you want to do? Oh, I don't know. Matt, do you want to do Culture Awards? Let's do it.
Bowen Yang
History when the last culture was a joke. Have you heard of Christmas?
Josh Sharp
What else did you entertain for the Lincoln Center? Was there anything else?
Aaron Jackson
Nothing else. It was just like, are we going to do anything?
Bowen Yang
No, I think it was like, oh, they gave the opportunity.
Aaron Jackson
One man van.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, because if you remember, we canceled the Culture Awards because they never actually were supposed to happen. We just were doing nominees just because I think we had to do an episode. We were like, we had nothing to talk about. So we did the.
Aaron Jackson
And the bit was. And we're going to cancel this. We're going to say that they're canceled.
Josh Sharp
Oh, and that's the episode. You had nothing to talk. The only one listener.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, listen, listen.
Bowen Yang
I don't even know what they want anymore.
Josh Sharp
So for the tour they want this. They want the four of us. That's what you said they. For the tour.
Bowen Yang
Now tell them what that is.
Aaron Jackson
That's why you tell them about that.
Josh Sharp
By the way, TR don't last for always.
Aaron Jackson
Matt and I were reflecting on what a perfect story. What a perfect story. It's a, it's a, it's a for sale baby. Shoes never worn of, of that drag race like, like world pride, like 2019.
Bowen Yang
You know, people don't know about Stone 50. They don't know.
Aaron Jackson
People don't know about Stonewall. People just don't know what that is.
Bowen Yang
Stonewall was fighting for gay rights and people were killed.
Aaron Jackson
Nobody was killed.
Bowen Yang
Nobody was killed. Nobody was for sale, baby.
Josh Sharp
She's never worn. You can't take out a single syllable from that.
Bowen Yang
No.
Josh Sharp
Perfectly concise.
Bowen Yang
Nobody was killed as film.
Aaron Jackson
Nobody was killed. Nobody was killed.
Bowen Yang
Nobody was killed.
Josh Sharp
Willem, a true comedian.
Matt Rogers
Oh, one of the, one of the best.
Aaron Jackson
And historian.
Bowen Yang
I just think Derek Barry and Willem are a comedy duo. We don't think we need.
Matt Rogers
But we do double bonds.
Bowen Yang
And if they don't think that, at least I'm going to their Vegas two person show.
Matt Rogers
Well, I'm curious.
Bowen Yang
So anyway, speaking of big, can I.
Josh Sharp
Just say about really quick. Willam, Willem.
Bowen Yang
We met zigging and zagging away from.
Matt Rogers
It's crazy to try to keep up.
Josh Sharp
I know. Willam, we met at will. Maybe Drag the musical.
Bowen Yang
Tell everybody what that is.
Josh Sharp
She came up, she said, hello. She was like, big fan of the movie. I was like, well, I love you, Will. I love you. She goes, and if you ever need a drag queen in one of your projects, I'm a veil. And walked away. And she loves to say to you.
Matt Rogers
You said, I love you. And she goes, you have good taste.
Josh Sharp
Oh, yeah, that too. I love you. You have good taste.
Aaron Jackson
This is what I said. This is what I tagged Camila this season on Survivor. I was like, oh, my God, she's my queen. She responds to my dm. She goes, thank you for your honesty. I was like, I love that responsy.
Bowen Yang
Thank you for your.
Aaron Jackson
Thank you for caring for the tour.
Matt Rogers
For the tour. Why don't you tell them what that is?
Josh Sharp
Why don't you tell them what that is?
Bowen Yang
Why don't you tell everybody what that is?
Josh Sharp
I. I think for the tour, nobody died.
Aaron Jackson
Nobody was killed. I think out of the four of us, I think Josh might have the clearest picture.
Matt Rogers
Well, he's on the pitch. He's on the pitch cycle in the morning.
Aaron Jackson
I know how to Kelly in the morning.
Josh Sharp
Come on. So as you know, one of the centerpieces of Culture awards is that often the four of us sing a song arranged for our four soaring vocal trumpet like instruments, each higher than the last. And there's. And it's pretty rare that anyone sings alone. Really. It's not really desired. It's mostly four voices together in community and fellowship as well.
Bowen Yang
In harmony.
Josh Sharp
Exactly. At this point, our repertoire includes three or even four. Four songs.
Matt Rogers
Right.
Josh Sharp
Imagine if we added another five. That's a concert. So we want to do a show.
Aaron Jackson
Called for the tour or the tour.
Bowen Yang
Four voices, four cities. Four nights.
Josh Sharp
Yes. You think four nights in each or four.
Bowen Yang
That's 16.
Aaron Jackson
That's interesting. I see. I was about to ask whether the. Whether the. The pitch was counting down. Four, four singers, three, blah, blah, two or counting up. Yeah, I would imagine we would want to do more than four singers. Cities.
Matt Rogers
Five.
Aaron Jackson
Five cities.
Josh Sharp
Oh, yes.
Aaron Jackson
Six cities.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Six hours.
Bowen Yang
Wait, don't you, don't you guys think it should be four? Four, four, four. So four singers, four cities, four nights. Four songs.
Matt Rogers
Four songs.
Aaron Jackson
Four songs.
Bowen Yang
Like if, if. If we get on stage and say, let's just get logistical about this. Okay.
Aaron Jackson
Okay.
Bowen Yang
Say it's an hour show.
Aaron Jackson
Okay.
Bowen Yang
Four shows is a show when you have so much, much patter, like patter and you know, you know, back and.
Matt Rogers
Forth divisible by four or 40 songs. It's like a mega mix.
Josh Sharp
Four, four, four singers, four cities, four nights.
Aaron Jackson
40 songs, 40 songs.
Matt Rogers
And they could be medley. Some of them 14.
Aaron Jackson
14 songs.
Matt Rogers
What we an album.
Josh Sharp
What we promise you is we will try to sing together as four as much as we possibly can.
Matt Rogers
I don't think anyone like on stage stage is like alone having a solo.
Josh Sharp
Can I even pitch a bit that.
Matt Rogers
Even if someone's a lead singer, I.
Josh Sharp
Would love at one point to you to come out. Maybe you start have a Christmas. The audience is like of course solo number from that instantly the three of us appear. It is a quartet.
Bowen Yang
So just one of the songs is. Have you heard of Christmas that we do example. I like it cuz I like those checks, baby.
Josh Sharp
If Aaron I come out to sing one of our huge hits from Dick's the musical Trust you're in it.
Aaron Jackson
Trust.
Bowen Yang
You know, thank God, you know, I'm so thank thankful this time to be in it. You know what I mean? Hey, this time I'll get in it.
Aaron Jackson
Come on.
Bowen Yang
That's kind of interesting.
Josh Sharp
That is kind of interesting.
Matt Rogers
Larry Charles has a book coming out.
Bowen Yang
Well, that's really interesting. Swerve. It's a really interesting segue. You tried to do that.
Matt Rogers
No, he ultimately controls me.
Josh Sharp
Yeah, we should have cast you in.
Bowen Yang
The first and I put you guys in special. You guys are always on the podcast.
Josh Sharp
You're correct.
Bowen Yang
I feel like no, we always we.
Matt Rogers
Cast you in the bell house. Bellhouse improv.
Aaron Jackson
Not for the improv.
Bowen Yang
And thank you for that. Obviously for those platforms.
Josh Sharp
The check is bigger for bellhouse improv.
Matt Rogers
Than it was probably for the movie.
Josh Sharp
Now which part do you feel you should have played? Because whatever you say is correct. I I honor we should have cast you in the film.
Aaron Jackson
Matt would have been one of the neighbors probably I would have been great.
Bowen Yang
As one of the neighbors. And you know it's true.
Josh Sharp
Maybe when Darcy peeks her head out and goes the hearing us have sex. You're with her in a night robe. You guys.
Bowen Yang
I could have said, babe, get the back in here. Think about how fun that would have been.
Matt Rogers
Baby, why are you in the hall.
Bowen Yang
Always and I come get the back in.
Josh Sharp
And you go, baby, they're gay guys. They loud. Baby, get back in here.
Matt Rogers
Get back in here.
Josh Sharp
Why you always in the hallway?
Bowen Yang
Like you had an opportunity for the movie to be funny and squandered that. You squandered it.
Josh Sharp
We squandered that.
Bowen Yang
You guys, I'm kidding, but I will have my revenge.
Aaron Jackson
Do you think Darcy's character is homophobic in that? Because she's like, yes. Do you think she's defucking, like, gay.
Josh Sharp
Yes.
Aaron Jackson
Gay guy? She's like, I don't like that.
Matt Rogers
I don't think she knows they're identical twin brothers having sex.
Bowen Yang
But if she did, it would make things even worse because.
Aaron Jackson
Do they fuck? Did the boys fuck when they moved the same day they moved in?
Matt Rogers
Yes.
Josh Sharp
Boxers everywhere, boxes everywhere that we fuck into.
Matt Rogers
And every. All the props people. I wasn't props people. Whoever it was, I'm not throwing anyone on the bus. Kept writing, like, jokes on the boxes. Like, dildos, porn. And Larry was like, this isn't funny.
Bowen Yang
Why do I think that's funny?
Matt Rogers
And then we were like, it should say fragile.
Bowen Yang
Yes, that's funny. Fragile. And then fuck into the boxes.
Josh Sharp
That's like, fragile. That's the joke.
Bowen Yang
That's funny.
Josh Sharp
If you fuck into a box that says dildos, what is the joke?
Bowen Yang
And why would they have dildos?
Aaron Jackson
This is, like, the last day of shooting.
Josh Sharp
Absolutely screaming at everyone.
Matt Rogers
Could say fragile.
Josh Sharp
Yes, that's a joke. You should have been neighbor, too, to Darcy's neighbor one. Did we say this last time we were here that Nick Offerman, who plays one of the protesters, at one point, while improvising, he said his name. Like always when everybody was, like, celebrating at the end, he'd turn to his neighbor and be like, the name's Bill Smith, by the way.
Matt Rogers
Steve Cheney.
Josh Sharp
Steve Cheney was inside Steve, by the way. And I remember at a break, we went up to him. We're like, well, this is great. The character has a name. You're Steve Cheney. And he thought. And he went. Although protester number three does have a nice ring. So he insisted because I think he likes that his IMDb says protester number.
Bowen Yang
Legend he is, and not like.
Aaron Jackson
Round of applause for Nick Offerman. Truly.
Bowen Yang
Oh, my gosh, Bo. We've been wanting this icon on our show forever.
Aaron Jackson
Forever. I cannot believe she's here. Readers, Katy's Publicist finalists, please welcome one of the biggest pop girlies of the summer, Megan One of Bowen.
Megan Thee Stallion
I think we know I'm one of one, right?
Aaron Jackson
You're the only one.
Megan Thee Stallion
Thank you. I'll admit, I kind of thought I was too big for this podcast, but then Gaga and Chapel stopped in, so I figured it was worth my time.
Aaron Jackson
Yes. Well, we are honored that you're Here with us.
Megan Thee Stallion
I know the gays do love me.
Bowen Yang
They do. We do. And I love that you're giving us the perfect movie to cap off Pride Month.
Megan Thee Stallion
It really is gonna be hot Meg Summer. And I'm happy to give my people a place to sit, rest and scream at the end of June. So keep a little in the tank, boys.
Aaron Jackson
Well, we cannot wait. But, Megan, I don't mean to ask an indelicate question, but weren't you kind of dead at the end of the last movie?
Megan Thee Stallion
Being deactivated was actually great for me because I got to renegotiate my deal for the sequel. And let's just say, as mother, I was only going to reboot if the price was right.
Aaron Jackson
Yes. You have to advocate for yourself. Get what you are worth, girl.
Megan Thee Stallion
Oh, I am. Don't you worry. Or maybe you should.
Bowen Yang
You look amazing. I feel like you look like you've had a little bit of a refresh. Like the glam is working. Are you doing anything different in your routine?
Megan Thee Stallion
Aren't we all working on ourselves all the time? Matt, I got taller, faster, stronger, fierce.
Bowen Yang
Wellness is so important. I agree. We have to self care.
Megan Thee Stallion
And I do care a lot about myself.
Aaron Jackson
Okay, Megan, are you ready for this week's I don't think so, honey?
Megan Thee Stallion
It was so hard for me to pick just one. Let's do it.
Aaron Jackson
This is Megan's. I don't think so, honey. Her time starts now.
Megan Thee Stallion
I don't think so, honey. With height restrictions on roller coaster roosters, it's high discrimination and frankly, absurd. And what about the Met Gala being a human only event? I don't think so, Anna. Oh, and I don't think so, honey with Chucky? If you're gonna represent the killer doll community, you gotta put a little more effort in the hair. It's called a comb. Oh, and I really don't think so, honey. With superheroes, nobody can really pull off a cape. Like the trend is over and was never cute. How about something with a little more, I don't know, homicide for your entertainment $? I also don't think so, honey.
Aaron Jackson
And that's one minute. Wow, that was a lot.
Megan Thee Stallion
Yeah, sorry, a lot. Pisses me off.
Bowen Yang
Feels good to let it out, though. Well, it's been a delight to have you on, babe.
Megan Thee Stallion
The honor really was yours. One more thing, fellas. I think you should update what you call your listeners.
Aaron Jackson
What do you mean?
Megan Thee Stallion
I mean readers, publicists and Megans. If you see one movie this summer, obviously go see Megan 2 Zero Point in theaters June 27th. And if you only see two, see Megan twice. I don't wear a cape for crying out loud.
Bowen Yang
Okay, we'll be there.
Megan Thee Stallion

Matt Rogers
Did you guys watch Parker Posey and Lisa Crudo's actors on Actors?
Bowen Yang
Yes.
Matt Rogers
They bring up Megan Mulally.
Bowen Yang
Well, okay. I watched the first like 15, 20 minutes of it and then I was with some people who were like, follow them. I was like, it's Lisa and Parker. Like it's not going to be just.
Matt Rogers
It was more like non sequitur's levels.
Bowen Yang
Like this.
Josh Sharp
Try listening to this.
Bowen Yang
They won't try that. But I was like. I was thinking to myself like what do you. Why would you want them to be? This is. This is melodic. Watching the two of them be themselves at each other like two trumpets. I loved it.
Matt Rogers
Two trumpets.
Bowen Yang
But people were mouthy about. Some gays were very angsty and mouthy about that interview.
Josh Sharp
I have a question that I want us to decide on on air. Cuz if it's four cities, what are.
Bowen Yang
The New York, Chicago and of course Orlando, Florida.
Matt Rogers
Oh, that's huge.
Aaron Jackson
Interesting. Interesting.
Bowen Yang
Cuz then it pays for a trip.
Josh Sharp
New York.
Bowen Yang
You have to think like me. Can I tell you something? You have to think like me and.
Josh Sharp
We have to close the tour there so we can hang after.
Bowen Yang
If you don't think like me, you might not go to Orlando. Think about that.
Matt Rogers
I might not.
Bowen Yang
I'm also looking at the crew. If you don't start thinking like me, you're never going to get to Orlando.
Matt Rogers
Beautiful place.
Bowen Yang
Beautiful. You might never get there.
Josh Sharp
They all pack up the cameras and leave.
Bowen Yang
They understand they're laughing right now, but it'll hit them later that they should really think about it. It's not a really good.
Josh Sharp
You can't hear it. But the crew's been laughing so much this whole episode.
Bowen Yang
I'm talking when they're laughing, they can I tell you something, they don't love the dirty stuff. It Scares them.
Matt Rogers
Pride, you guys.
Bowen Yang
Well, I certainly don't see you in your pride outfits.
Josh Sharp
Can I get a. I wore sort.
Aaron Jackson
Of a fun shirt today.
Josh Sharp
Kevin Spacey was robbed.
Bowen Yang
Can I say who's okay? You are okay because you voted.
Matt Rogers
Oh, yeah.
Bowen Yang
I'm okay because it's a fun shirt. You. It's pride. It's turnstile. You claim it's gay hard rock music. You Cheetah print. Makes me think. Elisa Rinna, you're good. The two on the crew, I don't.
Josh Sharp
Know, didn't cut it.
Bowen Yang
It's giving. What is. What would you call this shirt?
Aaron Jackson
That's like a.
Matt Rogers
Converse.
Bowen Yang
Oh, you got Converse. Yeah.
Josh Sharp
It's okay.
Aaron Jackson
Chucks. Some white. Some fun white.
Bowen Yang
One thing he did say, we have mutual friends and one of them was Patty Harrison. So you're okay.
Josh Sharp
So respect.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Sachi. We love Sachi.
Matt Rogers
Of course.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. So he's okay with me. Everyone here is okay.
Matt Rogers
Okay.
Bowen Yang
Now bring him. Bring him in from outside. We're going to go one by one.
Matt Rogers
Bringing civilians off the road.
Bowen Yang
Got to tell you, we're actually around a really good dog today.
Aaron Jackson
Mag.
Matt Rogers
Maggie a. The dog.
Bowen Yang
Maggie the dog. And you know, Maggie.
Aaron Jackson
Mag.
Bowen Yang
Maggie as a dog's name is a little bit of a trigger for me because one of my dogs was Maggie.
Aaron Jackson
You had a Maggie.
Matt Rogers
Do you find it you. You like it or you make you.
Bowen Yang
It makes me remember her. She actually was the best.
Matt Rogers
That's kind of nice.
Josh Sharp
She died.
Bowen Yang
She died. She didn't make it past 10, actually. I'm telling you about some of these dogs now. Tell Maggie to cover her ears out there, but they're inbred. There is bread.
Aaron Jackson
Aaron, I. I do want to ask you a vulnerable question.
Bowen Yang
Sure. And look at you smiling to try to get. To try to put up a front, put up a disguise.
Aaron Jackson
Do you foresee you and Michael wanting to have another dog?
Matt Rogers
Because I had a dog who is dead.
Aaron Jackson
Lady named Lady.
Matt Rogers
I think so. But I think in a while I want to be. I want to be. Well, I want to be rich enough to pay for a dog walker.
Aaron Jackson
Yes. Oh, huge.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Clutch.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
And when you want to go out of town.
Aaron Jackson
Town.
Matt Rogers
Be able to drop somewhere.
Aaron Jackson
Well, well, well. Let's set the ticket price for the tour.
Josh Sharp
But also, should we have a string section? Like we should have an orchestra. Yeah, we should have a string section.
Matt Rogers
Four strings.
Josh Sharp
Four strings. Four of every instrument. Four drummers, four guitarists, four keyboards. Four strings.
Aaron Jackson
I thought this. The strings were like the four strings on most string instruments. Yes, but there's so many ways to go about this. Here's how to fill out the show.
Matt Rogers
4.
Aaron Jackson
Four group groups, group songs, four solos, but with.
Matt Rogers
With background.
Bowen Yang
You don't want to.
Aaron Jackson
But four solos, I can't tell if that's too much or if we just each do a solo and that's eight songs.
Bowen Yang
Can I actually literally tell you what we'll have time for? As someone who. Who's done a show with music? It has to be. It has to be four. Four. I'm telling you, four songs. Because we're going to be talking so much. We're gonna be. We're not gonna be able to stop talking.
Matt Rogers
What if we. What if we make the show?
Bowen Yang
Oh, no. Listen to me, please.
Matt Rogers
I'm trying. I'm trying.
Bowen Yang
Because if you think more like me, you won't have problems.
Matt Rogers
I won't.
Bowen Yang
No.
Matt Rogers
4.
Bowen Yang
And they're each themed to a season, or they're each themed to one of.
Matt Rogers
Us or an element.
Bowen Yang
Like we take this alchemical element. Like we come out.
Josh Sharp
Or a cardinal direction.
Aaron Jackson
Wait a minute.
Bowen Yang
That's all. This is all good.
Aaron Jackson
Wait, okay. What are our algar elements? Like?
Matt Rogers
Do we all have different signs?
Aaron Jackson
No, we're both walking water and your air.
Matt Rogers
And I'm Earth.
Aaron Jackson
So then your Earth, your air. I think Matt, even though he's a water sign, has fire quality.
Matt Rogers
Totally. Do you know you're rising or you're.
Bowen Yang
I'm water. Water. Water. I'm probably the most water.
Josh Sharp
That's the most fire you can.
Matt Rogers
I don't have any water.
Bowen Yang
I think Bowen is. And I'll say this just to you guys confused, because I'm wearing a yellow and red shirt.
Josh Sharp
Well, you're Tina Burner. A queen I've seen.
Bowen Yang
Because I'm dressed a thousand times. Because I'm dressed like. Like Tina Burner. BC before colors.
Matt Rogers
Before colors.
Bowen Yang
Before new colors. Bnc. BNC before new colors. Tina Burner.
Aaron Jackson
BNC is fun.
Bowen Yang
Tina.
Aaron Jackson
Use that. You can use that.
Bowen Yang
You can use that.
Josh Sharp
Tina.
Matt Rogers
Tina. It's yours, Rob.
Bowen Yang
But yeah, no, I could be fire.
Aaron Jackson
I just think you're the fiery one.
Matt Rogers
What else is in your chart? I have fire.
Josh Sharp
Air.
Aaron Jackson
I think I'm water. Air. Air.
Josh Sharp
I'm air. Air. Water, I think.
Bowen Yang
Or air.
Josh Sharp
Water. Water. But I think I'm double air. Water.
Matt Rogers
What are you?
Josh Sharp
I don't remember.
Matt Rogers
Aquarius.
Josh Sharp
I don't remember.
Matt Rogers
I think you have Earth.
Josh Sharp
I'd have to look it up.
Bowen Yang
And what are you?
Aaron Jackson
Earth.
Matt Rogers
Taurus, Earth. Gemini. Moon. Air. And then Aries. Rising. Fire.
Bowen Yang
Okay. Yeah. So you.
Matt Rogers
That's why I smile when I'm. Because my emotions are not accessible to me.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, I don't believe that for a second, though.
Matt Rogers
I'm an actress.
Josh Sharp
You're getting quieter.
Matt Rogers
Well, here's what happened. Here's something that I have umbrage with.
Aaron Jackson
Okay.
Matt Rogers
Professor J.K. rowling. Read Harry Potter.
Bowen Yang
Yes. Every time we say something like that, it is, of course, an endorsement.
Matt Rogers
Endorsement. We were in Fire island, these three and someone named Matt Whitaker.
Aaron Jackson
Oh.
Matt Rogers
And then they all come up to me and they say, we found out what little women we are. Oh, yeah, we did.
Bowen Yang
We did.
Matt Rogers
They say, matt Whitaker's Joe. Matt Rogers is Amy Bowen's Beth. And your Meg. And I go, I'm Meg. And they go, because you're the actress.
Bowen Yang
And she lost her mind.
Matt Rogers
I go, you two are booking acting work every day of your lives. I am a published novelist.
Aaron Jackson
You're right. Oh.
Bowen Yang
Curious.
Matt Rogers
Incensed. Erased my whole identity calling me a working actor. Anyway, at least you got assigned one of the women.
Josh Sharp
Well, you were.
Matt Rogers
You were.
Aaron Jackson
You were away.
Bowen Yang
You're Lord.
Josh Sharp
Thank you.
Aaron Jackson
I'm Marmee.
Bowen Yang
You're Mar.
Josh Sharp
I'm Mar.
Bowen Yang
You are Marmy. I want Days of Plenty.
Matt Rogers
Is that from the musical?
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Which I saw.
Bowen Yang
You have to believe. I don't know why I'm doing it. Oh, it's good.
Matt Rogers
The girl. It's really bad.
Bowen Yang
That's. It's not really bad. When you take a chance on me, I like it.
Matt Rogers
Doesn't that just. That earworm give you Louisa May alcohol? I am astonishing.
Bowen Yang
I do think astonishment stunishing blows ass so bad. People just think it's good because there is a big note.
Matt Rogers
Cause Sutton is belting.
Josh Sharp
But the scanshin is wrong.
Aaron Jackson
Astonishing scantion is wrong.
Josh Sharp
And don't forget, we're stanchion kings.
Matt Rogers
But Amy was played by the same actress, young and old. And everyone was gagged for Florence Pugh. And I was like, they did it on Broadway in 2002.
Bowen Yang
Oh, give this girl her flowers. I did. Okay. Can I. I'm gonna bravely say my take about the Florence Pugh performance as an adult. As the. The, like, older version.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Bring Kirsten Dun back.
Bowen Yang
I think it. I think it should be two people.
Matt Rogers
CGI Kirsten back into.
Aaron Jackson
Kirsten was perfect. Woo.
Matt Rogers
And she burned that book.
Bowen Yang
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Kirsten is perfect in everything.
Matt Rogers
She really is.
Aaron Jackson
It's true.
Matt Rogers
And Winona was a great Joe.
Bowen Yang
I love Winona. And you know what else? What else Winona is like a perfect blueprint for is Abigail Williams. She's so good in the movies.
Josh Sharp
And you'll be seeing John Proctor as the villain today.
Aaron Jackson
I'm so excited.
Matt Rogers
With Joan Allen as Elizabeth.
Bowen Yang
Joan Allen as Elizabeth. Oscar nomination.
Aaron Jackson
Come on.
Bowen Yang
Did you know that?
Matt Rogers
Yeah. And for Ice Storm. Ice Storm two In Ice Storm. Shoot. I believe she has some marker. You have some marker on her keys. And you're gonna find her keys.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. She's got one for a movie called the Contender too.
Matt Rogers
Oh, right. Which I've never seen.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. So Joan Allen is.
Matt Rogers
I love Joan Allen. I saw her in a middling play. Not her fault and not the playwright's fault and no one's fault.
Josh Sharp
Your fault maybe.
Matt Rogers
Maybe my fault. And I was on the front row and she's just crying. Real time tears.
Aaron Jackson
Joan Allen. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
God bless you, honey. In this. In this fine play. Giving it all you got.
Bowen Yang
Love, Joan Allen.
Matt Rogers
Love her. Eight shows a week, they're crying for me.
Josh Sharp
Wet woman.
Matt Rogers
A wet woman. Everyone making joke about Jonathan Groff being wet.
Bowen Yang
Well, he calls himself wet.
Josh Sharp
It's a clip he did.
Matt Rogers
Because he spit.
Josh Sharp
Yeah. And he was. They were asking spit or too.
Aaron Jackson
Not like that.
Bowen Yang
He's like, I get very wet. That is the way he was asking.
Josh Sharp
Was like, say that another way. He was like, I'm wet. He's like, cure yourself. Say it another way.
Aaron Jackson
Danny Rags of the Vanity Fair, please read it.
Matt Rogers
Harry Potter, please read all the books.
Aaron Jackson
If you haven't yet, then read.
Matt Rogers
They are really enchanting stories.
Aaron Jackson
Although, have we ever talked about Hogwarts legacy?
Matt Rogers
I never played.
Aaron Jackson
See, like, there is such an internal debate among gay gamers about whether or.
Bowen Yang
Not we can play it.
Aaron Jackson
But it's like, it's tough. Like, I don't know where to land on this because, like, the developers have taken a stance where you can make a trans character. And, and they're clearly like, hey, we. We're. We don't.
Bowen Yang
With jk, I don't think anyone cares except jk. Like, that's the thing is it's like, I don't think anyone in that ecosystem is like trans people except JK Rowling himself.
Aaron Jackson
But then it's. It's her, it's her, it's her.
Matt Rogers
She's getting it correct.
Josh Sharp
But like, but hey, when Kevin Spacey's in Omar, you'll understand art and artist.
Bowen Yang
That is when everything swings all the way.
Matt Rogers
I know. Are people mad about the HBO show? People are up in arms if everyone.
Bowen Yang
Says, yeah, I think, I think it is worth being up in arms about that for many reasons. And I just, you know what I can't get over is how ruined those kids already are. Like, I was talking to someone who knows and they were like, yeah, like, it's going to be probably before the announcement of their casting, like starting therapy about really making them understand what exactly they've signed up for and that their lives will be forever changed and like, you know, media training for them. The parents, like, like, like real, real conditioning.
Matt Rogers
They did that before Harold Knight.
Bowen Yang
They did.
Aaron Jackson
Thank God Orna came in.
Josh Sharp
Orna came in and did that.
Matt Rogers
Orna came into all of us that got on Harold Knight.
Bowen Yang
Like, is it a good thing to book Harry Potter? Probably not.
Josh Sharp
No.
Matt Rogers
Daniel's okay.
Josh Sharp
Well, but I mean, you're saying.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, but by the skin of his teeth. He's okay.
Aaron Jackson
He had a.
Josh Sharp
In a way that's remarkable when someone comes out of that experience.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
I don't.
Bowen Yang
I guess. I guess.
Matt Rogers
Are they all English again? I legit think that helps because they're all like, do the work, darling.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Wait, what do you mean again?
Matt Rogers
Like, they were all English in the movies?
Aaron Jackson
Yeah. Oh, which we love.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. I think it's. I think the English are a little more like, this is ours isn't real, doll. Like where. Like in la.
Bowen Yang
It's like, do coke, little girl.
Aaron Jackson
Like, you know, I think it's a.
Matt Rogers
Little more like, you know, let's do Matilda together. Don't think.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, I think.
Aaron Jackson
I don't think.
Josh Sharp
I don't think.
Bowen Yang
Anyway, so the Traders.
Matt Rogers
The Traders.
Josh Sharp
The Trader.
Matt Rogers
They have to do the Traders. But I'm excited for the Traders, guys.
Aaron Jackson
I mean, a lot of people upset about Michael Rappaport.
Matt Rogers
Right.
Aaron Jackson
But, you know, whatever. He'll. The trash takes off that every time.
Bowen Yang
But what did you think about how they did with the Survivors?
Matt Rogers
I think the Survivors three are.
Bowen Yang
They kicked ass with that. I think it probably was. They probably, like got Rob Cestrinino because Survivor didn't.
Matt Rogers
And Natalie people. And Natalie people were saying she was maybe rumored for 50, but.
Bowen Yang
Oh, wow.
Aaron Jackson
Okay. I like Natalie a lot.
Bowen Yang
Me too.
Matt Rogers
Love Queen.
Aaron Jackson
Who's the third one? Jim. Jam. Jam. Jam Icon. Icon.
Matt Rogers
And then this guy, Ian Terry, a great big brother.
Bowen Yang
And the housewives they've chosen are good, too.
Matt Rogers
This is what I. Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
But they make the same mistake that they've made for the past three seasons. Four seasons now, one Drag Race contestant.
Matt Rogers
I know. Just give us two.
Aaron Jackson
Just give us two.
Bowen Yang
I had heard a rumor that jujubee was supposed to be on Juju would be amazed. Like, that's what I had heard because I think that they were trying to take the note of not just one.
Josh Sharp
Drag Race person and who is on it.
Matt Rogers
Exchange.
Josh Sharp
Well, that's good.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Well, that I like.
Aaron Jackson
Well, that I like.
Bowen Yang
I'm interested to see what allyships happen. I do think it's, like, on paper, it's my favorite people, and I think I know the most of these people.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Because sometimes I don't know the Big Brother people. It feels like we really went away from the challenge.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, we really did. Sure.
Bowen Yang
I wonder if that was a note or something.
Matt Rogers
Oh, my God. You see Natalie's cryon or whatever it's called. Lower third.
Aaron Jackson
Lower third. What does it say?
Matt Rogers
Amazing Race, which she was on first. But it is so interesting.
Bowen Yang
She's a Survivor winner.
Josh Sharp
Survivor.
Matt Rogers
And then got on the finals of another Survivor. She's amazing.
Bowen Yang
Well, you know what? Maybe that's. Maybe she's pissed off at Survivor. Yeah. I mean, maybe.
Matt Rogers
I think it was maybe just NBC trying to be like, we diversified our profile.
Bowen Yang
I don't know.
Matt Rogers
She was on at first. She was on.
Bowen Yang
There's definitely some type of war between the traitors and Survivor.
Matt Rogers
Hates the traitors.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Which he should. They, like, steal all his people. But also it's like.
Aaron Jackson
Well, they don't steal them.
Matt Rogers
I mean, give them a chance. It's. It's just Jeff, he's.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, he needs it. Moratorium on Jeff, maybe. I hate to say it, not moratorium. What does that mean? Yeah, no, crematorium. No, that's not.
Josh Sharp
Moratorium means a pause.
Aaron Jackson
It means, like, let's do, like a discussion post. Discussion postmortem.
Bowen Yang
I think it will be worth it to have moratorium is.
Aaron Jackson
I'm confusing that with postmortem.
Matt Rogers
Yes, yes.
Josh Sharp
Moratorium is what you say when one of your friends is being too gay.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, Moratorium.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, Moratorium on all that pause.
Matt Rogers
Oh, great drag name. Mora.
Bowen Yang
Moratorium.
Aaron Jackson
Wait, I'm still so pissed. I want. I wanted to stay on my Criterion Closet, my drag name would be Janice Films.
Matt Rogers
That's really good.
Aaron Jackson
You know what I mean?
Josh Sharp
Yeah, that's really good.
Aaron Jackson
Anyway, more.
Bowen Yang
Did you guys hear my new drag name?
Josh Sharp
No.
Aaron Jackson
Beautiful, beautiful dress.
Matt Rogers
Oh. Mine has always been, for a long time, Pretty Girl. And they go, hi, I'm pretty. Pretty.
Josh Sharp
I heard a great one in Fire island at the, you know, Little Wear Away contest, some gay guy who I'm crediting some gay guy said, donatella, verse top me. And I'd never heard. That's really Donatella verse top me.
Bowen Yang
So if you're that guy, hey, verse top Me, daddy.
Josh Sharp
It's perfect as a verb. Verse top me misses Verse top me.
Matt Rogers
That's what, like ruined.
Bowen Yang
So how was it last night? Oh, I got verse top. It was really good. He taught me but reminded me bottom the whole time.
Aaron Jackson
You should verse top.
Bowen Yang
I can bottom anytime.
Matt Rogers
I can more frequently, but I like to bottom.
Bowen Yang
Bottom. I like to bottom.
Aaron Jackson
But for verse topping to be the full. Jaren is really funny. He was verse topping me.
Josh Sharp
He's verse topping me.
Matt Rogers
He's verse topping.
Aaron Jackson
You know what I mean?
Bowen Yang
Totally.
Josh Sharp
Versing topping.
Aaron Jackson
Versing topping. Versing top.
Josh Sharp
No, it's better.
Bowen Yang
Let's just say what we all want to say.
Matt Rogers
My verse on top. That's good.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Verse on top.
Matt Rogers
Weird tops.
Bowen Yang
Verse bottoms. We have to stop saying up as three different things, and we have to start a war. Tops vers like Twinks vs.
Matt Rogers
Dolls.
Aaron Jackson
Wow. Twinks vs.
Bowen Yang
Dolls. It's time we settle this in the streets. And I think the bottoms are going to win.
Matt Rogers
You think they. Well, they have something to prove.
Bowen Yang
You think so?
Josh Sharp
Well, they have skills.
Matt Rogers
Wait, tops have skills.
Josh Sharp
No, they don't.
Aaron Jackson
No, they don't.
Josh Sharp
No, they don't. What else? No, that's no already. No.
Matt Rogers
Verbal.
Aaron Jackson
Verbal.
Josh Sharp
No. Tops have no skills.
Matt Rogers
Okay? And bottom skills are everything. Taking dick, everything.
Josh Sharp
Think of the bottoms.
Bowen Yang
They're artists. Bottoms are sculptors.
Josh Sharp
They're intelligent.
Bowen Yang
They're painters.
Josh Sharp
They're painters. They're sculptors. They're your mother. They're your daughter.
Matt Rogers
You fuck your mother.
Josh Sharp
Tops are nothing. Tops are nothing.
Aaron Jackson
Tops are nothing.
Josh Sharp
And they bring nothing.
Bowen Yang
Oh, my gosh, Belle. We've been wanting this icon on our show forever.
Aaron Jackson
Forever. I cannot believe she's here. Readers, Katie's Publicity, this finalist, please welcome one of the biggest pop girlies of the summer, Megan One of Bowen.
Megan Thee Stallion
I think we know I'm one of one, right?
Aaron Jackson
You're the only one.
Megan Thee Stallion
Thank you. I'll admit, I kind of thought I was too big for this podcast, but then Gaga and Chapel stopped in, so I figured it was worth my time.
Aaron Jackson
Yes, well, we are honored that you're here with us.
Megan Thee Stallion
I know the gays do love me.
Bowen Yang
They do. We do. And I love that you're giving us the perfect movie to cap off Pride Month.
Megan Thee Stallion
It really is gonna be hot, Megan Summer. And I'm happy to give my people a place to sit, rest, and scream at the end of June. So keep a little in the tank, boys.
Aaron Jackson
Well, we cannot wait. But, Megan, I don't mean to ask an indelicate question, but weren't you kind of Dead at the end of the last movie.
Megan Thee Stallion
Being deactivated was actually great for me because I got to renegotiate my deal for the sequel. And let's just say as mother, I was only going to reboot if the price was right.
Aaron Jackson
Yes, you have to advocate for yourself. Get what you are worth, girl.
Megan Thee Stallion
Oh, I. I am. Don't you worry. Or maybe you should.
Bowen Yang
You look amazing. I feel like you look like you've had a little bit of a refresh. Like the glam is working. Are you doing anything different in your routine?
Megan Thee Stallion
Aren't we all working on ourselves all the time? Matt? I got taller, faster, stronger, fierce.
Bowen Yang
Wellness is so important. I agree. We have to self care.
Megan Thee Stallion
And I do care a lot about myself.
Aaron Jackson
Okay, Megan, are you ready for this week's? I don't think so, honey.
Megan Thee Stallion
It was so hard for me to pick just one. Let's do it.
Aaron Jackson
This is Megan's. I don't think so, honey. Her time starts now.
Megan Thee Stallion
I don't think so, honey. With height restrictions on roller coasters, it's high discrimination and frankly, absurd. And what about the Met Gala being a human only event? I don't think so, Anna. Oh, and I don't think so, honey with Chucky. If you're going to represent the killer doll community, you got to put a little more effort in the hair. It's called a comb. Oh, and I really don't think so, honey. With super heroes, nobody can really pull off a cape. Like, the trend is over and was never cute. How about something with a little more, I don't know, homicide for your entertainment dollar? I also don't think so, honey.
Aaron Jackson
And that's one minute. Wow, that was a lot.
Megan Thee Stallion
Yeah, sorry, a lot. Pisses me off.
Bowen Yang
Feels good to let it out, though. Well, it's been a delight to have you on, babe.
Megan Thee Stallion
The honor really was yours. One more thing, fellas. I think you should update what you call all your listeners.
Aaron Jackson
What do you mean?
Megan Thee Stallion
I mean readers, publicists and Megans. If you see one movie this summer, obviously go see Megan 2.0 in theaters June 27th. And if you only see two, see Megan twice. I don't wear a cape, for crying out loud.
Bowen Yang
Okay, we'll be there.
Megan Thee Stallion
Happy pride, boys.
Bowen Yang

Aaron Jackson
That'S zola.com. i really want to go to Twinks vs. Dolls this year.
Matt Rogers
Me too. But it's always like it's so packed. It's packed and there's like, there's, there's no air conditioning. You're allowed to smoke cigarettes. You're in a war torn. I always see the videos. I'm like, thank God.
Aaron Jackson
Because one of is like, who can smoke a cigarette the fastest?
Matt Rogers
I celebrate. But as I recently walked into a house party and went. I stepped through the door and said I'm too old.
Aaron Jackson
That's amazing. I'm getting there.
Matt Rogers
I love the youth and I love to be the old weird grandmother with the youth. But sometimes you just walk in and you're like, I'm too.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, of course.
Matt Rogers
And that is simply. I went with like air conditioning in the event. In the middle of Pride.
Aaron Jackson
Yes. Yes.
Matt Rogers
Not because of the Twinks and the dolls fighting. I would love to watch that at my age or any age.
Bowen Yang
There was actually a time like not long ago where I was, I was sort of talking about like how, oh, I was talking to someone but then I realized they were 22 and I just couldn't talk to them anymore. And I realized that's ages. And I realized I was talking to a bunch of 24 year olds.
Matt Rogers
Right.
Bowen Yang
And I was just like, where's the line? Got it.
Matt Rogers
Where is the line?
Bowen Yang
And I realized I'm old and weird.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh Sharp
And it's brave to be both. It's brave to be both.
Bowen Yang
Old versus weird.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, this is weird.
Matt Rogers
That's going to be a crazy cool weird chat.
Aaron Jackson
I miss cool weird chat.
Bowen Yang
Me too. John.
Josh Sharp
Era.
Aaron Jackson
An era.
Josh Sharp
An era.
Aaron Jackson
Tell us about. Tada.
Bowen Yang
Why don't you tell us what that is?
Josh Sharp
I'd love to. So I'll be telling some of my jokes and my stories.
Aaron Jackson
Yes.
Josh Sharp
In the narrative standup kind of way. And yet I'll be doing a 2000 slide PowerPoint where I'm powering it and I've memorized all the cues. So we're sort of juggling that tightrope walk while we give you the laughs and pathos that is the Off Broadway stand up experience.
Aaron Jackson
When. What will it feel like, you know, when you, you know. Hopefully this is in decades from now when you close the show. But what will it feel like to release those cues that have been sort of swimming in your house?
Matt Rogers
Need to know.
Josh Sharp
I'm going to make them.
Matt Rogers
How is he to know how that works?
Bowen Yang
Yeah, it's not the future yet.
Josh Sharp
I'm going to. I know when the show ends, I'm going to make them open source, copyright free. Everyone can own it. Everyone can do with them what they want.
Aaron Jackson
I love that.
Bowen Yang
So how are you going to make it funny?
Matt Rogers
You got to make Ru laugh.
Bowen Yang
You gotta make me laugh. What a crazy thing to say to me.
Josh Sharp
Make me laugh. Bowen Connection is the person who's designed because there's a lot of text in the show.
Aaron Jackson
Amazing.
Josh Sharp
We got a custom font made by Mr. Teddy Blanks, who did the title cards for Wicked and Barbie and Nosferatu. And Nosferatu.
Bowen Yang
Wow. Text queen stuff.
Josh Sharp
And he made me a font that I'll be using.
Aaron Jackson
Can I say something about people who make typefaces, fonts and all also who like graphic design and brand shit at the highest caliber?
Matt Rogers
Is it appropriate?
Bowen Yang
They felt different once, too.
Aaron Jackson
They felt different once.
Bowen Yang
They felt different once.
Aaron Jackson
No, they're like. They're just like comedy nerds. Emily Oliver at Pentagon and Teddy.
Josh Sharp
They're just like, Teddy did Omar as well.
Aaron Jackson
Like, these people just.
Josh Sharp
Kate.
Aaron Jackson
Kate Berlanthe show.
Josh Sharp
Kate's show.
Aaron Jackson
Like, these people just love a comedy show. Like, Emily Oberman. Like, designed every SNL logo since the 90s. Designed the 30 Rock logo for the show. Design, like, just designs everything.
Matt Rogers
What comedy were you into when you were little?
Bowen Yang
Can we say?
Aaron Jackson
And she's working on culture.
Matt Rogers
I was about to say, yeah, you can cut it.
Aaron Jackson
Nah, I don't. She would know. She doesn't care.
Matt Rogers
I love that. I don't care either.
Josh Sharp
She wants people to know of her work.
Aaron Jackson
She does. No, but Pentagon is slay Pentagon. Like, when I was working in graphic design, everyone was like, well, that's Emily Oberman. That's Pentagon.
Josh Sharp
Yeah. And you're learning.
Aaron Jackson
It's in.
Matt Rogers
That's a better eye for that. But I'm glad other people do.
Aaron Jackson
There you go.
Matt Rogers
One time I was in a musical and I was playing a role, and usually, like, the roles don't dance a lot. And I was with another role, and we were standing in the back, and I was like, I wish I could dance. And then he goes to me. But then we wouldn't get to watch.
Josh Sharp
Wow. Beautiful. A beautiful worldview. That's gorgeous.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, I love to watch.
Matt Rogers
I love to watch.
Josh Sharp
Can I just say, that's how I feel when y' all talk about the traders.
Aaron Jackson
Really?
Josh Sharp
I go. You go, wouldn't you like to know more about the traders? But then I wouldn't get to watch. You know what I mean?
Bowen Yang
You can always Watch the show and then participate in the conversation.
Matt Rogers
He'll pop in and out.
Josh Sharp
No, no, no.
Aaron Jackson
But why? Why? I ask with no judgment, but only curiosity. Why haven't you, like, been like. Let me.
Bowen Yang
Let me.
Josh Sharp
My truth is, I find it to be boring.
Matt Rogers
I'll say.
Josh Sharp
I love that. My sisters love it.
Aaron Jackson
I think it's 80s if you're honest.
Josh Sharp
I feel neutral on the show, and thus I don't really watch. But I can watch with my girls and be disconnected from the season and have fun watching them.
Matt Rogers
The challenges literally do not matter. So that is, like, a huge flaw of.
Bowen Yang
Yes.
Matt Rogers
Half of the episode could be cut and it wouldn't matter in the slightest.
Josh Sharp
I know this isn't a requisite aspect of the show, but I also don't watch, like, any of the franchises they draw from, so I also don't really.
Matt Rogers
Care about the Avengers.
Aaron Jackson
That's what I meant. I meant, like, even the Survivors drivers. And for both of you. And this is purely. This is not Housewives and all these things. Like, I feel like you. There is. There is a. Let me chase an alternate timeline where you guys are obsessed with these.
Josh Sharp
Well, let me say if Traders was drawing from. Okay, Love on the Spectrum.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Couples Therapy and Bake Off, I'd be watching. It should be Bake Off, Couples Therapy and Love on the Spectrum, people. Then I'm watching my reality. You know, I'm watching.
Matt Rogers
I usually only like reality. Reality TV when. When it's a contest. That's my problem with Housewives is, like, I find it tedious when, like, no one gets eliminated.
Bowen Yang
See, I think your issue is you're not watching Housewives like, it's a contest.
Matt Rogers
Totally. Like, at the end of the season, the winner is.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. No, to be honest, when I see the reunion at the end and you see where they're. It's almost like that those are their, like, final seeds.
Matt Rogers
Totally.
Bowen Yang
And then people don't care.
Matt Rogers
But I like the, like, next season, all new people playing the game again.
Aaron Jackson
Sure, sure.
Matt Rogers
Versus, like, any. Now that, you know, I don't care. I love it. I love to watch it with people while they tell me what I am watching.
Josh Sharp
Me too. Aaron's introduced me to all the peak Survivor seasons. I've had an amazing time.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
I often watch Housewives when I'm on a JetBlue flight. I have an amazing time.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
So I get why my sisters like them. Even if they're not the shows that are for me, they're not the culture that made me say culture is for me.
Bowen Yang
What Is something that your lover was into that as a result of them just sort of being so into it that now how you're into it.
Josh Sharp
Oh yeah.
Bowen Yang
Because you both have long time partners and I would imagine you at least picked up something from. And weren't just so into your own thing and just only ever thinking about what you want to do and acting like a narcissist that I think at some point there must have been something.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Sorry. I'm so sorry. Would you say that back? I was not listening. I was thinking about myself. Just say that all again. I was thinking about myself.
Bowen Yang
There was at least one time where. Hey, that's interesting. Something someone else was doing, saying, being involved in. What was that?
Matt Rogers
Do I have to be into it now myself or can I just enjoy it?
Bowen Yang
Well, ideally, Aaron, ideally it was something that was interesting enough that your partner was into that you wanted to stick with it.
Matt Rogers
There's a meme that Michael and I trade. It's two kittens and one sort of has his or hers little hands out. And it goes me listening to my partner's interests. And the cat, the cat is happy.
Bowen Yang
That's really cute.
Matt Rogers
Michael likes to just sort of like often stand because he's a. He's a mover around, whereas I'm sort of. I'm always like draped across furniture and he's. He's will just stand and tell me about something that I have.
Josh Sharp
No. That.
Matt Rogers
That I could never do or understand. And I. I'm simply the cat.
Bowen Yang
And so while you're like that, like the cat. Are you remembering what he's saying?
Matt Rogers
I remember some stuff but you know, sometimes he gets granular. He's telling me about like sewing patterns and things and I'm like, I'll never understand this.
Bowen Yang
So that's not one of the things I'm asking about you.
Matt Rogers
Something that he.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. What's something he loves you now love because you.
Matt Rogers
No, no, no. I'm trying to think of a singing artist he got me into back. But that would be like back in college because now we're so.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Enmeshed.
Aaron Jackson
Well, what about 20 years of penis and anus I love?
Matt Rogers
He got me into those. Honey.
Bowen Yang
Couldn't get you out.
Matt Rogers
Get me out.
Bowen Yang
You got stuck famously. Whoa. Had a hightail down to the hospital.
Matt Rogers
There is this like sub genre of erotica, like you know, fiction where like.
Bowen Yang
That he got you into.
Matt Rogers
No, I sadly got myself into this. But I don't even like the genre but have read it. It's like the top is really stupid. Like very, very dumb.
Bowen Yang
How novel and likely story.
Matt Rogers
Every porn he keeps accidentally like whoa. Like getting stuck in the bottom or the cocksucker.
Josh Sharp
Oh, whoa.
Bowen Yang
They can't get it out.
Josh Sharp
Like oh my God. In their body or in things like.
Matt Rogers
In their mouth or hole like whoa. I can't get it out.
Josh Sharp
Whoa.
Matt Rogers
It's like.
Bowen Yang
And it's the bottom sor.
Matt Rogers
Like I feel like it is usually like told from the bottoms POV and they're like. And you're here. Yeah. Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Good.
Matt Rogers
It's more like I, you know, my roommate was so hung thirst person.
Aaron Jackson
Wait. So sorry. I, I, I.
Matt Rogers
It's sort of.
Josh Sharp
I guess Michael got you into this.
Bowen Yang
No.
Matt Rogers
Michael. Michael, your husband.
Aaron Jackson
Where does Michael come in?
Bowen Yang
Just to, just to, to confirm. We did not find a thing.
Aaron Jackson
We didn't find a thing for you.
Matt Rogers
I'll think of something.
Bowen Yang
What about she?
Josh Sharp
Well, I don't want to give her more airtime but Blake did get me into Harry Potter because I had not read and he was so into it.
Aaron Jackson
Let's give her more airtime.
Josh Sharp
No, fuck her.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, fuck her. Fuck her.
Josh Sharp
Fuck the show.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
I actually my real take is I don't want to watch that show.
Bowen Yang
Who the fuck is going to watch that show? Just to make clear because we already fucking know it.
Josh Sharp
The movies don't need the show. We already have the movies. You already have the books.
Matt Rogers
What's done is the HBO Max needing. They are desperate always for another game.
Aaron Jackson
Desperate, of course.
Josh Sharp
But yeah, he did get me into that. And then there's more like he's saying like not culture but temperament things. He slows me down in ways that I appreciate.
Bowen Yang
That's wonderful.
Aaron Jackson
I want to do something. I want each of us to go around and for each of the other three people say a thing that the person got them into.
Josh Sharp
Oh, I love this.
Bowen Yang
Okay.
Josh Sharp
This is really good. Wait. Okay. I want to get this right.
Matt Rogers
I think it's both of you. For me it would be music. I can think of like specific music you've gotten into.
Bowen Yang
And I would say for Aaron, you, you reinforcing like the survivor thing for me because you pass. I feel like my also guy Branham used to talk about it a lot and I was just like once I realized that like gays like we're having fun talking about it.
Josh Sharp
Like you, you, you really have Matt Rogers broaden my pop music knowledge in a way that I appreciate because I even like pop but I listen to a lot of other things and you've like gotten me into some girls. I wouldn't have gotten into.
Bowen Yang
Really?
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Okay.
Aaron Jackson
You.
Josh Sharp
Because it came up earlier. You did get me in a. Of couple couples therapy, which.
Aaron Jackson
And he got me into couples therapy.
Josh Sharp
Oh, I didn't know that came from you.
Matt Rogers
I love this let down.
Josh Sharp
There's other things. I feel like earlier in our relationship, you helped me fill in some of the gaps of, like, Canonical. This is to Aaron Jackson canonical, you know, old school Hollywood queer film.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Because I'd seen a lot of the Top Line, but it's like I had only seen, like, three Bette Davis movies before I met Aaron.
Matt Rogers
And then 60 or something, I think.
Aaron Jackson
Yes.
Matt Rogers
And then I think you definitely got me into Persona 5 and then probably other video games.
Aaron Jackson
I'm a video game guy.
Matt Rogers
I'm that too.
Aaron Jackson
I will say weirdly. Weirdly, but like, Jesus Christ Superstar. I never. The first time I saw it was the live version at your house. Yes.
Matt Rogers
Oh, my God, that was so fun.
Aaron Jackson
That was fun. A bunch of music for you. Bunch of tv, but mostly TV for you.
Bowen Yang
A lot of reality comes from me to you.
Aaron Jackson
Yes, yes. But it is transferred in this direction, too. Sometimes Aaron reinforces what Matt. What Matt tells about.
Bowen Yang
You know, what's interesting is it's like, it's funny to, like, have that question and then us, like, have to answer it about you guys, because it's not to be, like, twee or earnest, but it truly is, like, comedy at large, like, and being yourself on stage, like, so that's like, actually true and real. I remember when you guys, like, were inviting us to hang out with you guys, it was like, whoa. Because you guys were the people that we looked up to. So I guess that's the answer if we're.
Josh Sharp
To be truly honest.
Matt Rogers
You're.
Bowen Yang
Do you remember to do that?
Matt Rogers
The duplex?
Aaron Jackson
No, no.
Matt Rogers
Will you, like, wait and for the tour, will you do that?
Bowen Yang
No, no, that is absolutely.
Josh Sharp
Will you do Bang Bang?
Aaron Jackson
I don't Bang Bang.
Josh Sharp
That's your solo number.
Bowen Yang
Can I tell you something? Whenever I'm suggesting solo numbers, you're going to think it's like, oh, so Matt can do his. No, it's so Bowen can sing Bang Bang.
Matt Rogers
Oh, I know.
Josh Sharp
And I like to give them some of the L. And we gave them Barracuda.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Bang Bang is a signature piece that needs to come back.
Matt Rogers
I literally think of you and I, no matter who sings, as Nancy Sinatra or whatever.
Bowen Yang
I'm like, no, he does it better. He does it. He does it better than Gaga.
Aaron Jackson
No, absolutely. I'm doing a good Gaga impression. When I sang well and you've made it.
Josh Sharp
Stephanie would agree.
Bowen Yang
It's the best performance of the song I've seen.
Josh Sharp
Can I say something? I'm reading Jeff Hiller's memoir right now. Delightful plug. He brings up this moment of, like, him being the, you know, like, only gay guy at UCB and how much he was like, you know, referencing Wicked at on herald night and the coach being like, that's too niche. Don't make references like that.
Bowen Yang
You know what I mean? Love that.
Josh Sharp
And then through, like, seeing us do twins and then all of this, he was like, I sort of learned from my daughters to be myself. And I. I feel that in a big way, too. Of like, when you're saying, like, oh, you taught. I'm like, yeah. But then when y' all were doing what you were doing, it allowed me to be like, oh, shit. There's parts of myself I'm not accessing and not leaning into. It's all cyclical. You know what I mean? We're your younger cousins. It's intergenerational. Yeah, exactly. It's not daughters, kissing cousins. And also, this is all to say, Jeff is mother and everyone needs to put respect on Jeff Hiller.
Matt Rogers
Oh, God, Jeff.
Aaron Jackson
Allure the moment.
Matt Rogers
Buy his book.
Bowen Yang
Buy his book and watch the show.
Josh Sharp
And watch the show. I love the show.
Bowen Yang
I mean, that. That is interesting.
Josh Sharp
But I think there's.
Bowen Yang
That it's a more realistic thing because I'm, like, sitting here being like, but what is it? And then I'm like, oh, it's like it's. It's hard to pin. Pinpoint, because it's just, like, been everything.
Aaron Jackson
H. I love that we should write.
Josh Sharp
I love that it's everything.
Aaron Jackson
We should write a Broadway show.
Josh Sharp
We should write a Broadway show.
Bowen Yang
All of us. It's for the tour.
Matt Rogers
For the tour. It's about.
Bowen Yang
I think it goes to Broadway. Broadway.
Josh Sharp
Do you think getting.
Bowen Yang
No, it's, like, not in four cities. It's on Broadway.
Josh Sharp
It's on Broadway. That's one of the four cities.
Matt Rogers
Four cities.
Bowen Yang
Broadway, Hollywood, West End.
Josh Sharp
West End.
Bowen Yang
Disney and Tokyo Disney.
Josh Sharp
I want to do one of the, like, little amphitheaters in the park.
Matt Rogers
You know what I mean?
Josh Sharp
Like, yeah, like, as one of the.
Aaron Jackson
Like, a gazebo by. By a Muppet vision.
Josh Sharp
That theater's free.
Aaron Jackson
Muppet Vision.
Bowen Yang
We can do it in the Muppet vision for long.
Matt Rogers
What are they putting in?
Bowen Yang
So the Muppet section in Hollywood Studios is going down so that Monsters, Inc. Can be built. Monsters. No, sorry. The Muppets are now Going to Rock and Roller Coaster.
Matt Rogers
Okay.
Bowen Yang
So it's sort of as is written, so it shall be done. Arrow Smith bequeaths to the Muppets, who bequeath to Monsters. Oh.
Matt Rogers
So Rock and Roller Coaster is not gonna be about Aerosmith anymore. It's gonna about.
Bowen Yang
It will be Rock and Roller Coaster starring the Muppets.
Matt Rogers
Okay, that's good.
Bowen Yang
Which I think is kind of fierce.
Josh Sharp
They make music.
Matt Rogers
I always thought I learned the ride Rock and Roller Coaster. But I did think an Aerosmith ride was a little.
Josh Sharp
At Disney.
Matt Rogers
Strange. A little strange.
Bowen Yang
It needs to go. Ten years ago, whereas the Muppets are.
Josh Sharp
A big family band working together, Matt.
Aaron Jackson
Had a theory that Rock n Roller Coaster was gonna go to Olivia Rodrigo.
Bowen Yang
I was told that in a real way. And it was someone who claimed that they knew. It was like, well, you know, they're changing the theming of Rock and Roller Coaster from Aerosmith to Olivia Rodrigo. I'm like, I kind of understand it on like a I'm gay level, but does that work on a world level?
Aaron Jackson
On a world level, like, in five years, this woman is going to look completely different.
Bowen Yang
None of it will be visually woman.
Matt Rogers
Wait, who is it?
Josh Sharp
It should be the Goofy movie band.
Matt Rogers
Oh, Power Line.
Josh Sharp
Power Line. Yeah. Thank you.
Matt Rogers
Well, wait, is it Tom Nye and Charlton who have the. They have a bit that they want Disney to be. They want the characters to be controlled, like, by. Each character has a president. So like Mickey has a president, Goofy has a president. Or, you know, of the. Of their. Is their, like, main PR person. And they're like, working. Working around, like, so they control everything. Like putting Donald in a movie, getting Donald a ride, collabing with another character. It's just really funny.
Bowen Yang
So it's like a publicist war between.
Matt Rogers
The edit called them the big six and who do you think? The big six Disney characters.
Aaron Jackson
I love that.
Bowen Yang
Well, it's Mickey. It's Minnie. But they probably share a publicist. No, you don't think so you don't think. Okay, we're giving her autonomy, and her autonomy is to choose. Everything is just the girl version of Mickey. Okay, If I'm her publicist, I'm getting on the phone.
Aaron Jackson
Mickey, Goofy, Donald. Because they're all in kingdom hearts.
Matt Rogers
There you go.
Josh Sharp
This is just a bad publicist. If she's just getting her the girl version.
Matt Rogers
I can't believe.
Bowen Yang
I'm just saying, if I. If you're to tell me that Mickey and Minnie have a different publicist.
Matt Rogers
They do.
Bowen Yang
I think Minnie's publicist Sucks.
Matt Rogers
Well, no, she's one.
Josh Sharp
You think Carrie Coon and Tracy Letts have the same publicist? They do different things.
Bowen Yang
I. I think Tracy Letts says no to a lot more than Carrie Coon.
Josh Sharp
Opportunities because they have different publicists.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, I don't know that they do. I actually would. You know what? I bet Tracy Letts is, like, doesn't even really.
Josh Sharp
He's a writer, and so is Mickey. Mickey's a writer. Minnie's a star.
Bowen Yang
I don't think that that's true.
Aaron Jackson
We haven't really seen Mickey out there.
Matt Rogers
Mickey's not out there that much either.
Aaron Jackson
Shy guy.
Josh Sharp
He's a writer.
Bowen Yang
This is what I'm gonna say.
Josh Sharp
He's the Tracy Letts.
Bowen Yang
I really think Mickey and Minnie have the same publicist.
Matt Rogers
Wow.
Bowen Yang
Just like I think Donald and Daisy. No, you know what? Daisy has a different. Because you can talk about Dai and what she's up to and what she's into, but you can't say that about Minnie.
Aaron Jackson
No, but, but, but Donald. I fear Donald has Scientologist vibes because Daisy is not showing up anywhere. It's Shelly Miscavige vibes.
Bowen Yang
What are you talking about? You know exactly where she is. She's in that room at the Disney World ride where she teaches us ballet in media.
Josh Sharp
We don't exactly.
Aaron Jackson
You don't see Daisy out. It's a huge underrepresentation of Daisy.
Bowen Yang
You can't say that Daisy Duck is like Shelley Miscavige when no one knows where Shelley Miscavige is and no one.
Aaron Jackson
Knows where Daisy is.
Bowen Yang
She in two places. The Mickey and Minnie runaway railway in Orlando and the one in Anaheim. We've seen her twice what she does on the Runway. The Shelly Miskovich thing is serious. The Daisy Duck thing is not. She's got her own publicist and she has a job. She's a dance teacher.
Matt Rogers
I think this is good.
Aaron Jackson
This is good.
Matt Rogers
And then we were thinking, well, Chip.
Bowen Yang
And Dale, Goofy's got a fucked publicist.
Matt Rogers
Like, it's.
Bowen Yang
What is a gooner. He's a gooner.
Aaron Jackson
The publicist is a gooner. Or Goofy's a good.
Bowen Yang
I think they're both good.
Matt Rogers
Why not?
Josh Sharp
I've been really saying it a lot lately.
Matt Rogers
Josh has been saying that a lot due to his Spanish lessons, I guess.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
How are they going along?
Josh Sharp
Oh, bueno, bueno. Natalia.
Aaron Jackson
Natalia.
Josh Sharp
Una lesbiana Colombiana. Malta Obsession. Ariana Grande.
Bowen Yang
She's obsessed with Ariana Grande. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
And she's a Colombian lesbian.
Josh Sharp
She's a Colombian lesbian living in Malta.
Aaron Jackson
That's cute.
Josh Sharp
She rules.
Bowen Yang
Did she? Sorry, how did it come up? Ariana, did you tell her that you knew someone who knew her well? Did you.
Aaron Jackson
You know her well?
Josh Sharp
It's me. Oftentimes it's like, what did you do this weekend? Oftentimes it's like, what did you do this weekend? I'm like, fue sa noche and vivo. I went to Saturday Night Live. And she's like, wait, Ariana Grande hosted? Did you meet her? And I go, well, yeah. I was like, she's sort of a friend. See?
Aaron Jackson
Wow.
Josh Sharp
Somos amigas. In reality, that's amigas.
Aaron Jackson
Your Spanish sounds fab.
Bowen Yang
It sounds great.
Josh Sharp
It's gotten better. It was one of my things after the accident that I was like, I want to reclaim this thing and be like, next time I go back to Mexico, I'm like, oh, remember last time you came? And now you speak better Spanish. You know, like one of those where I was like, I need to come back and not feel like I'm coming back after the time that almost killed me. It's like, oh, I'm coming back Spanish.
Aaron Jackson
And to learn more about the accident, go to actually.
Bowen Yang
A lot about the accident in time.
Josh Sharp
It's. Yeah, there's like, it's certain in the last, like 20 minutes.
Matt Rogers
I love biente.
Aaron Jackson
See?
Bowen Yang
And if you don't know what the accident is, you got to go to the show.
Aaron Jackson
The accident is profound.
Bowen Yang
It's formative.
Josh Sharp
Well, I know the culturistas girls, the Katies, the publicists, the readers. They support Aaron and I in a deep and down way.
Bowen Yang
Yes, they do.
Josh Sharp
And they'll become Instagram house theater. I know this Sam Pinkleton, directing director.
Bowen Yang
We don't know that much more information. It's going to be incredible.
Matt Rogers
We were joking that this, this, this appearance on Lost Culturesis is for Josh Press. And he goes, we should do it together, right? And I was like, yes, we did my novel one together too.
Josh Sharp
Because I am sort of doing a bunch of podcasts right now for this and this is the only one we're doing together. And we truly were like, that's true forever. I think if Aaron's like, truly, like on an Oscar campaign to be the biggest actress in the world, we'll be like, well, but you'll do everything.
Matt Rogers
That's what I'm being a mag on my Oscar. Oscar campaign.
Josh Sharp
We've sworn to never be on this podcast alone, but what if your name.
Aaron Jackson
Is in the gay village, like Spacey?
Josh Sharp
I think we will, we will stick to each other.
Matt Rogers
That's kind of.
Josh Sharp
Well, that's actually for y' all. Then if one of us becomes spacey, it's like, well, are you going to book the other?
Matt Rogers
I love. There's a sentence. Blackened in the gay village.
Aaron Jackson
Blackened in the gay village.
Bowen Yang
Blackened in the gay village.
Aaron Jackson
There is a gay village. You must know, honey.
Josh Sharp
And it's called Pines.
Matt Rogers
It's called Pines.
Bowen Yang
I was going to say it's called P Town.
Josh Sharp
And it's called P Town.
Bowen Yang
And it's called the Gay Village.
Josh Sharp
Barracuda.
Matt Rogers
It's called Chelsea. It's called Chelsea Hell's Kitchen.
Josh Sharp
It's called Chelsea Hell's Kitchen.
Bowen Yang
So you're sort of cooked then for the rest of the summer once it starts.
Josh Sharp
It's been very fun as people are like, do you have any summer plans to go anywhere? I'm like, I'm actually traveling nowhere. I'm spending all summer treading the boards in the West Vil. There's a romance to being like. I'm doing my Off Broadway show seven times a week, and then I'm going to Via Carota for a martini every night. You know what I mean? I'm living in that romance.
Matt Rogers
Julius or Temperance wine bar we love.
Josh Sharp
I'm living in the romance of being like a summer spin. Off Broadway in the West Village. Great AC at the Greenwich House Theater. Don't worry, Aaron.
Bowen Yang
Are you sensitive?
Josh Sharp
You need ac.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, I want Texan. So I think it's not going to.
Aaron Jackson
Be Twinks versus Dolls. It's going to be, well, Eric's issue.
Matt Rogers
And I want to say everyone should go to Twinks versus dollar. And I'd love to come.
Aaron Jackson
I would love to go.
Matt Rogers
If there's air conditioning and it's not insane. I can't go because I'll be in rehearsals place.
Josh Sharp
I want to get a shirt soon that says, I can't. I have tech.
Matt Rogers
Don't you think that'd be fun?
Josh Sharp
To make that my personality? I can't. I have tech in a summer. Make that my personality.
Matt Rogers
Do the dry erase board around your neck because you're on vocal rest.
Aaron Jackson
Love that. Nah. For some reason, an image that flashed in my mind last night was like, Sadie Sink, like, her whole summer. Just like, I guess I'm going home after the show. Like, I'm not. I'm not not going out because I. I had the itch to go out last night, but I was like, but, you know. You know who's not going out this summer? Put some respect.
Bowen Yang
She's got.
Josh Sharp
And she's a doll. Can I Just say she's a doll.
Matt Rogers
She's a.
Aaron Jackson
She is a doll.
Josh Sharp
Because I've gotten to know her through Kimmy in the show.
Bowen Yang
Oh, really?
Josh Sharp
She's lovely in that way where sometimes when a person is that famous, you're like, we felt this about Megan Thee Stallion. We're like, she could roll up and be a bitch down and I'd be like, worth it because of your talent, because of your everything. And Megan Thee stallion, the kindest person we've ever worked, worked with. So lovely. Sadie Sink, nice as all damn hell.
Bowen Yang
So I believe that 100 looks you.
Josh Sharp
In the eyes, asking you questions, remembers things about you, you know what I mean?
Bowen Yang
Like wonderful and great and great in the show. Really good.
Josh Sharp
And they all are. Every girl is great. Everyone's telling you, like true ensemble piece. And also speaks to Sadie, to me, that I'm like, it's very cool that in this moment of like her big. You're like, I want to do an ensemble piece that like involves a lot of other people, you know, and it's.
Bowen Yang
About what it's about. Yeah, I mean, that's what I left thinking being like, oh, she really like, you know, swung the big stick she's got in the industry and, you know, like, in this way of highlighting this play, which is, I think gonna be made much more popular if she. Than if she hadn't done it.
Aaron Jackson
I agree.
Josh Sharp
And actually, I have a real request for Katies and readers because Kimmy, who again, is like rural Georgia girl and me rural North Carolina boy. And it happens that her Broadway show's running this summer. When my show is. We always joke that we're like, my dream is someone does a two show day and goes to see John Proctor. And in my dream, imagine the freak who does a two show day of two shows. And one of your people will do that. And if you do, DM us because we want to celebrate you.
Bowen Yang
Is John Proctor open ended? Do we notice that it's running through.
Josh Sharp
End of August right now? Leaving. And they have this new girl whose name I'm forgetting, but she's fabulous. And it's through end of August right now.
Aaron Jackson
Love.
Matt Rogers
And my show's three do a marvel.
Josh Sharp
She's leaving to do a marvel.
Bowen Yang
To do a marvel.
Josh Sharp
She's leaving to do a marvel.
Bowen Yang
Well, it's like you give them one. One for you, one for them, for the bank. One. John Proctor is the villain. One marvel for.
Aaron Jackson
For them.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
I need a publicist to do both shows in one day.
Aaron Jackson
Now, do we settle who the big six Were in Disney.
Matt Rogers
Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Goofy, Pluto.
Josh Sharp
Pluto. And do Goofy and Pluto have the same publicist?
Bowen Yang
No. No.
Matt Rogers
Pluto is Goofy's dog.
Josh Sharp
God.
Bowen Yang
You all do.
Matt Rogers
Because Goofy is a dog.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Slave. Slave.
Josh Sharp
Not so far as any pet. Is that what you mean?
Matt Rogers
Well, they're the the same species, but one is.
Josh Sharp
Ah, yes, one is.
Matt Rogers
One is owner. One is.
Aaron Jackson
Or.
Bowen Yang
Man'S best friend by Sabrina Carpenter or gay couple.
Matt Rogers
Pup play.
Aaron Jackson
Pup play. Goofy doesn't have a love interest, quote unquote.
Matt Rogers
No, he doesn't. There's no Goofina.
Aaron Jackson
There's no Goofy. Huh?
Bowen Yang
Huh? There's no. It's actually roller coaster number 30.
Josh Sharp
There's no goofina.
Bowen Yang
There isn't a Goofina. Goofina. There is no Goofy.
Matt Rogers
Goofina.
Josh Sharp
There is no Goofina. Bring us Goofina.

No, Goofa's their non binary friend.
Matt Rogers
Oh, Goofa. And they're all slutty. They're Goofy's ex and they're non binary.
Bowen Yang
They're real slut.

They're a gape slut, Gabe.
Aaron Jackson

Josh Sharp
They're a gape horse. Slut horse.
Bowen Yang
Shop it with gape. I'm telling you.
Matt Rogers
You want to stop the gapes.

Matt Rogers
Mind the gates. Uh huh.
Aaron Jackson

Matt Rogers
Sure. Sure.
Aaron Jackson
Frozen gapes.
Matt Rogers
What's your problem with gapes?
Bowen Yang
Sometimes too big.
Josh Sharp
Yeah. Look in the mirror.
Matt Rogers
Looking in the mirror.
Bowen Yang
Did you see. Did you see that character on gay Twitter that was going around with the big big.
Matt Rogers
No, the character.
Bowen Yang
When I say character, I mean real human man who was like no.
Josh Sharp
And can I say to the earlier question, this is what you've taught me. This is what you've brought to me.
Matt Rogers
Taught me this.
Josh Sharp
This is what you've taught me. This is what you've taught me.
Bowen Yang
You have been changed because.
Aaron Jackson
Because.
Bowen Yang
Because I knew you, I figured I've been changed for good. The way she goes. For good.
Matt Rogers
For good.
Bowen Yang
I was just like you.
Aaron Jackson
Just wait. You say I've never been to New York.
Bowen Yang
I've never been to New York. New York.
Matt Rogers
There's rumor she wants to come back to the boards.
Aaron Jackson
Rosie.
Bowen Yang
Broadway?
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, the Irish boards.
Matt Rogers
That's where she is.
Bowen Yang
Maybe the West End.
Josh Sharp
The North End.
Bowen Yang
I don't think she's coming back to America. I really don't.
Matt Rogers
If you. If she did, what do you want to see her at?
Josh Sharp
Well, she did for Redwood.
Bowen Yang
Anything.
Matt Rogers
Redwood.
Bowen Yang
I would. To be clear, I'd love this country to be safe enough for Rosie o' Donnell to be in it.
Matt Rogers
Oh, God. All that aside, what do you want to see, Rosie?
Bowen Yang
Oh, Gypsy. There's. I said it.
Aaron Jackson
Oopsie.
Bowen Yang
I want to say, do you want.
Matt Rogers
To see her in. But do you want to see her in Odd.
Aaron Jackson
But that was really good.
Bowen Yang
Someone tell me, when is it my turn?
Matt Rogers
Don't I get.
Bowen Yang
Don't I get a dream for myself? I could kill the role.
Josh Sharp
You could kill the role of.
Bowen Yang
Do you know what actually is the role I was born to play?
Matt Rogers
What?
Bowen Yang
Norma Desmond, Nicole Schwarzenegger, singer version. I actually would.
Josh Sharp
You could tell a whole story with your eyes.
Matt Rogers
You'd be good in that.
Bowen Yang
I. If I ever get.
Josh Sharp
Wait, do the camera. The little eye moment when they pull in on her eyes. Do it to one of these.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, the eyebrow lift, too. That's really good.
Bowen Yang
If I ever get. What's it, Broadway backwards or whatever. Whatever. Yes, I will do that.
Josh Sharp
Miscast.
Bowen Yang
Miscast.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh Sharp
Probably you're thinking Broadway Bears. Oh, you should do it at Broadway Bears in the nude.
Bowen Yang
Me and like, all close, like a huge, really heavy, heavy garment. Singing with one look at Broadway Bears while everyone starts crying.
Josh Sharp
But you say with one gate.
Bowen Yang
They're not even with one gate. They're crying because they're so.
Aaron Jackson
They're like, we paid so much money.
Bowen Yang
To watch Nick Adams and like, we not singing with one look.
Matt Rogers
My college.
Bowen Yang
I hate it.
Matt Rogers
My college friend, Nick Adams.
Josh Sharp
Really?
Bowen Yang
I didn't know that.
Aaron Jackson
Angel, you ever rubbed dicks?
Matt Rogers
No, no, no, no.
Bowen Yang
All right, well, that's boring story.
Matt Rogers
And I wouldn't kiss and tell even if we.
Josh Sharp
Yes, you would. Oh, yeah.
Matt Rogers
I never kiss and tell.
Josh Sharp
Roll tape.
Aaron Jackson
Roll tape.
Bowen Yang
It's a tape of him kissing and telling.
Matt Rogers
And then me be like, I'm kissing this.
Josh Sharp
This one.
Bowen Yang
I got something to tell you. What's a time you really regretted hurting.
Josh Sharp
Someone when I didn't cast you in Dicks the Musical?
Matt Rogers
Yeah, definitely that.
Josh Sharp
When I didn't cast you as Neighbor number two, as Mr.
Matt Rogers
Neighbor, as Ms. Mixed Neighbor.
Bowen Yang
Could have been funny.
Matt Rogers
I don't know. When I really regretted her literally thinking about. I threw. I threw sand in little girl's eyes when we were little.
Bowen Yang
Evil bitch.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, it was nasty.
Aaron Jackson
What did she do to deserve that?
Matt Rogers
She was being some sort of way. And then she blamed the boy I was standing next to, and he went to the principal's office.
Bowen Yang
And you weren't even at the.
Matt Rogers
School. What?
Bowen Yang
I can see the whole emotional landscape of this. You. She probably was picking on you because she liked you. You took sand in your hand, threw it in her face. She goes. It was the other boy still wanting to defend you.
Josh Sharp
Still.
Bowen Yang
Because she wanted. She. She's just. She was blinded.
Matt Rogers
She was infatuated blinded.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, well, I wasn't even talking about it like that. But yes, I feel bad about little girl.
Matt Rogers
I wish I had not thrown sand into your eyes.
Bowen Yang
You don't remember her name?
Matt Rogers
Not all. I don't even think we were in the same class.
Aaron Jackson
Oh.
Bowen Yang
Where do you guys stand on saying people from high school's first and last name just because you know them?
Josh Sharp
Depends. What do you mean? Like on air? Just in your life?
Bowen Yang
Sort of in life. All of a sudden they're living their life and like, they're. They're, you know, doing. Going about their day and someone goes, oh, my God. You were mentioned front end, behind named.
Matt Rogers
We were. Was it you? Me and Patrick Rogers were out together one time, and somebody was like, oh, my. My good friend from Honors English, this girl I used to know in honors English texted me. And then we were all like, I'm going to text my good friend from honors English because the girls you met.
Josh Sharp
In honest English English saved your life.
Bowen Yang
And everyone right now, your friend from.
Josh Sharp
Honors English, we literally did this recently at a concert.
Aaron Jackson
Are we doing this now? Wait, I don't know my exact girl.
Josh Sharp
We'll do it as soon as it rats.
Matt Rogers
You have to say God, thank you.
Bowen Yang
Here's what you have to do. Becca, bring in my phone. We're all going to text a girl from high school honors or no.
Aaron Jackson
I know. I'm just going to shout this person.
Bowen Yang
Out and we're going to see who gets a text. Text back first.
Josh Sharp
No, it's a text back first.
Matt Rogers
Why?
Bowen Yang
Because you know you're not gonna win.
Aaron Jackson
I. It's. It is very out of the blue. Like, I've not reached out to this person. Like, this is.
Bowen Yang
Hence the bit. Okay, here comes Becca with the phone.
Josh Sharp
But I don't thank.
Bowen Yang
Okay, great. So you don't have your phone either?
Josh Sharp
No.
Bowen Yang
Jesus. Do you?
Josh Sharp
Giving professional down. Giving professional down. Three way.
Aaron Jackson
Three way race.
Matt Rogers
Okay, what are we saying to them?
Bowen Yang
Text a girl from high school English.
Matt Rogers
Go. Okay, but what is the task?
Josh Sharp
Say whatever you think will be.
Bowen Yang
Whatever. Whatever.
Josh Sharp
Really?
Bowen Yang
I'm just gonna say back in New York.
Josh Sharp
Back in New York. Just wanted you to know I'm doing well.
Aaron Jackson
I book all the time random here. I'm saying random ass.
Bowen Yang
Back in New York. When can we do berries?
Josh Sharp
What are you gonna say to yours?
Matt Rogers
I'm saying happy, happy belated birthday to rescinded the name of her child.
Josh Sharp
Yay.
Bowen Yang
I think I'm gonna. I think I'm gonna get a text back.
Josh Sharp
This is so huge.
Bowen Yang
And mind you, I didn't say that you couldn't have talked to this person in a long time. I just said that had to be a girl from high school English.
Josh Sharp
And let me just say. I know we could have also fetched my phone and I could have participated, but then I wouldn't get to watch.
Bowen Yang
I can't believe you guys are still texting. You could have just shut off something so sweet.
Aaron Jackson
No, it's because it's been a long time and it's, it is such a wild, like, what the.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Such joy at this concert to text that person.
Bowen Yang
It is kind of the girl that saved your life from you, Bowen Yang. I don't know.
Aaron Jackson
No, I'm just. But I'm just saying, like, like it's been, like it, I don't know.
Matt Rogers
It's been a decade.
Aaron Jackson
It's been a decade. Last text I sent her June 25, 2013.
Bowen Yang
Mine.
Josh Sharp
Oh, my God.
Bowen Yang
What? Mine was on my birthday because I got a birthday text.
Aaron Jackson
I don't keep up with high school friends.
Matt Rogers
I, I, I don't. This one. I would love to more, but I just don't.
Bowen Yang
But these women say she's got her re. Receipts on, and I say she hasn't read it yet.
Aaron Jackson
I just want to shout out, Kayla Sturback, you really. She. She introduced me to Radiohead King.
Bowen Yang
You got to get back to klo.
Matt Rogers
Introduced me to Radiohead, my friend. I don't know if it was Rudy Hood, but she got me. She got me into Bjork, Erica Badu, Melanie Chase.
Aaron Jackson
Back then those behind every gay guy with, like, good music taste is a straight girl in honors English who taught them those things?
Bowen Yang
Sam didn't teach me any, any, any.
Josh Sharp
Cool singers didn't teach me any cool.
Bowen Yang
Things, but she was class president and I was the secretary.
Matt Rogers
Oh, wow. Were you good at that?
Bowen Yang
I was okay at that. We both won an award at Our high school for being the top Pennsylvania students. I went to prom with Kincaid Suffolk Zone award.
Josh Sharp
Did any of you go to prom with these women?
Aaron Jackson
Yes, I went to prom.
Josh Sharp
I went to prom with Kayla.
Matt Rogers
I went to prom. But I went to like a. Like freshman or sophomore year, like dance the Valentine's Day.
Josh Sharp
As a gay guy, you needed the girl from honors English who gave you cool music and would go with you to prom.
Aaron Jackson
So Pat Regan was the one who inspired this?
Matt Rogers
No. Patrick Rogers.
Aaron Jackson
Patrick Rogers.
Josh Sharp
But I can't remember why it came up.
Matt Rogers
I was maybe texting. I think I was talking about how Melanie got me into all my cool music.
Josh Sharp
Maybe that was it. Yeah. Oh yeah. We were having that conversation. We were having a weird girl night. We were like, we need to all detects that girl.
Aaron Jackson
This is the thing about like.
Josh Sharp
And say I love you. I cherish you.
Aaron Jackson
I love you. I cherish you. A lot of gay men who moved to New York City did the morning announcements.
Bowen Yang
I did.
Josh Sharp
I did the morning announcements.
Bowen Yang
No way.
Aaron Jackson
I did.
Matt Rogers
I did the morning and I did not.
Bowen Yang
Three out of four of us.
Josh Sharp
I did the morning announcements.
Aaron Jackson
Were either prom or homecoming royalty.
Bowen Yang
I was.
Aaron Jackson
I was.
Matt Rogers
Michael was. Michael was prom K. Michael was prom.
Aaron Jackson
K. So I was. I was homecoming.
Bowen Yang
You were homecoming king and read the announcements. And I was prom king under the announcements period.
Aaron Jackson
I think we've been over.
Bowen Yang
No, no. I mean we have, but now I'm just. For the sake of everyone new at home, I'm kind of like, wow, that's cool.
Josh Sharp
And you're acting it like it's the first time.
Bowen Yang
And you know, Bowen superlative was your likely to get on Saturday Night Live.
Matt Rogers
Was it really?
Aaron Jackson
Yeah, but that. That was like the. The. The funny way of like funny as a class clown. Yeah, that was like.
Josh Sharp
Mine was.
Bowen Yang
I was second place for three things.
Josh Sharp
Mine was most likely to do a 21st. First movie.
Aaron Jackson
21St.
Bowen Yang
I guess we still have be musical. I guess we'll see if that happens in 8. 24.
Matt Rogers
Mine was most likely to be on Broadway, which I haven't done. Most likely be on Broadway.
Bowen Yang
Love. I was second place for best dressed most athletic and attached at the hip with my bestie.
Josh Sharp
I actually don't remember. I think it was class clown or something, but I don't remember.
Aaron Jackson
Sure. And then call my father Otter's English class girl who taught you cool music.
Matt Rogers
Oh yeah.
Aaron Jackson
That's like the common thread of three ain't bad. Well, I bet you have another one. You're just lead of plays.
Matt Rogers
Feels very gay guy going To New York.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, wait.
Bowen Yang
Oh, my God. Did she get back? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What she said. Omg.
Aaron Jackson
Is this for real? Every time I. Oh, wait.
Josh Sharp
What did you say? Do you feel comfortable reading what you said?
Aaron Jackson
I said random ass. Hello, it's Bowen. If you're ever in New York, please reach out and say, hey. Hope all is well. Kayla Hard emoji.
Bowen Yang
And what did she say?
Aaron Jackson
Omg. Is this for real? Every time I see you on screen, I get so excited you made it. I actually still have you saved in my phone. I'm so happy for you. I'll definitely reach out if I ever find myself out that way. Kayla Honors English Kayla Stirback.
Bowen Yang
Can I say I can't believe Sam is flopping so hard.
Matt Rogers
So you made it a contest.
Bowen Yang
This sucks, Sam.
Josh Sharp
I find some of this was after the accident, but some of it, I think, is just becoming the age we're becoming. I have been a lot more wistful because I do feel like, especially being like, yeah, rural south and whatever. I moved on from that period of my life and then I just. Not. I don't think of it much. And I've become very wistful for some of that. And I've done a lot of this where I'll just, like, remember people and text and I'm doing a lot of that recently. It's good. I think it's very healthy to keep these connections and to tell these people, like, you know, you did something you.
Bowen Yang
Did for me because I.
Josh Sharp
Because I.
Bowen Yang
Knew I have been changed for good. I've been changed for good. I really am.
Matt Rogers
For good.
Bowen Yang
Because I knew you. We really. We. Oh, we need more of that.
Josh Sharp
Has Rosie been on?
Bowen Yang
No. I would love Rosie on.
Josh Sharp
Absolutely. We need Rosie on. We need Rosie on.
Bowen Yang
I think it. I think have been a discussion at one point.
Josh Sharp
You need to have Kimberly Bellflower and Rosie o' Donnell.
Bowen Yang
I'm sure Rosie is a fan of yours. And Rosie one time said a very nice comment about something I was. I did. Were you? I bet she.
Aaron Jackson
I was gonna say there's a certain.
Josh Sharp
Class of celebrity where I go, I wonder if they've seen dicks, because I feel like they probably have and Rosie is one of them.
Matt Rogers
You think she has.
Josh Sharp
Don't you imagine she loves musicals.
Bowen Yang
I think she loves musicals and she loves all things gay.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. She said a nice thing about. I love that for you.
Matt Rogers
Oh, that's.
Josh Sharp
I could see her liking that.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Well, I loved that show.
Aaron Jackson
This is what you tell a 24 marketing Hey, a 20. Fur 824. Hey, Ariana Grande. Huge fan of Dicks the Musical. Yeah, Use that clip. That clip.
Bowen Yang
That clip it.
Matt Rogers
Clip it good.
Aaron Jackson
She was. She was.
Josh Sharp
So put it. So put out The Blu Ray. A24. Ariana wants to buy it.
Aaron Jackson
You know what Ari loves? I've told you guys this. Desperate for your car. She kept saying that her color. Desperate for your what? That is an amazing lyric.
Josh Sharp
You guys wrote Nathan Lane saying, give me, give me that.
Bowen Yang
Ari and Cynthia were great on Drag Race.
Aaron Jackson
Very.
Matt Rogers
I haven't seen.
Aaron Jackson
I haven't seen.
Bowen Yang
It was fun.
Matt Rogers
And they now they filmed it before the first one came out. Wouldn't that be true?
Bowen Yang
But everything was very clearly promoting, which.
Matt Rogers
Is very funny to me. I just. How time works and the. And the falseness of show business.
Aaron Jackson
Have we been over this? In bracket two, which, like a moment that I think speaks to all fours of us, which is when bracket two first meets up in the workroom. Lydia Butthole Collins goes to Mistress. Mistress. Isabelle Brooks and goes, Mistress, it's so good to see you. And then Mistress goes and it's interesting to see.
Bowen Yang
Interesting to see. I love Mistress.
Matt Rogers
That whole. I knew she was going to be a fake Gagatrandra. It was.
Bowen Yang
They were crazy.
Josh Sharp
Interesting to see.
Bowen Yang
Interesting to see you.
Aaron Jackson
I'm like, I want to use that suit.
Matt Rogers
The girl's really gay.
Bowen Yang
I got to tell you who also ate this last episode up was the Ginger Minch.
Josh Sharp
Should we in for the tour like Chapel Roan? Have a local drag queen open each show. And so now let's pick from New York, Chicago, L.A. and Orlando. Who are the queens? New York. Bob. Bob. The original New York opening for us.
Bowen Yang
Bob is local in LA now. Originally from Madonna. And that's not what it's about.
Josh Sharp
It's not what it's about. Bob opens New York.
Matt Rogers
Chicago. Shea Coulee.
Josh Sharp
Shea in Chicago. Okay. I love that.
Bowen Yang
We better pay up. And we will.
Josh Sharp
We will. We get our $3,000.
Matt Rogers
We actually love to text people when we're having people do our improv shows. We always say this is a paid opportunity. Because it is.
Josh Sharp
It is.
Bowen Yang
It is.
Josh Sharp
Actually.
Bowen Yang
I enjoy the chat.
Matt Rogers
Say that to these dragons.
Bowen Yang
Opportunity. We're gonna open for us. What probably would large venue. We do this. Don't worry. This is a paid opportunity.
Josh Sharp
This is a paid opportunity. LA Work.
Aaron Jackson
Delta work. It has to be Delta.
Matt Rogers
She could open Orlando.
Josh Sharp
Roxy Andrews, of course.
Bowen Yang
100. Oh, yeah. The original Ginger Minj. Double header.
Aaron Jackson
Double header, double header.
Bowen Yang
Never forget when me and Henry Kursky Ran into Roxy Andrews at Islands of Adventure.
Matt Rogers
That's really special. It was really good stuff.
Aaron Jackson
I love that really good stuff. Stuff.
Bowen Yang
Oh, my gosh, Belle, we've been wanting this icon on our show forever.
Matt Rogers
Forever.
Aaron Jackson
I cannot believe she's here. Readers, Katie's Publicist finalists, please welcome one of the biggest pop girlies of the summer, Megan One of Bowen.
Megan Thee Stallion
I think we know I'm one of one, right?
Aaron Jackson
You're the only one.
Megan Thee Stallion
Thank you. I'll admit I kind of thought I was too big for this podcast, but then Gaga and Chapel style, so I figured it was worth my time.
Aaron Jackson
Yes. Well, we are honored that you're here with us.
Megan Thee Stallion
I know the gays do love me.
Bowen Yang
They do. We do. And I love that you're giving us the perfect movie to cap off Pride Month.
Megan Thee Stallion
It really is gonna be hot Meg summer. And I'm happy to give my people a place to sit, rest, and scream at the end of June. So keep a little in the tank, boys.
Aaron Jackson
Well, we cannot wait. But, Megan, I don't mean to ask an indelicate question question, but weren't you kind of dead at the end of the last movie?
Megan Thee Stallion
Being deactivated was actually great for me because I got to renegotiate my deal for the sequel. And let's just say, as mother, I was only going to reboot if the price was right.
Aaron Jackson
Yes. You have to advocate for yourself. Get what you are worth, girl.
Megan Thee Stallion
Oh, I am. Don't you worry. Or maybe you should.
Bowen Yang
You look amazing. I feel like you look like you've had a little bit of a refresh. Like the glam is working. Are you doing anything different in your routine?
Megan Thee Stallion
Aren't we all working on ourselves all the time? Time, Matt. I got taller, faster, stronger, fierce.
Bowen Yang
Wellness is so important. I agree. We have to self care.
Megan Thee Stallion
And I do care a lot about myself.
Aaron Jackson
Okay, Megan, are you ready for this week's? I don't think so, honey.
Megan Thee Stallion
It was so hard for me to pick just one. Let's do it.
Aaron Jackson
This is Megan's. I don't think so, honey. Her time starts now.
Megan Thee Stallion
I don't think so, honey. With height restrictions on roller coasters, it's high discrimination and frank. And what about the Met gala being a human only event? I don't think so, Anna. Oh, and I don't think so, honey. With Chucky, if you're gonna represent the killer doll community, you gotta put a little more effort in there. It's called a comb. Oh, And I really don't think so, honey. With superheroes, nobody can really pull off a cape? Like the trend is over and was never cute. How about something with a little more, I don't know, homicide for your entertainment dollar? I also don't think so, honey.
Aaron Jackson
And that's one minute. Wow, that was. Was a lot.
Megan Thee Stallion
Yeah, sorry, a lot. Pisses me off.
Bowen Yang
Feels good to let it out, though. Well, it's been a delight to have you on, babe.
Megan Thee Stallion
The honor really was yours. One more thing, fellas. I think you should update what you call your listeners.
Aaron Jackson
What do you mean?
Megan Thee Stallion
I mean readers, publicists and Megans. If you see one movie this summer, obviously go see Megan 2.0 in theaters June 27th. And if you only see two, see Megan twice. I don't wear a cape, for crying out loud.
Bowen Yang
Okay, we'll be there.
Megan Thee Stallion

Well, I think it's time for. I don't think so honey.
Bowen Yang
I think it is time for I don't think so honey. This is our 60 second segment where we take some time. AKA 60 seconds. Like I just said, if you listened and I can tell a lot of you aren't, a lot of you tuned us out a long time ago. Well, listen now this, this part. Next part's going to be good.
Josh Sharp
Listen now this is.
Bowen Yang
We ran against something in culture we don't love. I'm ready to go.
Aaron Jackson
This is Matt Rogers's I don't think so honey. And his time starts now.
Bowen Yang
I don't think so honey. People having a problem. Cuz there are people out there that have a problem with Sabrina Carpenter's album cover being her getting walked around like a dog. Let me tell you something. This is. It's. You're never going to look back on razzing one of these pop girlies about the, like, subversive thing they're doing and feel good about it later. You got to let the girls be the girls. One of Madonna's early critics, you're likely embarrassed now. If you're one of Gaga's early critics, you're likely embarrassed now at all. Sabrina counts as this. If she wants to get walked around like a dog and put it on the album cover. That was her empowered decision. I am short of it.
Aaron Jackson
30 seconds.
Bowen Yang
And lots of people like to get walked around like dogs. All right. I actually have been confronted with this myself. Sexually inform me to walk the person around like a dog, but I celebrate that person. I know they're going to find an amazing partner. Just like I know Sabrina is going to find an amazing partner. I don't think she's looking for that. When she put this album title together, I think she was looking for very, very much this discussion.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
And guess what? She won. You know who loses? All you losers who are criticizing her. You, man, why don't you s t f you?
Aaron Jackson
And that's one.
Bowen Yang
I think so.
Matt Rogers
Really good.
Aaron Jackson
Very good.
Matt Rogers
She's kind of a, a, a Pluto to goofy.
Bowen Yang
I think she should be able to be walked on a leash. Off a leash.
Matt Rogers
That guy who wraps himself in the carpet.
Josh Sharp
I think Sabrina and Pluto have the same publicist.
Aaron Jackson
Yes.
Matt Rogers
Sabrina and Pluto.
Bowen Yang
Yes. That would be smart because they're, they're, they're. Because they're both different things.
Josh Sharp
Who walk around like dogs.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Can you believe though that people are literally like, I don't. I guess this is one of the.
Josh Sharp
Things that they have this conversation, honestly.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. It's just like the album cover is her and it's like, it's called man's best friend the album. And she's on all fours and like someone's got a bunch of her hair in their hand.
Aaron Jackson
Cool.
Bowen Yang
And it's like. And people are like, well, what about the messages sends to young girls? I'm like, are you actually saying that sentence?
Josh Sharp
I think boy is non gendered, man is non gendered. CIS girl. These are all non gendered terms. Who knows whose best friend to be a good romance friend is ungendered.
Aaron Jackson
Best is gendered.
Josh Sharp
Gender best is best.
Matt Rogers
Is she her she her Eve best she her.
Aaron Jackson
I don't mean to be this person, but I feel like this, this, this discourse coming out while world war three is starting.
Bowen Yang
Right.
Aaron Jackson
Also. So kind of it's like, what's going. What are we doing?
Bowen Yang
Well, I mean, like, I do think it's gotten to the point now where in the like effort to talk about anything else other than whatever horrors. And by the way, we are recording this a couple weeks before this comes out, so we may against more horrors. Nice to meet you. But like, it. It's kind of just like the desperation is. Is jumping out in terms of like finding other things to talk about. And this is just so stupid because we've had the conversation a million times. Like, she is outside of this thing of like, what's she gonna mean to young girls? She is like an artist who is.
Aaron Jackson
Empowered to do little.
Bowen Yang
And also like she said in Rolling Stone, like, it's not her that's making the songs popular. It's her that's making the songs quality. You are making them popular by consuming them. And so if you have a problem with it, stop consuming it. You just refuse to do that because you always be streaming. Sabrina. You can't help it.
Matt Rogers
Did you watch the Idol the weekends? The Idol?
Aaron Jackson
I did not.
Bowen Yang
No.
Matt Rogers
The little girl star, Lily Rose. Lily Rose. Her. She released an album cover. This is fictional. But a pic leaked of her with cum on her face. And then Troye Sivan is like, let's make that the album cover, babes. So right in a fictional world, a girl had come all over her face as an album.
Bowen Yang
Never forget to find me being like, never forget.
Josh Sharp
People did this to me in my album when the COVID was my gape.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
And look at them now.
Aaron Jackson
You're that character from Twitter.
Josh Sharp
I'm that character from Twitter.
Bowen Yang
And they said, what about what this is saying to young girls?
Josh Sharp
And I said, who?
Matt Rogers
Yeah, I don't care.
Josh Sharp
Excuse. This isn't for young girls.
Aaron Jackson
Speaking of cum, this kind of segues nicely into my own.
Bowen Yang
Perfect. So this is Bowen Yang's. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now.
Aaron Jackson
I don't think so, honey. When cum mixes with water, then it becomes little rubber bullets.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Now you work with ice. Oh, okay, honey. I see. You gotta pick a consistency and stick with it. I don't like that. It becomes hard and little rubbery congeals. Congeals into these little balls. You will never be flubber. You will never co star with Robin Williams. May he rest in peace and power. And get a pick a color Besides White. White.
Bowen Yang
30 seconds.
Aaron Jackson
First thought. You could have been green. You could have been flubber. But you will never be Come. When it mixes with water, I don't like it. Speaking of spacey, when I jerk off in the shower, I don't want to do that anymore. Because the cum gets all weird.
Josh Sharp
15 seconds. American Beauty.
Aaron Jackson
American Beauty. It's a new American Beauty reference. And God, what else? What's the big pop culture moment that come has had something about Mary.
Josh Sharp
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Monica Lewinsky, you know, Five seconds, White House interns dress. You got. You got to pick Jeffrey Toobin. That was all the 90s. You haven't had a big moment since the 90s.
Matt Rogers
And that's one minute Come.
Josh Sharp
You will never be Flubber.
Aaron Jackson
Tommy will never be.
Josh Sharp
You're stuck in the 90s. Not like flubber.
Bowen Yang
The thing that gets lost about flubber is that flubber was actually just trying to be helpful. Like, that's the thing. And he didn't like. It's like, you created what a terrible assistant. I mean, they wanted to lift the mood. They wanted to create a better work environment. They wanted to get things done quickly.
Matt Rogers
That was the idea of the invention, was lift the mood.
Aaron Jackson
Like, was to lift the mood.
Matt Rogers
I can't remember. I've seen the film. I can't quite recall.
Bowen Yang
I think the plot of the film was he created flubber and was just trying to party.
Matt Rogers
Mind of its own. Mind of its own.
Bowen Yang
Flubber was just trying to party. And also, like, I don't know, like. Or be around.
Josh Sharp
That's actually what's fucked up about cum. That come is so like, oh, shoot me. It's fun. It feels good. Ha ha ha. And it's also like, use me to make your family right. Which is it?
Aaron Jackson

Matt Rogers
Caught in the arm hair with the water.
Aaron Jackson
I caught the arm hair with the water.
Matt Rogers
Despicable.
Josh Sharp
You've been in a tub lately or in a pool. I want to know where this comes from. You've been in the tub?
Bowen Yang
No.
Josh Sharp
Where does this come from?
Bowen Yang
Tell us where.
Aaron Jackson
The come actually hasn't happened in a while. But it's. It's one of those. The first time it happened, you encountered this. You were like, what the.
Matt Rogers
What? It should wash off. You're like, okay, now I see it. It still won't go.
Bowen Yang
I jacked off in a hot tub years ago and saw this with my own two eyes. And I was like, well, if that's what happens, that's the last time for that.
Aaron Jackson
You think you're sick. You think something's wrong with you.
Matt Rogers
That's what happens. That's the last time for that.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, I said that's it. No, I think it was. I don't make it really a habit of doing it in the shower.
Aaron Jackson
You were fucking by the river.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
We can't ever tell what happened to that come because it never came out of the sky.
Matt Rogers
Right. Yours is long gone.
Aaron Jackson
I was right into. This guy did not come.
Bowen Yang
I actually didn't know that. He knows. He's big bro.
Aaron Jackson
He knows.
Matt Rogers
I'm sure someone has listened to. You know, they.
Bowen Yang
Matt Rogers in 2021. What a year down by the river.
Aaron Jackson
Great.
Bowen Yang
You might just be big bro. Gotta text him after this.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
What was I. I was gonna say something.
Josh Sharp
Everybody text big bro. Everybody text you bro.
Aaron Jackson
And see who responds to you first.
Matt Rogers
Text your king top.
Aaron Jackson
But I. I will say, here's the only bodily thing that is allowed to ruin my sheets. Poop and shit.
Josh Sharp
And even that doesn't ruin it. You can get that.
Aaron Jackson
No, no, no.
Bowen Yang
You need oxy clean.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, you need oxy. But you, you, you say when that happens, you say, God bless. I don't mind.
Josh Sharp
I say, and this happens to you every morning, you're saying.
Matt Rogers
And it's.
Aaron Jackson
It's not happening to other people and it's permissible. Poop. Poop.
Bowen Yang
Do you guys think that we could see poop?
Josh Sharp
We could see poop. We could see. We can see poop.
Bowen Yang
Do you guys think out of bone and I's friendship, that he's the top and I'm the bottom?
Matt Rogers
Out of your friend, like with friendship, top.
Bowen Yang
Friendship, bottom. Who's the top and who's the bottom?
Josh Sharp
God, my gut.
Aaron Jackson
My gut.
Josh Sharp
You're the top, but I don't know if that's right. I'm just going with my gut.
Aaron Jackson
I think Matt's the top.
Josh Sharp
Yeah, I'm going to go top, bottom.
Aaron Jackson
I'm. I'm a. I'm a chic chill bottom.
Matt Rogers
Chic chill bottom. What's the lyrics come around here with.
Josh Sharp
The who's the top? Who's the bottom in our friendship?
Bowen Yang
Do you think like two tops?
Matt Rogers
Two tops.
Josh Sharp
Two bottoms, no brain.
Matt Rogers
Never the twain shall meet.
Aaron Jackson
Never the twin.
Bowen Yang
Never the twink shall.
Josh Sharp
Never the twink. Never the twain shall twink.
Bowen Yang
So what do you think?
Josh Sharp
You got one?
Bowen Yang
I don't think so, honey.
Matt Rogers
I gotta get one.
Josh Sharp
I have one. Yes. I'm ready.
Bowen Yang
All right. Well, this is Josh Sharp's. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now.
Josh Sharp
I don't think so, people.
Matt Rogers
Who.
Josh Sharp
I don't think so, honey.
Bowen Yang
No, people.
Josh Sharp
Let's take it from the top.
Bowen Yang
That was insulting.
Josh Sharp
No, take it from the top.
Bowen Yang
Keep all that insult. Because that was insulting that you.
Aaron Jackson
You've been on this show for nine.
Matt Rogers
Years to see a pro fuck up so bad.
Aaron Jackson
It's inspiring.
Josh Sharp
Let's take it from the top.
Aaron Jackson
All right.
Bowen Yang
This doesn't happen during the off Broadway play.
Josh Sharp
I have a very good one.
Matt Rogers
Okay.
Josh Sharp
Okay.
Bowen Yang
This is Josh Sharp's. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now.
Josh Sharp
I don't think so, honey. People who don't like the things I like, I like things. And when the things that I like happen, I like that the feeling I feel is light.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Someone does something I like, maybe I join in because I like that thing too. Or even if the circumstances don't allow me to join in, I like that they're doing the thing I like.
Bowen Yang
Don't do it.
Josh Sharp
When people do something I don't like, I feel disliked.
Bowen Yang
Got it?
Josh Sharp
I am frustrated. I am annoyed.
Bowen Yang
30 seconds. I don't like that.
Josh Sharp
Why are you doing this thing I don't like when you could just do the things that I like, do better. So I implore you when you are around me, and honestly, even. Even when you aren't, because behind closed doors you're your most true self. Do things I like.
Bowen Yang
Listen up, honey.
Josh Sharp
Don't do things I dislike.
Bowen Yang
10 seconds.
Josh Sharp
I wish to feel like I do not want to be clouded by dislike in my day to day life cloud is. All of you need to do things that I like when you are around me. And even if not, I like what I like. And you should too.
Bowen Yang
And that's. One minute.
Matt Rogers
That was powerful.
Bowen Yang
That was. Was so good.
Aaron Jackson
That was poetry.
Matt Rogers
Poetry.
Bowen Yang
I think that was poetry. That's going to have a lot of people thinking, what are.
Aaron Jackson
What are examples of things that you like?
Josh Sharp
Things that I like are like things that I. That I like.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
And the. The things I don't like.
Matt Rogers
Ooh, girl, you better not be doing those.
Josh Sharp
Don't do them because those are the things I don't like.
Aaron Jackson
And you won't like that.
Josh Sharp
And I will not like that.
Bowen Yang
You know what?
Josh Sharp
I like when you do things I like.
Bowen Yang
You know what's good about all of us? We all know the things that each other likes that we just don't. And we don't push it.
Matt Rogers
Of course not.
Bowen Yang
Like I told you when you guys were vibing out to Bjork at all, I just. I sat and enjoyed.
Matt Rogers
Enjoyed our joy.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. And I started to feel a little sick at that moment.
Matt Rogers
Because of the drugs? Not because of our joy.
Bowen Yang
No, that was because of other things. Remember? Oh, that was when I got whole fever.
Josh Sharp
She already.
Aaron Jackson
That was whole fever.
Matt Rogers
That was a great. That Was great.
Bowen Yang
That was a whole other era.
Josh Sharp
Whole, Whole other era. Gabe.
Bowen Yang
All right, Aaron, do you have an.
Josh Sharp
I don't think so, honey.
Matt Rogers
I have one. It came to me.
Bowen Yang
All right. This is Aaron Jackson's I don't think Sony's time, honey.
Josh Sharp
God, girl, don't forget.
Bowen Yang
Good God, girl.
Matt Rogers
I'm ready.
Bowen Yang
This is Aaron Jackson's I don't think so Honey's time starts now.
Matt Rogers
I don't think so, honey. Why has no one started a business that's like a ride share? Like, it's like a limo that you ride in with your friends, except it's in a hearse and it's really spooky? I don't think so. I think there'd be a coffin in there and it could pop up and scare you. And there's dry ice.
Josh Sharp
Andrew Durant.
Matt Rogers
Andrew Durant could get. If the show ever closes, which it won't, he could be the dead outlaw and 30 seconds. And the driver could be kind of Dracula. Would you like to roll the window?
Josh Sharp
It could be.
Matt Rogers
And there's dry ice and you're drinking spooky cocktails and there's all sorts of spider webs everywhere. And I just think that this is a business opportunity that could go year round, but certainly around Halloween or the fall, it could take you to a haunted house.
Josh Sharp
It's pretty. All year round.
Matt Rogers
All year round.
Bowen Yang
Five seconds.
Matt Rogers
And I just think it's a really strong idea and I need somebody to do it. I don't think so, Honey.
Bowen Yang
Honey, Honey.
Josh Sharp
Say honey. Say honey.
Matt Rogers
Honey.
Bowen Yang
I'm sure this exists.
Matt Rogers
You think you're sure?
Bowen Yang
I think it's like you're looking for essentially, like a mobile haunted experience.
Matt Rogers
I want a haunted limo, but I think in a hearse.
Josh Sharp
I think it's bigger than that, which.
Aaron Jackson
Are two different cars.
Josh Sharp
And sometimes it's Lauren from Lauren Ambrose.
Bowen Yang
If you take away some of your specifics, I think you'd be really excited to find out that this is a thing.
Matt Rogers
I don't want to take away my specifics. This is what I want.
Josh Sharp
Specifics are what make us us and make us unique.
Aaron Jackson
Yes.
Bowen Yang
Especially during.
Aaron Jackson
Quite a long time.
Josh Sharp
Especially during Pride.
Bowen Yang
I shouldn't have said that.
Josh Sharp
Especially right now during Pride Month, when the powers that be are trying to take away all of our specifics.
Bowen Yang
No.
Matt Rogers
You think it could be a long hearse?
Josh Sharp
Oh, absolutely.
Aaron Jackson
I love cocktails and cobwebs. Now, I was saying in the middle of that escape car as an escape room, but.
Bowen Yang
Car. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Oh. And that's just not just Jumping out.
Aaron Jackson
Of that's just jumping out of the car. But I think there should be an escape room that is themed to you're kidnapped in the trouble business.
Matt Rogers
But that. That's different than what I want.
Aaron Jackson
I know it's very different, but it's.
Josh Sharp
A potential revenue stream.
Bowen Yang
Sure.
Josh Sharp
Just the idea is so good.
Matt Rogers
I'm not a businessman. I'm an artist, so I don't have the capabilities to make this.
Aaron Jackson
If this bought you a dog walker, you would.
Matt Rogers
And a beautiful place to board the animal when I travel to Paris or other people.
Josh Sharp
And you want to walk your slave like Pluto. That's what you were saying.
Matt Rogers
Pluto is a slave to Goofy.
Josh Sharp
Because you want a dog walker. Slave, slave. Because they'd be the same species as you, and yet they have to walk your dogs.
Matt Rogers
No, because they get paid.
Josh Sharp
Okay.
Matt Rogers
I don't know who's getting paid.
Bowen Yang
We don't know if it's enough.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
Do you think the.
Matt Rogers
Which I wanted to get rich.
Bowen Yang
It makes sense.
Josh Sharp
I hope the person walking Sabrina got paid.
Bowen Yang
I think so.
Aaron Jackson
I think so.
Bowen Yang
I think probably that was.
Josh Sharp
Dog walker should be paid.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Aaron Jackson
Also, dogs. Dogs are very empowered. Dogs are very.
Josh Sharp
The most empowered creatures.
Matt Rogers
Were they like to obey.
Josh Sharp
They like to. Sub is Dom.
Aaron Jackson
Sub is Dom. Maggie, the dog that we met today.
Matt Rogers
Darling dog.
Bowen Yang
Can we just send Maggie in for that? For the last part of the episode? Really nice, I think.
Josh Sharp
And I think let's get Maggie to sign a release.
Bowen Yang
This won't make the dog nervous at all.
Josh Sharp
Let's stick Maggie's paw in ink and put it on a release. And then let's get Maggie in here.
Bowen Yang
While they're getting Maggie in here, does anyone have anything final they want to say?
Josh Sharp
Yes. I would love for you to come see Maggie. Come on, Maggie.
Bowen Yang
Come on, Maggie.
Josh Sharp
Magg.
Bowen Yang
Maggie, Come say hi.
Aaron Jackson
You're really cute.
Bowen Yang
Oh, my God.
Megan Thee Stallion
So sweet.
Matt Rogers
This is a beautiful beast.
Bowen Yang
She's so sweet. Oh, my God. Now, are any of the cameras getting this?
Aaron Jackson
She's presenting.
Bowen Yang
She's presenting. Come, Maggie.
Aaron Jackson
Maggie. Come over here.
Josh Sharp
Maggie.
Bowen Yang
Come over here.
Josh Sharp
She's Maggie.
Bowen Yang
Come on, little man.
Aaron Jackson
Oh, you're too good. Oh, yeah.
Bowen Yang
Stretch out when you lay down.
Aaron Jackson
Stretch.
Josh Sharp
And that's where downward dog comes from. Just so you know.
Aaron Jackson
We woke her up.
Matt Rogers
Well, they all sleep 17 hours a day.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Josh Sharp
And they love to be woken up.
Bowen Yang
Maggie turned five. She's 35.
Matt Rogers
35.
Josh Sharp
Oh, my God.
Matt Rogers
That's your age, right?
Bowen Yang
Samesies, girl.
Josh Sharp
So you want AC at Twinks versus Dolls, too, don't you?
Bowen Yang
You know, I think too. I wonder how Maggie would respond for us singing one of our songs from for the tour. That would be good to end the episode.
Josh Sharp
Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Maggie, should we do mezzo piano for once?
Josh Sharp
Yeah, mezzo piano.
Bowen Yang
Maggie, this one is gonna go out to you, girl. And basically we want you to know you're perfect just the way way you are. Which doesn't necessarily have to be a good transition.
Josh Sharp
Understood.
Bowen Yang
Just the way you are.
Aaron Jackson
Yeah. Bruno Mars.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, but what is it?

Aaron Jackson opens the conversation by emphasizing the importance of personal standards:
[00:56] "Matt, I know you agree with me, but I've always felt that it's important to set standards for yourself."
Bowen Yang echoes this sentiment, highlighting the need for high standards in various aspects of life:
[01:12] "I think I have a standard of living and a standard of loving."
This discussion segues into a playful "bit" about the hosts' attire, showcasing their signature humor and camaraderie.
A significant portion of the episode centers around Joella from Drag Race. The hosts and guests analyze her impact on drag culture and speculate on her potential return to the competition:
[09:19] "Joella was a Drag Race contestant on season I'm not 1749."
Bowen Yang passionately discusses the cultural significance of Joella:
[10:00] "They're giving and giving and gaping. The guy Venmo, Joella."
The conversation highlights how Joella's presence has become a staple in drag discussions, reflecting broader trends in LGBTQ+ representation.
Transitioning to reality TV, the group delves into Survivor, particularly praising Sam Pinkleton and discussing the dynamics of Australian versus American Survivor franchises:
[32:24] "Australian Survivor is now the superior franchise."
Aaron Jackson shares insights on casting and the show's evolution:
[32:34] "There are eight Australian Survivor players and then eight internationals."
The hosts critique the show's structure and casting choices, offering a fresh perspective on a long-running reality series.
A lively debate unfolds about the intersection of music genres and LGBTQ+ communities. Josh Sharp advocates for the inclusion of hardcore music in gay spaces:
[14:52] "Radically accepting. Yeah, I just didn't hear you correct."
Matt Rogers counters by highlighting the emotional depth of pop music:
[15:35] "Pop doesn't have a lot of rage, age."
The discussion underscores the diverse musical tastes within the LGBTQ+ community and the importance of representation across genres.
The highlight of the episode is the appearance of Megan Thee Stallion, who engages in the recurring "I Don't Think So, Honey" segment. Megan delivers sharp, humorous critiques of current pop culture phenomena:
[22:37] "I don't think so, honey. With height restrictions on roller coasters, it's high discrimination and frankly, absurd."
Her participation adds star power to the episode, blending seamlessly with the hosts' comedic style while addressing serious cultural topics.
Notable Quote:
[22:40] Megan Thee Stallion: "I don't think so, honey. With superheroes, nobody can really pull off a cape. Like the trend is over and was never cute."
The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as hosts and guests reminisce about high school experiences, prom memories, and the evolution of their friendships:
[112:30] "I went to prom with Kincaid Suffolk Zone award."
Bowen Yang reflects on how these formative years shaped their cultural perspectives:
[36:40] "It was like we really went away from the challenge."

Towards the end of the episode, the hosts brainstorm ideas for a concert series titled "For the Tour," envisioning performances across multiple cities with drag queens as opening acts:
[46:50] "Imagine if we added another five. That's a concert."
Aaron Jackson elaborates on the logistical aspects, emphasizing community and collaboration:
[46:55] "What we promise you is we will try to sing together as four as much as we possibly can."
This segment highlights the group's ambition to merge live performances with cultural celebration, fostering a sense of unity and festivity.
The episode wraps up with light-hearted banter, discussions about personal relationships, and playful jabs at each other's quirks. The hosts invite listeners to engage with their content and tease future episodes filled with more cultural insights and humorous anecdotes.
