"Publicly Sick and Writing Brave Stories" (w/ Matt & Bowen)

On this week’s Las Cultch, the artists formerly known as Bobo and Mimi (Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers) catch up on the culture. They discuss Anatomy of Lies and the legendary lies of Finchie, the SWEAT, Hit Me Hard and Soft and Eras TOURS, Wicked (which our hosts have now seen!), Andrew Garfield on Chicken Shop Date, and unacceptable Chromatica erasure. Also, Matt and Bow indulge in Eva Longoria appreciation, unpack their recent episode with Mariah Carey and make a case for Gracie Abrams as world’s most beautiful woman. All this, “Disease” and what some are for some reason calling Gaga’s “return to pop”, Stevie Nicks BTS from SNL, and unfortch… the electch. Get out and VOTE. Does the moon represent your heart? Are yall dressed up as Paul Mescal for Halloween? Have you been able to sleep? Lots to think about this week… on LAS CULTCH. See you next week… ARI!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Family is back on the pod after 7 and a half years! It’s Rachel Bloom! And she’s got notes on her last Las Cultch episode. Matt and Bow catch up with the star of Netflix’s Death, Let Me Do My Special, which is out now! Also, Rachel’s daughter’s Drag Race werkroom entrance is debuted, Bowen demands a female Siri, and the takeover of the word “gaslight” is discussed. All this, how all children’s TV shows are a hallucination, entertainment journalism then vs now, “PacSun Santa”, anxiety on nomination morning, “journal about it” as advice, squirting, postpartum anxiety, what happens when death becomes real, rowdy teens in children’s parks and Whitney and Barbra finally get their Iconic 400 flowers. Forgetting that was not right, and also not okay! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a moment. Mariah Carey? She's on Las Cultch, darling. Matt & Bowen adorn themselves with festive garb to welcome Queen of Christmas, adverb legend and all around music GOAT to the pod. M & B ask MC when to expect the follow up to Caution (and get an answer!), Mariah's "sensory" songwriting process and BTS of the creation of classic songs like "Hero". The three go on to discuss the iconic "Heartbreaker" music video villain BIANCA and her origins, how the Grammys trifle with Mariah and it's unacceptable, the formative Butterfly album's impact, how The Emancipation of Mimi put Mariah back on top, performing on SNL way back in 1990, memories from Mariah's iconic Tokyo Dome show, setting the convention of hip hop features on pop tracks, and the emotional rollercoaster that was writing and recording her terrific memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey. Also, the inspiration of Michael Jackson, Prince and Marilyn Monroe, the difficulty growing up biracial on Long Island, potentially rebooting Divas Live, beating Tina Fey at Mean Girls trivia, and casting the role of Mariah in Lee Daniels's adaptation of her memoir. Mariah reveals her top 3 favorite Disney rides, talks vocal stacking alongside the incredible Brandy, and ponders dropping her grunge album already! All this, Hoda and Jenna's emotional morning on Today, "Boxing Day" and Mariah's already iconic I Don't Think So, Honey on overhead lighting! Check out Mariah's newest collab with Amazon Music: it's a holiday decor line available October 31st at Amazon.com/MariahCarey! AND THEN A HERO *CAME* ALONG! We love you, Mariah.

Matt & Bowen felt like hanging out with cooler, smarter, funnier and better people than them, so welcome Peyton Dix and Hunter Harris, the hosts of the Lemme Say This podcast! All four legendary icons discuss salad culture, how fall can be slutty, “standing on business”, Tree Paine, how P!nk got her name, Imogen Heap as a white creative, Boston and “roaming about the cabin”. Also, a Daniel Radcliffe check-in, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, coats, pockets and the difference between red and burnt orange (which may shock you). All this, an exhaustive Bennifer update, “Coke Zero Oreo” and the discourse on college. Let us say this… listen to Lemme Say This, a podcast by Wondery!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
