Ding dong less Cultures us calling Well. I guess you could say the Eminem's are backs are bad. I guess you could say that not only did I bring the Eminem's on this episode, but you brought a new favorite of my mine. Can I plug? The snacks are really happening today. We've got pretzel crisps Buffalo wing flavor Deli style. I told you, matt it, I put this in my mouth and I was like, there was a piece of gorgeously fried chicken in my name. Yeah, and you know who exposed me to this already? Our guest is, which, of course, is the original song. It was more of a ballad um Katrina Rogers, who is my mother? Who I'm gonna radically say this radical She should be on the pod. I think Katrina should be on the pod. I would love that. I think that would be an amazing episode. But yeah, okay, but what I'm saying stupid first symmetry, Like I would love that. That means we would have we would we should bring my mom on. And I don't know if that's Why don't we bring someone else in your family on? We can bring my sister on. Why doesn't Yang Yang come on? My sister would be great, would be so great? You think? I think so? And speaking of family, we have a new member of the family in the room, not our guests, but we have hot engineer well high Well he just moved from Seattle. It's he's fresh off the boat and fresh in our hearts. And well, I'll ask you one question, what's the best eminem? Okay, that's wrong, that's unfortunately wrong. Christy eminem is good and Pretzels close enough. Now, Will is a certified expert in all things audio. He just walked me and Matt through with a delicious, sumptuous tapestry of words. He told us about a sonorous proximity effect when he was telling us to please speak more directly into the microphone. And I just want to say, that was a note for Bow and I never need a note in terms of how to speak into a mic. That was a note for me. But but I mean, do you not do you regret having those words spoken to you? No, no, no, I don't regret it. I felt something and then you know. And then he later on he would he very very Genteelly talked us through the axis of the microphone. These were guys. Now, I know I can tell everyone we're recording on the R twenty, which is um designed for people who can, you know, push a lot of breath like voice actors. I'm anxious now, okay that people now know the secrets of the podcast. I mean, and they wiled themselves by an r E twenty and all of a sudden you'll be hearing ding dong and all of a sudden is going to be Lost Culturistas Too. Well. I challenge someone out there to start a new podcast called Lost Cultureista's Too, and I will sue. I will have my lawyers on it. What a fun little social experiment. Speaking of my lawyers, I want to bring my lawyers in right now and sue our guests for making me laugh so hard and also for laughing over our whole intro, because you, how dare you you? I would bring a lawsuit to you. Who is she? She? She has one of those laughs that's so contagious, and whenever she laughs, I laugh, you know, And whenever she laughs, I break out into a rash. She is a veteran. This is the credits, by the way, let's go through the credit. She's a veteran of Comedy Central Roast Battle. She is one of the She's under the co host of Battle of the Gebas with former Queen of the Pod Matteo Lane at Union Hall and you can see they have a show at New York Comedy Festival. Yes, and of course she has her upcoming solo show at Ours Nova on November four. It's Christie bitch, starring the person sitting to my lapt Matt Roger. I do. I do feature into the show in a role that I was born to play, and in fact, perhaps I've already played in my life. And of course she was a new face at JFF all this year, um star on the rise and I need to Okay, well let's introduce her. It's you, guys. Thank you so much. I'm sorry I've been such a bag of giggles. Why are you giggling? Almost? Tell us why? Because I've wanted to do this podcast my whole entire life. You know, I'm a fan. You know I've been to both your live shows in New York City and to see it happening in the students is a real honestly a real tree to watch you guys. Do that we ask you? We asked you a question at this point, We asked you a question at this point. Is this what you pictured? Honestly? You know what strikes me the most is that physically we are so close to I feel very close to you guys, And you know what, this is everything I thought it would be in more. I mean, I'm having the best time of my left and don't there's no need to point out how close we are. We are doing this one to create this kinship in the spond and too for that sonorous we should say we're in a room that is acres large. We we don't have to be sitting within a cubic foot of one another, but we just are because that is the love. And also, you know, hot engineer Will is also in the same cubic foot as us, so close to us, and the lasting as baby Green, Baby Green. You you thought they were something you could order as a side at you know that restaurant, but in fact they're in Will's eyes, in Will's eyes. Now, Christie, I didn't know where you going with that. I got it at the end. It's called being that you don't know where you're going, but you get there where all that is you don't know? I mean what nothing my brain destroyed circuiting you. Guys. All I know is you started this by attacking my mother. I did not attack your mom. You attacked I said my mother should be a podcast guest, and you said, well no, I said, but I did only to counter that with well, what I was just I'm sorry, and I was just placing my own mother in that place, and I was like, would that be that would be uncomfortable for everybody? And so I was just like, maybe that disqualifies Katrina. I don't think it does. I don't think it does. I think Katrina stands on her own. I think Katrina is more than a mother. And I think that you you said that she is merely a mother. I didn't I say more than you say merely rule number fifty two. Culture a mother is not merely a mother. She didn't say it with me, said that that didn't That didn't register it lands it either way. Christie, Hi, you guys wait, speaking of maternal figures, I truly it just hit me. And Christie, this is why I I feel like I connect with you is because you have such a um. You're such a joy that and you laugh at the same moments that my grandmother would laugh. And you remind me of just just just by sense of fumer alone, no, I mean and like Christie laughs at the moments that my grandmother would laugh, like especially during like silences or pauses, Christie, someone you can always count on Christie to fill in the silence to gorgeous laugh so much think your grandmother sounds like an amazing one, an amazing woman. You're a laugher, Huh. I'm an easy laugh and I pride myself on being easy laugh. You want on the way we're rapidly ascending towards our death, you gotta laugh. You want to ask you what do you what do you think will kill us? That's a great question. What's too much laughter on this podcast? I don't think that's it, Christie. I don't think that's it. Now. You think you think I was justsking for a joke, for a laugh, for a for a thrill. I want to know what's going to kill us? Yeah? Oh god, I'm really thinking hard about this. What's going to happen? God? Who knows? I think it's I think I know. We were just talking about this true story. Christie and I ran into each other very very very randomly at this like little Deli grocery store around the corner. It wasn't like that random because you're both going to be here but an hour beforehand. We're both early, and he sat and we both had We both arrived at the same conclusion that um social media is in shambles right now, just the whole concept of it. We're really questioning right now as a society, what the uses and because it's cost so much damage. But so we hate Facebook, you and you and me at least, I mean, are we getting real right now? Let's geta come on, we've been so fake this whole time. Make this funk this entire time. I mean we can, we can bounce back and forth talk. No, come on, everyone's going to see the real me now, Okay, okay, so let's let's put a pin in this. Social media is bad. We just need to talk about Christie's voice. Honestly, my little sister sounds a lot like me. And it's really funny because she's I say she's little, like she's really little. She's not. She's like twenty eight, and yeah, it's so weird. I did get my tonsils out there as an adult, okay, a couple of years ago, and I remember being like, oh my god, is this gonna make me sound even weirder or maybe like would normalize my voice? And I didn't really know change at all. I felt a change. I felt so much space in my throat. I want to get my tonsils. That's so badly because they always get so I got tonslitis all the time, and with mine were like golf balls that would like touch each other. So so it's it's weird. It's like I didn't even know that the mouth is supposed to feel so open. Yeah, it's really deep. Do you feel empty now that there's a part of you out there in the world that you can't touch anymore? Honestly know? Because I feel like this is the real me? Those tonsils held me back. Oh my god, So I really encourage I think you should do. It was like an exorcism. Yeah, I mean I should do. It's rule number culture a part of your body and if it is, jap chap, get rid of it like a weird clastic surgery allegory that I love it. And you know what this this leads into rule number four of culture, which is a ton selected to me, is like an ex cercism. You're not saying them, but I didn't know where the funk you were going. Something that something in this system isn't is flawed now, Yeah, you bitch, it's you da flow. Okay, it's you da flow. Can I ask um? Can I ask Christie your question? Yeah? Is it going to be as deep as the last one? I mean I'm prepared for it. It's actually going to be the question that we ask every guest, but we never got to what we think will kill us? All, yeah, okay, let's let's let's let's answer that if we're okay. So the way the place I was going to with that was social media, like just the fact that, um, it's so easy to organize around any stupid idea, is what will you know? What I think is gonna kill us? And and I think social media is gonna keep keep keep moving forward, and then it's going to just become robots. And the robots are going to come and they're gonna We're going to be replaced by robots. You guys should read this amazing article um on a on a website called Wait but Why talks all about AI and how we are currently We're going to be on a balance beam with AI. Either we fall on one side, which is like we we all live forever like robots will we will be the robots, we will live in the robots, we will be immortal within the robots, or the other side of that balance beam is they they kill us. Any one know. It's weird, though, I like not scared of death. Um, that's like, it doesn't really scare me. Um, I've never been scared by it. Not that I like want to die because I'll go to heaven and make yes all my old dogs, all your old dogs. Oh god, how many old dogs? One one that I love, the other one I didn't love because it's always tried to bite me. No, then, why do you think it's in heaven? Because I think all dogs go to heaven, bitch, Real number thirty seven culture that I can get down with that. Okay, so it's Christie's answer. Matt. Then is social media and not in tengentially robots? Okay, I have a what do you think? I think something crazy I left field, like an asteroid. Really yeah, I think we're going to deep impact this ship. Space is so crazy that that's amazing, Christie. But space is honestly so amzing that that's amazing. That's actually real number culture. Space is so amazing. I think you're both right. I think there is some ran extinction event that is um inevitable, and you know who's going to tell us about it, Anderson Cooper. Wait, do you not like Anderson Cooper? That? No, I don't. I don't love Anderson anymore because I feel that he threw Kathy Griffin under them. That's true. I think he kind of did as well. And I think there that he's definitely certainly in a position where he didn't have to do that, and I think he did. And I think it's really unfortunate, and I think it's if you should always have your friends back. He should. If he came out with an apology, would you forgive him? Uh? Yeah, I think people make mistakes. I think he's under a lot of pressure. I also don't think he cares. And I think I don't even know how close they actually were. It certainly seemed like they were friends. Um. I have this image in my mind because I think they create this of like fucking Kelly Ripper, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen and Kathy Griffin and all the cool like gay and Gay and Jason celebrities who are are your wealthy all hanging out on a boat. Um, But like, I don't know that that's true Andy Cohen and Saratisca Parker. Yeah, I mean I know that they're also friends, So I would I would, Um, I would stand up. I would stand up for you guys, or I would have support you guys, literally no question. In my mind. I'm half joking too, I'm saying, like, there's no need to say this, but I would support you. But if I was, if I was holding Trump's bloody head, can imagine if you said, for the record, I think what Matt's done is disgusting, when yeah, deplorable, all right, I forgot honestly, don't call me on the word, but you can look it up what he said, like for the record, I think what Kathy Griffin did was and then he described it in some like you know, media ready way to say it was disowning her as if she didn't like deal with enough. And then I read an article where she was quoted as saying that he never even person only reached out to her until months and months later. That's I thought, because I thought at the time, oh, he must be saying this because he has to say this. He's definitely reached out to her and said, hey, I'm going to have to public condemn you, but you know I have your back, which I think would have made a big difference. But he didn't do that. But like I mean, I think it's important though to know if they were really good friends in real life or if they were, I mean we like, how close were they in real life? I don't know. I mean, I know he was a big champion of her getting and keeping that job of the of the ball dropping, you know, and I think that they always just I don't know. Yeah, either way, it's it's a little it's a little fish. It's hard. I'm sure. I'm sure Anderson was caught between a rock and a hard place and really had to, like, you know, for his job. Who knows what they were hanging over his ag. Yeah. But here's the thing, Christie, he's a Vanderbilt and he's gonna be fine, you know what I mean, Like it could be fine. You know, Kathy Griffin wasn't making a break in Anderson Cooper and also and the Trump voters would have like already hate him for being gay. Yeah, it's like he wasn't losing anybody. But unfortunately I think he did. Oh this one, I mean I loved Anderson. I was going to get a dog and name of Anderson Cooper. Really. I was, not only because not only because it's hilarious, but also because I liked Anderson Cooper. I really liked him to he um, Sam Tagger and I went dancing one night at Eastern Block now Club coming Um but uh yeah, one night he and Andy Cohen came h and Sam. This was like Sam's first month in New York, which is so funny, but he was like freaking out, was so star struck, and we were like and Mike Expence was there and me and Mike were like my straight roommate, make Expense and we were both like like Sam like calmed down, like be cool. He was like, I'm gonna go over there and say hi to him, and we were like, no, don't do that. Um. Although I at one point, like later on and then I got super drunk and on my way to the bathroom, like Andy Cohen was just like being like a little I mean, and he's this is his right to be this way, but he was being a little little seezy. I live for hearing the dirt on celebs, like behind them, not even dirt, like you know, he's allowed to do this, he's a single or even if he's not, like he's allowed to do this, but I just but then I decided to try my luck and I didn't go out to him anything, but like I like put my hand on his arm as I was walking to the bathroom in the opposite direction and just like sort of like stroke to the like stroke, a casual stroke, a walk by stroke. It was a walk by stroke. I did I did this, christ I did this, and then like I just got wet and they went excuse me, what the was? No, no, no, and like at this like who knows, who knows how like three sheets to them when he was but then like we like clasped hands as I walked away. Obviously he was into that walk by swoop. Well he didn't. He didn't see me, Like like if he had turned around and seen my face, he he'd have been like, no fats, no fams novation. But it was we don't know that he's like that. I know I'm but I'm saying like and making the white gay community. Um, I actually think Andy Cohen is very hot, very handsome. Yeah, and he seems like a really nice guy. Seems like a really really nice uson guy. I don't even mean to be like, I actually think like help subversive of you now? Um uh no. Everyone everyone who's like worked at Bravo, like Nicole Conlin, former guest of the show, was an intern they're like back in college, like oh nine, and like I had nothing but good things to say that about. He just seems like a nice guy. I think he's great. I think he's so great. I just I'm disappointed that Anderson didn't have Kathy Griffin's back because I just couldn't find a place where I couldn't find a place where I would put myself in that position and not have my friends back, like especially like you know who Kathy Griffin is, Like I guess great, that's a good reason to not like him anymore. Yeah, totally, yes, it is. It is it as Christie, We're gonna ask you what we ask all of our guests finally, which is Christie, what is the culture that made you say culture is for me? Now this this means um, movies, books, TV, the small screen, un religion, maybe like whatever you want. You just repeat the question one more time and I'm going to close my eyes. What is and I'm not feel free to chime in and like rephrase the question. What is the culture that made you say culture is for you? What is the culture that made you want to step in a cultural direction? Imagine you are the baby dinosaur and Jurassic Park coming out of the EDG. Not the Mama, because she's far too jaded. You know, she's already made her cultural decisions. Actually, I have an answer, um and I feel like it's it's it's might have been an answer that has been given on the podcast already, but my reason is my own. Um So, uh, boy bands, yes, And it started for me with new Kids on the Block, older sibling and that I got. I went on the local news channel in my hometown and I wrote Joey McIntyre a love letter and I got to read it to him. It was on the news and then he gave me a hug. After I met all of them, I went to their concerts, and then growing up, I was just huge into the boy bands, mainly in Sync. Oh that was like you were a whole generation ahead of a lot of because I feel like I missed that window. So I was into new Kids on the fucking block. So you're you got it on the ground fucking floor with boy bands exactly. And when Backsheet Boys came and when in Sync came in ninety degrees in LFO and Otown and five and like all of them, I mean I compared them. I know their names, I know their facts, I know their origins like that for me, something about to grow really your type. Yes, it was like the musical the guy who did musical theater who was quote unquote like the straight guy with like necklace but was like cool, but it was still it was ultimately still straight. Ultimately still straight, right, Yeah, that was that was my time. There was that guy in my high school who like we we had to pull him in from lacrosse, but he was such a good singer, so so so attractive and was you know, still is straight. But it was just like a dang, like yeah, they've got that one. But no, that is a great answer because that just covers the whole swath of you know what. It's like, it's the showman ship because these boys could sing and they would like their choreography. Like also it was like a sexual awakening, like the first feelings I had of like being horny was shirtless men like gy rating and and and the words they were saying and it was Those were formative years for me. I'm telling you, do you remember justin Timberlake in the Terror at My Heart video in the white wife beater, like on his knees on top of that bed and dark black and white. It was. But the thing about it is, what was he seventeen sixteen? He was fully I mean he was in a on a bed, in a wife beater, like the implicably masculinized. Yeah, the implication was you're gonna fuck this boy. Everyone watching it was like Brittany like did not have that awkward phase, like she was a sexual being as soon as you saw they were. People think that like Christina Aguilera's like sexual moment was was dirty, but no, she was sinking you gotta rub me the right way, laying on her belly, flipping her little, you know, for about lack of a better word, vagina flipping her little. But yeah, there is to and fro. I have a question for you to and fro number three hundred something something culture. You gotta gotta flip that post post to and fro. In fact, I might be a new hip song. You gotta flip that. You gotta flip it. To fro, you gotta flip that, you gotta flip it. This is to the tune of no very clearly it's hip hip and you don't stop love that. I was the illusion shattered for you though, when like when you learned about like how awful of a person Loop Perlman was, No, oh you want to know why I'm the worst when it comes to that. Michael Jackson is I utilize Yeah. I mean, although I remember watching his trial on TV and just turning the other cheek. I was like, oh he sleeps little boys. I still love remember the time music video. That's so interesting. I mean, I'm you know, I'm not proud of this, but I'm gonna admit it because it's my true I do that not as much anymore. You know what the breaking point was for me Chris Brown. At first, when the Chris Brown Rihanna thing happened, I would like close my eyes and printed. And he was usher because I liked his music. Everyone It's like because that was sort of that for him. He was the guy for me who made me look at real life and be like, you know, well, well I can't support you know. It's like, um, so like like you know, well, now with like Woody Allen or whatever. I don't like their films, but but you know what, learning about Luke Prolman didn't it shock me as much as because like, you know what these were little boys is not dead who were being clearly they were sexualized and blah blah blah, like you knew it was a little fun if anything, that explains how truly, so it didn't feel like as big of a shock to me totally. Speaking of Chris Brown, I just want to say, um, I'm so have you seen this documentary that's on Netflix about him? But I'm really into it might be good anyway, I just I just want to put that on. Everyone is focused on him. I think so I might be miss speaking, but I just know that I'll watch it. And also, I mean, I don't want to get this is like my biggest fear is that with this podcast, I'm gonna want to talk about too many things. But did you watch the Demi? I know that watching talk about it? We have not. We have not talked about it. We should absolutely talk about you did watch it? Oh? And I have? I mean, I loved it. I fucking loved it. And I see her on a whole new night Light and I've been a fan from day one and I'm more so fan now. Great. I loved Demi and I did love the documentary. Of course there was it was very funny to me, like that every fifteen minutes. There was like a photo shoot that those are fun. I mean, she looked absolutely incredible. But the thing is like you hate doing this, you hate comparing it to something else. But so, um. What I liked about the Demi Lavata documentary as I thought it revealed real truths about like the dishonesty that comes along with addiction, you know what I mean. That was something that I feel like, like you just assumed dem Levado had all these problems got better when she sang the song Skyscraper and then it was no looking back. Meanwhile, there was like, you know confirmed um in the documentary. Was that like even when she was releasing another documentary like four years ago about how she was like rehabilitated, she was doing coke and like how funked up super fucked up um post, you know, rehabilitated image like singing that American idol, like like she saying she's clean at this time and she's revealing that she lied, but she's still and I thought this was refreshing. She's still dealing with bulimia. She said, she's still dealing with and she said that's not that chapter. I mean, like I don't think any of these books or chapters are closed. They never are. They never are. And that's a that's a real a stick sort of presentationally, like you know, I feel I always understand, especially with the Disney the Disney girls or the Nickelodeon girls, like they're they come into the spotlight a role model, and that's a lot of pressure for these girls. And I really seeing demi story, you know, she started doing Barney and then shot to fame doing the Disney stuff. But but to see her story and to have her be so honest with it, now I understand why her fans are so right or die because she's real. I feel like she's very authentic and an amazing vocalist. I thought it was good study, and I watched it together and just in the even in the very just in the very beginning, I just and I'm not saying this like I'm like, I like, I'm very astute to observe this, but I feel like the artifice of the of the documentary, of it being like overly produced, like was just I don't know, I don't know how to feel about it. I either admire it so much for being so like blatantly like, oh this is like this was a fed line, or like even in the beginning where she was like, I'm nervous to talk to you because the last time I talked to someone this long on camera, I was on cocaine. Like it was just it was just like, okay, like you you're just repeating this that that that's that's that's how I felt. That's giving me a luck. Like, well, I mean sure, but you could literally say that about us, you know what, you know what I like at a certain point, you just have to like if we're gonna sit down and watch this, either accepted for the message that it's giving, which is I think a pretty honest message about you know what it's about like her, her many many issues, or kind of say, okay, well just remember this is still a product. This is still a product. This is still a product. I'm still being sold something. But you could literally do that to yourself for a long time, where I think you need to find a balance. That's I think sometimes why it's dangerous to watch things with Sudi because she is always going to see right through too. But but it's great though, and like you know, it is totally great, and I'm so thankful for that. I yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I know, I mean I just watched this and I picked up on it at certain parts that Sudi didn't even and I was just like, oh yeah, like it's fine, like we get that this is a documentary that certain moments have to be like staged in a way to feel powerful, but also like just like go there anyway. And that's why that's why I like the photo shoots, because it's blatantly like of course this was a set, like this was set up, and you know what, I would prefer the overproduction versus you know, a couple of scenes in Gagas where she's topless by the pool and the ship thank You, where it's like a little born I'm like, all right, because Demi's was transparently placed, whereas Gagas was like you cut back to her and her fucking tits are out just like the best the best part of Gaga, of the Gaga documented it was like it's so so produced, was where she's like sucking at um. She's at some studio and she's talking to the phone with Sonya, her friend who has cancered. What the doctor said, what you still have cancer? And so the cancer is is definitely back, is what you're saying about it so expository. No, I do want to say she did pass away and she was a lovely person and God cared about her very much. And I Love Girls was the song inspired by Sonya and seriously like and that's why I almost don't even like to compare. I know, yes, but of course you compare them because they're very similar, and like worth, You're the mine of the comedy out of these things. And yes, there were many parts of Gaga's documentary where it's like, it's almost more shitty to me because it's presenting itself as an unproduced and more raw, whereas I live for the fact that Demilovado basically blocked her eyebrows out to go boxing, honey. But this is the thing that was so funny, this is this supposed to this us to both documentaries, though, is that I like, you know, the parts that are authentically are so much more powerful powerful, Like when Gaga's giving notes at the her Super Bowl rehearsal where she's like, I have to be here, Like that was a real moment where she's like taking everyone to task and it was amazing. And for DEMI like several parts in Demi's documentary where she does that. But then you know, um, I just thought I loved the studio sessions where she was like and suiting and I just couldn't stop hoting this where she's just like talking back and forth with the producers and then at one point she just goes just completely like Anna Dine, like like straight toned, like I just want to make sure my vibrato is consistent, which is like not something you said, you say that all, but I mean it was. That was an amazing moment. I love. I love that they go over to like the recording of the computer and they say, look, look how cons like bitch, we know she can sing, like we understand. It was great I can do that would show up on there as conn't you know, well, what does it? What does the wave for him look like? Pretty? It's pretty consistent? Thank you? Yeah, no, you're yeah. I mean, but I love that moment, and you know what that you're right. I agree with you. I'm on the same page. I liked the Demi documentary better because by virtue of it being overproduced for moments such as those, Yeah, because it's like, what are you gonna do? Like lie, like at the end of the day, like you want eyes on this to sell things? Yeah, And I guess like I think there is more prestige in the fact that likely Gagas was released to Netflix, and I think maybe a little bit more artistically done which is on YouTube, and like absolutely like you know, at some point we definitely all subliminally thought, like you know what I want right now, Pepsi. You know, I really want pepsi right now. I really in the hanker in the mood. Oh my god. Wait, I don't know if this is the sort of relates to your your boybend obsession. What are your feelings on Josy and the pussy Cats the movie loved and speaking of slivonal message like you haven't seen that, you have to see it. I don't think. I think I've seen pieces because my sister was watching. I remember pieces of it. I've never seen the movie in its entirety. But I am watching Riverdale, okay, and they are there are characters in Riverdale, and I'm loving the puzzy yards in Riverdale. For that one tired one who's just also diet elady is there. One more thing is that she's tired. No, but did you eat her face? She looks so tired. She just looks very tired. I watched like the first six episodes of the first season, and honestly, like, I really loved it. I thought it was like stylistically it was great, but then something about it. I just didn't keep watching it. I think maybe because I felt like I got it. Well, I'm watching it for Luke Perry as a high Delph. I get that he's Looke. Harry's in it. Archer's dad. She's dad, and he's hot as fuck, and he's I just haven't seen him in so long that I did not registring through that. Also, what's Veronica's mother? Her name is Marison Nichols. She's also gorgeous Veronica. The acts who plays Veronica. I guess who her teacher and playwrights was, Andrew Farmer really yeah friend. I Google then saw that she went to yeah, our friend. That means, oh my god, a really good friend taught her, and she tweeted something because because hi, Andrew, and Andrew's doing this really cool like um or maybe he will have just finished this like cool like series on about subway scary stories. Um. And then she like tweeted, she was like, Hi, my one of my one of the best drama teachers I've ever had at and my U is doing this cool project. Check him out. So she's like an Andrew Farmers stand. She's she's really good. She's really good. Can I I've only seen the first two episodes, but I like, I liked get it. Yeah, you've seen it all. I really like it. But I had such a nostalgia when I was watching it for the o C for you know, all these shows that I would watch as a team, and like, I'm like, oh, I'm glad there's one for this new generation. But I want that but scaled up to my age. But I don't think that weird realization like watching it this time around, because I like, I loved those yeah, and it does make me feel nostalgic. The thing this time around it is tripping me out is that I'm really into the parents storyline, which I feel like isn't a sign that I'm getting older. I was always I'm like, oh, the Dad's Like. I was never into Sandy Cohen. I was into Julie Cooper. Julie Cooper. Julie Cooper. Early gay icon also what was Kirston Kirstenhens alcoholism was a huge, huge I loved the parents even as even as a young child. Wait, Kirston Cooper. Oh that's Kitty right. Who is the redhead Julie Julie Cooper, But that was Julie Coopers. That's mom, mom, mom had alcoholism. Later in remembering it was really remember I do love Sandy Colin that she gets in like a horrible car accident because she's drunk. I remember remember Tate Donovan another hot day. I love don voiced Hercules and I like, as a young child watching her cays, I was like, we ever voicing him Hercules saying distance? That was Roger bart Er Broadway Lodgend Roger bart every single quote unquote straight Yeah. I had sang that song for their distance. Can I tell you we want? They used to have an American Idol attraction at Disney World where you could sing. You'd go up and sing to every people. You could go up and be a contestant, and then had who won saying go the distance? And afterwards they like did this thing where they brought him to the back and they were having imposed and people had to like pretend to be fans, and I I pushed my sister so hard to go up there. I was like, I was like, oh, let's and I'm like pushed her up there, and she's like, what are you doing? And this like Hollywood director quote unquote in the parks that was like, alright, out extras, come on, we're doing this now. When he when he raises his arms to give muscles, you guys are gonna be fair. My sister was mortified. She does not do this kind of thing. But but it was like too late. It was like, a she doesn't do this kind of thing. Be She's also not the kind of person to like break authority. So the fact she was up there she was going to do it, Oh my god. And watching her like pretend to like fan herself like very fun for me. I competed in the Warwick Mall idol. Oh my god, what did you saying? Tell us it's brutal. I think I'm used a beaters on okaying all that jazz. It was a stupid And I auditioned for American Idols Season two with Clay Aging and Reuben Stard and did you get anywhere? I made it past one cud of judges. To go sing for other people. But I never saw I say for that, I say, Christina aguilar As I turned to you and started with when I'm most like my stupid voice, it was like, no one understands that that is the song number three hundred and something of culture, something something get specific with you. You know we're gonna culture, Christina Aguilera. The song is. Now We're going to take a quick break to listen to that song and its entirety, and when we get back, we're going to have so much more from Christie Chello. But I think now we should go to a word from ourselves about our upcoming show at New York Comedy Festival. So here's ourselves. Oh man, I think I sent a chill in the air. Yes, Well, if you thought that chill was the fall the autumn, I have to say it's not. It's a chill between you and I. That's because we are going head to head people at culch War. It's our show for New York Comedy Festival, and it's an I don't think so, honey deathmatch. Team Matt and Team Bowen are going to have their own teams of ten comedians basing off head to head in many rounds, Honey, for the title of the Ultimate Culturalista. Yes, there will be a hundred dollar cash prize. Now, what are some things you can do with a hundred dollars Bowen? Oh, I think you could pay for a Spirit Airlines ticket to Tacoma. I think that that's a pretty reasonable that I was gonna say, uh Bill, Oh yeah. I think someone whoever wins coulch War will be paying their Connent bill, and they'll also be bringing glory and victory to either Team Matt or Team Bowen. You will find out which team wins on November seven at eight pm. This is for New York Comedy Festival people, and tickets are on sale now. We're doing it at Villain in Brooklyn. We're very excited. November seven thirty. It's a Tuesday, New York Comedy Festival, Brooklyn. Villain is the space. And you know what, November seven is Election Day. And I would say that this election is more important than anything else that's happening in the country. Yes, I agree. Now, if you can't make November seven, if that's not something you can make work, then you can come to the beautiful, more positive, more cathartic uh the proven quantity of our I don't Think so Honey live show this time at the Bellhouse. We're so excited to be performing there. We're gonna have fifty brand new comedians doing there. I don't Think so honeyes as we record them, as we introduce their uh, stunningly, stunningly incisive attacks to the world. And it's gonna be so fun, so fun, got some amazing comics lined up for it. Will be announcing that very soon and podcast festival. Honey at the Bell was very excited about that. So again, that's November seven, Coach War and I Don't Think So Honey Death Match as part of New York Comedy Festival, and November eighteen, I Don't Think so Honey Live at ten o'clock at the Bell House as part of the Brooklyn Podcast Festival. So there you go, people to options and we'll find out who can really serve Coach. It's getting colder in here and we're back with Christie. Chill out we are. We just listened to I turned to you in its entirety, and you know what it holds up? Came Christie, came You're so Christie's brand is horny, Yeah, and that actually really rings true in your upcoming show. Thank you so much. It's Christie Bitch, which is going to be at Ours Nova on November four. I'm really excited and that you're a part of it. I'm thrilled to be a part of it. It's directed by um John Trowbridge. We want to say hello to him. Hi John, Hi John, how are you? And check out his instagram pages one for the Agent. You should check out his instagram. He bears a little again, there's a little into it. I really adored him another way. Another hottie in the show is Evan Williams. Oh my god, yeah, he plays I can say he plays um the role of my fantasy man. Yeah, and he's something to you. He's a phenomenal stand up very fun. I'm and I we also got close doing roasts. But he's an incredible actor and oh my god, it's like what he wants to do, and he can do impressions and he's incredibly versatile and um and yeah, he's he's he's an amazing actor. So there's gonna be a lot of reasons to come to this. Okay, tell us a little bit about it. Why did you want to do it like, talk a bit little about the show because I want people. I want butts and seeds. Oh you're the best. It's really fun. It's it's the debut of my one woman show. I've always wanted to do it. Um, and I really love stand up, which is what I normally do, but I wanted an opportunity to do a little bit more than just stand up, so sort of combined stand up and a little storytelling. There might be a little song and dance in there. Acting. Um, it's a whole. It really follows my life as a horny and holy girl. And we don't just mean holes as in the holes we all have. Um, your religious lady, M I just need I need to pull up something that Christie posted today on Facebook that really, like really affected me because it's just so funny and so true to her and who she is. Okay, and she even put the background on this, you know, those big backgrounds of the big letters. She goes, is it hard for me to be holy and horny? Id K, is it hard for the sun to shine? Sick of these tired ask questions of my own joke, it's so funny saying it's so funny to ask questions. I really I'm trying to talk more about how I'm Catholic, but do it in a way that is a little I try for it to be a little refreshing, very positive, and like not you know, when you when you bring up Jesus, there is you know, you alienate people and you can anchor people, and it's personal and it's a strange thing to bring about. But I'm trying to do it in this way where like, I'm a very horny girl. I love sex. I sin all the time in my Jesus fucking loves that. And I've the only all the times I've heard you talk about religion, um have always been so personal, so beautiful, so moving, so refreshing. So I don't I don't think you shouldn't fear. I had friends that were I wasn't at the show, but I had a lot of friends that were at. A friend of the show and competitor in culture War at least Moralice called so do We. So it's a show called the Roast of a fifteen year old Self, and there's an upcoming roast of the fear old stuff. I'm look looking up in one of my favorite shows I've I've done it as well? Have you done it? It's phenomenal. It was so fun and it's really really good. Um. But I had several people called to me and tell me how amazing yours was. Um, and also you did a really good Um you are heard. Remember the show You are Heard? Yeah, And so that was I had a lot of people come back to me and they were like, I was really moved by this because a lot of people you talk about being religious and they immediately shut down. Um, but you were able to speak about it in a way that made it very real and it was very genuine and like, I don't know what it is. I think we all kind of associated with our childhoods and maybe an oppression or like you assume someone else is oppressed, you never assume someone's empowered by that. I completely understand. I think it's important to you. Is like I understand the people who get angry at religion and don't like it and why people are atheists. Like I understand that, but you know, it really is like I according to most Catholics, I'm not a Catholic because I don't, you know, adhere to all the whatever is in the Bible. But I very much pick and choose what I do for myself. And I have my own religion, but like I very much have like a strong relationship with Jesus, Like it's very important to me. I love that. And we had Blair on a couple episodes ago, and she just talked about how she's starting to like turn to like God as this concept, not under an organized religion per se, but like yeah, just as like just as like a good force in her life. You've really talked, Blair and I have talked a lot of about and you came up and we were just like, have you and Christie talked about this? And and she was like, we have. But Blair is like not necessarily operating under this like you know, organized sort of structure around religion, but you are. And I feel like, like, what what do you like about like just having them I'll say institution but not in a bad way, the institution of Catholicism just to like organize your your your your faith behind Does that make sense? Like what do you like about having Catholicism be the system that's already in place? Well? I think Jesus like like that being the center of it. It's literally Jesus, but Also I do litera church every Sunday, and I see in the Choiret mat Urch and I like love for me. I think it's like my equivalent to like how people would practice yoga or meditation. Like I turn off my phone and I just think and I and I kind of meditate on my thoughts, and like, you know, there is like a stigma with religion, and I get why when you know priests were molesting boys and there's been you know, it can it's parts of it are corrupt and I get that, but like you know, I belong to a really amazing church. And like the pastor is so this guy, Pastor Kevin, and he's so funny, like he's watched my common online and like and he'll always like kind of roll his eyes and like Christie and I always make these jokes with him, like like literally one time I made a joke with Pastor Kevin, and he was like this Irish New York like older chubby guys, really great and I was like, I was, like I said to him, I will Jesus be mad or Jesus gonna be mad if I'm gay or I'm not gay? But I said, would Jesus be mad if I was gay, and then he said no, Christie, and I said, hell, yeah, this weekend is going to be lit and he was like Christidae and lapsed and rolls his eyes and it's like, you know this, like knowing we have a great relationship and you have to you know, it's a personal thing. But yeah, I love that to everyone. It's personal to everyone, and I love thinking about it at this place where you can go and have a joyous, contemplative, um singular experience. Thank you for talking to us about about that, because we know, we know it's personal. We know that you have the right to be selective about when to talk about this. Was there a reason why you founded or like a good question like I was. I was brought up Catholic and it gave me a lot of anxiety and it gave me some of my O c D habits that I have because I was so afraid of going to Hell and burning with the devil um. So that gave me a lot of Catholic guilt. And there are things I didn't like about it. But in the city I sort of rediscovered it. I had this crazy like experience where I had this cancer on my back in melanoma and I had to get this tumor. Uh they found it really late, and so I had I was set up to like start this radiation for this cancer that I had, and they got it all out in surgery, and all the doctors were very much like, oh my God, you have someone looking out for you. Like You're so lucky. Had I waited another couple of weeks, I would have had to get treatment. And it's like, I'm not this like survivor rightn beat cancer. But I got so lucky that I really believe that people are like looking out for me. I believe that all the time. I believe in like angels, and I believe in like the power of prayer, and like I believe in it. So that really changed my life. It's just I really genuinely believe that it just matters what you decide to call it, you know, because you know there's people in my life now that are like, it's about positive energy and you know the universe. Yeah, exactly calling it the universe and uh, investing positivity into the world and self belief and all these things. And it's like you could just change the verbiage of that and call it God and you would be still live in the same goddamn life as I as I take the Lord's same in vain. God loved it. I think you love laughing. He's r l rolling on the cloud, laugh rolling on the cloud laughing. I think really fitting. And you know what, hot engineer will not it along a thank you. Even Oprah, who is definitely like religious, like in a Christian sense, like I think she's even learned to just like in order for something, she wants to tell everybody about God, but knowing that she has to reach this white audience with very backgrounds, she refers to it as like this force that like guides you. That's what that's sort of what to therapy and my therapist. One of the first days, she asked me if I believed in God, and she was like, okay, then I'm gonna then she'll use the term God. But my girlfriend sees the same therapist in the girlfriend doesn't believe in God, so she calls it the universe and we're talking about the same thing. Put it out. It's but it's very true. She she uses God with me because it's something I know. Can I this is This might seem like totally un of noowhere. But do you talking about um this melanoma? I mean wow? First of all, Wow. Second of all, Um, do you and Molly ever talk about these kinds of things that Like Molly Molly Austin, friend of a friend of the show Only Austin. She she talks every now and then about, um, this near death experience or not, you know, not a near death experience, but like a really traumatizing physical experience she had about how that reorganized almost everything in her life. Yeah, it really, Yeah, it was there was like a before and after with that? Was there was there like a before and after thing with that? Like what was that? What was the shift there after? After? Like that moment I think that it was just like it sounds so cheesy, but it's just a real I think, you know God, But like it sounds so it's like you you really look at your life and you realize, like you're lucky. Like I started practicing you know what I practice more than anything else is gratitude. I thought you were going to say, Bocci, I was, you know what I practice more than anything else? That had like all the time and just to be thankful and I really felt like, you know, it's you know, it's it's it's just helped. It's yeah, I think it. Yeah. You know, if you want to practice bocci, if you could just when you host your show at Union Hall, at Battle of the Diva's, you know Union Hall, you could just go right up to court in the bar. That's true. So if you did want to practice bocci and get better at it, so talk to us about about your show Dial the Diva's with this bitch Matto Lane first of all, just tooking this back to Cathi Griffin, an interesting cooper that would be like a Matto, like a disowned like disowned you as a would never do that. It's like that. I adore mattal Lane our show Battle of the Diva's. You both have done it and you were a phenomenal We just take two diva Who won? I guess I just want to I guess I just want to know who won. The amount of times Matt will bring this up is truly shocking, So just so everyone knows, like, what does that sound like a contest that someone wins and then he can't still can't stop talking about it, So like victory sounds like a Trumpian fucking impulse. To me, it was like our we had you guys did Brittany versus Christian, which is which thank you for honoring us with that matchup, because that is that's a big one. That's the match up, that's that is the max. I mean there are there are only a few other ones that are like as big Whitney and Maria Maria, we had instinct Backstreet Boys, which great. So was it was that Sharon and Evans. Sharon and Evans and Evan was so so We're coming back and I really want your your opinions on this, on this match up. Okay, we invited Marie Fouston and Evan Williams back, all these divas, and I'm curious what you boys think it's going to be Katie Perry versus Taylor Swim. I mean, there is no comparison here, are you for real? I don't think there's a comparison. There's no contest. There's no contest. I think that's what that' is that what you mean? Like it's Taylor Taylor, Like Katie's had so many missis. Guys were saying this and I was convinced you were going to say Katiety, you know, because it doesn't matter what our opinion is. There's one who's objectively one is like there's one who's defeated the other. Yeah, like like Taylor's want quote unquote one which which like we don't necessarily agree with, but that is the like cold hard truth, capital t truth. It was hard. I will say, Marie is defending Taylor. That really so very funny. It's going to be literally is she gonna throw like I don't know how she feels about Connie, but she does that mean she's gonna throw Connie under the beast. It's not about how you feel, it's about what you do to win. It's like you have to throw it out, you have to perform. Matt has an interesting tactic and you both didn't I think, and this is this is an interesting thing that Matt Taylor and I noticed with Matt, he took the argument against Christine and turned it into the argument for Chris. It was it was trumpion. It was it was like using what you would shin on her four as if that was in power, but spitting, spinning it and then flipping the flipping this, flipping the entire and then he so, yeah, and who won the election? Mom is trauma. Okay, so I so I opened My opening argument was, Brittany has been through a lot. She's been We've seen her through so much. Everyone wasn't here a sob story. She's been with us, weep with her, weepen with her, and um, you know I did not, but I did not, And then I came out. And then I came out looking like a tramp. Okay, real quick. His definition of looking like a tramp. You were shorts that were completely covering you, black wife beater boots, and you wore a bandon sank slut. So anyway, his mat whole arguments completely. I was being such a hoe and oh no, I mean bowen. And I was Matt used what Christina used. Matt used his body, he used his body. I was a sexual. I was a sex positive, talented bitch and listen, and some of us out there in the world do not have that capital to barter her on that. And I was thinking I was making no, I was making a measured argument for Brittany, passionate, compelling, smart, It was interesting. And then Matt poses naked and a pile of beauty babies. I don't know one hands down, so funny. It was incredible, and but you know what, the people, the people vote on whoever. You know, that was right after Trump was elected, right right before this was like February January, and you had done Beyonce. I had just so here's the thing. So you came back with that. I had just represented Beyonce and the Beyonce versus Lady Gaga battle, and I had lost representing Beyonce. So I was not about to let that happen. And I saw what my failures were, and my failures were just assuming that I was going to get by on public narrative. That's what I thought I was, and those people already know. And honestly, you have to play here's the thing about. People go in for the underdogs. So the crowd goes to the show to play up the things that are funny and stupid about these icons, because that is what makes the comedy crowd laugh. You have, like every show we do, we just want to have you, guys want to have Marie Evan. Evan has won his pass battle, and Ree has won her passpresent and she she was unbelievably her best friend Sydney. Actually, no, we have not had Sydney and this one we're taking. We decided to take two champions who know the show? Who did that smart? Also with Sydney, we want to give her picks of diva's we we want to put. We want to do like a Janet Jackson one that's great. So we want Sydney to choose their diva which one she wants to do. We came on your podcast May She Rest and Rest and Piece. We pitched to you that you should do an addition with Disney Villains. Oh my god. And I talked to a tale that what did he think? Love? Okay? Then? Okay? Great? I mean literally love open offer, free, offer, take it honestly, thank you. Will you guys come back? Yes? Do you maybe like an Ursula versus Maleficent or something that's exactly what I was thinking. Versus Maleficent, I would I would come in hard for Jafar to oh is not Jar versus Scars? Okay? That and that's that's a different those are the icon would win it. I would want you would want to represent Ursula? Yeah? Um, Dan, you know who would represent melisas Mattea? I know Matteo and Fat. He talked about Maleficent at length on this podcast. Typical, typical, typical. You know he is such an encyclopedic, cortous knowledge of it. Um No, it's such a good show. Go check it out if you're listening shows coming up you have It's christs Are you still roast battling? You know what? Not? Really? No, tell us how. I've always been curious because you are basically a roast icon at this point. I want to know how you even got into like what like what what got you into this like gorgeous world into that or a bit because you would never think of you as someone who is a roaster. It's interesting, you know. I I knew I kind of figured that I could get away saying some fucked up ship because I can say it and you're so likable. Yeah, and I can really and and I say horrible I've said horrible things. But the stand was like started to do these roasts and I just tried it, and my first one, I really I liked having like an outlet to say really fucked up things and oh god, this is the worst. Um. I like going after like the physical Yeah, I'll go after the way I'll go after. I mean, nothing's off limits. It's low hanging fruit, but you know it's the juiciest fruit. And I do want to say that, like I did, I did so many of them, and I started to just that my stand up in my comedy took a back seat. So I'm very actively trying to not do them all the time anyway. Um, but I will say that, like in all the times I've done them, like everyone's very respectful, like, well me beforehand, and they'll say, like, is anything off limits? And then if I were to say, yes, don't say this, this this, which I never have, but people have said that, and that's respect. But that's respected, and like of course, like I would want to know that for anybody, Like I'm not saying that you don't want to hurt people, you know, so, but but I had a great I mean it was a great oppert tunity for me. So then you kept doing it at the stand. And then finally Comedy Central came knocking or were they just shot they just stuff at the stand. They shot a lot at the stand, and like Jeff Ross would come into the stand and so he saw me a couple of times and then um, and then yeah, then Comedy Central did this, did the show at Montreal, and I was the I mean I think because somebody turned it down. They because they I found out, I mean like a week before the thing that I was going. And then I battled Jimmy Carr, who was the biggest name and he had won the year before, so he was like the undisputed champion, and so we battled each other and he's like this legend and it was I gotta be honest. I think people like we're like, oh my god, like, are you terrified because You're going in this no name underdog And I was like, no, no no, no, this is the best best situation because because I know I'll get knocked out, but I don't give a funk. I can just have fun. It's nobody knows who I am, so I had nothing to lose. And I went in there like I was very in the moment. I was nervous. I had to prep myself and and I just like, you know, I brought myself into it, which I which I liked, and it didn't matter. It didn't matter. But did you end up? Oh? Can I tell you something, I've lost almost every roast I've ever done. I never win. I never ever win. But I'm a great loser. I'll do such a great job and I don't give it. It's not even about losing or winning. Yeah, so's it's been a lot of it's been a lot of fun. But I also like, I'll say this too, I had um as like a story of how you can overcome my first like big shows that I did at Carolines. Jeff had asked me to host and it was like my first time performing at Carolines and I'm not I I don't know if you guys have been in similar situations, but just just a bomb city, just bombs over back and I was, I mean it was. I I felt like I couldn't show my face in Carolines for a long time. I feel like I'm on the no fly list there. Oh my god, you know at this and I to the point where you're like, you you feel like you need to write everybody you know a letter and apologize for knowing them. I felt the same. I'm actually doing a show next week that I bombed like years ago, and I haven't done it for years because I bombed so hard and yet you're going to do great And I bombed so hard. The hardest I ever bombed was at a show with and I begged Matt to do it with me because I didn't know what I was going to do because I didn't really know about show for all people, talking about gay show for all people. We we fucking were so bad. But it was this is three years ago. I had no No, it was longer than that. This is right after we had just met them. This is right after we just met them. I didn't really know what I was doing, like in in comedy just at all besides like pap Roulette and and like um and like they had asked me to do it, and I was like, I don't know what then I'm gonna do because at that point I didn't didn't do characters, didn't do stand up, didn't do anything that was just me on a stage. And but they asked me, and I was like, okay, it was too terrified to turn them down because I just I still do but like them back then it was just like worshiped them. Um still do. And then so then I begged Matt to do to do this a bit with me where we were too Gray's Anatomy improvisers, like our specialty was we will improvise a scene. That was great but we got out. We came out and we got laughs because I was dressed that's like Meredith Gray and he was dressed as Christmas. Were like when you're like, we are Gray's Anatomy drag and people like that. I don't know. We just did it and then ashamed. Um, I understand, Yeah, I mean it takes you. It's it's a loss. Part of your soul goes away. And I was like, this is the biggest show I've ever done. I thought, Oh, Jeff's never gonna I still think, oh my god, is he ever gonna want to like work with me. It was an opportunity and I believe knew it. But part of me and you just move on. You get it for it, you got it, it's part of it. Part of me gets off on this failing and then balancing back. And I was listening to I was I've been listening to not a lot of how I'm trying to listen to more. I'm trying to go through the back catalog of Howard Stern interviews and they're great. Um. But the first time Lady Gaga was on, she talked about how she came up in like the Lewry Side scene, and like how she like bombed all the time, but she was like part of me got off on it and it made me want to be better. And I was like, yeah, that's cool. Yeah, it's interesting. It's interesting. Has you know, when you progress in this business, the stakes get higher because we feel like we have more to lose. It's I almost look back at the roast Battle experience with like a little sadness because I feel like I'll never really have it again. Like I was, I mean, not not that I'm I mean, I'm not a big name now, but I wasn't. I was like I was doing open micah and and to have gotten that and to go and now Carolines and now I feel like, you know, oh, like now it's like, well people, you know, expect me to be funny people. I'm still new comic, but like you're not anyone. But that's that's the great thing. And this is so exciting about the show um at Our at Ours Nova um is that the ceiling keeps you keep this, I'm sorry, the floor keeps rising high floor ceiling still high, ceiling rises with the floor, so like your horizons just analogy, but um, you know, you're just you're leveling up every every day. And it's so cool that you've gone to this place now where you can have a show at Ours Nova. That's a solo show. Thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to it. And if you're here, you should come. Yeah, it shouldn't be checking out. It's going to be really good and you get to you get to see me perform, which is always such a treat. Oh my god, it's always such a treat. Oh my god, do you know how much I love to perform? Yes? You boys are you? Boys are literally also too. I want to see real quick that, Like I was obsessed with both of you before you knew who I was. I remember exactly when you first saw me perform, and I was in my head, or at least when I know the guys, and I was in my head because I wanted to do really well in front of you guys, and I felt like I did five and I was like I really and I had like a good step, but I was like, I really want to press them because you guys performed as Papua Latte, which I have Molly and I have sat and watched all the paper Lette videos all the time. I mean, I remember so many of them. I mean, I love that's like the I mean, and I've gone on to follow all of you individually. I'm like a stalker. I would watch those videos and I would google you, and I'd google Suity, and I'd google Tessa and i google Amanda. Right, And I'm literally a psycho. And I loved it. So we loved doing it. It's just so hard to get everyone that it's got to be so you know how I started following on Instagram not too long ago. Is Amanda from Proper Life, who I've only met once. That bit you can sing, She's gonna be on the show soon. She's going to be man, I keep out a little bit over her vocals. We're going to try a different format. We're going to try something a little bit different, and it's going to be really really fun and the fans are going to be gagged. Yeah, or I didn't think everyone, So, I mean, all of you guys are so fun and I love I love Thanks Christy. No. The first time Christine and I ever like officially sat down and was at the you've heard the story before, right, I'm so glad you brought this up. I just want everyone to know that. The first time Christine, I like, actually I had a conversation was in the waiting room for the audition of what the fun was that joking off? It was joking of me, God blessed, it's a fun show. But our managers like put us in and put us up for this. Why were we there? Why there was so much homework to do? Do you remember? I came out of my audition, felt okay, and then staid, I'm going back in because I remembered I had one joke that I wanted to tell them, and I went back and expecting it to bring the house down, and it was like, think, thank you, I just slick slip out. No, I'm so glad you did that. I'm so glad you did that because you know what like that will that's like a that is like a swinging doors thing where like now you're on this path in life that will that you like where you will sort of like make sliding doors. I'm sorry, that's why that's a sliding doors story with Paltrowwyneth Paltrow, Gwyneth, I know my references. So it's a sliding doors thing now because you will always go back into rooms and be like, wait one more, and that is it didn't make a difference. It doesn't matter. The room was so awful. It was we had they would show me, they would what we do on our Instagram every day. And at one point one of my notes was okay, you know, to make a joke about the picture, right and not just say what you see. I was like that feeling when it catas into the living room, like okay, can you say something funny? That's bob. It was just like it was just like a weird, like aged crat house vibe where it was just these people sitting on couches like just foot's up on. They were too chill. They were too chill about it, and it made me very self common. I was like, look alive, yeah, trying to make moves there a baby, yeah yeah yeah. But anyway, that was that was you were the perfect person that room with me. I'm so happy that's the genesis of your relationship. The joking off on this and I think I like rot like did you hear anything? I was like, no, imagine if we both got better show it's canceled. It's not anymore. Oh I know why that was canceled. And on the I think I even casually mentioned. I was like, oh yeah, yeah, and I'm friends with Matteo to like an, I've been that in emails, I've written whatever. No emails is fine, but um, it is now time to move on to I don't think so, honey. Now, Christie, I didn't prepare the last time. You didn't. I don't think so, honey. You were throwing things, you were stopping about. Remember the email I wrote you the day after apologizing. I wrote on that email I took a water gun and used it without permission, and I feel like they overstepped, but you didn't never stop. In fact, it was entertainment. I might be wrong, but I feel like I was the first person to draw from the trouball. I think you might have been first. Wait, that's huge, that's historic. First person ever dropped from the trouble And I had something prepared. I was like, you know what, I love a challenge. What did you say your prepared thing was going to be about? Well, maybe she'll do it now. Maybe she'll do it now because I really didn't prepare. Anything's fine, don't worry. We'll go first first. You go first, man, Okay, I will go Okay, shouldn't be current or no young minus minus for all time. Okay, give me as timeless as you want, maybe like Jesus. Okay, alright, I'm excited. Okay, this is Matt Rodgers. I don't think so, honey, think of new ones because you've seen so many. But there's always But you have to It's rule number six of culture. You have to be oh my god. It's like I immediately go to the classics who have done your show, and I think of their don't go over there, don't go your own way. It's really number fourteen of culture. Don't go their girlfriend. This is Matt Rodgers. Is I don't think so, honey. Time starts now. I don't think so, honey. Auditions, No, you come to me. I've been out there before. I do many shows. You want me for a project, you come to me. I don't think so, honey. The agent Greeks and the Romans they started theater, but they did not start auditions. I believe it is natural, Honey, for me to stand in front of a crowd and perform. I believe it is something that even the ants do. I believe the birds do it. I believe it is part of nature. I do not believe, honey. I don't think so, honey, that it is natural for the ants to say hi, my name is in number sixteen, and here is my audition. I do not think the Greeks and the Romans stepped in front of each other and audition for parts. Therefore, why should I? This is capitalist nonsense. You want to see me in a performance to see if I'm good for your show. Come to my show in December. Have you heard of Christmas? At the Duplex? First time? Come to my show? Auditioners, You come to me ching, who oh, and that's one minute with a little cards on my fucking body monologue you memorized. There were beats the timing the review of your new show. Oh my god, I've been doing this a long time. I believe that auditions are really quickly. I'm sorry. What was the show called? Have you heard of Christmas? This is Matt. This is an exciting announcement. I'm doing two shows at the Duplex in December, on December twelfth and December twenty one. I'll be accompanied by Henry Koperski. It's the release of my Christmas album. Have you heard of Christmas? Are you for real? Is my album coming out. Probably not, but let's just say that it original song will be a full catalog of original holiday music. I'm saving the date right now. I will be there. I have you heard of Christmas chas? Yours truly is designing the album cover and I've heard a few snippets of some of the songs, and I gotta tell you can't miss this. Can you give me a little, just a little, a little, but I will say that I can. I can announce that I will have some special guests. Um they will be announced, they will be announced. Oh my god, this is huge, this is well did you have any idea this was going to happen? No ideas? Okay, here have you heard of Christmas December? What were the date? December twelve and December one? Amazing the legendary Duplex Cabaret. I love, first of all, I love speaking of Josh and Aaron Pioneers. I mean, I mean people a cold school. I've had shows there, of course, but now it's really is becoming this nice new back on that I opened for Katherine Cohen and I was floored, floored to my core. She just did her her one woman show and it was incredible, and Henry played the Yeah, we're going right after this, We're going to Henry wanted to go, and I can't have a birthday party, but I really wanted to go. See it was phenomenal. Venny was something about that venue. It's really great. Benny Barbara's pretty cool, alright, I don't think so unique and his time starts. I don't think so, honey. The employees of the Doc Martin store on on Spring Street, bitch, I just bought a pair of beautiful black boots. But honey, the service there was deplorable. If I want to walk into the room full of fucking bleach haired Asians, I'd turn on sailor Moon. Bitch. I don't know. That's not even a good joke. Whatever. It was just all these dour, like tragically hip Asians and then like girl, this was my phase back in old Honey. I've I've done bleached my hair too. I've been I I went to your fucking these Conversations of the West seminars in college and your liberal arts programs. To honey, you're not special, you are not so smooth. You don't have the right to comment on how my feet are a little anomalous or whatever the fuck you think. I have perfect feet. I get to wear whatever boots I wanted five seconds. Don't tell me it's final sale. I know I'm not an idiot. I don't think so, Honey, that's one minute. What do you think that Matt always has something to note on my don't? Well? Not a question, the question what you had bleached hair? I bleach my hair. This was pretty recently, two or three years ago, bleached and it was blue and gray, blue, silver. And I missed to see photos and I'll show you. I miss it so much. But I don't think I can get away with it now because I think like people can be like, oh but auditions blah blah blah blah. But I don't think Johnny auditions. Um, what do you have to say, Matt? I don't have a thought. I thought it was really beautiful. I thought what was amazing? And I resent the um, I resent your tone and saying that I constantly have a note. No, I wasn't saying let me tell you something. Me and Will just shared a glance, and I know that I know that we both think that you're really ridiculous. Matt. You and I can't fight over an engineer will yet this early? But yeah, we can't fight because bitch, I already want can I ask you gave me his number? I want? I want to clear. I have a clarifying question. Gave me his number? Stop stop, I have a clarifying question for you about your I don't think so, I will text him. What was what were the ants about? You're saying ants do theater? I was saying that everyone, every organism does theater. Okay, that's what even I think. I don't know that it will understand. That is trying to be like little little Mr Sociologists for animals. But I don't think I don't think it. You have something ready, and I'm just gonna. I'm gonna. I drew from the troll birl in my head. I think you're I don't think so, honey. Her time starts now, Okay, I don't think so, honey. My adult acne, I mean what the people who say it gets better do they know about adult acne? Because I'm really struggling, you know, And it's not it's in places I didn't know it would ever be. It's it's it's hard. You know. People go through that stage in high school. But I'm a grown as woman and I'm really trying. I wish I was awkward in high school. Now I should be thriving, you know. And when when the pimples are by your hair and it hurts when you brush it, I mean, I don't think so honey, brushing hair with pimples. Right, well, I threw the table, you know. I don't think so honey. Having to buy expensive crane. I don't think so honey. Having to contour my face around my pimples. I don't think, so honey, having to wear makeup, but I don't want to wear makeup. I don't think, so honey. Why aren't me? Why? Why aren't people cool? You know, the Kardashians should make acne cool and then I'll be cool. I don't think so honey. Wow, I think that we have a lot to think about. Why aren't pimples cool? Like if the Kardashians said they were cool, they'd be cool. If if some I fucking Gwyneth Paldrow, right, if if like some lifestyle blogger walked into this room and was like, you know what, pimples actually make you better in sex in secks, better in secks, you know, what you'd be like great, and it's like a weird thing, like maybe my next I don't think so, honey is going to be like makeup.
