We did sit down for a full I would say, what four and a half hours something like that, something like that, and onun't you know? At part five, the final run of this four hundred Iconic four hundred lists, Part five, the audio done fucked up. It was in fact human error, not on our parts, not on our parts, certainly not on our parts. But here we are, I mean, we're taking time out of both of our busy schedules. It's no one at the network's false either. No big money players has never been stronger and closer We are a tight unit, and thank you to the whole team. Everyone tries there able to salvage the audio and the video. Suffice it to say, we will never be putting ourselves in a position where this will ever happen again. And by that position we mean that studio. Let's just say, let's just say that.
We're not saying where it was. We're just saying, Wolf, what a disappointment because we sat there for a very long time to record this. But you know what, we love you more than we feel our disappointment. And so here we are recording part five of the Iconic four hundred. This is the grand finale. By the end of this episode, you will know who number one is. We want to introduce Hot producer Becca to the chat. Hello.
She has been dinging and donging and I just I did think about this the other day. I said she had to keep her eye on the damn clock for four hundred times, like four hundred rounds. I said, that is focused while Chicha was on her lap, barking and darkin and she's.
Amazing. She didn't make the list, but Chicha is honorable mention with Halsey.
With Halsey Chicha and Ashley, congratulations. You know, as we said, HM is sometimes better than being on the list.
Now, just before we launch into everything, I did just want to say one thing. Oof, you guys, the hurricane that just the hurricanes that have happened down in Florida, all really along the coast from North Carolina on down like in Inland. It's so devastating, Like my family is personally affected, and just think of those people, Like if you're in a giving mood right now, I know everyone's being asked for money a lot, but you know there's people that really need help, and so you can spare literally anything, do your research about. I can't off the top of my head say where exactly to send money, but just please be aware that there's people that are a lot of This is just a serious amount of devastation, and there was no way to come back from the first one in time for the second one. Of course, it would be helpful if the governor of the state, you know, took a call from the President and vice president of the United States, but I guess he's not willing to do that.
It would be helpful if federal funding would not be held hostage either, so this is why, even though again we are very aware that you're not all ATMs, this is incredibly devastating and overwhelming and sad, and please do what you can and if you're affected, we are with you and thank you for listening. If on the off chance you are listening to us as you are like surveying the damage that has been wrought into your world and your lives. Hello, Hi, any reflections that you have met as we head into this, I guess this is a nice moment that we have of respite reflecting on the iconic four hundred before we dash through to the finish line.

I'm so happy they're striking back. Well, not that they're young and that they're they're playing.
I don't think that's true. I actually think and this is my conspiracy theory, Like you think that Frank Sinatra killed Marilyn Monroe, which was something crazy. I believe that the orcas are more intelligent that humans, and they finally had it. I heard I have it on good authority. There's a matriarch who is organizing them, the young ones, to attack all boats because she's so traumatized and she's had it. And I need to see Amy Adams play this role as well done it can be done.
Frank Sinatra was banned for Marilyn Monroe's funeral. I just found this out. You're onto something bo Number probably the person I have watched on screen for the most duration of time in my lifetime. Like if you if I really tally up the minutes of people I've watched on screen, probably she is number one. Yeah, she's been in every single one of my favorite movies throughout my lifetime. Someone who talks about quote unquote process, I want to qu not quote unquote, like literally, she talks about process in the way that is not at all like cloying or like saccharine. I'm just like I could talk watch you talk about acting or movie making all day.

Oreo Cookies, especially double stuff. I don't stand much of a chance. I get it, I'm clearing sleeves. But then they get weird with the flavors, like did you eat the chromatic Oreo?
I did not great and will say, but that's not a knock to Gaga, knock on Gaga, Nibisco or Yeah. Number twenty seven Kelly Clarkson.
Thank you for everything that you are. Thank you for everything that comes out of your goddamn mouth, whether you're speaking or singing, because it's the best thing I've ever heard. Either way.

They said, we're rooting for her even when she's fucked up. And there were whole seasons where she was sparks up. The first anti hero, Don Draper.
Don Draper found no Tony Soprano, No, no way.
Carrie Bradshaw was the first real complexity on.
Television, and now was Sarah Deesica Parker number seven.
Beyonce spoke for all the single ladies the same way that Sarah Doesaka spoke for all the women in New York City. Beyonce said, ah, the single ladies, and we responded, ah, the single ladies.

Your hands up. The moment that Beyonce, the self titled came out. You know how it's BC before Christ, it should be b B before Beyonce.
So there's BK C and then there's there's a period between a case, but that's still B B yeah. Number six Glick, Oh my god, they say now that the good interview doesn't exist anymore.

You single handedly changed the pop musical landscape, culture landscape, real period pop culture landscape.
It does it.
I mean it just it should be you know how they have BC, it should be b lg in more.
Ways than one. You know, every single time you do anything, it's interesting, it's serrated. In the words of Bowen Yang, it is legendary. It is Lady Gaga. You are a one of once in a lifetime icon. You're one of a kind. And if there could be one hundred people in a room, but if Lady Gaga's in the room, there's only one lady one Lady Gaga.
There could be one hundred Lady Gaga's in the room, and I would be happy.
I would be overwhelmed. Winy oh God. First of all, the truly like, it's hard to not say that Oprah Winfrey is number one, but the fact is Oprah Winfrey. Like remember when she gave that speech at the Golden Globes and everyone was like, be president please. Everyone was like, fully, come on, who's to say that she shouldn't be She can save us?
And they say that the song that I think it was Nickelback wrote for Spider Man.

You don't Oprah number one number one? Wait before we get into it, So this is number one on the Iconic four hundred. We've made it. What do you say? We just, without saying who it is, play this person's I don't think so.

I don't think so, honey.
Listen.
I can't with the overhead lighting. Oh why do they do it to us? I shouldn't even say us, because it's not us, it's me. I'm the one that gets the most torture by the hideous lighting in every elevator, doorway, gyms.
That I go to. The gym.
But I'm just saying it's hideous. Lighting the sun. I mean, the sun is okay if it's at sunset, and then I will gladly go outside and put the you know, there's a hat on or whatever, and that'll be pretty because it's sunlight caressing your skin. But it's bad for you, so you gotta be careful of that. But overhead lighting, I don't think so, honey, Please stop it. Every place I go, I shut the lights, turn them out.
I don't want to see them. No more, yes, no more, honey, one more thing. Overhead lighting.
It makes me sick.
The fact that we got Rhona Carries, I don't think overhead lighting is.

I love you so much. Matt Rogers, love you, Bowen Yang. You are the star of my life of culture. To me, you are the most talented, the funniest person ever to live. And I'm just so lucky to be a friend, to be a collaborator with you, and to share a zoom with you.
To say that the feeling is mutual would be of That would be to put it mildly. Who didn't make the list, But I guess like we've already highlighted her in such a way. Just understand, Mandy, you're you won the lifetime of Cultural Awards better than the list? Do you know what I mean? Better than the list? Oppenheimer was on the list? Girl? Well, I mean do we end every episode with a song?
Like every episode with the song? And speaking of heroes, we sing a song about heroes earlier. This is another one.

If you look inside, you don't have to be afraid. And if you want to hear how that song was written, listen next week, but when Mariah carries on last last.
