Look man, oh I see you?
0:03
Why why? And look over there?
0:05
How is that ulture? Yes? Goodness,
0:11
last culture just calling and
0:14
rain on us more
0:16
like not even just me, because
0:18
we're both in the same room, and if a cloud
0:21
came and rained on us, it would have a very hard time
0:23
doing so. Every part
0:25
of that statement is so accurate. Wait
0:27
did you say that? Did you just reveal that we were in
0:29
the same room? I revealed, I went ahead and revealed.
0:32
Was that? Okay? No, that's okay. I just I took
0:34
my headphones off. Um,
0:36
are you going to take yours off too? I'm also taking mind
0:38
off because we can, I can put am I
0:40
making you feel self conscious? No? No No, no, no no, It was just so
0:43
basically for all the readers at home, we're kind of
0:46
re establishing what it
0:48
means to record a podcast in the same room
0:50
again, you know what I mean? And so that
0:52
means many things. It means certain audio
0:54
has to get figured out, and we are just mere
0:57
mortals here. We don't really know what we're doing. Is
1:01
let me ask you something? Did it? It started to feel
1:03
like the new normal that we were recording on Zoom,
1:05
wasn't it? It It started to feel like the new normal and also,
1:07
to be honest with you, I felt like the guests
1:10
that we were getting were extreme because
1:13
through very much
1:16
so like I will, then I thought
1:18
to myself, like, okay, so the quarantine
1:20
right, the fact that it happened
1:23
got us into survivor, and
1:25
then that's what got us part and we would
1:27
not have been able to have part if it weren't
1:29
for COVID. I'm not saying
1:31
I'm happy COVID happened at all. You're
1:34
not. You're not like Jennifer Aniston, that Hollywood reporter
1:36
around table who was like, you know, COVID is actually a blessing
1:38
and then and then it was like
1:40
it was community, yeah,
1:43
and it was basically I'm not Jennifer Anniston
1:45
right now. I am, however, saying that
1:48
I am happy that we were able
1:50
to have the kind of guests that we've had,
1:53
which because we felt unmoored by the
1:55
location of it all right, and
1:57
it was like we only have to be
1:59
in the same time, in the same not even the same place.
2:01
We just have to be together at the same time. We just have to exist
2:04
in the same world with internet really to
2:06
get anyone we want, and we've asked some asks,
2:09
we've had some masks. We've put some masks out, that's
2:11
true. Um. Anyway, readers,
2:14
I'm in l A. Now. This is a very long
2:16
standing plan since March. Study
2:19
and I we're gonna fly out here anyway.
2:21
I'm in Los Angeles now for a little bit.
2:24
This is a long standing plan. We're
2:27
taking every precaution we can. Isn't that right.
2:29
Let's just say that Bone and I are seated across
2:31
the room from each other, and it's very
2:34
um, sort of the fifties shades of gray
2:36
boardroom scene where we are very much negotiating
2:39
with each other from across the room and it
2:41
is dimly lit and the stakes are high.
2:43
It's very power
2:45
couple. Web series story Matt Rogers and Study Green
2:47
to Peter Kelly the Britain episode,
2:50
which was modeled after that fifties shades scene.
2:52
Now this is what it is. Thank you for that
2:54
shout out to my work. It's wonderful.
2:58
Um. You and I are Chloe and
3:01
Holle and we're we're in the tennis courts
3:03
shooting our music videos. Wow,
3:05
we are very Chloe and Hell Chloe. Can
3:08
I say, like out loud right now that we are the Chloe
3:10
and Hollye of podcasting, and
3:13
this is and that we were influenced by Beyonce
3:16
and ye are a duo.
3:18
We were influenced by Beyonce. We were raptured
3:22
by a larger corporate structure also
3:24
known as I Heart, also known as
3:27
um Well, Will Ferrells are Beyonce. Will
3:29
Ferrells really our Beyonce. And also we should say
3:31
that, um, while is
3:34
it Chloe or Halley that is in Little Mermaid,
3:36
It's it's Hallian Calle is it in Little
3:38
Mermaid? And we aspire to be in Little
3:40
Mermaid as Flotsam and jetson. So
3:42
there is like a familial thing here. We
3:44
are all sisters. And
3:47
I am so happy that my sister is here in
3:49
Los Angeles with me because I
3:51
can better take care of her and she
3:53
me, and also we can do things like this
3:56
very fun episode because I don't
3:58
know if you know, and I know
4:00
that you know. But that's the way I can transition
4:02
into saying it's actually
4:04
our two hundredth episode of Lost Cultures,
4:08
and there's I mean, let's do the math. Two
4:10
hundred times one point five. That's three
4:12
hundred hours on average
4:15
of us talking, hundreds
4:17
of hours of us out there shooting
4:20
the absolute shit, saying
4:22
really crazy things. And that's
4:24
the thing is, it's like people
4:26
who are like I'm starting the podcast from the beginning,
4:29
I'm like, oh, bitch, to
4:31
be a journey. You're gonna hear us talking about
4:33
how we can't wait for Hillary Clinton to win the damn
4:36
president thing. Let's just say we, like
4:38
the rest of the world, from March two thousand sixteen
4:40
to November sixteen, were quite confident
4:43
and now it'll it
4:46
is like kind of crazy to think, like, um,
4:49
how far not only like the podcast
4:51
has come, but also the world has come and we've
4:54
come individually, but also that we started
4:56
this in a different world climate.
4:59
Yeah, like in almost
5:01
every way. I mean yeah,
5:04
And look now you and I are both
5:07
completely radicalized, and
5:10
um, we're radical girl, We're radical
5:12
girls. We embrace the radicality. Let
5:16
me just say, Matt Rodgers just mixed
5:19
to me the strongest vodka Red
5:21
Bull I've ever had, and it's such a tall,
5:23
tall tumbler. Well there's
5:25
two shots in it too, full shot
5:27
girl. I have not had a full on cocktail in
5:29
like a month. Well, this is part of
5:32
the new normal, which is we have to find a way
5:34
to drink too much, even though we're not
5:36
going out, and this is just gonna be like, I'm
5:38
excited that Boonen is here. It's
5:41
our two hundred episode. I mixed us a little
5:43
celebratory cocktail, and I'm very
5:45
excited about it because this is not just the two
5:47
episode. We've actually prepared, which
5:50
we do not often do for
5:52
last reasons. We have prepared
5:54
a list and it's
5:57
it's actually real culture number thirteen. Culture
6:00
is lists absolutely
6:04
and Bowen what is this list? So
6:06
it's our two hundredth episode of Lost Cultures,
6:08
just not counting those little, you know, ad swamps
6:11
where we just do a little fifteen minute episode where
6:13
we show you a preview of a Jaws theme podcast
6:15
or whatever, the standalone
6:18
episode. So in honor of this, we
6:22
have prepared a list of the
6:24
top two hundred moments in culture
6:26
history. These are the top two
6:29
hundred moments that have happened
6:31
in culture history, as
6:33
decided by Matt Rogers and Bowen
6:36
Lost Culture Estes. We are a
6:38
little bit drunk, but we feel
6:40
very confident about
6:43
what we've put on the list, that this is a
6:45
definitive list that is empirically
6:47
ordered. I would say, um,
6:50
every spot on this
6:52
list. Uh is
6:54
a huge deal. It's culture. It's
6:56
it's something that shaped the culture in a positive
6:58
way from the beginning of recorded
7:01
history. Yes, from our viewpoint,
7:04
which is the empirical objective
7:06
viewpoint, because I actually remember the first
7:08
episode of Last Cultures and we're calling all the
7:10
way back, we did say it. If
7:12
we say it on this podcast, it is
7:15
cannon. Did we say this, Yes, we
7:17
we said we are the Lost cultures. Does I
7:19
means we are the arbiters of culture
7:21
and taste? Yes, I
7:24
mean we We really evolved over the course
7:26
of that first episode where we started out.
7:28
I do believe we started out by saying we're the arbiter
7:30
where the consultants of culture, culture
7:32
consultants, which is not a phrase we have said since,
7:35
not since, but I really want to harken
7:37
back to that sort of um
7:39
that ethos and then and then by
7:42
the end of the episode, I guess we said that anything
7:44
that we say is canon. Yeah. Well, even
7:47
if it wasn't said, I'm saying we said.
7:49
And what's important is that we
7:52
as culture consultants have consulted
7:54
with each other. And I don't
7:56
trust anyone as much as I
7:58
don't trust anyone as much as Matt ros and you know
8:00
that I've been I have not been blowing smoke up You're
8:02
asked these last couple of days since I've seen you in
8:05
person, I was like, Matt Rodgers, He's he's
8:07
he's he's the one, He's the culture Maven
8:10
Well, and we know that Bowen Yang has,
8:13
you know, not only created culture in his
8:15
own right, but he is one
8:17
of the refined minds of our generations.
8:19
And this is us sitting in my apartment absolutely
8:23
blowing smoke off each other's but holes
8:25
tight or otherwise, hight or otherwise.
8:27
And I have to say we have raised
8:30
our drinks. And this is also going out to not
8:32
only just our incredible
8:34
team at my heart, but also shout out to Forever
8:37
Dogs. Forever Dog. Shout out to Yes
8:39
Go gave us our start and allowed
8:42
us to do exactly what we wanted to do.
8:44
Shout out to every single guest
8:47
we have had on the podcast, thank
8:49
you, and what else. Anyone that's come
8:51
to our live shows I don't think so honey live,
8:54
anyone that's bought a ticket, anyone who's
8:56
performed for that matter, performed for that
8:58
show. And so we
9:01
have to say to all the
9:03
readers, thank you,
9:05
bitch for listening to last culture
9:08
reasons, whether you're a recent person
9:10
who started listening or you've been here from the very beginning.
9:12
I remember we used to look at our listener account
9:15
and be like, oh my god, sixty two people listen.
9:17
Remember that. I remember
9:19
the day that we broke three digits, three
9:21
figures, and that was a big day. I
9:23
think it was on the Aaron Jackson and Josh
9:25
Haarp episode, the first And they'll be back, and they'll
9:27
be back back. But
9:30
suffices to say, we have accrued
9:32
much knowledge over these years during the podcast,
9:34
and we came in with our inherited
9:36
knowledge is as homosexual gay
9:38
man, and we have put
9:41
together this list. Now. Matt alluded
9:43
to earlier that we consulted with each other on
9:45
this list, and that is true. We there
9:47
were a couple of points of contention on this list.
9:50
I wanted to take some stuff off. I wanted to add some
9:52
stuff in. Matt said, no, we're keeping that note. We're
9:54
we're not putting that in. Although I will
9:56
say ultimately this was a pretty We only
9:59
disagreed about two or items and like pretty
10:01
much the rest of it is. Of course, but
10:03
I'm saying this is a collaborative
10:05
effort. This is an effort that we had
10:07
to, yes, kind of watch
10:10
ourselves on on an individual level and be like, actually,
10:12
know if this is not important to me, this is important
10:14
to him, or it's important to me and not to him, And I'm gonna fight for
10:16
its importance. This is a
10:19
beautiful list. I think it's some of our best work. I
10:21
think it's some of our best work. And I think that everything
10:23
here has a place here and belongs here. And
10:25
I am excited to start
10:28
the list mailing of the top
10:30
two moments in pop culture
10:32
history. Yes, okay, let's
10:35
begin with the very first thing we have to say.
10:37
There is an honorable mention on the list.
10:39
Honorable mentions. She did not make the cut.
10:41
She almost made the cut Ladies and Gentlemen
10:43
number two hundred and one, but doesn't really get
10:45
a number because she did not make the list. It is
10:48
Nicole Singer,
10:50
give it up. I mean, I was listening to
10:52
react today. What a
10:54
comeback single, great comeback single. And you know,
10:56
I've really respected her since buttons absolute
11:00
Louis and you've you've had
11:02
to respect her at some point, especially
11:05
when she was Andrew lod Webber's
11:07
firstwhile news and then they felt that they had
11:09
a falling out. Well they you know, they had a falling out
11:11
because she wanted to do The X Factor in the UK
11:13
because she is famously an international
11:16
talent show judge and we respect
11:18
that, and you respect her because she's
11:20
an international talent show judge. And
11:23
she also can turn on
11:25
musical theater. Yeah, oh
11:27
yeah. And the voice you can't, you can't,
11:29
you just can't beat it. I mean, her performance of Don't Cry
11:32
for Me Argentina was absolutely
11:34
amazing. And Andrew load Webber famously said,
11:36
I mean the way she acted that amazing
11:39
and she's incredible. But she did not she did
11:42
not make the list. But let's not get going. Let's get
11:44
started unless we have to blow past a lot of these
11:46
items. But let's start with number two hundred. Let's
11:48
say together for all of these number two hundred,
11:50
when when Brittany said good
11:53
Morning America. When
11:55
Brittany came out and said good morning America in
11:57
that voice, I mean I think that we all knew she
11:59
was bad. She knew she was
12:01
back promoting her new lead single
12:04
against Me, good
12:06
Morning America. And I promise
12:09
you it'll be a morning to remember, see
12:11
you soon that you
12:14
know, and then the transition into would you hold
12:16
it against me? I mean there
12:18
there has a lot that can be said
12:21
about Britney Spears. She is a revolutionary
12:23
pop star. But when she came out
12:25
and said good Morning America, I
12:27
feel that America really woke up. She
12:29
had just I
12:31
mean it sounds like from her for the timber of
12:33
her voice, it sounds like she had just swan
12:36
dived into a pool, got a little
12:39
flemmy in the nose and in the sinus. And
12:41
then there was Brittany, you have to shoot your good Morning America
12:43
promo right now. I mean it sounded like
12:46
like a cartoonishly big hammer hit her
12:48
right in the nose and broke it. I mean like, honestly,
12:50
it was. We will never get answers
12:52
really as to why it was the way it was, but
12:55
I can say what answer to your question? Was this
12:57
iconic? Yes? It was number two hundred
13:00
on our list. Yes, let's move on to number is
13:03
TL video.
13:07
This was an amazing video, an amazing
13:09
song that was later covered by Glee stars
13:12
Lea Michelle, Lea Michelle and I believe
13:14
Diana Agron Diana when they did
13:16
I'm Pretty mashed up with I Feel
13:18
Pretty from West Side Story iconic mash up.
13:21
But of course we have to go back to the source,
13:23
and that was the Unpretty video
13:25
which started t Buzz, Chili and
13:27
left Ie in some sort of future, some like
13:30
sort of floating den. There was very
13:32
much their vibe. It was off of fan mail,
13:34
and of course we remember the theme was like Y two
13:37
K digital and it's
13:39
the video is sort of interspersed with cuts
13:41
to a bunch of monitors
13:43
that say things like probe searching
13:46
or digital search
13:48
or these very new concepts at the time,
13:51
Like computers were huge at this time, and
13:53
so what they did was they blended
13:55
the idea of computers with the idea
13:57
of and
13:59
so they took those two things and put them together.
14:02
And honestly, this is an absolute
14:04
bob of a song. Its lyrics are beautiful
14:06
and the video took it to the next level. You got acting
14:09
from the girls and I love it when to pop star acts
14:12
and we can't have tlc araser no
14:14
no no, I mean, and we
14:16
can't have a raiser over the fact that t Bas
14:19
went on Celebrity Apprentice and was and
14:22
had to make an impression for our current president.
14:24
Isn't that crazy? Oh my god, to think
14:26
that these celebrities had to dance, and to think
14:28
that t Bas had something like unpretty
14:30
inside her and she had to like bow down
14:33
to Trump. No, like please, Trump needs to
14:35
have some respect for t Bas and
14:37
by extension, Chili and left Ie, who
14:39
we say, rest in peace. Left Eye, you are
14:41
amazing in an icon. You're amazing in an nicon.
14:43
What's the next one, man? Well, the next one hundred.
14:46
Number one on our Top two hundred
14:48
Items and Culture list is the
14:50
Austin Powers Trilogy
14:53
starring Mike Myers. I think we
14:55
can say this was an incredible character, an incredible
14:58
character for Mike Myers. What to be a well and
15:00
you cannot to speak that it was a trilogy.
15:02
Oh no, There were three films in this
15:04
series, which makes it a trilogy by definition.
15:07
And to think of the characters that were born
15:09
not just from one film, but two and three
15:12
films. You had Fat Bastard
15:14
played by Mike Meyers, Mike, you had gold
15:16
Member played by Mike Myers.
15:19
You had Seth Green Scotty,
15:21
you had Seth Green a Scotty. I mean,
15:23
also, never forget probably the iconic
15:26
character from it all is not even Austin, But I would
15:28
say Dr Evil. Dr Evil played by
15:30
Mike Myers play and to think he is
15:32
out there playing multiple characters, this obviously as
15:34
an actor who has been involved in sketches,
15:37
and we know that from his origins
15:39
at a Saturday night, Yes, which puts
15:41
him in the family. Which puts him in the family, you know.
15:44
And many people say Dr Evil is based on
15:46
Mr Lorne Michaels can confirm, can
15:49
neither confirm nor didn't? You have to wow?
15:53
Okay? And also we have to shout out the amazing
15:55
women of the franchise. I'm talking about
15:57
Elizabeth Hurley there and
16:00
Beyonce Knowles Carter. The fear
16:03
in Bowen's eyes as he checked in with me that it was
16:05
in fact Heather ground it was. I was sure that it was
16:07
Heather. I wasn't sure if you, like had
16:09
had left Heather Graham's mind behind back in
16:11
two thousand three. Excuse
16:13
me, this is the hangover rature.
16:17
She had to come back, her incredible performance,
16:19
her incredible versatile performance of performance
16:22
in the Hangover and empowered performance. And I
16:24
think we can all agree that Austin powers
16:26
was comedically a formidable
16:29
trilogy when and it's
16:31
time. I'm saying you and I have talked
16:33
about how I mean, I love Austin
16:35
powers me too. It's I'm not
16:38
lying, and I wanted to do a fourth is our energy
16:40
mannic Right now, I am is
16:43
hitting me sideways,
16:45
it's fucking me sideways, and I am
16:48
who maybe that someone's
16:50
getting sideways. I'm amped, I'm not. Let's
16:52
talk about Can we talk about something? What did
16:54
the math? I have not had sex since December?
16:57
You did? For a second, I thought
16:59
you said I did meth. I
17:02
said I didn't have math, and you have had
17:04
sex since when I did meth? And I did the
17:06
math and I have not had sex since December.
17:10
We don't have to we can cut this. That's six months.
17:13
Yeah, and we're not going to bitch
17:15
bitch, Well, we'll have to find
17:17
someone who's COVID free in Los Angeles for
17:20
you. I I literally implore, like,
17:22
it's going to be such a fabulous
17:24
experience for the person fucking
17:27
you end for you to have sex, so
17:29
much pressure on them and on it doesn't need
17:31
to be a lot of pressure, and you know what, it should be fun. It's actually
17:33
real culture number eleven sex should
17:35
be five. We are minutes into
17:38
this episode, SIPs into
17:40
our drinks and a hundred ninety
17:42
seven away from our top number one
17:44
moment and culture. So our number
17:46
one nine seven moment of
17:48
culture is ocean expedition
17:52
slash exploring of our
17:54
world. See that you put this
17:56
in explain this. I think that once
17:58
we just once we just of her, that we could go
18:01
into the ocean and discover the bottom
18:03
of the seas. That opened
18:05
the door to so much culture Because
18:07
think about all the culture we would not have if
18:10
we hadn't been able to explore the seas
18:12
of the world. You know, Titanic, which we're going
18:14
to touch on later, we would never
18:16
have Titanic fever finding Dory, That's
18:19
what I'm saying. Finding Dory and also finding Nemo
18:21
we have. There are so many things
18:23
that are happening in the ocean that we needed.
18:25
We required scientists to have the
18:27
technology to go around the ocean to discover.
18:30
Do you have any oceanographers marine biologists
18:33
that you want to shout out right now? Yes, I would
18:35
love to shout out Miss Frizzle who
18:37
got in her Um. Of course,
18:39
magic school Bus, which was famously was magic
18:42
and dove to the bottom of the sea.
18:44
And we should say, right now, as I shout her
18:46
out, miss Frazzle did not make the top
18:48
two hundred items. They're sorry we
18:51
apolished her. Not that she didn't even in, but she just
18:53
wasn't one of the top two hundred. She and
18:56
like we're not talking about her like I I did not.
18:59
I have not thought of his first and so long, and
19:01
I can't say that I have either. It took you to bring
19:03
her up for me to remember who she was. What is
19:05
your favorite moment in ocean history.
19:08
I think my favorite moment in ocean history was
19:10
when I mean, we're to
19:12
talk about it later. So I don't want to
19:14
sort of shoot my load as it below
19:17
the load, my load as it were. Um.
19:20
But you know, just even the beginning of Titanic, I
19:22
remember as a kid, when they were going down
19:24
into the rusty rest of the ship. I
19:26
was like, there's something about this that I left. I
19:28
want to be down there. I want to I want to dig up the little
19:31
things from the fireplace. And
19:33
there's something there's something so great about
19:35
that, and it just made me, you know, if if
19:37
Titanic, if I followed that thread
19:40
a little bit more. If I pulled on that a little bit more, I
19:42
might have been, you know, the submarine biologist,
19:45
you know who Bill Paxiston in that movie. I would
19:47
have been like you might have been like Bill Paxiston in that movie.
19:49
I've been able to discover many things. But we're
19:51
an earring. He didn't ear piercing, remember exactly.
19:54
He did in a shaggy haircut, and they
19:56
cut a plot line where he fucked Susie
19:58
Amos, who became James Cameron's But
20:00
listen to stay tuned.
20:02
You're gonna have to stay tuned on that one, because
20:05
let's just say that we may not be done with Titanic
20:07
Fever, sir. Not Okay,
20:09
okay, next one, This next one
20:11
is an It's Will
20:14
Smith as a rap pop
20:17
star who could forget. But
20:19
you think there's a world
20:21
where he was a pop star. He was a popular
20:23
rap artist. I would go
20:26
so far as to say that his rap was
20:28
more pop music than it was like hard
20:31
rap music. Not that rap music has
20:33
to be hard, but obviously it got more play
20:36
on pop radio than it did probably
20:38
on urban radio. I don't know. I don't have those facts
20:40
and fingers in front of me. But I think, you
20:42
know, when someone like Will Smith is singing
20:45
songs like the Wild Wild West is singing
20:47
songs like Men in Black is singing songs
20:49
like with It, you know, I'm
20:51
thinking, this is someone who's appearing on pop radio
20:54
with a pop sensibility. And he did really
20:56
have an impact. He had a huge impact,
20:58
I would say. I remember, I
21:01
really did feel something. I never ended
21:03
up seeing the movie, but when the Wildlad
21:05
West trailer played on TV, I
21:08
was like, there's something so cool about
21:10
this and
21:13
and wait, this is a Stevie Wonder song, Like you
21:15
know, it just opened a lot of doors for me. Culturally.
21:17
Well, I'm telling you what you missed out
21:20
on was some iconic Salamahayak
21:22
culture because she is, of course the female
21:24
lead in that little film, and
21:27
there's great performances in it. It's a silly,
21:29
silly movie, and you do see a little Will Smith.
21:31
But in it, who
21:34
who could dispute that? Who could who who
21:36
could resist that? No one could
21:38
resist, especially at that time Will Smith was
21:40
a movie star and a music star, which gets lost
21:42
gets lost? And this is the moment in
21:45
culture that we wanted to sort of canonize
21:47
in the list right. I wouldn't say anything
21:49
else that he's done is worth mentioning
21:52
on this list. Just him as a rap slash pop
21:54
star, his musical remember, just the two
21:57
of us. Oh my god, get
21:59
out of here, two of us. We
22:02
can make it. Which iconic
22:06
culture speaking
22:08
of iconic musical culture, bowing this
22:10
one? Number one is the
22:13
boy is Mine? It
22:16
just it
22:19
still holds up in a way that is that Not
22:21
a lot of culture does that
22:23
opening that dialogue? I mean what
22:25
other songs have dialogue to
22:27
open them? I mean none like this.
22:30
What we get is a full scene with
22:32
the two young women, of course, I'm
22:34
speaking of Brandy and Monica. And
22:37
would we be able to do the dialogue right now? Absolutely?
22:40
Um? Okay, you're that's
22:44
how that's how we identify. Okay, go excuse
22:46
me. Can I please talk to you for a minute? Mm
22:49
hmm sure. You know you
22:51
look kind of familiar. Yeah you do too,
22:54
But um, I just wanted to know. I want to I want
22:56
to know, do you know somebody name? You
22:59
know his name? Oh? Yeah, definitely,
23:01
I know his name. Well, I just want to let you know that
23:03
he's mine. No,
23:05
no, he is mine. I have a question to ask
23:07
you where do you think they were
23:09
in that scene? What's the place? Because I
23:12
have a clear answer from the very first moment
23:14
I heard this as a child, I have a clear answer
23:16
of where they were. Okay, I'm
23:18
gonna say they're at a public pool.
23:20
Okay, that's cool. As
23:22
an I was in elementary school at the time, and so
23:25
for me, like the social hub in elementary
23:27
school is the cafeteria. Even though
23:29
so even though these were women in their late teen slash
23:31
early twenties UM
23:34
at the time of recording, I imagine them to be
23:36
in a cafeteria setting of some source. So you
23:38
did see them in sort of like a high school vibe.
23:40
I thought it was high school, but even like, more specifically
23:42
spatially, it was in the cafeteria of
23:45
my elementary school in Montreal at
23:47
the time. I get it. So I
23:49
think for me, I kind of I associate
23:51
this as being like a summer jam. Yes,
23:53
and I think I saw like a pool,
23:56
yeah, a pool because it was a summer
23:58
and also just like
24:01
them, sort of being at
24:03
a place where one could be with their group of friends
24:06
and another could be with their group of friends
24:08
and where does that happen? But
24:11
I haven't thought about it until this moment.
24:14
That's isn't an interesting question to ask. So ask
24:16
yourself, reader, where when
24:18
you first listen to The Boy's Mind? Where did you
24:20
think that Brandy and Monica were in the beginning?
24:23
And also, any any song,
24:25
any song that you hear, think, where
24:28
is this happening there? It's
24:30
it's actually a really culture number thirty. Any
24:32
song that you think,
24:36
where is this happening? Like on
24:38
the album Chromatica. We can imagine
24:40
that a lot of those songs are taking place on Chromatica.
24:43
Yes, but the geopolitical
24:46
thoughts around music I think are left out
24:48
of the conversation right exactly. And you know, speaking
24:50
of geopolitical thoughts, we
24:52
are going to move along to um
24:56
so so much so such
24:58
a mind went into the creation of this movie.
25:00
But we're not talking about the writing of the movie.
25:02
We're talking about a specific performance in the movie.
25:04
One four on our top two hundred
25:07
is Rooney Mara in
25:09
The Social Network. Now,
25:11
why is this culturally important? Bow she
25:14
is in that, the character of Erica in
25:16
The Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg's fictional
25:19
perhaps former girlfriend, is
25:21
in I want to say, three scenes in the
25:23
entire movie. But she makes an impact
25:25
I mean she sets up the flaw
25:28
of Mark Zuckerberg, which is that he is huboristic
25:31
and whatever only is concerned
25:33
about being cool, and she
25:35
delivers iconic lines such as because I watched
25:37
this movie the other night with my parents. It's on Netflix,
25:40
and they loved it. They were like, Mark Zuckerberg is like this. I was
25:42
like, yes, according to Erin's workin
25:44
but the line the
25:47
girls aren't going to not like you because you're a nerd.
25:49
They're not going to like you because and
25:51
then the Internet is not written in pencil.
25:54
I think it's written in ink. I mean,
25:57
she is really good at this, and
25:59
I would say it's a
26:01
tone setting for a fabulous
26:04
movie. And also it kind of
26:06
like did give birth to Rooney Mara David
26:09
Finch rom Use because then she
26:11
was famously she
26:13
was Lizabeth Salander and she was famously on The Girl with the
26:15
Dragon Tattoo, which got her an Oscar nomination, And would
26:18
she have done that had she not slaid so hard
26:20
in the social network? Also iconic
26:22
be you representation, and there's
26:24
not enough. There's not enough. We
26:27
don't see enough be you girls in film,
26:29
and that's real culture number nine. We
26:32
don't see enough girls
26:35
in film. We're going
26:37
so slow, we're we're
26:39
only seven things.
26:41
Then we're twenty seven bits. And Hans
26:43
Hans, our producer, said, heads up for twenty seven minutes.
26:46
And well, no one asked him. Let no one asked
26:48
him, No
26:50
one is he's doing
26:52
a little cute, little um sort of smiley
26:54
face with the tongue sticking out, but no one asked him
26:57
what rule culture number I mean, this is not rutal culture.
26:59
This is moment moment Number
27:01
one is who
27:07
wants to I won
27:09
five thousand dollars and Studie Green was my
27:11
phone, my phone a friend a plus
27:13
one because they got rid of phone a friend. It
27:15
was a very much not a lucrative
27:17
moment, but it wasn't entertaining moment. And
27:20
Chris Harrison shook her hand very hard.
27:22
Chris Harrison did a Trump shake on
27:24
my hand where he shook it and pulled me into
27:26
a certain dominance over me. And you
27:28
can find it online and I am not lying, And
27:30
okay, let's move on to number snatch
27:36
game perform. Wanted you to come
27:38
up and suck me in the ass sometime. I
27:40
think the undisputed best snatch game
27:42
performance ever followed very closely
27:45
by jinx is Little
27:47
Lady. Absolutely, I would. And
27:50
really what this does, This Alaska's May
27:52
West moment on the list really
27:54
represents all snatch games because
27:56
it is a moment of culture. It's a moment of culture.
27:58
So we're moving forward. Number one on
28:01
the list of top two moments in culture history.
28:03
It's the game tag
28:06
You know what you love it? You played it likely
28:08
with many girls. They made a movie
28:11
about it. Yes, And
28:13
it's the game of when you are running around and
28:15
you tag some with your hands and
28:17
they become quote it.
28:20
Yes, it's actually real culture. Number
28:22
four, when you are tagged,
28:25
you are, you become quote unquote.
28:28
It's let's just keep going.
28:30
Number one nine The Jaws
28:33
Ride opens at Universal
28:35
Studios. Now, this was an
28:37
iconic moment in my personal culture and I think
28:40
the culture of many, which was you could board
28:42
a ship in the Universal
28:44
Studios in Amity Arbor and
28:46
that ship would be repeatedly attacked by
28:48
the villainous shark Jaws.
28:50
And how it Jaws mete its demise It would
28:53
bite onto an electrocuted wire. Well,
28:56
yes, it would bite onto the electrocuted wire
28:58
and explode in flames. It would then arrived
29:00
at the surface of the water as a charred mess,
29:02
and then it launches at the boat one final time.
29:05
The skipper shoots a shotgun that it finally
29:07
dies, and um, that is
29:09
how you survived the Menace of Jaws.
29:12
And I can say here and now it no
29:14
longer exists, but for the one
29:17
in Japan. Yes,
29:19
but you've got to go out
29:21
there in Japan if you want to ride it. Otherwise I just can't
29:23
help you. We're going to go there some day very soon.
29:25
Once say,
29:34
okay, one is Mario?
29:38
Oh my god, who hasn't played this? Hasn't
29:40
played this one? You love it? You love
29:42
it? And who are you usually when you play? I'm
29:45
usually a peach in the old school games, But in the
29:47
New School games, I like to be a warrio. I like
29:49
to be a toad At, So you
29:51
like to be a warrior on a toad at. I am always
29:53
going to be misstowed. You love mistowed.
29:56
I love toad because I feel she was
29:58
moving around the fastest. I love the
30:00
kind of sounds she made, such as this, yeah,
30:04
like I thought that that was so enthusiastic,
30:07
And I loved her her freedom. I
30:09
don't know why I'm calling could tote a female.
30:11
I don't think totally has a job miss gender
30:13
to tote is mail. You feel this one
30:15
tote is Mail. There is a famously trans character
30:18
in the Mario cannon, which is Burdo. Who
30:20
is Burdo? I would I would say, I should say Birdo is trans.
30:23
That's a real thing. Yes, she's she
30:25
was assigned Mail at birth. And
30:28
in the lore of the second Mario, like
30:30
the whole thing was bird like back
30:32
then. And this is like the rough Japanese translation,
30:34
but it was Burdo thinks he's a girl.
30:37
But then like Mario, Nintendo have like
30:39
sort of grown along with the time socially
30:41
and they're like, no, Burdo's trans is that serious?
30:44
Serious? Look it up, like, oh my god, I love that.
30:46
Moving on to one hundred, number one hundred.
30:49
It's
30:51
Vegas residence really made
30:54
being in Vegas what it is, and
30:56
she kept it for so long. She kept it going for something.
30:58
It was the double e thing to
31:00
do with your mother and when you were in Vegas.
31:03
Absolutely, and you know she's also kept
31:05
those vocals up. We can see her with that
31:07
mask on, that sort of saline mask with iconic
31:10
culture. Is that image and we have to
31:12
think Renee. We have to think Renee.
31:15
We can't really get into how it's
31:19
a little probb. It feels a little predatory
31:21
to me that Renee, you know, went after Selene,
31:24
you went there. You really we have to it's
31:27
we got to talk about these things. We love.
31:29
We love it. Selene loved him. Um,
31:32
but you know, we've got a question Renee's motives.
31:34
That's certainly an odd relationship,
31:36
but one that did stand the test of time and
31:39
um, she was with him until his dying day.
31:41
And you know, Selene, we thank you for
31:44
your incredible talent, the way you touch of the world.
31:47
And we remember Renee,
31:49
even though we have questions
31:51
about the genesis of the relationship. But that's
31:53
really none of our business, is it. French
31:56
Canadian queen, French Canadian queen. We just bring
31:58
it up. Um, We're just
32:00
bring it up. We bring it up, and
32:02
that's our roles to bring it up. Now,
32:04
bowen. One number Nadia
32:09
achieving a perfect ten
32:11
and gymnastics had never been done before,
32:14
and then she did it so many times at that Olympics.
32:16
You know she received over six top
32:19
ten score ten perfect tense. You know this
32:21
off the top of your head, I looked it up actually
32:23
today because I was thinking
32:26
about putting it on the list, and then I saw that you had
32:28
already added it, and I thought, Okay, we are simpatico
32:30
because I also just recently watched the documentary
32:33
athlete A on Netflix,
32:35
which is a startling
32:37
watch but I think an important watch,
32:40
and they talked about how Nadia was
32:43
like the prototype for
32:45
that young, young, young
32:47
girl that they created
32:50
into like an Olympics monster the
32:53
world over, because China's fucked
32:55
up with no completely fucked
32:57
and I mean the fact of the
32:59
matter is like we have to have a serious looked
33:01
at the way we are sort
33:04
of grooming these young
33:06
girls to be these these machine
33:08
athletes, because oh,
33:11
we see that in the US it kind of got a little
33:13
out of control. And by a little control, I mean a
33:15
lot out of control. The doctor was a sexual
33:17
predator. So, oh my god. But
33:20
was it an achievement that Nadia's got those tens?
33:22
Yes, when it was a moment in culture.
33:25
Let's go to one A six, what is this shell?
33:29
The shining Wow, we all remember
33:31
her running about that house with the knife.
33:33
I mean the screams, the most iconic screaming film
33:35
history. Oh, can you do it?
33:40
It's pretty good. Sorry,
33:42
Oh my god. Literally our engineer Dug
33:44
I know, his head absolutely exploded
33:47
on that one. But she was giving you and Stanley
33:49
Kubrick was I mean psychologically
33:51
torturing this poor woman. Impact
33:54
on her because Mr Vall, we hope she's doing
33:57
well now, but you know, things took a turn. I'm
34:01
those were the glory days of Shelley. But now like
34:03
she's like she was in an interview like a few
34:05
years ago, just like she's
34:07
in a bad way. She um
34:10
you know. I I think we got an
34:12
amazing performance out of her, But at what
34:14
cost? At what cost did great
34:16
culture? Let's keep going, Okay, So number
34:18
one eighty five is the
34:21
name Amanda Culture.
34:24
So there are so many millions
34:26
of women across America are named Amanda.
34:29
And this is a name that, you know, very
34:31
similar to the name Chris. I
34:33
think with men, Amanda has really taken over.
34:36
And Amanda has absolutely revolutionized
34:38
the Hollywood industry because
34:40
every publicist was named Amanda. Yes,
34:43
many managers and agents named Amanda, and
34:45
some talent named Amanda. Some talent
34:48
is named Amanda. I would say that
34:50
Amanda made a huge impact on the culture.
34:52
But not even just in showbiz. Let's not limited to show biz.
34:54
No, I would say in classroom, in elementary school,
34:57
classrooms, everywhere where, there were at least four Amanda's
34:59
in every class. Amanda. Really
35:01
when we were growing up, it really took the world by storm.
35:03
From the years nineteen eight seven to nine two,
35:06
they were approximately a billion Amanda's.
35:09
A billion Amanda's who are now in
35:11
positions of middle management and even executive
35:14
leadership. And you cannot dispute
35:16
Amanda, but you know, we don't forget the Amandas
35:18
that have been left behind, you know. And
35:20
and some Amanda's um they
35:22
feel that they must shorten their
35:25
name to Mandy, and we're thinking
35:27
of them. We're thinking of them, and we are
35:29
not going to tell you what to do either way. But you know, just
35:31
to go back to your roots. You're an Amanda. You have
35:33
our support. Number one hundred eighty four
35:35
on our top two hundred list. Dakota
35:37
Fanning sets a child actress
35:40
precedent, and it's eaten by
35:42
her own sister l Who
35:44
could forget when Dakota Fanning really
35:46
set the tone for child actresses and then was eaten
35:48
by her own sister l Fanna Yeah, what do you think
35:51
was the last great
35:53
Dakota Fanning work. I want to say it's Uptown Girls.
35:55
I was gonna say it's Uptown Girls and World
35:57
War World World, World War of the
35:59
World. Where are the roles she was? I
36:01
mean, excellent. If you can hold your own
36:03
opposite Tom Cruise, Oh my
36:06
god, you're really something. You are a real
36:08
talent if you can hold your own off against that crazy
36:11
man. But let's not forget. I mean, once
36:13
upon a time in Hollywood she played. I
36:17
didn't see this. She's phenomenal. Well,
36:19
she's an incredible talent. She's an incredible talent,
36:22
and you know that she consistently works in television.
36:24
Now on that show with um with Evans,
36:27
I watched this show. Who is like fully gay?
36:29
By the way, I didn't realize that. Oh my god.
36:31
No, he's like literally the hottest and he's
36:34
very gay on his Instagram And he said this
36:36
thing on Pride where he posed his boyfriend,
36:38
and I didn't realize he had come out. And then I realized
36:40
maybe he never did, which I love, which,
36:43
oh god, he didn't have to publicize it too much.
36:45
Oh, here we go. Someone wrote the
36:48
alienist Angel of Darkness so
36:51
what we've got here is Hans
36:53
has come in and a huge bold made
36:55
us know that the series
36:57
that's a coded Fanning is in is called the Alienist.
37:00
But we of course remember her best from her incredible
37:02
form performances in Uptown
37:04
Girls. I Am Sam, I Am
37:06
Sam. Member of that movie.
37:08
She did this scary movie with Robert de Niro,
37:11
Hide and Seek, that was shocking,
37:14
shocking. Wait, we have to talk about L. We're
37:16
ignoring the l of it all and she completely
37:18
ate her own sister. I mean L came
37:20
in and was in Maleficent one end two.
37:23
L was coming in as a child actress, and she was more of a
37:25
teen like now
37:28
she's in the Great getting amazing notices,
37:31
but like Super eight into into
37:35
Um. She was a kid in super She was
37:37
a kid in super Ate at that UM that that movie, that Sofia
37:40
couple of movie. She
37:43
was incredible and the Begot very funny, very
37:45
funny. In the Beguild. She's really come
37:47
out and also twenty century women don't
37:49
forget women. She's so good. She's
37:51
got the damn resume and Dakota used
37:53
to have the resume. But that's what happens when you said a precedent
37:56
is your own sister might eat you. But we're saying
37:58
that Dakota is still very much
38:00
established and working on very good projects.
38:02
She is a gold standard. She's just not sort
38:04
of um. She couldn't have stayed a child forever.
38:07
Yeah, I mean, well, you know, I hope that she comes
38:09
back with an adult role. Yes, okay,
38:14
So when number one is the Real
38:16
House of Pa.
38:19
You've got Karen, You've got Hug,
38:22
You've got Giselle. Oh
38:26
oh, We've got an amazing cast, and also real
38:29
drama, real steaks, and
38:31
honestly, the other franchises need to take a page
38:33
out of the Potomac book. Scale it back,
38:36
get human drama, real drama, and
38:38
honestly, we need a full reboot
38:40
of these other franchises. And I'm not
38:42
afraid to say it on this podcast. Nothing
38:45
is doing what Potomac is doing, and for that
38:47
it gets listed on our Number
38:51
three on top two hundred moments
38:53
of culture history is
38:55
the is the cocktail hitting you? Yes?
38:58
Number one two is Rosie
39:01
Perez dancing
39:04
the right on this specifically
39:07
in the opening credits, to do the right thing. Obviously a huge
39:09
movie seminal movie one of Spike Lee's best
39:11
works. But Rosie Perez Dancing
39:13
to Fight the Power Um huge.
39:16
I mean what a huge moments, sexual, powerful,
39:18
political, all at once. And you couldn't
39:21
have had it with anyone else but Mrs Rosie
39:23
Perez, who went on to do great things and she
39:25
was an Oscar nominee for the film Fearless and
39:27
we respect. Number one eight
39:30
one is Adam Lambert
39:32
and Clay a a K. Lambert
39:35
and claymate culture a
39:38
k a. Middle aged women
39:40
love. I think enough has been
39:42
said about that, and we speak for
39:44
itself. Number one Jane
39:48
Workouts because she's
39:50
most commonly I think known as an actress
39:53
and an activist, but we know her primarily
39:56
as a bund of steel queen, a
39:58
woman in five acts, a woman with
40:01
buns of steel. Oh please, revolutionizing
40:06
the way white women got
40:08
their skinny little tight booties.
40:11
Yes, and it was a revolution.
40:14
It was not televised,
40:16
but on tape. Oh, the revolution
40:18
will be on tape. It's actually a real culture. Number two
40:20
hundred, The revolution will
40:22
be on tape if Jan
40:24
Fonda had anything to
40:27
say about it is
40:29
the second half of Gone
40:32
Girl, the book Girl,
40:34
When You, When You, when that twist hit you, that
40:36
she was still alive. Spoiler alert, I've
40:39
never had more fun while the cool girl monologue,
40:42
Oh that was writing. Thank
40:44
you, Gillian flanned you served
40:46
it up on that one. Thank you, and
40:50
and Viv getting recast
40:53
on Fresh Friends. Now, why did this
40:55
happen? And why is it important that we comment on
40:57
it? And you know there's no time
41:00
we're gonna move on to one hundred seventy
41:02
seven, number one seventies seven
41:05
Emily Blond take out
41:07
work. And this
41:10
was Emily Blonde absolutely entering
41:12
the main stage and you were
41:14
like, who is this woman? Is she really British because she's
41:16
laying on this accent and thick But then you find out, oh, she
41:19
really is British. But the moments in
41:21
that movie I love my job, I love my job,
41:23
I joined job. And also you
41:25
can never forget only one stomach flew
41:27
away from my goal weight. I
41:30
have patrick amazing,
41:32
unbelievable. I mean, listen, Emily
41:35
Blonde. We have her today because of her
41:37
Golden Globe nominated work of the Divorce
41:39
Product and we hashtag stam
41:42
to wait before we move on. Remember when her
41:44
and Anne Hathaway president of the Oscars for
41:46
Mayor all that year and it was a whole bit and it was
41:48
like funnier than any
41:51
you know, any
41:53
comedy, any comedy I've ever seen. It was funnier
41:55
than any comedy I've ever seen. In Emily Blond, I'll never forget
41:57
when she when she snaps her fingers
42:00
like you tell Anne Hath
42:02
the way to go into the room. So good,
42:04
so good, so good. So
42:06
speaking of the ladies
42:08
who are high fashion, we
42:10
have number one hundred seventy six Rihanna
42:14
at Wow
42:16
the met Ball Gala. Bowen Yanga
42:19
is feeling has Red Bull Vodka. Now,
42:21
what are some incredible looks of Rihanna at
42:23
the Mecca. I'm of course always
42:25
remembering her yellow moment
42:28
with that huge circular train. Oh
42:30
my god. We always remember the
42:32
Pope outfit, papal
42:34
paple um, the Catholic imagination
42:37
theme. Of course, we remember so
42:40
much Rihanna. She is the number
42:42
one met Galla moment. She is the staple.
42:45
And remember she is out there,
42:47
you know, not necessarily making music, but she has
42:49
pivoted to fashion in a way that is controversial,
42:52
but we respect. I'm for it. I'm all for it.
42:54
I'm for it. Okay. So one hundred seventy
42:56
five, every time Kenny
42:59
died on Park and they
43:01
say, oh my god, you
43:03
killed bastard, you
43:06
bastard. It was really Cartmon who said you
43:08
can. And remember when every
43:10
kid in elementary school was doing their Cartman
43:12
voice. I remember this so so so vividly.
43:15
And I remember moving from Montreal
43:17
to Colorado and then all the kids in the third grade
43:19
being like, well, you're moving to where they
43:21
where they do South Park, That's where
43:23
South Park is. And I was like, that actually
43:26
gave me a lot of cool capital right as I was leaving.
43:28
And so there we go. That's local culture. And now
43:30
one seventy four is the
43:33
Big Bang to
43:36
be the beginning of our universe is
43:39
the Big Bang, which was a huge
43:41
I don't how did it happen. Um,
43:44
I think it happened like one Adam,
43:47
you know, kind of got sucked up and then started
43:50
the whole and then and then the universe started
43:52
to expand. Well thank god, well,
43:54
thank god, I mean you really can't.
43:57
Yeah, we have the Big Bang to thank for all of
43:59
the us. We really do, wouldn't
44:02
you say, I mean, we would not be sitting here
44:04
without the Big Bang. And so I definitely pour out
44:06
some respect to ha Alright,
44:09
so this is one seventy three. This is
44:11
Kate Notes
44:13
on a scandal saying you
44:16
want to bar I
44:19
just think a screenplay that we remember.
44:21
Yes, Number one seventy two is
44:24
claymation technology. Claymation
44:26
technology. Now this is the act
44:29
of sort of making little clay figures
44:32
and sort of making them move.
44:34
And then we get amazing things like Chicken
44:37
Run. Like Chicken Run darring mel Gibson.
44:39
We get I forgot that he was in that,
44:41
and he was just dropped from the Chicken Run sequel
44:44
for all of his resurfaced
44:46
anti semitic and when he was just dropped
44:48
from the Chicken Run sequel, part of the news
44:50
that kind of maybe got lost in the mel Gibson
44:53
news cycle of it all after Winona writer decided
44:55
to speak out again, thankfully, is
44:57
that they were good at DreamWorks.
44:59
Was I think going to do another Chicken Run with mel
45:01
Gibson attached, like some twenty
45:03
years later? But it's like, we don't have
45:06
we can't have mel Gibson in movies anymore. I
45:08
don't think we can have mel Gibson and film anymore.
45:11
Technology stands as the number one seventy two,
45:13
but we're happy we have claimation. Of course, Rudolph,
45:15
Rudolph, I
45:17
think I think it qualifies. Okay,
45:20
So number one hundred seventy one
45:22
is Nicole's Pitman's
45:24
American accent as
45:26
seen in Big Little Lies, as seen in many films,
45:29
are American accent is very American.
45:32
I would say it's very Australian. Wow,
45:34
I would say it's very Australian learning American.
45:37
There you go, and that's the perfect middle grounds. And one hundred
45:40
seventy is American
45:43
accent. Yes, of course it's very stressed.
45:46
You know. You can hear this in you know such
45:48
films as Revolutionary Road six, films
45:50
as Steve Jobs, and you know Titanic
45:52
which stay tuned, stay tuned, actually know Steve Jobs.
45:55
She played, like, ah,
45:57
yes, yes, I don't know why I said Steve Jobs.
45:59
There were some interesting accent work going
46:01
on in there, and that Oscar nominated performance.
46:04
Of course, one hundred sixty nine on our list
46:06
is American
46:09
accent. You're so infuriating.
46:14
I can't even come up with the line.
46:18
I think women have lives.
46:20
I don't even know what the full line. She definitely
46:23
is American in those
46:25
films. Outside of the films,
46:28
she's decidedly not. And we see that
46:30
sort of dialogue between Sarsha, between
46:32
Nicole, between Kate, but for none,
46:35
for none of them, do I think? I
46:37
don't think the accident work takes away from the performance
46:39
exactly. And you know what three talents, three
46:42
huge white women talents.
46:44
Yeah, and so speaking of talents and white
46:46
women, number one is
46:50
Christine Apple and
46:52
all of her many projects.
46:56
Can you speak to some of these projects that Christine
46:58
Applegate has been involved, you know, as someone who's still hasn't
47:00
seemed dead to me, I still appreciate this.
47:02
Hold on, let me say, married with Children
47:05
huge, Yes, yes, Anchor man
47:07
Legend, Ron Burgundy, come on, iconic,
47:09
And Samantha be Samantha
47:13
Samantha not Samantha
47:15
b Smanthody is famously someone else. We
47:17
also have um the incredible
47:19
bad Moms, Bad Moms,
47:22
Oh my god, who could forget just and
47:24
honestly, if no one has seen dead to me out there,
47:27
and some have, it's not like no one has
47:29
seen it, but you have to check it out. Dead
47:31
to me is culture, and of course
47:33
also culture is Linda Cardalini, who unfortunately
47:35
did not but
47:38
we do shout her out on sixty seven
47:40
Christmas, Well, could
47:43
you even have culture without Christmas? I don't think you could
47:45
have culture without Christmas. For Christmas to have its own
47:48
genre of music, it might
47:50
as well be country. You know, Oh, it
47:52
might as well be country. It's actually a rule of culture
47:54
number fifty. Christmas might
47:56
as well. My
47:59
country is not on the left, it's not on
48:01
the last country. Music did not make it, did
48:03
not make it, but Christmas as a season,
48:05
as a holiday, as a vibe, definitely made
48:07
it. Because you know, what affects so many people
48:10
in terms of you know, and I hate to say it, but the
48:12
capitalist sort of machines.
48:15
Yes, you know, it's like saying like,
48:17
you can't you can't be like I
48:19
don't see color in a racist society, even
48:21
though it's a social construct. Capitalism is a social
48:23
construct. You can't say I don't believe in money,
48:26
um, but you can and you can't say I don't believe
48:28
in Christmas because we live in a Christmas culture.
48:30
We live actually in a Christmas culture. And actually,
48:33
if you really think about how many months out of the year
48:35
Christmas decides it's optimal
48:37
culture, it's really crazy.
48:39
And we need to be talking about it, and I say, where's that
48:45
is when the French judge
48:48
was not fair towards the Canadian
48:51
skaters. You remember this, I actually
48:54
don't. And you put this on the list tonight. Oh
48:56
my god. This is when the Canadians
48:58
doubles figures skaters were absolutely
49:01
incredible when they go this
49:03
is years ago and there was
49:05
doubles figure skating and the Russian
49:07
couple beat them, even though the Canadian
49:10
figure skaters are absolutely slate it. And
49:12
then you found out it came out that the
49:14
French judge had a biased vote
49:16
and it was a little bit of a fix going in, so they gave them
49:18
co gold medals. Oh
49:20
my god, I can't believe you of Canadian
49:23
culture don't remember when the Canadian figure skaters
49:25
got the shop. Why isn't there a movie optioned
49:27
about that? Well, we should write it.
49:29
And that's the thing is like, when there's not a movie
49:32
of things you have you have tote it.
49:34
And that's a rule culture number seventeen. When
49:37
there's not a movie of things,
49:40
you have to write them.
49:43
Let's move on to skills
49:48
conversations debate.
49:51
I mean it's a tales all the time, people debating
49:53
what's better Eminem's for skittles? Where
49:55
do you stand? I stand firmly
49:58
on the side of my eminem
50:00
sisters. Okay, what
50:03
do you say as someone who
50:05
enjoys sweets and
50:07
sugary sweets over chocolate. I'm
50:09
a Skittles girl, and I love skittles
50:12
and I always will the beginning of a
50:14
new conflict between us. The beginning
50:17
let's move on to this is Jonas
50:21
inventing the polio vaccine
50:23
Gone Fish. Tell us about Miss sal Miss
50:26
Salk was successful in
50:28
the concept of noculating
50:30
your immune system with a weaker version
50:32
of a virus such as polio,
50:35
such as coronavirus. And
50:37
this is gonna be a thing that sort of lifts as all,
50:40
hopefully out of the current squalor
50:42
that we're in. I mean, you know, let's
50:45
not get too used to this, yep. Where
50:47
the goal is to get out of this situation
50:50
with the help of multiple vaccines,
50:52
several of them in phase three trials at
50:54
the moment of this recording in
50:56
late June. And you know,
50:59
we will not achieve herd immunity if we don't if
51:01
if, if enough people do not get vaccinated.
51:04
So let's we have to beat back this tide of the anti
51:06
vax movement and make sure that everyone gets
51:09
equitable access to
51:11
a vaccine once it is invented. Number
51:13
one sixty three is big
51:15
Old Meg the
51:18
Stallion absolutely burst onto
51:20
the scene Hot Girl Summer, indeed
51:22
Hot Girl Lifetime, more like how Girl
51:24
Lifetime. We're like, we would not have Hot Girl Summer, we would
51:26
not have none fast Ship or
51:28
the Savage Dream Mix or um
51:31
Her Girls. I mean this was this was to
51:33
me the single that's that launched Megan's career
51:35
because I would agree And this is the first one you turned
51:37
to my attention, and I knew that you were serious about
51:39
it because of the way you squealed, and
51:43
you are a squiller for Megan and I am too. Can
51:45
you can you just tell the listeners that I was
51:48
in on the ground floor with Megan. I will I
51:50
can confirm to the listeners. Boon Yang was one of
51:52
the first to even be speaking
51:54
about Megan v. Stallion in the
51:56
way that we all are. You know, I'm
51:58
just saying like you need to respect
52:01
just like we need to respect. Number one sixty
52:03
two Joe Millionaire.
52:06
This, of course, was the reality show where several
52:09
contestants thought that the
52:11
suitor they were competing for was a millionaire
52:14
named Joe Millionaire. His name
52:16
I think was actually Evan. It was revealed
52:18
to the ladies that, um, he actually
52:20
was not a millionaire after all. He was like a simple farm
52:22
person and the woman
52:25
he picked, Zora, had to deal with that and they
52:27
did not make it. They did not make it,
52:29
but there was a lot of tension in that final episode because the Door
52:31
first said no, rejected
52:33
the proposal, and then said she came back and said
52:36
yes. I think probably because she was trapped
52:38
in a situation and coerced
52:40
by producers. I'd be very curious to see how
52:42
the Doors doing now. Unfortunately we won't
52:45
have that answer in this episode, but perhaps
52:47
in a future installment. Number
52:49
one sixty one is art
52:51
Pop. I mean an
52:53
amazing album, I think, ahead
52:55
of its time, ahead of its time. As our friend Sam Taggart
52:57
has written about in Vulture, it is her
53:00
Pinkerton. It is the album that was released
53:02
to critical panning, and
53:05
then over time has developed
53:07
a nice petina and we've all sort of we listened
53:09
back to it and this is actually genius. Applause
53:11
is amazing. We
53:13
were too hard on it. Donna Tella is
53:15
incredible. G u Y watched
53:18
the video again. It's the last time Kyle Richards
53:20
and Lisavanner pop were able to be in the same place,
53:22
and um, do what you Want
53:24
unfortunately a great song, but we have the Christina
53:27
Aguilera version, Yes we Do, which is a definitive
53:29
version which I believe is superior. And also never
53:32
forget the ballad Dope Dope,
53:34
Oh No. I like she performed indentures
53:37
that the YouTube music Festidium and
53:42
number one sixty is another song. It's called
53:45
this song Somewhere Over
53:49
This famously appeared in the film Wizard of Oz
53:52
and went on to have a quiet and impact on the
53:54
culture. It's you know, we
53:56
we we get to graft a lot of queer meaning
53:58
onto the song. Now, um, you
54:00
know the song also in terms of the filmic
54:02
narrative aspect of it, you know, sets
54:04
up Dorothy's want and it's
54:06
beautiful. It's sort of gets us
54:08
into Act two of the movie, which is when she lands in Oz
54:11
when she said it's a favorite of American
54:13
Idol contestants Kimberly Locker
54:16
and I'm so happy that when we talk about Somewhere
54:18
over the Rainbow, we also say the name Kimberly
54:21
lock Um number
54:23
one. Kelly Rowland
54:26
saying she's the second lead vocalist
54:28
of the group. Huge,
54:31
I mean when she proclaimed that she was the second lead vocalist
54:34
of the group and she earned that look from Beyonce. This
54:36
is a YouTube video that you can all look up. Just type
54:38
in Kelly Rowland second lead vocalist other
54:40
group. You will not be upset that you did.
54:43
Kelly Roland invented a sort of
54:46
role in groups and
54:48
musical groups, called the second lead vocalist of the
54:50
group. Even though the term lead vocalist would imply
54:52
that there's only one second lead
54:54
vocalist means would would would require
54:57
us to believe there are two lead vocalists
54:59
and one is sort of Maine and one a second.
55:01
And honestly, she did correctly label herself
55:04
she was the second LEO and this
55:06
was didn't she say this during the first generation
55:08
of Destiny's Child? She said it when
55:10
there were still four when there was four, so in a
55:12
way you can be like if it was just
55:14
her, Michelle and Beyonce, and
55:16
she was like, I'm the second lea focus of the group. That's a huge fu
55:19
you to Michelle, But what she's saying it when
55:21
there's four, that's a funk you to LaTavia
55:23
LaToya. Yes, obviously,
55:25
I mean she didn't mean any harm. But at
55:27
that point, could she have done anything correctly? Probably
55:30
not. Probably was held to be Kelly Rowland. Number
55:32
one is USA
55:36
South Carolina answer
55:39
to her debate question, Um,
55:41
I forget what it was. It was about textbooks
55:44
or something. Well, she definitely mentioned
55:46
textbooks and how there needs to be more education in schools,
55:49
but please look up on YouTube miss
55:51
team USA South Carolina to answer
55:53
epically bad. Yes,
55:56
you all know what. You all love it, don't you. We've
55:58
got to move on because this is almost an hour
56:00
in and we are nowhere near getting
56:02
to the top love the list. So
56:04
Number one hard for these seven is share
56:07
disappearance on Will and Grace.
56:09
What chemistry with Sean Hayes. She has chemistry
56:12
with Sean Grace. You know that was thirty
56:15
minutes of work door
56:18
to door and she was incredible
56:20
And that was that was famously where we developed
56:22
a vocabulary around a good term
56:25
term and also she said snap
56:27
out of it and earned a check. Number
56:29
one is Simon and Randy.
56:33
Remember these three, these were
56:35
the three in a lot of ways the original three yes,
56:38
and they are really the three
56:41
yes. Now going forward, we
56:43
have one when
56:45
Keen and ll did the
56:47
orange tell
56:50
us why it's so important? Well, this was
56:52
so good because it was a reliable
56:54
bit in the show Keenan and Kelly that
56:57
happened I think every episode, I
56:59
think was every episode then very close
57:02
to and really what Kel was asking
57:04
was who loves orange soda? And
57:07
by the time the bit was over, you knew
57:09
what the answer was, Kell, Kell loves
57:12
soda? Is it true? He do?
57:14
He? Do? He? Do you? And
57:16
this actually really did enforce
57:19
upon us in a young communic age that
57:21
really comedy is commitment and
57:24
its repetition. It's commitment,
57:26
it's repetition, it's volume,
57:28
volume, and it's saying things in a
57:30
voice. And we should just say that keenan
57:33
Kel are sketch comedy legends and
57:35
icons. They are the legendary
57:37
to the legendary too. Let's keep going.
57:39
Speaking of legendary too, Number
57:41
one is Mr
57:45
and Mrs Smith. Oh they met on
57:47
the side of that film. And boy, let me tell you it
57:49
was caputz for Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anison
57:52
at that point because brand Jelina
57:54
stepped out to the scene and they were the power couple
57:56
for a little while there. Don't you love that
57:58
this huge Hollywood are a couple of ment on the set
58:01
of a fine movie. I
58:03
think it's a good movie, and I think if you saw
58:05
it again you would actually agree with
58:07
me. And it is hashtag
58:10
and early Carrie Washington vehicle. You're
58:12
right, it's an early Carry Washington vehicle. If you
58:14
look up any sort of screenwriting, like
58:16
treatment examples Mr and Mrs Smith. For some
58:19
reason, the treatment is available and everyone
58:21
sort of gets to read that and model their treatments
58:23
in their outlines. Number one of the
58:25
three is the great book,
58:29
not the movie. The book. The
58:31
book. This is a very important
58:34
book. If you're in high school, you probably read
58:36
it. Yes, you're in high school. You don't need to
58:38
see the movie. No one needs to see the movie. It's not Bosslerman's
58:41
finest work. I don't think that would be Mulan Rouge.
58:43
I would say that would be Mulan Rouge. I
58:45
think the book is great. I think
58:47
the book is short. It's you can read it in
58:50
one night when sitting. Um.
58:52
We love that cover with the eyes, Oh,
58:54
the cover with the eyes. Now one fifty
58:57
two is Jamila Jamal's
58:59
multiple slash con conflicting
59:02
stories about chased
59:05
by bees. Now, can you elaborate
59:07
on this? She has multiple accounts where
59:09
she talks about the kind
59:13
of very uh
59:15
distressing experience of being chased
59:17
by bees out onto a street
59:20
with moving cars.
59:22
The setting is vary from
59:24
um like temporally and um
59:27
geographically that she was in England and she
59:29
was young and teenager, or that she was or
59:32
that this happened two weeks ago outside
59:34
the u N when the Pakistani delegation
59:36
was visiting, or or something like that. I mean, there's just
59:38
a lot of stories of
59:40
Jamie and jamil firsthand accounts of her being
59:43
chased by bees onto a street, and you
59:45
know, it's I think it's iconic culture. I think it's moving the
59:47
culture forward. We get to sort of talk about
59:49
bees and their place in
59:52
our celebrities lives. Well, yeah,
59:54
I would agree, but I also I'm concerned for
59:56
her, and I wish that Jamilla would stay inside.
59:58
You know, I'm concerned for her if every time she leaves
1:00:01
her home that she has a be encounter. I
1:00:03
hope that she finds a way, you know, to really
1:00:05
do a lot of work from inside. I bet quarantine has actually
1:00:07
been kind of good for her because you can sort of sit at
1:00:09
the computer and not worry about bees, unless
1:00:12
you know they're so obtested with her that they're making
1:00:14
a weight into her home, which I really hope is
1:00:16
not the case. And we're wishing, wishing
1:00:18
the best for your Jamilia, and we're thinking of we love you, Jamila,
1:00:20
And this is number is speaking
1:00:25
of bees. Honeys keep Jamila,
1:00:27
You're not gonna want to eat any honey cheos
1:00:30
because these are famously honey
1:00:32
nuts cherios. I mean their cheerios
1:00:34
that are covered in honey nut.
1:00:38
What do you think honey nut is um? I
1:00:41
think it's when bees come. Now we're
1:00:43
going to move on to one D fifty Witches.
1:00:45
Natalie and Meals relationship
1:00:49
in Black Swan. Wow,
1:00:51
who could forget the film Black Swan and the relationship
1:00:54
they're in between Natalie and Milia.
1:00:56
Natalie really kind of playing the role of the white
1:00:58
swan here and then mel playing the role of the
1:01:00
titular black Swan, and the question
1:01:03
loving in the air, will Natalie have what it
1:01:05
takes to sort of become the black Swan and
1:01:07
what does that mean for Mela. Now,
1:01:09
do you think Mila is dead by
1:01:11
the end of the movie. I would say
1:01:14
that she's a lie. Natalie
1:01:16
has sort of envisioned
1:01:19
the Black Swan and
1:01:22
the Mila that comes to her later on
1:01:24
in the movie spoiler alert, who she stabs
1:01:26
and puts in the closet. Do
1:01:29
you remember this part? No, because you remember at the end of
1:01:31
the movie, Mila appears and it's
1:01:34
we're to assume as the audience that Mila
1:01:37
was never really there antagonizing Natalie was
1:01:39
all in her head. But Natalie is
1:01:42
definitively dead by the end of the movie.
1:01:44
I would say, I think that's what the director,
1:01:46
Darren Aronofsky and Natalie would
1:01:49
want to get across. But you know it's open to
1:01:51
insterpretation, like a lot of film. And you know, all
1:01:53
of our readers watch Black Swan and let us know
1:01:55
what you think about the ending we want to hear. Let's
1:02:05
move on to one nine, which is Michelle
1:02:08
Kwan never winning
1:02:10
gold medal. No, she never
1:02:13
was that gold medalist. She's the Amy Adams
1:02:15
glen Close of the Olympic, Susan
1:02:17
Lucci of the Olympics. Well, you know, Susan Luci
1:02:19
ended up winning her at me. Then you can't even say
1:02:21
she's this. You can't even say, like Jackie Cox
1:02:23
can't even say she's the Susan Lucci of drag
1:02:26
No. So so Michelle,
1:02:28
you know, we all thought Salt Lake City was her year, and
1:02:30
it wasn't. It really was
1:02:32
that. The fact that was Sarah Hughes is year. We
1:02:38
end You're the Serra Hughes and I'm the Michelle
1:02:40
Kwan of podcasting. Yeah yeah,
1:02:42
I guess that makes me a gold medal winner while you're
1:02:44
just in squaw absolutely with my with
1:02:47
my Mani Silvers. This is she endorsed
1:02:49
Biden too early. Alright,
1:02:52
So number one hundred eight is
1:02:55
Meryl Streets acting.
1:02:58
She is an amazing act I think
1:03:00
she's one of the better actors. I think that she's
1:03:02
up there amongst the best actors that we have. What's her
1:03:04
favorite Meryl Street performance? I got to
1:03:06
say, I love Meryl Streep in The
1:03:10
Iron Lady, and
1:03:13
she won an Oscar for it, you know, and it deserved
1:03:15
Oscar and it wasn't at all batty or
1:03:19
it wasn't. It was one of my favorite films.
1:03:21
One of those dynamic films I've ever seen is the Iron
1:03:23
Lady, the most exciting films
1:03:25
where so much happens and you get to see such a
1:03:27
thrilling portrayal of dementia. That's
1:03:30
amazing. I don't know mine. Um
1:03:32
Okay, So one is
1:03:35
the upside Down in
1:03:37
the Rain and Spider Man.
1:03:40
Wow, remember this, it was happening in the rain.
1:03:43
It was upside down. Kirsten Dunch told me,
1:03:45
why are with a secret? Good body? She was writing
1:03:47
that like tank Top, you can see her in n applause. They
1:03:50
were absolutely just two people in love
1:03:53
and they were really dating, kissing in an
1:03:55
alleyway. Yeah, and you know has
1:03:58
come out and said that it was actually was very hard too because
1:04:00
the water kept going up his nose. Hashtag
1:04:02
comedic moment. Hashtag comedic moment.
1:04:05
Oh my gosh. And that's such a fun
1:04:07
moment. Okay. So, so the next two
1:04:10
moments in history are a tie. It's a tie,
1:04:12
so tied for one and one
1:04:15
six are Michelle Yo
1:04:18
in Crazy Rich Asians
1:04:21
crowding Tiger in a Dragon.
1:04:24
I guess we should just talk about MICHELLEO as a whole
1:04:26
because these two performances are very
1:04:28
different, very different, very dynamic, and
1:04:31
we have to we have to remind the reader
1:04:34
in case they don't know already that
1:04:36
we met her one time. We met her when she was
1:04:38
doing press first Star Trek when we were interviewing
1:04:40
her at Vulture Fest, and she was very
1:04:43
cool, very cool, and she had a lot of
1:04:45
reverence from her castmates, and we and
1:04:48
I even slept in a quick thing. And this was before
1:04:50
Crazy Rotations came out. But I was like, I'm so excited for
1:04:52
Crazy rot Asians. I like, I kind of crossed the
1:04:54
boundary and I feel weird about it. I don't feel
1:04:56
you did, but I was like, I was like, it's all
1:04:58
I said was it's very inspiring to me. And I looked during
1:05:00
her eye and she and she her facial
1:05:02
expression changed in a way that was like she
1:05:04
registered what I was saying to her as an
1:05:07
Asian person and she was like thank you. And
1:05:10
I really felt it. She is a dream. You
1:05:12
saw that movement, right, Oh? I saw it. I mean we
1:05:14
were both there. I mean it was very obvious
1:05:16
that she was the international star
1:05:19
in the room and she was treated
1:05:21
as such, which we love. Number one hundred
1:05:24
is Kale's designation
1:05:26
as a super food. Kale
1:05:28
has really had a moment. I would say Kle
1:05:31
as soon as they said it's a super food. I
1:05:33
mean that was like the Debbie tump ball and he saw
1:05:35
Kale everywhere. Oh, and I think
1:05:37
that you know what song sounded different
1:05:40
after that cut
1:05:44
in, Oh, I think
1:05:46
that became about Kale and you
1:05:48
were like, this is about Klee. But I said seven eleven
1:05:50
because Beyonce wore that famous sweatshirt
1:05:53
that said Kale on it. She was iconic
1:05:55
a mats and that sweatshirt, and then you all of a
1:05:57
sudden you saw people wearing it, people
1:05:59
like you, people like me. I don't
1:06:01
think that's much right, I have different Beyonce. You
1:06:04
have a Kale. I'll have a kick by have a kick by the pound
1:06:07
one. Sorry, you know me better. Number onety
1:06:09
three is let me blow your
1:06:12
mind by even Stefan,
1:06:15
do do do drop
1:06:17
your asses shake? No, drop
1:06:20
your glasses shake. They screwed
1:06:22
up like you and
1:06:25
Stefani. This was like the first solo venture man
1:06:29
iconic. Her first solo venture at Side of Your
1:06:32
Doubt was a feature on something
1:06:34
like that. Yeah, that was one of the first times we saw and
1:06:36
just went Stefani in a way that was like, Okay,
1:06:38
maybe there's going to be a moment here and
1:06:41
and there was indeed a moment. There wasn't
1:06:43
in a moment it because it hasn't held up, it does
1:06:45
not make our cultural list. But Halliback
1:06:47
Girl, despite being a moment, the album
1:06:50
L A M B. Unfortunately we cannot condone
1:06:52
the horror Juku girls of it all, and
1:06:54
it does not even make it into the top four
1:06:57
on our list. Although I will
1:06:59
say the closest sort
1:07:01
of candidate that win Stefani would have had on this
1:07:03
list was on the song make
1:07:07
Me Like You, which came out,
1:07:11
Um, she just has a hook in there or like a motif
1:07:13
I would say, where she keeps going, oh god,
1:07:16
remember that. I actually have to say something,
1:07:18
Yes, I remember that, and I take it back. She
1:07:20
is on the list. Well we'll we'll find out why
1:07:22
she's on the list, but for
1:07:25
now, Number one two, Ryan
1:07:27
Philipps. But it cruel
1:07:29
intention. This is a great as.
1:07:33
It's an amazing ass. We saw it in the pool
1:07:35
light and you know who else saw it, Weatherspoon.
1:07:38
And she had to marry she mary that she
1:07:40
married that ass. You're gonna have to marry
1:07:43
that as. You're gonna have to marry that ass.
1:07:45
Okay, so then a number hundred forty
1:07:47
one is the
1:07:50
blank that that has monologue.
1:07:53
Can you do it? The clearance,
1:07:56
that that has the international occasions,
1:07:58
that that has the
1:08:00
profile, that that has a huge
1:08:02
moment, and it can apply to so much.
1:08:04
Thank you in Navarro, Thank you. One of the
1:08:07
only top Republicans,
1:08:09
one of the only acceptable Republicans. No, she's the
1:08:11
only one. I mean, I don't even know she's identifying as a
1:08:13
Republican anymore. I mean, she might
1:08:15
identify as conservative, but she's certainly
1:08:17
not going along. She's a trump pater. She's voting
1:08:19
red. What she's
1:08:21
voting red, she's like voting for like red
1:08:24
cannon like Republican. We'll see about that,
1:08:26
okay. Number one hundred forty is
1:08:29
disco. An amazing
1:08:31
movement in music, a huge movement in music.
1:08:33
Thank you, Disco, Thank you so much. Number
1:08:35
one nine is Terry Hatcheris
1:08:39
and Clark. Really it was her first
1:08:41
emergence on the scene. Was her incredible sort
1:08:44
of performance as Lewis Lane and Lewis
1:08:46
and Clark. This is before Desperate Housewives, this is before
1:08:48
Desperate Housewives. I remember watching Lewis
1:08:50
and Clark as a child and being like, this is the most beautiful woman
1:08:52
I've ever seen in my life. She's certainly that.
1:08:54
She's certainly that number one. Dty
1:08:56
eight is the World of Pandora,
1:08:59
A Disney's Animal Kingdom.
1:09:02
I mean, we've gotten our life here. We've eaten
1:09:04
at what was that beautiful steakhouse that
1:09:06
we've even see that wasn't in Animal
1:09:08
Kingdom. It was called Tiffins.
1:09:12
But I mean is that wasn't at the World of Pandora. It's
1:09:14
right when you it's on the way to World of pandas well.
1:09:16
This is this I'm looking you in the
1:09:18
eyes and telling you Tiffins is in a
1:09:21
different area of the park, but it's the closest.
1:09:24
It's the closest three dollar sign restaurant
1:09:27
and eating eatery in Animal Kingdom. That's
1:09:29
closest to Pandora. It is the nicest
1:09:31
restaurant there, but it is not
1:09:34
in the World of Pandora. And we are talking
1:09:36
about the World of Pandora, right, Let's talk about
1:09:38
the World of Pandora. It's got the beautiful plans,
1:09:40
the bioluminescent plans. I'm happy that
1:09:42
you enjoyed Tiffins. I love because
1:09:44
I have booked that for us and I
1:09:46
want to say I went to Tiffins with Michael Hartney
1:09:49
with Wow, You've been to Tiffins multiple
1:09:51
times. I've been to Tiffins with Michael Hartney,
1:09:53
I've been to Tiffins with um
1:09:56
people, with Charlie
1:09:58
Hankin of the probably everywhere we went
1:10:01
for a job in Orlando,
1:10:03
and then this was right when Pandora opened and we went to
1:10:06
Animal Kingdom and we got our life at Tiffins. And
1:10:08
we should say that Tiffins is great, but it is not
1:10:10
on the list top two hundred things in culture.
1:10:13
The world of Pandora is, and we don't have time to
1:10:15
talk about it, don't unfortunately. Number
1:10:18
one seven is Patty
1:10:20
Harrison reveals Feud
1:10:23
with Ellen podcast.
1:10:27
Now, this was an incredible moment where
1:10:29
we've had really a first celebrity feud
1:10:32
unveiled on our podcast. This
1:10:34
was a big deal and it
1:10:36
kind of developed over Patties appearances
1:10:39
on the podcast, where at first
1:10:41
it was Ellen just being generally
1:10:44
transphobic and Patty taking
1:10:46
a shoe with that, and then on Patty's
1:10:48
second appearance on the show, she talked about
1:10:50
a specific incident where Ellen um
1:10:53
murdered a lot of concert which is Patti's first
1:10:56
her first night in her tour at Stockholm
1:10:59
and flipped onto the stage and called
1:11:01
Patty mini slurs. And we should
1:11:03
all say, this is all quote unquote alleged.
1:11:06
So this is an alleged feud, but that happened
1:11:09
between pop stars Patty Harrison and now
1:11:11
the generous and only she can confirm.
1:11:14
But um, thank you Patty for being
1:11:16
brave and thank you to share your story here on the podcast.
1:11:19
UM. And number one hundred thirty six
1:11:21
is Michelle Fiver as
1:11:24
a cat woman and Batman
1:11:26
returns. Who could forget what she
1:11:28
got pushed out of that window by Christopher Walking
1:11:31
and then she was licked alive by cats and
1:11:33
became a supervillain really and
1:11:36
and put together the most formfitting
1:11:39
sort of costume that we've ever seen in
1:11:41
supervillain history. Oh, unbelievable.
1:11:43
She had to be sewn into the costume in real life. Just
1:11:45
a little culture of fact there. So
1:11:48
Number one d thirty five on the list is
1:11:50
Marilyn Monroe and by
1:11:53
extension, Smash, So
1:11:55
we wouldn't have Smash the show the
1:11:58
musical they're in without really
1:12:00
Marilyn Monroe, who was a bombshell
1:12:02
to the Bombshell, the
1:12:05
namesake Bombshell and Smash with
1:12:07
the musical television show that we would not have
1:12:09
had had it not been for Marilyn Monrose existence.
1:12:12
Some like it hot, more like we like it
1:12:15
Maryland, We like it, Norma Jean. Let's
1:12:18
keep going on. The
1:12:20
motor roll Raiser,
1:12:23
Now, the motor roll Eraser was a huge phone
1:12:26
back in the day, the aspirational
1:12:28
phone, in fact, the iPhone before they were iPhones.
1:12:31
I mean it was the motor ill Eraser, the Sidekick,
1:12:33
and BlackBerry all sort of swirling in the same
1:12:35
pool. But as you know, in our
1:12:38
lives and our sort of developments as
1:12:41
non solvent financial, non
1:12:43
financially solvent high school students, I mean,
1:12:45
the motor role E Razor was the
1:12:47
closest thing we could get to like status phone.
1:12:49
When you say, was that the one that went pretty
1:12:52
when you texted someone? It was like, I'm
1:12:54
not sure. Okay, well we can move on a
1:12:56
number one thirty three? Is Were
1:13:00
you ever a kid? No, I was
1:13:02
more like a tamagotchi girl. Okay,
1:13:05
I respect that. What is neo pets to you?
1:13:07
Neopets to me was kind of the first
1:13:10
I understood that the internet could be
1:13:12
a vessel for capitalism, where you know,
1:13:15
if you had to stay, if you wanted your neo pet to stay
1:13:17
at the nice hotel, you had to pay
1:13:19
a huge amount of neo coins wherever
1:13:21
the currency was. And I was like, oh, this
1:13:23
is how the world works in real life, but it's on
1:13:25
the internet and this made up world of animals.
1:13:28
So it was an intro to capitalism for you, absolutely,
1:13:31
and then therefore it makes it onto the list. It makes
1:13:33
it on the list because you had to earn money by playing
1:13:36
games with your pets to make them happy and to feed
1:13:38
them, and if they weren't fed, then they would die and you would
1:13:40
feel bad. It was just similar to Toma, similar
1:13:43
to Tamagtcha, but with Tamagotchi there wasn't
1:13:45
this whole economy around do
1:13:47
you want to give your pet a massage, it has to make the
1:13:49
nice massage place. Like the social
1:13:52
status and the cast system of
1:13:54
society as it were, was sort
1:13:56
of grabbed onto the world of neopets, and you learned
1:13:59
a lot as a kid. I so so really
1:14:01
um Toma got you with more about life or death, and
1:14:03
Pats was more about like a commercial society totally
1:14:07
understand. Number one two is
1:14:09
when people started saying
1:14:11
slash typing l
1:14:14
L. Now
1:14:17
this has really taken ahold of the culture in
1:14:19
a way that I don't think we could have anticipated in the
1:14:21
beginnings of a O L instag messenger. L
1:14:24
O L not only did
1:14:26
it arrive in the scene in a big way, but it is
1:14:28
here to stay. I mean, you've got people saying l O L
1:14:30
in real life. L O L has really
1:14:34
lasted far beyond B R B or
1:14:36
G two G T T y
1:14:38
L. I mean, who says these thing? Cares about T
1:14:40
T y L. We say L L all
1:14:42
the time. It transcends demographics,
1:14:45
that transcends age groups, that transcends race.
1:14:48
What what can we say that transcends race?
1:14:50
Not much? But l O L definitely does. L
1:14:53
O L is used the world over.
1:14:55
No. Number one one, speaking of
1:14:58
you know sort of things technologically
1:15:01
took the world of flame. This is
1:15:03
the invention of gone
1:15:06
all the days when you had to call someone
1:15:09
later and be like, hey, I'll get you this money
1:15:11
later. No, no, no, Now you can just text
1:15:13
the girl the cash over
1:15:16
the internet and
1:15:18
there was no excuse. It's like, hey,
1:15:20
you haven't venmoed me. You haven't fulfilled my venmo
1:15:22
in a while. Oh yeah. Now you know
1:15:25
when someone is troublesome in your life
1:15:27
if they have not fulfilled your venmo. And
1:15:29
I'm thinking actually of Bow and Yang for
1:15:31
many years was a vanmo bandit
1:15:34
you you still really take a long
1:15:36
time to fulfill venmos. Okay,
1:15:38
I'll cop to that now.
1:15:40
Not not so rich
1:15:43
rich woman. Number
1:15:45
one hundred and thirty is Sandra
1:15:49
Wine winning Survivor
1:15:51
Pearl Islands.
1:15:54
A huge win. I mean a win
1:15:57
that she could have won, she could have easily
1:15:59
lost, but um, what's her face? Litl
1:16:01
litl eliminated,
1:16:04
eliminated once during the game, came back
1:16:06
as an outcast that made it to the end. Really
1:16:08
one of the first goats, if you will, really
1:16:11
easy for Sandra to win, and she was a smart player,
1:16:13
smart tratetic player. She's your girl, Sassy Sandra,
1:16:16
and she won again herees versus villains.
1:16:18
And this we really include on the list
1:16:20
because it was the introduction of Sandra
1:16:22
Dias Twine into the franchise up Survivor.
1:16:25
But it was that Lil eliminated. It
1:16:27
was that Little chose Santa to go to the top two and little eliminated
1:16:31
fair play Johnny fair Play. And
1:16:33
so at that point Sandra was like, I've got
1:16:35
this. She really took her moment there. Number
1:16:37
one is the actress Regina
1:16:41
King and everything and
1:16:43
everything she's in Watchman. If
1:16:45
Bill Street could talk, never forget Miss
1:16:47
Congeniality, to never forget
1:16:51
Blonde, to a sequel Queen two to seven,
1:16:54
never forget all the American crimes, I
1:16:56
ever forget any of it. Jerry
1:16:59
mc wire, Jerry McGuire, and we got to say
1:17:01
we also met Regina King one, Yes, we did.
1:17:04
Wasn't she the coolest person,
1:17:06
coolest, best dressed person, best
1:17:09
energy. Yes? And you this
1:17:11
is before I Feel Streak talk came out. You brought
1:17:14
it up and she I remember the look on her face when
1:17:16
you said the words, and we're so excited that if
1:17:18
fiel Stree could talk would come for that to
1:17:20
come out. And she lit up and she was like thank you. She
1:17:22
the look in her and her eyes was thank you for bringing
1:17:25
this up. She was thankful for you. I don't have
1:17:27
to reveal that I can remember clear as day that it
1:17:29
was you who brought up if Bill Streak and
1:17:31
I brought up seven seconds. I
1:17:33
did not bring up a Filtre. Did you brought
1:17:36
up both? No, I didn't know what it feel streeld Talk
1:17:38
was at that time. You said that she had
1:17:40
a new piece by James Baldwin that she was working.
1:17:42
I gave you. I said, you have
1:17:44
a new a movie based on a James Baldwin book,
1:17:47
James Baldwin story. And then you said if fiel Street could
1:17:49
talk, that is I probably did say
1:17:51
that, but I want to give you credit to it because
1:17:53
you did bring up that. But
1:17:56
the thing is we actually recalled both
1:17:58
things that she had won an award for because I said
1:18:00
seven seconds and I said, we are putting into
1:18:02
the atmosphere that Regina people will win another enmy
1:18:04
day. She did, and we
1:18:06
talked about if Bill Streak Top when she would later win
1:18:09
an Oscar. So we did not know
1:18:11
we were sitting in the midst of an Oscar
1:18:13
winner and she had
1:18:15
already won to I mean before that, we're you're going
1:18:17
to be winning another Emmy, young girl,
1:18:20
And she was like, well, thank you, I hope so, and
1:18:22
then those hopes turned to reality. We
1:18:24
stand, Regina King have from the very beginning.
1:18:26
Thank you, Regina. Let's move on to number
1:18:29
one. Another actress Alison
1:18:32
Williams eating the cereal
1:18:35
and get Out a huge
1:18:37
scene. This scene really kind
1:18:39
of shot her forward in my eyes
1:18:41
as you know, someone to watch. Because
1:18:43
we only knew her from Girls playing More any we were like, what's
1:18:45
she all about? That she wasn't get out and the movie get
1:18:47
Out does not work without that performance. We
1:18:50
should say it was fun the way she ate that cereal
1:18:53
and the cereal coming right after. You think the moment up
1:18:55
until that point is when
1:18:57
she's freaking out and then she has
1:19:00
the car keys. She can't find the car keys, and then she has
1:19:02
them and then her expression changes. But the moment
1:19:04
is actually seeing the pictures
1:19:06
of her with her former boyfriends who
1:19:09
have been killed, eating the cheerio
1:19:11
separately from the milk. Yes, an
1:19:13
absolute queen of a scene. Queen of number
1:19:17
is our interview and
1:19:21
as subsequent feud.
1:19:25
This was a low moment for us when we had
1:19:27
what we thought was a really good interview with Tracy Morgan
1:19:30
at Vulture Press and it went viral because
1:19:32
he made some mess out of the Tiffany
1:19:34
Hattrish of it all. You can go back
1:19:36
and watch the video um And then
1:19:38
based on that interview, Julie Chen said
1:19:40
that we were rude for asking him about Tiffany
1:19:43
Hattrich, which is almost like
1:19:45
her saying that every time she's interviewed someone
1:19:48
that she's never asked about a code star, which I
1:19:50
defy Trulie Chen, and I say that is
1:19:52
not true. And Julie Chen, when you lost
1:19:54
your job in disgrace, we did not feel
1:19:56
bad about it because you came for us in a
1:19:58
moment a very bad sting in journalism,
1:20:01
and we don't we don't feel
1:20:03
bad. And Julie Chen, I mean, you're
1:20:06
you're an apologist for a lot of terrible people.
1:20:08
Let's just say that on the record. Let's just say
1:20:10
that on the record. Honey.
1:20:14
Let's keep going. Those big brother checks are
1:20:16
keeping you warm anyway one is.
1:20:20
And doubt saying Hulu,
1:20:23
who could forget when and Down won an Emmy and
1:20:25
said, Hulu, I haven't forgotten. Let's move on.
1:20:29
When Game of Thrones could
1:20:31
make dragons but not photoshop
1:20:34
out a Starbucks cup, I
1:20:37
mean there's not there's nothing that hasn't been said
1:20:39
about the Starbucks cup. No Game of
1:20:41
Thrones references are on this list. Just the fact
1:20:43
that a Game of Thrones let a Starbucks
1:20:45
cup sneak in there. I famously
1:20:47
think it was on purpose because I
1:20:50
have sat in editing rooms and to
1:20:52
think that no one would catch
1:20:55
that cup from shooting
1:20:57
to editing to pop
1:21:00
bushing is literally insane. I don't
1:21:02
believe it, and I think they were trifling with us. That's
1:21:05
that's a conspiracy. MAT's a truther. Let's
1:21:07
keep going American America
1:21:11
for in
1:21:15
Sisterhood of the Traveling. This,
1:21:17
of course, is when she threw the first brick at Bradley
1:21:19
Wufford's house, which is something that we've
1:21:21
covered before her. We
1:21:23
love it, number one, Matt
1:21:26
and on the
1:21:28
View, we were famously on the View.
1:21:30
We went to the View to go see Kelly Clarkson be on the
1:21:33
View, and then they producers
1:21:35
came out of to the audience and said, we're going to be surprising
1:21:38
Kelly's number one fan. People who had
1:21:40
given us tickets were well aware of that. I was in the
1:21:42
audience. I thought they met me. Turns out
1:21:44
they met someone else who allegedly Land
1:21:46
who had lost like ninety pounds while listening to
1:21:48
Kelly's music, and then he got
1:21:51
free tickets to Kelly Clarkson's concert,
1:21:53
which was devastating to
1:21:55
hear about However, the
1:21:58
real gag was when we were on Screw Yes,
1:22:00
and you saw me being a
1:22:03
little overcorrecting in my support for
1:22:05
this boy who would just want tickets
1:22:07
to this Kelly Clarkson show, and
1:22:09
that Matt had this abject horror
1:22:11
on his face that he had to watch
1:22:14
someone else get there Kelly Clarkson fantasy fulfilled,
1:22:16
And um, let's just say it didn't
1:22:18
say well with me. I'm sorry, it did not say
1:22:20
well with me. Number One Sutton
1:22:24
Foster tap dancing and
1:22:26
Anything Goes. She is an amazing
1:22:28
talent, that Sutton, an amazing talent,
1:22:30
that Sutton who has sung at so many Kennedy
1:22:33
Center honors. We
1:22:35
love her something. I mean when she tap danced
1:22:37
and Anything Goes. On the Tony Awards, you
1:22:40
said, how could you give it to anyone else? And
1:22:42
we did and we didn't.
1:22:45
She won that one. But I will say
1:22:47
that I did see her in the musical
1:22:50
Drowsy Chaperone, and she has a number called show
1:22:52
Off and Then and I watched that at a young
1:22:54
age and I said, she cannot lose the Tony and she did.
1:22:56
So these Tony Awards are not a sure thing, no matter
1:22:58
how well turn a performance
1:23:00
that's true. That's true. Let's keep going to
1:23:03
number one, KFC
1:23:06
releasing the double Down.
1:23:09
What is this poem? This is this is the KFC
1:23:11
sand which where the two buns
1:23:14
were chicken patties fried chicken patties,
1:23:16
and it caused a big stir And I think we're still
1:23:18
dealing with ramifications today
1:23:21
fast food culture that we have to say, and honestly
1:23:23
that McDonald's released them. Griddle did not make
1:23:25
it, but KFC releasing the double
1:23:28
Down did make it and make you understand. We're going to get
1:23:30
a lot of sort of hate mail about this
1:23:32
from our McDonald's queens and kings,
1:23:34
but you know, please sit down. We are the culture
1:23:36
where the culture now. The next
1:23:39
is one and twenty Sherry Shepherd
1:23:42
not knowing if the Earth is
1:23:44
flat, you know, famously she was
1:23:46
confronted on the view by saying,
1:23:48
do you think the earth is flat? Will
1:23:51
She said, I don't know. I wouldn't
1:23:53
I would want to know how to feed my children. She
1:23:56
said that something to that effect. She definitely redirected
1:23:58
and she said, I may not know if
1:24:00
the Earth is flat, but I am a good person,
1:24:03
which is, you know, certainly a way to
1:24:05
get her I actually respect that it's fire that Roger's
1:24:07
school. If I don't know my words, but I do know my heart.
1:24:10
I actually have a picture of Sherry Shepherd
1:24:12
up in my personal museum. That's
1:24:14
great. Saint Sherry. We call her especially
1:24:17
a rule of culture. Number ninety s Sherry.
1:24:20
We call her. Number is
1:24:23
Jennifer Lawrence gay
1:24:26
rights. No. Jennifer Lawrence has said a lot of things
1:24:28
in her day, but when she said gay rights, that was culture.
1:24:30
And now all the girls are trying to say gay rights
1:24:32
with her right. Number one D
1:24:35
eighteen Pon
1:24:38
wasted accepting a Golden
1:24:40
Globe. This is when she brought the cookies
1:24:43
up off the table and handed out cookies on her way up
1:24:45
to the Golden Globe. She could tell she was absolutely black
1:24:47
out. But she won for her performance
1:24:49
as cookie Lion, and she deserved
1:24:51
that one absolutely. Number one seventeen
1:24:53
is half the dress.
1:24:56
Who could forget us arguing all about the dress.
1:24:59
I was with you Times Square at a at
1:25:01
a like a bodega buffet, and
1:25:03
you thought it was black and blue, and I thought it
1:25:05
was white and golden. I thought it was white and gold You were
1:25:07
right, I was wrong, And it was really crazy
1:25:09
to have an argument about that and it was
1:25:11
and for me to be right. Number
1:25:14
one hundred sixteen on our rule of top two
1:25:16
hundred moments in culture history is the passing
1:25:18
of the men.
1:25:21
This gave women the right to vote and think
1:25:23
it was about time and it was the beginning of
1:25:26
us a voting rights reform. And
1:25:28
thank you Susan B. Anthony for making
1:25:30
this happen, and all the suffragets
1:25:33
really thank you, which
1:25:36
is Rosie and Elizabeth on
1:25:38
the view. This beats out the passing
1:25:41
of the nineteenth Amendment. When Rosie
1:25:43
and Elizabeth fought on the view, this was
1:25:45
a moment a culture. They went to that fabulous
1:25:47
split screen and really they have not
1:25:49
reconciled over this poem. And when they
1:25:51
went to the split screen, you get see and you come into on this
1:25:53
when Rosie, like Rosie, saw
1:25:55
that they were going to the split screen, or was it Elizabeth who
1:25:57
thought that they were going to It was Rosie who saw it and
1:26:00
called it out wow, And
1:26:02
that's when she quit. She said, I can't be having
1:26:04
this. Someone who has moral
1:26:06
clarity and and and and decisions
1:26:08
based on that clarity. Huge. Yeah, Now
1:26:10
we have number one hundred fourteen carry
1:26:15
voiceover, and I had to wonder,
1:26:17
is there more of an influential
1:26:20
voiceover performance than
1:26:22
this? I had to wonder that I had to wonder. I
1:26:24
don't think there is. I would say this
1:26:26
brought back to the voiceover as a worthy
1:26:29
method of narration. Do you think that there
1:26:31
would be an a Meredith Gray voice
1:26:34
of were convention in Gray's Anatomy without sex
1:26:36
in the City, Carry Bradshaw. I think that
1:26:39
that's a really interesting question, and
1:26:42
I would say no. I would say
1:26:45
Carry Bradshaw and Sara Jessica
1:26:47
Parker's performance as Carrie Bradshaw revolutionized,
1:26:50
revitalized, and resurrected the
1:26:53
voice over as a narrative device
1:26:55
that we now have in Gray's
1:26:57
Anatomy, which has a lead character
1:26:59
named Meredith Gray. Let's keep
1:27:01
going. This is number one. Lisa
1:27:04
Lisa Coudro invented post
1:27:06
It's monologue and Roman Michelle
1:27:09
Wow. I mean when she talks about how she like
1:27:11
used a specific kind of glue epoxy,
1:27:15
you have to wonder did Lisa Coudo draw
1:27:17
on her experience as
1:27:19
a chemistry major at Vassar at
1:27:22
Vassar and working for her father in
1:27:24
some biotech company. Have you
1:27:26
ever met Lisa Kudro. I have not met
1:27:28
Have you met Lissa Coudro Never? When you do meet
1:27:31
her, though, you should tell her that you majored in chemistry
1:27:33
like her. I would love to. I mean, she's she's
1:27:35
the best there is. I mean, we watched the Comeback
1:27:37
season two the other the other day, like we watched
1:27:40
the whole series, and it was just so unbelievable.
1:27:43
Started all started all oh,
1:27:46
you know, Sex in the City started it all
1:27:48
in a different way, of
1:27:51
course. Lea Lela
1:27:53
Durham. I think it's Lena
1:27:55
Dunham. That's what I said, Lena number
1:28:00
one t when Thelma
1:28:02
and Louise drove over
1:28:05
the cliff huge,
1:28:08
This was so huge, and that thunderbird went
1:28:11
over that cliff, and that iconic soundtrack
1:28:13
and those incredible performances of those two women
1:28:16
Gina Davis and Susan Sarandon both
1:28:18
nominated for Oscars in that film. A
1:28:20
film that should be watched,
1:28:22
watched absolutely, and a polarizing ending,
1:28:24
but one that we stand by that
1:28:26
it's an iconic ending because if this world couldn't
1:28:29
handle them, this world didn't deserve them on
1:28:31
that freeze frame ic
1:28:33
iconic, Let's keep going one Dred eleven. Julia
1:28:37
Roberts is huge mouth.
1:28:39
You can hang a coat hanger in that mouth. Mouth,
1:28:42
and that mouth was a hundred
1:28:44
million wattage of smile and
1:28:46
it got her all the roles in the early
1:28:49
nineties, Mystic Pizza on Pretty
1:28:51
Woman still Magnolia's
1:28:53
woolf. The we're
1:28:55
just saying the mouth was a big part
1:28:58
of the appeal because
1:29:00
that smile was amazing and you saw, you
1:29:02
saw it all, and she could a moute through that math like
1:29:05
no other. She's a star. I
1:29:07
see, let's blast through these next ten and
1:29:09
and cut to a break. What what do you say? I
1:29:11
think that we are going to have to just have this
1:29:13
be one episode and we're going to have to do a second episode,
1:29:16
which is part two, I think,
1:29:18
because there's just there's just no way
1:29:21
this is gonna be too long. And I'm actually
1:29:23
saying it on the mic to our producers that this
1:29:26
is gonna have to be a two partner because
1:29:28
I don't know how we thought we were going to get through two
1:29:30
hundred moments of culture. It's it's the only
1:29:32
it was the only option when it was the
1:29:34
only option we
1:29:37
had. It had to be two hundred, had we
1:29:39
had it. We couldn't gloss over these moments.
1:29:42
No, but we're gonna get through these next ten
1:29:44
or next what is it next? Next ten,
1:29:47
and then we're going to take a break, um, and we're
1:29:49
gonna come back with another whole episode, which is the
1:29:51
top one hundred moments of
1:29:53
culture because we have done two
1:29:55
hundred episodes of Last Cultures this, I
1:29:57
mean, the only way to honor that sort of back hat
1:30:00
aologue is with two moments. And I'm
1:30:02
so happy we stopped everything to say that discovering
1:30:04
in this moment, like we have discovered so much that
1:30:07
will be doing two episodes of this because it's not logistically
1:30:09
feasible to continue. Number one D
1:30:12
ten lou Post
1:30:14
light blue oscars dress
1:30:17
a k A. The moment
1:30:20
when she won her oscar firsts a slave
1:30:22
and she had that light periwinkle blue dress.
1:30:25
Zach Posing. I want to say, honestly,
1:30:28
I want to say Zach Posing all the time, because you
1:30:30
know that Zach Poson is my celebrity crush and
1:30:32
he's DM you
1:30:35
made that up. I kind of, for
1:30:37
some reason thought that he that you would
1:30:40
correspondence. Oh my god, I love Zach pos
1:30:42
and I think he's so hot. But anyway,
1:30:44
um, if it wasn't him that made this dress, and then
1:30:46
god bless who did? God bless who did
1:30:49
at this moment the way it moved as she hit
1:30:51
center stage, Oh my god, I
1:30:53
mean just like Cinderella, that like a fairy
1:30:55
tale. It looked so incredible on her, and
1:30:57
she is a fashion icon and we need to say
1:30:59
it loud and proud. Let's keep going.
1:31:02
Let's keep going. One or nine the o C
1:31:04
Season one. Oh
1:31:07
my gosh, who could forget Ryan,
1:31:09
Marissa Summer and Seth

1:31:17
Miss Julie Cooper iconic milth

Ms Kirston iconic

Sandy iconic eyebrows.
1:31:27
He's sexy sex You ever watched
1:31:29
the sex scene Front American Beauty when he foxs
1:31:31
in net Benning and he goes, you're like getting
1:31:33
fucked by the king. You like getting
1:31:35
funned by the king. Oh my god? Do
1:31:37
you identify with with um with
1:31:39
with Mr Gallagher as an eyebrows person?
1:31:43
Yes? Yes, I would be interested to see
1:31:45

1:31:47
I think he's the Greek. Okay's
1:31:50
Greek there alright, Greek going
1:31:53
um yeah, though he was amazing. Number
1:31:55
one eight Elizabeth Banks
1:31:58
and Power Rain. She
1:32:01
went for it with this one, a true
1:32:03
villain Krispy Kream.
1:32:05
You loved all the Crispy Cream line readings,
1:32:08
and let's do it one too. Three
1:32:10
How
1:32:15
you could tell? The line in the script was how, and
1:32:17
it came out as just like a sort of exasperated
1:32:20
howel Yes, she was going
1:32:22
for the Razzie with this one. I think she wanted to show
1:32:24
up at the Razzy stage winning. But really she
1:32:27
should have been nominated for an Oscar for a no holds
1:32:29
barred performance as Rita Repulsa,
1:32:32
who is, of course I think canonically
1:32:34
Filipino, well, Japanese
1:32:37
in the way that all of them were. I mean maybe Philippine,
1:32:39
maybe some Pacific islander, Southeast
1:32:42
Asian. Well, she's Elizabeth Banks.
1:32:45
Now, she's Elizabeth Banks.
1:32:47
Now let's keep going. Okay, this is number
1:32:49
one hundred and seven. This is Whitney Houston
1:32:52
when she went and who
1:32:56
could forget when the drum made
1:32:59
that sound and she
1:33:01
unleashed the note, you
1:33:04
will never forget where you were when you saw that. I'll never
1:33:06
forget that, and you know famously this was a
1:33:08
song written and first performed by Dolly
1:33:10
Parton, who could have known that it would be
1:33:12
done? So I kindly by Whitney, the Houston,
1:33:15
the Voice, the Voice, Let's
1:33:17
keep going to the
1:33:19
drums and Lose my
1:33:22
Breath by Destiny's Child of
1:33:24
course, But wow,
1:33:28
percussion, fish, Oh
1:33:31
my god, percussion for your absolute
1:33:33
nerves and it just lights up
1:33:35
a spark in you, doesn't it? It really does.
1:33:38
And I knew this was going to be a huge hit when I first
1:33:40
heard it. I had a moment of hope when
1:33:42
Lose my Breath came out and was like, they're back together.
1:33:45
Well they they've never broken up, I
1:33:47
know, but like you know, dangerously
1:33:50
in love. It was the moment and everyone's
1:33:52
like, Beyonce, that's the moment, and I remember
1:33:54
loving that damn album. But then kind of secretly
1:33:57
morning Destiny's Child does mean?
1:33:59
Does this mean Siny's Child is over? But then Lose my Breath
1:34:01
came out and Destiny Fulfield came out, and I was like, all
1:34:04
hope is not lost. Not only did Destiny
1:34:06
of the Field come out, I believe
1:34:08
it is their best work. I believe it's their
1:34:10
best album as a trio. Kelly
1:34:13
Roland has gone on record to say that it is
1:34:15
her favorite. It's
1:34:17
like like like they asked you, like, what's your favorite Destiny's
1:34:20
Child song? And she says, every song off of Destiny's
1:34:22
Destiny I mean, never forget, Girl,
1:34:24
Girl, never forget, If never
1:34:27
forget, I mean cater to you,
1:34:30
to you, t shirt
1:34:33
sleep, Yes, come
1:34:36
on, I mean and also their iconic
1:34:38
Bolt which was not on the album, but was stand
1:34:40
Up for Love, Stand Up for Love. And then they did a
1:34:43
cover of Emotions by the Beg's Well
1:34:45
that was on an earlier album, but yes, all
1:34:47
Emotions was on Survivor. Yes,
1:34:50
it was I Accept Your Apology.
1:34:53
UM number one. The
1:34:55
baby boom after World
1:34:57
War Two. Okay, so, okay
1:35:00
boomer. We wouldn't have the phrase okay boomer
1:35:03
without, of course, the baby boom. Now, this
1:35:05
is a period of time before and
1:35:07
after and during the war when
1:35:10
men were not spending a lot of time with their wives
1:35:12
and someone they did, they got them absolutely
1:35:14
pregnant. This you led to a huge
1:35:17
surge in births during
1:35:19
the time period of
1:35:22
fifties. Yes, absolutely, and
1:35:25
it led to it
1:35:27
coincided with um.
1:35:29
You know, a lot of social programs being
1:35:32
put into affecting the United States and economic
1:35:34
prosperity, so it all could have worked out when
1:35:37
it helped assert the US's global dominance.
1:35:40
Yes, and um, we should say, um,
1:35:43
I am ya teacher, and
1:35:45
I knew this knowledge
1:35:47
of um World War two, and I should be
1:35:49
celebrated. I not
1:35:52
put this in, and I think that should be celebrated for putting
1:35:54
this in. Number one is
1:35:57
the longevity of hang.
1:36:00
Talk about longevity. I
1:36:02
think Pank has had one of the most enviable careers
1:36:04
in music. I mean once she burst onto
1:36:07
the scene with there you Go, look
1:36:09
in Pizza Foe just because I lets
1:36:11
you go, There you Go, talking
1:36:13
about she want me back? Oh
1:36:16
my god, I mean so
1:36:19
much versatility and what is powerful
1:36:21
voice? I mean misunderstood
1:36:23
the album, misunderstood the album.
1:36:26
I mean raise your glass,
1:36:29
So raise your glass if
1:36:31
you are wrong, and all the
1:36:34
ways iconic freak, pink,
1:36:36
iconic freak, iconic absolute
1:36:38
freak. We will never never be anything
1:36:41
but loud and nitty gritty, dirty
1:36:43
gritty, dirty little freak little
1:36:45
freaks, So raise your glass. And
1:36:48
also iconic ballad in a
1:36:50
family potcher. We
1:36:53
look pretty happy.
1:36:55
Let's play perdun not like I
1:36:57
go Natty. Yes,
1:37:00
never forget, never forget number
1:37:02
one hundred and three. And
1:37:07
you better believe that I watched every single
1:37:09
one of her confirmation hearings in the Senate. I
1:37:12
mean, she is the Supreme
1:37:14
Court justice. Do you know this story? AOC
1:37:18
tells this story. But so during
1:37:20
her Senate hearings when she was nominated by
1:37:22
Barack Obama, one of our presidents, remember
1:37:25
her? Remember her? Some
1:37:27
publicists or some like media
1:37:30
consultants or media consults are like, you
1:37:32
should wear a nude neil polish so
1:37:34
that you come off more neutral and
1:37:37
more sort of not as like loud
1:37:39
and vibrant and sort of like you're
1:37:41
not making this impression that you can control. She
1:37:43
said, no, she said fuck that. And you
1:37:45
see her wearing bright red nail
1:37:47
pology. Isn't that? I love that story
1:37:50
iconic. Also, have you seen Knock Down the House? No, I need
1:37:52
to see it. Oh my god, there's
1:37:54
such that it. Knocked Down the House
1:37:56
is amazing. And also it's like, there's
1:37:59
so much great stuff going
1:38:02
on. Netflix has amazing documentaries. You guys,
1:38:04
come on, you gotta give it up. Rule of Culture
1:38:06
number nine documentaries,
1:38:09
guys. Um. But she in her very first
1:38:11
scene talks about she's getting ready, and this is before
1:38:14
she's even filed to run, Like this
1:38:16
camera crew followed her from the beginning. It's
1:38:18
unbelievable. And she's getting ready
1:38:21
and she's like, there's no way to
1:38:23
know how you should get ready as a female running
1:38:25
for president, because either you're in a full suit
1:38:28
or you're in that like drag of light
1:38:31
colored shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow.
1:38:33
But there's no prototype of
1:38:35
how a woman who is a politician running
1:38:37
for office looks, and so you have to think about the way
1:38:39
you present yourself. And it was just like she
1:38:42
also talks about
1:38:46
in the yeah, in the documentary
1:38:48
and it's really moving. So and
1:38:50
she was our speaker, our
1:38:53
speaker at graduation. Yes she was. She spoke
1:38:55
in our graduation and was amazing. In the first word she said
1:38:57
was this is awesome.
1:39:01
Do you remember that? I remember that. And she was like a
1:39:03
girl like me from the Bronx
1:39:06
speaking to you at Yankees. I mean they made
1:39:08
a whole big deal about being at Yankee Stadium. Our
1:39:11
graduation was at Yankee Stadium. Um, okay.
1:39:13
So the next one is
1:39:16
number one D and two Beanie
1:39:18
Baby Culture. Wow.
1:39:22
Wow, Um, I
1:39:24
mean beanie babies are still going strong. I
1:39:26
saw one at the airport on my way into l A. It
1:39:29
was a very perilous environment, but the
1:39:31
beanie babies were a grounding force. And
1:39:33
also, you know what you can never forget
1:39:36
is the fact that, you
1:39:38
know, beanie baby culture also
1:39:41
was Princess Diana culture because
1:39:44
it sort of gave us, you know, the
1:39:47
um beanie baby that was most
1:39:49
famous, which is the Diana baby,
1:39:52
which was the Diana baby. And
1:39:54
also never forget we had our peace Bear, yes,
1:39:57
and we also had um
1:40:00
the dolphins, the dolphins.
1:40:03
Many different things contributed to
1:40:05
um beanie baby culture and ultimately
1:40:08
we were told they would come to be worth a
1:40:10
lot of money and that remains to be
1:40:12
seen. But speaking of toys
1:40:14
that were good for Christmas time, number
1:40:16
one and one is Furby
1:40:20
a big comeback, I would say, in the meme
1:40:23
culture, I'm seeing a lot of furbies. Not
1:40:25
surprised to hear that. I mean, there's such crazy,
1:40:28
crazy animals. I'll never forget what My
1:40:30
uncle got me a Furbye three or four
1:40:32
years too late. And it was like three or four
1:40:34
years after the Furby craze, and I was like, oh my God,
1:40:36
and then I just had this white furby acting a fool
1:40:39
in my closet. I feel actually very bad because
1:40:41
even though it was a toy with no soul,
1:40:44
it really did a good job of making you feel
1:40:46
it did have a soul and feelings because
1:40:48
they would be crying, hysteric,
1:40:51
randomly begging for attention in
1:40:53
the middle of the night. Oh honey, terrible.
1:40:56
So fur actually may have been scarring
1:40:58
culture. I think the scarring culture. Matt.
1:41:01
We're one hundred and one, We're halfway through the
1:41:03
list. What do you think we should so number one hundred?
1:41:05
Oh okay,
1:41:08
so maybe you're saying maybe we should start with a hundred.
1:41:10
I think we start with that, alright. So then literally,
1:41:13
I think we've gone through the first one
1:41:15
hundred of our We've been two hundred to
1:41:18
one hundred and one of our top two
1:41:20
hundred moments of culture, and
1:41:22
I think that we've done an incredibly We've done an incredible
1:41:24
job. We hope that you agree with this list.
1:41:27
You have to agree with the list because it's definitively
1:41:29
empirically the list. Um, we're not
1:41:31
going to do and I don't think so, honey, Because this
1:41:33
this episode is an hour and forty five minutes.
1:41:36
But we are going to say we
1:41:38
will see you later, and maybe the episode
1:41:40
that follow us will be coming a little bit sooner than
1:41:42
you think. Yes, we'll have to talk to the
1:41:45
producers. We're gonna have to talk to the producers because
1:41:47
we've made a lot of decisions without them
1:41:49
and they are very We appreciate their
1:41:51
flexibility and their adaptability in this process.
1:41:54
That we're doing something that no one's ever done before, which is catalog
1:41:57
the top two hundred moments in culture history. No one
1:41:59
has ever done this before. And also it's
1:42:01
our two hundredth episode and we're very excited. Also,
1:42:03
please remember that we're saying
1:42:05
it's our two hundred episode based on
1:42:08
my count, which could be
1:42:10
wrong. I will accept it
1:42:12
as right. I I told you, I looked in your eyes and I
1:42:14
said, I trust you. And remember
1:42:16
that Bowen has not done
1:42:19
account of the episodes, even though I told him, do
1:42:21
you want to double check me? And he said, I trust you? So
1:42:24
I really I I put it to the viewers
1:42:26
to count the episodes and tell me if I'm wrong,
1:42:28
but also deeply no that I don't care.
1:42:30
And that's not the point. The point is to celebrate
1:42:33
this landmark achievement for the pod and
1:42:35
recount the
1:42:38
episodes and moments
1:42:40
of culture that are really meaningful.
1:42:42
We're so drunk um
1:42:45
and I mean, this is the most time I've had
1:42:47
in months. But stay tuned
1:42:50
for the remaining one hundred top
1:42:52
moments in culture history. You're not gonna want
1:42:54
to miss any of these. There's plenty
1:42:57
to cover. And number one, I'd
1:43:00
want to say, definitively, you
1:43:02
can you can? You can? You know push back
1:43:04
on the order of the list. Number one is
1:43:07
in the exact deserving spot.
1:43:09
Oh, number one is the number
1:43:11
one moment in culture history. You will not
1:43:13
dispute it with that, I would say that really
1:43:16
everything is in its right place, there is
1:43:18
no dispute. But before you think we've
1:43:21
not counted something in,
1:43:23
understand that there are a hundred
1:43:25
more moments coming. So and
1:43:28
we end every episode with a song. If
1:43:31
the said no one your body
1:43:34
now, if would you want
1:43:36
it against me?
