Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

I was reading Brett Easton Ellis, I was reading American Psycho and Glamorama and I... ripped off of Brett Easton Ellis's horror as a writer.

In the original in the original novel and the book the Michael Crichton like mm-hmm, like Henry Wu is like Like just look at this shit

I Had read the book and I was got really excited and then they had to read scenes from the book to audition I forgot how it was very strange.

Then we had the amber talking about the mosquito Dinosaur theme park They sat down and wrote dinosaur theme park Of course this was a novel first Thank you Michael Crichton

A Pirate Looks at 40? A Pirate Looks at 40, the book, is right there.

I didn't I didn't know about the books. You didn't know that he was also writing.

Is that in a novel? A man looks a pirate looks at 40.

I hope he writes.

I could write a novel based on every one of his songs. They're so deep. Oh, they go hard.

A Pirate Looks at 40? A Pirate Looks at 40, the book, is right there.

I didn't I didn't know about the books. You didn't know that he was also writing.

A man looks a pirate looks at 40. He is a novel. A pirate looks at 40.

I read the preface of her autobiography 'Becoming' and I almost it was like nails on a chalkboard that I was reading that Michelle Obama microwaved a grilled cheese.

So he has a timetable in there for how long it takes for something.

And let's talk about it on the podcast. In Reader's Case, Publishers, Finalists, let's get your take on this. So this is the timetable that he has.

Well, I'll just say this is from the book Status and Culture by W. David Marks, How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion and Constant Change.

And actually kind of on face value, it kind of speaks to Mean Boys a little bit, too, because that book is a lot about how culture, about politics flows downhill from culture, like and just about like interesting things to think about as of late.

Doubt.

Yeah, and he also wrote Doubt. Yes, but it's really good.

It is such a good movie.

It makes you so happy.

Cher is really good in it.

I really recommend you watch Moonstruck.

I love Moonstruck.

I've never seen Moonstruck. I saw it when I was very young. I don't remember it. It is such a good movie. Yes, I remember it. It's such a good movie.

Well, that it was fun. Yes, I'm sorry. It makes you so happy. Cher is really good in it.

I really recommend you watch Moonstruck.

It's really funny. There's an Italian grandpa who has five dogs.

Listen to that little cultural tip. Watch Moonstruck. Everyone, and we'll all report back.

I just think like I would like to believe that we are humans who have our convictions and we have our ethical ground to stand on, but I also think like it has so much to do with circumstance and like what you believe and it's like can power and fame turn you into a monster. I think 'Game Change' and the story of Sarah Palin would argue that it can't yeah Donald Trump even and with Donald Trump as well, I mean on a much on a much more relevant and grand scale yeah so is that a human failing? Well, I just I just mean to understand these people as humans right, like if you want to even humanize like it's like that chapter in 'The Bluest Eye' when Toni Morrison humanizes this character who is the most violent despicable character of the whole book and you didn't think it was possible. It's like are we, you know maybe like we'll ultimately get that chapter for Donald Trump.

it's like that chapter in The Bluest Eye when Toni Morrison humanizes this character who is the most violent despicable character of the whole book and you didn't think it was possible.

White man who says he cannot get through Nanette.

Oh. Four guys be like I tried to watch it but like I don't know I only lasted 30 minutes.

The whole point of Nanette is the 30 minutes that come after your fragile male ego that cannot stand her.

First of all the first half is hilarious. Yes. There's take ups and salsa. All sorts of jokes and the fact that you like can't even get past that.

Because everything has to be catered to you and your dick humor goes fuck. Ah yes. Go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself.

Okay, I don't think so honey. White man who says he cannot get through Nanette.

The whole point of Nanette is the 30 minutes that come after your fragile male ego that cannot stand her.

Go fuck yourself.

You don't like gay jokes. You're never gonna expand. You're never gonna be woke.

It's not for you to explain.

But what you mentioned brings me to another book that influenced my life a great deal called 'I and Thou' by Martin Buber, which was another one of those life changing things.

It talks about how people either have an 'I it' relationship with people or an 'I thou'. It means you vilify the other. And you lack empathy and 'I thou' is, this is human.
