Matt + Bowen welcome one of their comedy heroes and the host of the excellent new Good Hang podcast AMY POEHLER to Las Culturistas! The boys are beyond excited to chat with this genuine JOY (IYKYK) of a person about the impact of Miss Piggy on popular culture and humanity at large, how life gets better in your fifties, and how important it is to date someone who knows when to leave the party. Also, being a mom to teen boys and loving it, Amy’s comedic impact on the queers, how everyone has the equivalent of a plastic spoon in their heads, and getting to the age where you no longer want to be “shook” (physically). All this, The Pitt, the good old days smoking from a bong, the bad old days jumping on a trampoline, drinking milk, drinking water and the fact that horror movies… are scary and sad!!! Stream Good Hang! And bow down to Amy P, who is absolutely one of the best to ever do it. What an honor to have her on Las Cultch.

You know what they say: never waste ANY day on a bad podcast. And RPKFK's? You will not have that problem today because CHAPPELL ROAN is finally on Las Cultch! The pop superstar joins Matt & Bowen to discuss performing ballads vs. big synth pop songs, how it feels to cover a huge song like Bad Romance, and the difficulty of singing her huge hit "Good Luck, Babe!" live. Also, "Demo-itis" amongst stans, learning to give yourself grace both artistically and personally, and the literally unwinnable war against fame and the comment section. All this, a talkback on Bowen's Chappell-inspired "Moo Deng" character from Weekend Update, "service topping", "stone topping" and "sensory bottoming", the degree of difficulty when it comes to raising guinea pigs, Chappell's journey from uncomfortable drag show attendee to drag queen in her own right, cruising and pickup culture in the queer community, getting over "performative sex", and fairies as real muses. Have you ever had your phone stolen in West Hollywood? Does your coffee give you coffee breath? Are YOUR teeth fucked (laudatory)? Think on these questions and stream "The Giver" now, wherever you personally do that! And, as always, keeeeep onnnnn daaaaaancccciiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Four Seasons Ambassador" (w/ Natasha Rothwell)
It's an episode years in the making as The White Lotus's Natasha Rothwell joins Matt & Bowen on Las Culturistas! These three have so much to talk about, as they all have history grinding it out in New York comedy back at UCB, The PIT and as members of Story Pirates! It's giving long shared history! Bowen and Natasha connect on experiences as SNL writers turned successful performers, and Natasha talks about playing in one successful ensemble after another and tending to play characters who "carry the torch of empathy". Also, Grease as an Austenian text, playing Mama Rose in high school opposite a very gay Herbie, the challenges that come with developing social boundaries and "the guilt tax" you pay when you choose yourself, meeting and thanking John Waters at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, and accepting awards for the great show How To Die Alone after it was cancelled. There's also obviously a ton of White Lotus talk, including the differences between Belinda in seasons 1 and 3, this season's exploration of adult female friendship, and Lalisa's great performance and overall superstardom. You don't like gay incest? Grow up! And no, stranger in Target, Natasha is not going to tell YOU any spoilers! You just gotta watch, and you should! The White Lotus airs Sunday nights on HBO, but you already knew that shit! We love Natasha, who is one of the all time greats. And this episode? You know what that is?
