Look, Matt.
**Bowen Yang** (0:01)
Where?
**Matt Rogers** (0:02)
Oh, I see. Wow. Bowen, look over there.
**Bowen Yang** (0:05)
Is that culture? Yes. Oh, wow.
**Jared Frieder** (0:08)
Las Culturistas.
**SPEAKER_5** (0:10)
Ding dong, Las Culturistas calling.
**Bowen Yang** (0:14)
Why the pregnant pause? Oh, wait, hold on. For podcasts or a visual medium, Matt and I synergistic again.
**Matt Rogers** (0:20)
It kind of keeps happening. So I come in today, and I think there's no way that Bowen is gonna wear a pop culture icon on his shirt today like I am, because I'm kind of giving my icon, Mariah, and you walk in clad in Bruce Lee. Clad in it.
**Bowen Yang** (0:33)
And I have my thing with Bruce Lee, which is just someone who looms large, but I don't like, I'm finally gonna come out as like a Bruce Lee stan. It's only in my bedroom, literally. You know that, I have that Italian poster of...
**Matt Rogers** (0:49)
This is a queer narrative.
**Bowen Yang** (0:50)
This is a queer narrative.
**Matt Rogers** (0:51)
It just existed in your bedroom as a child, and now it's roaring to life in public.
**Bowen Yang** (0:55)
Well, all these politicians out here saying, keep that in the bedroom, to me, directly.
**Matt Rogers** (1:00)
And you finally defied them.
**Bowen Yang** (1:03)
Here I am. Look at this.
**Matt Rogers** (1:04)
I love this cut and color on you.
**Bowen Yang** (1:06)
Cut and color.
**Matt Rogers** (1:07)
Similar to the cut and color on our guests. We got a lot of primary action happening in here. This is the day I meet my pen pal. This is like when you meet like, your pen pal from when you were young, but just adult version. I was gonna say like when you have like, cause you know when you were little, do they ever give you a pen pal from like, a far away school? Do you ever, your program ever do this?
**Bowen Yang** (1:28)
Yeah, I want to say once or twice, but so when I moved from Canada, all the kids wrote little postcards for me. Oh, that's so sweet. And then I think the first week we moved to Colorado, I was like, dad, where are the postcards? He was like, I can't find them. And I just couldn't, never read a single, of course. Still thinking about it all these years later.
**Matt Rogers** (1:47)
You could cry now, if you feel like there's still some left in the tank. Our guests would support it.
**Bowen Yang** (1:53)
Oh yeah, I haven't hydrated enough today.
**Matt Rogers** (1:55)
Well, I think-
**Bowen Yang** (1:56)
No, no, no, are you kidding me?
**Matt Rogers** (1:57)
You want some of our guests' Arctic vibe, which is in a cup and looks sick like poison?
**Bowen Yang** (2:04)
This is why Celsius doesn't come in a clear container. Let's get into it.
**Matt Rogers** (2:08)
Let's really get into it, what we came here to talk about today, which is what Celsius looks like in a clear container. Certainly not the excellent third album, it's a step forward.
**Bowen Yang** (2:17)
It's the third album down.
**Matt Rogers** (2:19)
Which was tough to do, because we were already pretty forward.
**Bowen Yang** (2:22)
100%.
**Matt Rogers** (2:22)
I went to that concert, bodies were hitting the ground.
**Bowen Yang** (2:25)
Bodies, oh.
**Matt Rogers** (2:26)
Bodies were hitting the ground. People were getting so overwhelmed, bodies were hitting the ground.
**Bowen Yang** (2:29)
Well, you were saying these girls were like, forming a circle, clutching each other.
**Matt Rogers** (2:33)
I've never seen anything like it.
Girls grabbed hands and created like a ring. And it didn't matter who else was there, it was their floor. And I was like, yes.
**Bowen Yang** (2:45)
Nothing in the circle. No.
**Matt Rogers** (2:46)
Well, then that's tough. Just their energy.
**Bowen Yang** (2:48)
Well, that's a lot of floor, that's a lot of area.
**Matt Rogers** (2:51)
If you wanted to get in there, you could have crawled under them. It just didn't feel right. It was their floor.
**Bowen Yang** (2:55)
I think you have something to say about that. You should address like, just taking up the area. Let's bring our guest in. She's incredible in every way. Everyone welcome.
**SPEAKER_5** (3:04)
Gracie Abrams!
**Matt Rogers** (3:06)
Take one more sip of Arctic.
**Gracie Abrams** (3:08)
Of Arctic piss.
Guys, this is the treat of my life to be here. And also, I don't want to speak. I just want to sip.
**SPEAKER_5** (3:17)
You know those fever dream moments?
**Bowen Yang** (3:19)
Yeah.
**Gracie Abrams** (3:20)
Oh, I have to speak.
