Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

It was cold this morning. So very cold. So cold that a deep chill permeated every inch of my body. I almost stayed in bed; I almost let it defeat me. But I've seen enough of this life to know that if I could only get out the door, only survive the subway, and only burrow into my office, I could pour myself a steamy, creamy, delicious cup of Las Culturistas - and the chill would be obliterated. And...

When the children sit around years from now and reflect back on their favorite episode of Las Culturistas, you will hear all sorts of "expected" responses: Rachel Bloom's "Wedding"! Pat Regan's "Nicolette"! Josh and Aaron's six hour long Drag Race episode! And sure, all the sheep will nod along. But there will be some, let us call them "the cool kids," who will pick their heads up knowingly and cr...

Legalize Oatmeal Raisin! The talented, warm, and LA-Bound powerhouse Blair Socci is in studio to talk about religion, dating, competitive surfing, Jagged Little Pill (!), and her idol: Gwen Stefani. Matt shares some of his father's aphorisms (to an unreceptive Bo). Bowen talks about the time Jude Law broke his heart (to a very receptive Matt)! And yes they talk about Scandal, and trips to Mexico,...

ONE NIGHT ONLY: Mike Kelton is such a radiant beam of light that Matt and Bowen are forced to swap out the negative "I Don't Think So, Honey" segment for the extremely positive and uplifting "Yaz Hunni!" segment! And YAZ HUNNI, Bowen does his about Hot and Spicy Cheez-Its! But if you think that's all this episode has going for it, then you are sorely mistaken. Of COURSE Matt lists the credits; of...

Warning: this episode is a "whirlwind of culture" and no one is safe! Las Culturistas go deep on Beyonce, Kanye, Kelly Clarkson, Donald Glover, the service industry, and Jaboukie's socialist co-op. Matt tells a disturbing/ hilarious story of a wild night in Chicago. Bowen passionately attacks the abuses of the ice-cream industry. Jaboukie regales the room with heroic "quitting the job" stories. It...

A podcast FEAST! The one-and-only JO FIRESTONE, one of my favorite comedians of all time, joins Matt and Bowen to talk the power of Demi Lovato, the horrors of catering, and the nuisance of not having a butt. Bowen shares his (bizarre) love of airplane food, and Matt hilariously rails against a homophobic woman on the subway. Everyone sings and sounds GREAT, obviously. And perhaps I'm biased but I...

Chirp chirp! Matt and Bowen, demanding a "good ol' fashioned queer" be in studio, summon the singular Tim Murray! Tim demands that Las Culturistas get INTO (what some might call) the defining trio of modern culture: Tonya Harding, Hillary Clinton, and Ellen Pompeo. Bowen teaches the god-damn children about "Practical Magic" while Matt whips Kelly C fans into a god-damn lather over the upcoming alb...
