“They Couldn’t Be Nicer Boys” (w/ Seth Meyers)
Surprise, our best late night host also happens to be a perfect podcast guest? And speaking of surprises, Matt surprises Bow with his favorite Percy Pigs (sourced by the angelic Emily Phillips!) and it’s off to the races! From unique “A” names to 5am gambling, Seth docks into a wide berth of topics with the boys. Listen with misty eyes as they discuss the Hard Rock Hotel in Tampa, that feeling when you crush a character set at 24 years old, and finally(!) getting on board with listening at 1.75x speed. Plus the metacomedy of “May December” at upcoming awards shows and the enduring beauty of “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” Listen for Seth’s impeccable Garry Marshall impression and won’t you try and guess which acclaimed actresses are obsessed with falling into pools and jumping on the bed as scene pitches? In any case, Seth Meyers really is the best, and the boys are very very excited to chat with him. Listen to “Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers” wherever you get your podcasts!

"You Shook Gaga" (w/ Matt & Bowen)
Bowen is a little sickstress this week, so he's invited Matt to his new home to record an episode of Las Cultch and contract whatever he has. Stanley cups in hand, the two discuss, well, pop cultural topics! "Such as?" you ask? Well, Chappell Roan and Troye Sivan's latest albums, RHONY, the "sweeps" TV culture of yesteryear, and an oversaturation of the espresso martini. Also, Bowen MET LADY GAGA, Matt has a haunted weekend in Long Island at the Chambers of Hell, and BOWEN MET LADY GAGA. All this, handwriting vs. typing, earnestness vs. earnesty, a live pop songwriting session, and the naming of the Actress of the Millenium. More like OCTOBER flush and OUR flannel cure (the flannel being this episode). Bye!
