Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

Who? Them? With us? Yes! It’s the podcasting event of the century for a very specific type of person as the hosts of the iconic and hilarious Who Weekly? — Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber — finally join Matt + Bowen to talk about their fantastic new book I Want To Be Famous: When Everybody and Nobody is a Celebrity. The group discuss what it feels like to have started their podcasting at the same time ten years ago and arrive wherever we all are now, the concept of “Who-dom” and “Them-dom” and why both are important in a pop culture eco-system, and Rita Ora. Also, VH1, “I Love the 80’s” and its equally formative spinoffs, and Lacey Chabert. All this, Waterworld, the Girls revival, and Bethenny Frankel. You MUST get this book. Reader? We mean it. Xo!

Popular culture’s Ariana Madix is finally on Las Cultch! She does it all, so she DISCUSSES it all with Matt + Bow this week, including playing Connie Francis in Just In Time on Broadway and puttin’ the nasal twang in her voice to do so, being “friends with” tons of Disney characters (IYKYK) during her storied Orlando tenure, and taking her rightful place as the Rod Serling of our generation as the Emmy-nominated host of the biggest and most viral reality show in the world, Love Island. Also, walking in slo-mo without doing too much, the impact of good old fashioned Nick At Nite classics like I Love Lucy and Bewitched, and learning to be okay with being misunderstood by the public. All this, and the emotional lore that connects Matt + Bowen, the set of Wicked, Ariana Madix and Chappell Roan. Ariana just extended her stay with Just In Time, so get thee to the Circle In The Square!

Hold Matt + Bowen’s one purse that they share, because it is time for the FINAL WORD on the Kelly Clarkson vs. Art of Play fiasco. Today, an unpacking of October 2026’s unlikeliest celebrity feud, and how Kelly Clarkson somehow had the most controversial autumn of anyone in media. Also, Bowen walks us through why they really say “AI isn’t going anywhere”, rave reviews for Troye Sivan’s incredible new album She’s The Best, and… comparative literature on Las Cultch? Kind of! Matt saw The Social Reckoning and Digger and has thoughts. All this, the shit gay guys say and do on dates, shopping Julia Fox’s closet on accident for a good cause, how Bowen once disappointed Rosalía, and the definitive Top 5 Witches of Pop Culture. Somewhere, we just know that Molly is singing two words today, “Las Culturistaaaaaas!” *boom*
