Our Editor's Take

Comedians Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang call themselves "culture consultants." On Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, they give their uproarious reactions to all the latest cultural developments. The podcast is witty and sometimes harsh. But it also reflects the warmth and rapport of the hosts' long friendship.

The content varies for each episode, depending on what is happening in pop culture and the hosts' busy lives. But Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang has a signature segment. Most episodes end with "I Don't Think So, Honey." They get 60 seconds to gripe about something ticking them off that week. Listeners liked this segment so much that Rogers and Yang did an entire "I Don't Think So, Honey," tour. More than 50 comedians joined to deliver their own rants.

After this podcast began, Saturday Night Live put Yang on TV. He was the first-ever featured player to get an Emmy nomination. Rogers hosted a Christmas special for Showtime and costars in the network's I Love That for You. And both Yang and Rogers acted in the movie Fire Island. But Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang is where the two first started building a following.

The New Yorker says, "the show manages to be both acidic and warm, like a steaming cup of Tang for the mind." Listeners who like to keep up with pop culture and laugh simultaneously should try Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

It's Time! (w/ Mariah Carey)
It's a moment. Mariah Carey? She's on Las Cultch, darling. Matt & Bowen adorn themselves with festive garb to welcome Queen of Christmas, adverb legend and all around music GOAT to the pod. M & B ask MC when to expect the follow up to Caution (and get an answer!), Mariah's "sensory" songwriting process and BTS of the creation of classic songs like "Hero". The three go on to discuss the iconic "Heartbreaker" music video villain BIANCA and her origins, how the Grammys trifle with Mariah and it's unacceptable, the formative Butterfly album's impact, how The Emancipation of Mimi put Mariah back on top, performing on SNL way back in 1990, memories from Mariah's iconic Tokyo Dome show, setting the convention of hip hop features on pop tracks, and the emotional rollercoaster that was writing and recording her terrific memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey. Also, the inspiration of Michael Jackson, Prince and Marilyn Monroe, the difficulty growing up biracial on Long Island, potentially rebooting Divas Live, beating Tina Fey at Mean Girls trivia, and casting the role of Mariah in Lee Daniels's adaptation of her memoir. Mariah reveals her top 3 favorite Disney rides, talks vocal stacking alongside the incredible Brandy, and ponders dropping her grunge album already! All this, Hoda and Jenna's emotional morning on Today, "Boxing Day" and Mariah's already iconic I Don't Think So, Honey on overhead lighting! Check out Mariah's newest collab with Amazon Music: it's a holiday decor line available October 31st at Amazon.com/MariahCarey! AND THEN A HERO *CAME* ALONG! We love you, Mariah.
