Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
"Fairy Drag Queen Guinea Pig" (w/ Chappell Roan)
Wed, 16 Apr 2025
You know what they say: never waste ANY day on a bad podcast. And RPKFK's? You will not have that problem today because CHAPPELL ROAN is finally on Las Cultch! The pop superstar joins Matt & Bowen to discuss performing ballads vs. big synth pop songs, how it feels to cover a huge song like Bad Romance, and the difficulty of singing her huge hit "Good Luck, Babe!" live. Also, "Demo-itis" amongst stans, learning to give yourself grace both artistically and personally, and the literally unwinnable war against fame and the comment section. All this, a talkback on Bowen's Chappell-inspired "Moo Deng" character from Weekend Update, "service topping", "stone topping" and "sensory bottoming", the degree of difficulty when it comes to raising guinea pigs, Chappell's journey from uncomfortable drag show attendee to drag queen in her own right, cruising and pickup culture in the queer community, getting over "performative sex", and fairies as real muses. Have you ever had your phone stolen in West Hollywood? Does your coffee give you coffee breath? Are YOUR teeth fucked (laudatory)? Think on these questions and stream "The Giver" now, wherever you personally do that! And, as always, keeeeep onnnnn daaaaaancccciiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Chapter 1: Who is Chappell Roan and how did she get started in music?
But when I heard about that, I was like, oh, that makes sense to me. Like, I can't, I don't want to just hook up with people I just met. Like, that is why I'm so uncomfortable when I'm hit on.
Yeah.
Like, because I'm like, I don't know you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.
And that is why I get myself in trouble and date my friends. And then, like, you know what I mean? That is always what happens. And so, like, that's why I'm so, it's such a turnoff when people, like, are so bold at the beginning. Yeah. Because I'm like, I don't know.
You gotta watch those anyway. If people are really bold at the beginning, my experience is, okay, this is for you. You know what I mean? Like, we've experienced some love bombing, and I'm sure we all have, and it's like, there's no way you're like this. Yeah. I've even asked the question. I've sat back, cocked the brow, and been like, how? How can you be this? And then they have another line.
What's the line? The one I got was... We deserve to have good things. We're good people. And I was just like... Where'd you read that?
Motherfucker. Where'd you read that? Next. Think of something smarter.
Snapplecap. But some... But people like... Period. Snapplecap. Snapplecap. I'm never surprised anymore... when people have rehearsed the whole thing. Like, you find out later they had a bit that they were going to do when you sat down at whatever it is they were meeting. Like, they researched things to say to you up top with your friends, especially someone like you, I would imagine.

Chapter 2: What challenges does Chappell Roan face performing ballads versus synth pop songs live?
That's My daughter, man, who my wife has always said is just a beardless, dickless version of me. And that's the name of our podcast, Beardless Dickless Me. I'm the old one. I'm the young one. And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard. Sounds innocent, doesn't it? A lot of cussing. A lot of bad language. It's for adults only. Or listen to it with your kid. Could be a family show.
We're not quite sure. We're still figuring it out.
It's a work in progress.
Listen to Beardless Dickless Me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Clayton English. I'm Greg Glod. And this is season two of the War on Drugs podcast.
Yes, sir. We are back. In a big way. In a very big way. Real people, real perspectives.
This is kind of star-studded a little bit, man.
We got Ricky Williams, NFL player, Heisman Trophy winner. It's just a compassionate choice to allow players... All reasonable means to care for themselves.
Music stars Marcus King, John Osborne from Brothers Osborne. We have this misunderstanding of what this quote-unquote drug man.
