“I’m The Party” (w/ Amy Poehler)

Wed, 23 Apr 2025

Description

Matt + Bowen welcome one of their comedy heroes and the host of the excellent new Good Hang podcast AMY POEHLER to Las Culturistas! The boys are beyond excited to chat with this genuine JOY (IYKYK) of a person about the impact of Miss Piggy on popular culture and humanity at large, how life gets better in your fifties, and how important it is to date someone who knows when to leave the party. Also, being a mom to teen boys and loving it, Amy’s comedic impact on the queers, how everyone has the equivalent of a plastic spoon in their heads, and getting to the age where you no longer want to be “shook” (physically). All this, The Pitt, the good old days smoking from a bong, the bad old days jumping on a trampoline, drinking milk, drinking water and the fact that horror movies… are scary and sad!!! Stream Good Hang! And bow down to Amy P, who is absolutely one of the best to ever do it. What an honor to have her on Las Cultch. Two words: YES, PLEASE!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0

142.416 - 159.25 Matt

I can't tell if you're joking because Matt is one of our olive toned legends and you really must cherish this fact about yourself. I like- You've been, can I say as a platonic person in your life? Here we go. You looked really good this weekend. Shut up.

0

159.431 - 161.532 Bowen Yang

Were you looking at my photos scantily clad?

161.952 - 166.456 Matt

I sort of went there in my photos. You could have withheld from posting and yet you didn't.

166.476 - 166.816 Bowen Yang

I didn't want to.

167.316 - 176.904 Matt

And one of the sort of fringe things that happens, one of the fringe consequences is that sometimes your friends go, oh. Sometimes your friends get a little chub for you. It's actually rule of culture number 16.

176.944 - 201.658 Bowen Yang

Sometimes your own friends get a little chub for you. Sometimes your own friends get a little chub for you. Well, thanks. Awkward. Wait, can I say? Lucky for you, though, because I now went to weekend one. We're going to weekend two. It's going to be 20 degrees colder. In a good way. Yes. It's going to be in the mid-70s for my legend. The gods said it's Bowen Yang's first Coachella. Cool it down.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of Victoria Frankenstein in Universal's new theme park?

379.191 - 395.116 Bowen Yang

They turned it. You know what we need to do? We need to do Abbott and Costello meet the monsters, but Matt and Bowen meet the monsters. Yes. I'm pitching this to Universal. Have us meet the Wolfman. I'm serious. This is a film franchise. This is Matt and Bowen meet Dracula, meet the Bride of Frankenstein.

395.196 - 396.557 Matt

Meet Victoria Frankenstein.

396.657 - 410.469 Bowen Yang

Oh. We're coming for her. Have you heard about Victoria Grant Frankenstein? The great granddaughter of... Well, let's ask her after we bring her in. She's a legend. Everyone, please welcome Amy Poehler!

410.529 - 412.211 Amy Poehler

Hi! That was like being at my own funeral.

414.428 - 415.73 Bowen Yang

floating above the casket.

415.75 - 416.811 Amy Poehler

Yes, I was dissociating.

417.252 - 420.717 Bowen Yang

Like rise like the monsters. Have you heard about Victoria Frankenstein?

420.917 - 421.699 Amy Poehler

Oh my gosh, I don't know.

421.719 - 426.145 Bowen Yang

We asked Tina the same exact thing in her episode. Did she tell you?

Chapter 3: Why do Amy Poehler and Bowen discuss theme parks and sobriety?

506.016 - 506.416 Bowen Yang

All right.

0

506.616 - 508.017 Amy Poehler

Sorry. I know it's lame.

0

508.037 - 512.138 Bowen Yang

First of all, we are the ones who should probably take a seat.

0

512.978 - 514.978 Amy Poehler

Our guide was talking about you too.

0

515.158 - 517.519 Bowen Yang

Wait. Okay. Was it Sam? Yeah. Lovely.

518.019 - 520.72 Amy Poehler

And he had the best time with you.

520.86 - 527.283 Bowen Yang

We had the best time with him. And he was really a classic. He was the perfect prototype of what you want that person to be. Oh, yeah.

527.483 - 529.343 Amy Poehler

Disney World is overwhelming.

529.524 - 529.964 Bowen Yang

Oh, yes.

Chapter 4: How do Amy Poehler and Bowen Yang describe aging and health concerns like osteoporosis?

1072.529 - 1075.651 Bowen Yang

Think about how great it was. There's something that's just so great about it.

0

1075.731 - 1076.231 Matt

You know what I mean?

0

1076.271 - 1087.378 Amy Poehler

You know what I'm saying? No, I have a basic bitch, like white girl Stanley that I love because I like to sip it like a gerbil. Like I like the straw and I like to be like...

0

1088.098 - 1107.264 Bowen Yang

This is the second episode in a row that gerbils have come up. There's something in the culture about gerbils. Like they're back. Oh shit, guinea pigs. Rodents at large are having a moment. No, but that's what I'm saying is like when I was growing up, it was not water on the table. I'll tell you what there was. A Coke, a diet Coke, and a Sprite, two liters each.

0

1107.884 - 1109.264 Amy Poehler

Don't forget about milk, babe.

1109.604 - 1119.517 Matt

I was just going to say, we shared this thing. We came up when milk was king. You would not get an osteoporosis, that's for sure.

1119.598 - 1123.059 Amy Poehler

You would chug a glass of milk. At least. Once a day.

1123.239 - 1140.708 Bowen Yang

They said two. There was a time they were saying two. It was like Cindy Crawford on the cover of whatever the fuck with her got milk mustache being like, if it's not two, you're going to die of osteoporosis. And one of the things I remember my Nana saying to me when I was little was she looked me in the eye and said, osteoporosis is not fun.

1141.588 - 1148.593 Matt

And I was, I'm like, and now I'm scared. And where is that in the culture now? Like, have we just forgotten about osteoporosis?

Chapter 5: What insights do Amy Poehler and Bowen share about their early comedy careers and influences?

1391.112 - 1395.855 Matt

We were there for- Talking about how with friends, acquaintances we have have been in that club for 48 hours.

0

1395.896 - 1397.717 Bowen Yang

Yeah, we know people that have been there for days.

0

1397.777 - 1400.799 Matt

We'll be like, let's see how long we last. We left after hour four.

0

1401.279 - 1420.121 Bowen Yang

It was maybe five or six. And it wasn't because it was just like not it was it was great. We were the best time. But we were like, oh, you know what? We'll go home. We'll catch some Z's. We'll come back later. I text Bo and I'm like, can I say something? What if we didn't go back? What if? And then we walked to a museum and walked back because we realized we had to pay.

0

1420.641 - 1425.745 Bowen Yang

So what did we do that afternoon? We walked to the museum and walked back. Didn't even go into the museum. We had a burger.

1425.805 - 1429.007 Amy Poehler

I'm here to tell you that if you enjoy that now, the future is very bright.

1429.408 - 1429.948 Bowen Yang

Oh, I'm happy.

1430.028 - 1446.14 Amy Poehler

Because best decade yet for me, 50s by far best decade. Way better. And also, I have to say to your point, Bowen, like women my age or the age in our 50s, it used to be kind of like maiden mother crone. Those were the maiden mother crone, right?

1446.2 - 1446.3 Bowen Yang

And

Chapter 6: How does Amy Poehler reflect on motherhood and raising teenage boys?

1973.345 - 1974.186 Amy Poehler

1980.834 - 2002.821 Opportunity at Work Narrator

I always had to be so good no one could ignore me. Carve my path with data and drive. But some people only see who I am on paper. The paper ceiling. The limitations from degree screens to stereotypes that are holding back over 70 million stars. Workers skilled through alternative routes rather than a bachelor's degree. It's time for skills to speak for themselves.

2013.601 - 2034.461 Anna Sinfield

The number one hit true crime podcast, The Girlfriends, is back with something new, The Girlfriends Spotlight. Our first two series introduce you to an incredible gang of women who teamed up to fight injustice, showing just how powerful sisterly solidarity can be. We're keeping this mission alive with The Girlfriends Spotlight.

2035.606 - 2061.292 Anna Sinfield

Each week, a different woman sits down with me, Anna Sinfield, to share their incredible story of triumph over adversity. Like June, who founded an all-female rock band in the 1960s. I might as well have said, we're going to walk on the moon. But she sure showed them who's boss and toured the world. They would just be gobsmacked and they would rush up after the set and say, not bad for chicks.

2062.012 - 2071.701 Anna Sinfield

So come and join our girl gang. Listen to The Girlfriend Spotlight on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

2078.908 - 2090.397 Dr. Maya Shankar

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar. I host a podcast called A Slight Change of Plans. I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us, and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it.

2090.778 - 2105.61 Amanda Knox

I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me, and the last thing I want to do is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out. This puzzle of my trauma, I have to figure it out, and I have to figure it out now.

Chapter 7: What is Amy Poehler's advice on life, career, and personal growth?

2536.224 - 2546.87 Matt

Pre-TikTok things that would have taken off on TikTok. Now, I know this sounds so cloying and obnoxious, but it's true. Like Matt and I would like start like song, like- Oh yeah, we had tunes.

2551.673 - 2561.316 Bowen Yang

Four Nights in Orlando, which was our American horror story. But every episode was 15 seconds long. Every episode was 15 seconds long in Orlando. We would go, we would be on about a metric ton of edibles.

0

2561.856 - 2565.137 Matt

And we would- And shoot like horror anthologies at Disney World.

2565.617 - 2566.298 Amy Poehler

Oh my God.

2566.678 - 2568.378 Matt

It's out there. It is out there.

2568.598 - 2571.219 Bowen Yang

If you go deep in the Instagrams, they are there.

But we were- What was the horror anthology called?
