What does Mindy Kaling say about why award shows matter to her?
This is an IHR podcast. Guaranteed human. I survived nine months in captivity, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable, abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. These are stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clemens. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook. Each week we talk to someone in show business and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show.
We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, Adam Scott, Danny McBride, Ben Stillard, and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Look man. Oh I see my eye oh my boat look over there. Wow, is that culture? Yes. Goodness. Wow. Las Colchoristas. Ding dong dong lost culture's calling. There's a couple items of business to get to before we bring in our iconic guest. One, Fraser is here watching. Hey Fraser Owen Fraser Olin. He's here. This is his first episode of Lost Culture as a spectator because his favorite human being is in the room. Huge. It happens to be the guest, actually. Yeah, actually happens and we do. I'm S O L with my own man. I don't stand a chance against our guest, but that's fine. That's fine. I'd pick her too. Uh other orders of business. You can s watch or stream the Lost Culture's Culture Awards tonight. Tonight. As of this episode airing.
Um our other thing is airing. And And uh oh wow, I'm I'm really gosh, I have been more susceptible. What's going on with your body? Why do you touch your chest like touching my chest like this? I always get worried. The veil is s really thin right now. I was really like genuinely starstruck and nervous around our guests recently. I think it's really like genuine. Today is really no exception. Can I say I we so Fraser and I have been preparing for the episode and I said so he says the Mindy Project is my favorite show. I play it on repeat all the time. He says he's watched the entire series at least five or six times. It's it's at least it's it's it's it is it ha it has the patina of like a cheers now where it's like, Oh y that's your comfort watch.
So we watched the episode where Casey Wilson fucks Ike Barenholz. Really good stuff. I just love when good people get together and pretend to fuck on television. And that's a rule of culture number eight. I I just love when good people get together and pretend to fuck on television. And so that was a wonderful and joyous time. Um sort of reconnecting with that show. And guess what? There's a brand new one out, not suitable for work. You can stream most of it right now. And the f the last two episodes are gonna come out next week because today is June seventeenth, the day of the culture awards. Lots to stream out there for y'all. Running point. By the way, these are all stuff sh that our guest has created.
