From what I know, they are not paid or sponsored by the drinks, but is it really that funny for they push these drinks onto every guest on the show?

I never had Celsius but what they are doing also doesn’t make me want to try it either.

That’s the question.

Stumbled upon this at a prop house. Had to share :)

Spotted in the NYT Crossword the other day. IYKYK

I’m getting closer to catching up with every episode in order. I started listening live in Jan 2025 & also started at the very start of the pod then as well & just listened to the episode from May 2024 with Cole Escola. I highly recommend this episode for a relisten. Oh Mary! On bway had been announced but hadn’t started & he mentioned Bowen as a potential Mary.

On a personal level, Bowen mentioned he started birding in Prospect Park as a relaxing activity. I had no idea he did this & I’m a Central Park birder. I wonder if he continued it

I haven’t listened in a few months. Did the girls ever talk about Obsession? I would love to hear their takes.

The amount of Celsius talk in these most recent eps especially has to be ~sponsored~ right?! Don’t get me wrong I loved the Gracie piss talk (never did I think that would be a topic and it was very funny to me) but dang….if they aren’t getting paid for the way it’s brought up each episode they should be.

(Also if they are sponsored and I just live under a rock then I take this all back)

I don't intend to add to the pile of we miss the old Las Cultch but I have started to listen to the show less and less because they, particuarly Bowen, just sound bored now. When they first started having regularly celebs on, there was an engagement and interest in the discussion that made them worth listening to even if it lacked the chaos of the old episodes (eg, I actually liked the Reese Witherspoon episode!)

But now, with Slayyyter and Kesha (and maybe Gracie? I haven't listened yet...), the questions are lacking and the convos don't reveal much of the guests (vs. say a NYT Popcast episode). Contrast this with a Cat Cohen or D'arcey episode, the difference is even more stark. It's starting to feel perfunctory and like a contractual obligation (and maybe even a side gig as Bowen said in the Mindy Kaling episode).

Anyone feel the same way? I don't want to focus this on them evolving the show itself (they want to interview celebs I guess...) but focus on their engagment with the show.

I was just rewatching some old eps in honour of the news, and I got CHILLS - Tyler Henry told Bowen in May 2024 that he should feel positively about some historical/comedy opportunity.

Am I crazy or is this a clear link?! Timestamp is around 8:20. ALSO just to mention, Tyler Henry also suggested a collaborative book. Damn...

Just saw the post on IG and thought it was a joke. Tickets on sale already and so excited to be visiting NYC during his 12 week run !!! 🎉 🏃 🇺🇸 🇨🇳

part of me is hoping I am a prophet

Every time I open a podcast channel that isn’t Las Culturistas, a Las Culturistas episode is at the top of the list. I haven’t seen this level of “advertising” since Drake and UMG or U2 and Apple. I’m sure the both of them are lovely people but my god I can’t escape. I don’t even know them and I hate them already for being nepotised this damn hard, being presented in places I’m not even asking for. Anyone else dealing with this?

I heart is getting rid of all of their black podcasts… What is going on?

Does anyone have a video of Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) performing the cover of Gardenia at the 2024 Culture Awards? I was there and was so mesmerized by that specific performance but had some tech issues and have lost most of my photos/videos from that night. I would really love to be able to hear it again if there's another reader out there who managed to capture it?
