In the nine years since launching the show, Rogers and Yang have discussed the [joy of making music](https://www.tiktok.com/@mattrogerstho/video/7481317707967778078?lang=en "undefined") with [Lady Gaga](https://time.com/5845014/lady-gaga-chromatica-album-review/ "undefined"), [gay lakes](https://www.tiktok.com/@mattrogerstho/video/7371927257075502378?lang=en "undefined") with [Cole Escola](https://time.com/7023581/cole-escola/ "undefined"), and [bad veneers](https://www.instagram.com/p/DIgtsqguGUb/?hl=en "undefined") with [Chappell Roan](https://time.com/7021241/leave-chappell-roan-alone-essay/ "undefined"). Each episode ends with them holding space for their guests to air their grievances in a recurring segment called “I Don’t Think So, Honey,” in which the likes of [Charli XCX](https://time.com/collection/person-of-the-week-podcast/6986609/charli-xcx-interview-person-of-the-week/ "undefined"), [Mike Birbiglia,](https://time.com/7288041/mike-birbiglia-netflix-good-life-special-interview/ "undefined") and [Mariah Carey ](https://www.tiktok.com/@mattrogerstho/video/7425410509496732971?lang=en "undefined")are given 60 seconds to rant about their personal bugaboos. (They are also the hosts of their own annual [over-the-top send-up of awards shows](https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/las-culturistas-culture-awards-bravo-bowen-yang-matt-rogers-1236381658/ "undefined") where, in 2023, the [Cate Blanchett Award for Good Acting](https://www.vulture.com/2023/06/2023-las-culturistas-culture-awards-the-true-winners-losers.html "undefined") went to, well, [Cate Blanchett](https://time.com/6261268/cate-blanchett-women-of-the-year/ "undefined"), who sent in a brilliantly performed pretaped acceptance speech.) The duo also share their brutally honest takes on pop culture, current events, and their own personal lives. Though, as [Tina Fey warned them](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/n%5FNInpDZo44 "undefined") last year, as the pair’s popularity grows outside of the pod thanks to turns in popular movies like _Wicked_ (Yang) and TV shows such as _SNL_ (Yang, again) and [_Overcompensating_](https://time.com/7287058/adults-fx-review-overcompensating/ "undefined") (both Rogers and Yang), they may want to start keeping some of their opinions to themselves. Lucky for us, they have not totally reined it in just yet. Of course, _Las Culturista_ fans, better known as “Readers,” would expect nothing less than pure unadulterated chaos from Rogers and Yang, who have always preferred to serve their tea piping hot. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-best-podcasts/7303088/las-culturistas-with-matt-rogers-and-bowen-yang/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-best-podcasts/7303088/las-culturistas-with-matt-rogers-and-bowen-yang/"},"headline":"Las Culturistas With Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang","datePublished":"2025-07-23T11:16:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:52:22.930Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/100-best-podcasts/7303088/las-culturistas-with-matt-rogers-and-bowen-yang/","keywords":["podcasts","list","Podcast","Special Project"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9c5928838faad0ad/6998c86c83ec37c7b2c7ac96/Best-Podcasts-2025-Las-Culturistas-042.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Shannon Carlin","jobTitle":"Carlin is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/shannon-carlin/"}],"creator":"Shannon Carlin","articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9c5928838faad0ad/6998c86c83ec37c7b2c7ac96/Best-Podcasts-2025-Las-Culturistas-042.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/podcasts/","name":"podcasts"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-best-podcasts/7303088/las-culturistas-with-matt-rogers-and-bowen-yang/","name":"Las Culturistas With Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang"}}]}] ```
