-We're back with Bowen Yang. -Did everyone in the audience
have a Celsius or something? Everyone is so pumped up.
-It's a really nice crowd. -It's such a nice crowd.
Wow. -It's Monday night.
Bowen's here. -Uh-huh. -You did a sketch
called "Bowen Straight." -Yes.
-A couple of weeks ago. -Uh-huh.
-With Sydney Sweeney. -Right.
-There you are
with Sydney Sweeney. and then in the end, you hooked up with
Gina Gershon. -Yes.
-Who is -- who's, like, just been white hot for,
like, three decades now. -Decades. Decades.
-Yeah. -Yeah, I got to
tell you guys something. You know, when, like,
you have a head injury and you, like, can't see colors
quite right? -Yeah. -I feel like I got hit
in the head by these two women, and I'm still a little straight.
-Really? -I think. [ Laughs ]
-So you just did -- you did, like, some comedy
straight and, like, a little bit stuck.
-I think -- Like, I understand
why Austin Butler talked like Elvis for
a while after the movie. -It took a few months. -So, like, I think
for a couple more weeks, I'm still -- I'm still straight.
Ladies, get in there. -Yeah, it's interesting
because Austin Butler was here last week, right? Ever since he's left,
I might be a little bit gay. -Yeah. There you go. Funny.
-It just happens. -Yeah.
-It just happens. You were dark a couple of
weeks ago, and you went upstate. -I did.
-Are you -- I don't take you to be
a sort of nature-y, get out -- -I think I got it
out of my system from growing up in Colorado,
which I love, but going upstate was great. I stayed at a place where --
Wild Flower Farm. I hope I get one free night
out of this. Where you get to wake up
and you go -- you go and feed chickens, and you pick the eggs
that they lay, and then you bring them
to breakfast, and the chef cooks them for you. Cooks you an omelet.
It's incredible. And then I went on a hike
and then -- 40 beautiful minutes,
and then I fell on my ass. Uh-huh.
-Ate absolute "S" word, and then went home. I was like, that's enough nature
for one -- -Home to the hotel or just home
to the city? -I think -- Home to the hotel.
But then soon after, the city. -Right. Yeah.
You just fell on the mountain and just slid all the way
back to Manhattan. This is the second season
of "Hot White Heist." -Yes.
-Do you enjoy -- it's an incredible cast. -Amazing cast.
-Really fun story. -Sir Ian McKellen, Jane Lynch,
Cynthia Nixon, Joel Kim Booster, Sarah Ramirez, Raul Esparza --
like<i> daddy</i> of all daddies -- and Tony Kushner, fantastic.
-Fantastic. So this is -- obviously,
this is about a heist. Have you in your life
ever stolen anything? -I have not,
but I have witnessed someone, a close friend of mine
who I will not name, but who hosts
a podcast with me. -Okay.
-We were at a bodega. We were, like,
22 years old, okay? And were hurting for cash.
We went to a bodega and this man steals a strawberry shortcake
ice cream from the freezer. And thankfully, this lovely
bodega keep ran out after him and was like, "Give that back."
And he was like, "Fine." And then just like,
rolled his eyes and handed it back
so,<i> so</i> nonchalantly. And so I have also been in
an ice cream scandal. [ Laughs ] Like.
-This is -- I -- And again, I'm not going to name
this person either, but I do want to stress,
they do host a podcast with you. -They do host a podcast with me. -I will say, and, you know,
I don't know him. Can I guess him?
-No. -Could I guess him?
-You may guess -Okay, as well
as I know you, but I do -- I love --
everything I know, he would roll his eyes
if he got caught. -He would roll his eyes
if he got caught shoplifting. I called to make sure he was
okay with me sharing this story. And now I think this gives him
fodder to throw me under the bus next time
he's on this show. -Oh, wonderful.
-Yes, it's Matt Rogers. Okay? It's Matt Rogers. -Ice cream thief.
-Ice cream thief. -Reformed --
Reformed ice cream thief. -Reformed ice -- We would never
do anything like that today. -Yeah.
-Truly. -It's really funny. I mean,
also it must be like a dream, to be a bodega owner
and run out and be like, "Give that back!" and them be
like, "All right, all right." -Yeah. So frictionless. -Yeah.
-Yeah yeah, yeah. No pushback. -Went home and was like,
"It actually went well." -[ Laughs ]
Could have gone much worse. -Thank you so much
for being here. -Thanks for having me.
-Congrats on everything. Bowen Yang, "SNL," March 30th,
with host Ramy Youssef and Travis Scott. "Hot White Heist"
streaming on Audible. We'll be right back
with Kara Swisher.
