POPULARITY
This week the guys had a "Pop Roulette" and it got interesting with them. What's going on with the Wild and Gophers? Are the Vikings the real deal? Also we bashed Matt on his favorite things. That and Tinder bio's! Thanks to 7th Ave Pizza, Erbert and Gerberts of Bemidji, BettorEdge.com (use the promo code "bbs" for free $20 when you sign up) and Hard Times for hosting us!

Comedian Matt Rogers (Las Culturistas, Gaymeshow, Pop Roulette, UCB's Characters Welcome) discusses growing up closeted in Long Island.
This week, the Pop Rocket panel has some extra help to talk about the 5 years and 6 seasons of Girls that ended this past Sunday from the New York based comedy duo Las Culturistas. As you can imagine, the gang has a lot to say during this post mortem. They talk about whether we got closure from the final episode, and whether Lena should have just stopped at the penultimate episode. Did the producers of Girls do enough to deal with the lack of racial diversity on the show over the 5 years? What role did nudity and sex play on show, and why was it so refreshing? Was Elijah used as a trophy and crutch or seen as a peer by Hannah? And did we think that this was a genuinely funny show? All of these questions will be answered, plus Bowen and Wynter are all about new video games, and Matt can't stop listening to the new Gaga. In lieu of jams this week, we get a master class in the signature segment on the Las Culturistas podcast, "I Don't Think So Honey"-- things get rowdy. We also want to thank everyone who donated during the MaxFun Drive this year, and give a particular shoutout to those who donated on our shows behalf. Tweet at us if you made a donation to us and didn't receive your voicemail from Karen Tongson. If you will be in the Los Angeles area this Friday, April 21st, make sure to check out Matt and Bowen's improv group Pop Roulette at UCB Sunset at 10:30 p.m. Guy Branum, Karen Tongson, Wynter Mitchell, and Bowen Yang, and Matt Rogers Each week we’ll add everyone’s jams to this handy Spotify playlist.
