“KUNTUMN” (w/ Sudi Green)
If you thought Summer of KUNT was dead, well… maybe you would be right actually. Or MAYBE you would see it as an opportunity to herald the arrival of the first ever KUNTUMN, during which returning legend Sudi Green inspires us all to get in our full woman-in-her-30s bag. Join the boys as they record from a Las Cultch Cultural Heritage Site (Matt’s LA apartment) and talk the first episodes of “The Morning Show” season three. What follows is a spirited discussion on Lauren Boebert’s perfectly moving hair during her game of Find the Sausage at “Beetlejuice,” what Matt and Bowen would order at any given restaurant, affirmation water bottle culture, and if comedy is “hee HEE ha-ho, ha HA hee HAY” or “ho HA HA hey-hey HEE ha hoi.” All that plus a debut of Matt’s latest song “When Two Men Kiss (It Is Amazing)” and a test to see if “Reba has no top lip” is a good conversation starter. As Sudi Green may have once said to a little girl, “Diva, welcome to America, baby.” It’s more of THIS every KUNTUMN.
