00:00Hey, guess who's looking like Pippi Longstocking's up in here?
00:06Hey y'all, I'm Phoebe Robinson.
00:08I'm your host and with me today is actress, comedian, future hair model.
00:14I mean, look at them curls.
00:15I'm talking about the one and only Lauren Adams.
00:18Hi!
00:19Tell the folks at home a little bit something about yourself.
00:21You may know me from the Netflix show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
00:24I'm also from the great state of Maryland.
00:25I also consider myself a dog pervert.
00:27So, um...
00:28Okay.
00:28Uh, if your dog is tall enough and it walks by me on the street,
00:33I will drive by pet your dog.
00:34I will put my hand out and I will pet your dog without asking your permission.
00:37You guys know the drill.
00:38Each week, myself and a lovely co-host celebrate a famous guy for being hot,
00:43smart AF, and affecting positive change in the world.
00:47We're talking about a guy so woke that you'll want to read him the book,
00:50Go the Fuck to Sleep, so he'll start sleeping and stop making amazing points
00:53because you just can't handle them anymore.
00:55This guy is so fine that he makes you want to go half on a baby and a Blue Apron
01:00account.
01:00Hashtag commitment, y'all.
01:02Who could this mystery guy be, Lauren?
01:06Lin-Manuel Miranda!
01:08Yeah!
01:09Woo-hoo!
01:10Hell yeah!
01:11Hell yeah!
01:12Hell yeah!
01:13Fucking right!
01:14He's a rapper.
01:15A Broadway pioneer.
01:16Grammy and Tony winner.
01:18He's the bestie of President Barack Obama.
01:21And he's our Woke Bay of the Week!
01:23Hit him out!
01:23Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius.
01:26Literally.
01:27I'm not kidding.
01:27In 2015, he won the MacArthur Genius Grant,
01:30which means that people were so impressed with his one-of-a-kind creativity
01:33through his musicals In the Heights and Hamilton that they awarded him a stipend of $625,000
01:38over the course of five years with no strings attached.
01:42Free money for his brain.
01:43Plus, he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize at the age of 29.
01:49What?
01:50At 29?
01:51You wanna know what I was doing?
01:52At 29, I was re-watching episodes of Dawson's Creek.
01:57I've never been so alive.
02:00You got to see Hamilton IRL.
02:02I'm so jealous.
02:03Yeah, I cried almost the whole time.
02:06Yeah, it's inspiring to people of color to see that they can be true to themselves
02:09and have the career that they want.
02:11Plus, the women in the show are great examples of feminism.
02:14They're smart rather than just being decoration for a man's story.
02:17Lin is winning awards.
02:19He's the toast of the town.
02:20Very smart.
02:21But those aren't the only reasons he's bae.
02:23He's also bae because...
02:25Of his hair!
02:27Lauren, that's not what I was gonna say, but okay.
02:29No.
02:29Seriously, Pheebs, his hair is so good.
02:33It's the waterfalls that TLC warned us about.
02:35Like, they're so beautiful but we can't handle them.
02:37Like, don't chase them.
02:38I kinda wanna, like, scalp him like Lucy Liu did that guy in Kill Bill.
02:41You know what I'm saying?
02:42What?
02:43Like, that's a compliment.
02:44I'm saying his hair is so good that I, like, wanna wear it.
02:47You know what I mean?
02:49Like...
02:49So, in honor of Lin-Manuel being our woke bae of the week,
02:53Lauren and I have prepared this little wrap for you.
02:55We did?
02:56Yep.
02:56No, we didn't prepare anything.
02:57One, two, three, let's go!
03:00Okay.
