Speaker 1: guest because he had his polyps chopped, polyps seared off. Baby.
Speaker 1: She was working with nodes, Mama the last she was
Speaker 1: working with nodes for several years, grading those course together.
Speaker 1: When we were finally shown photos of the throat, honey,
Speaker 1: it looked like a dangerous place. I never saw photos
Speaker 1: of the throat. But you know what, for a period
Speaker 1: of time, I loved the rast. But I mean, the
Speaker 1: rest was part of the whole vibe. But but I'm
Speaker 1: happy for our guests because now they have a pure,
Speaker 1: clean tone. The glottals are the glottals are clear after
Speaker 1: many weeks of vocal rest, Honey, And that was true
Speaker 1: gag to hear our guests silent for several weeks. Oh no,
Speaker 1: just I'm not reading you understanding. You love to talk,
Speaker 1: and that must have been a struggle, you bitch, Yes,
Speaker 1: so what character building? Okay, let's go through the credits.

Speaker 1: excited about it. We're gonna talk about that July eighteen.
Speaker 1: And what else do we have here? Oh, of course
Speaker 1: we are well well aware of this person from pap Roulette,
Speaker 1: a figure in our history. Are good Judy and our
Speaker 1: compatriot on our Orlando trips as well the story to
Speaker 1: Orlando trips, which we've just taken a new one as
Speaker 1: of late, so there's plenty of t to spill. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: please welcome and newly blonde. Please welcome our gact da.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Wow, what a drag through the mud
Speaker 1: we're talking about. It's amazing that you vocally transformed. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, bitch, like that was a drag through the mudd,
Speaker 1: and then you just hoisted me up high. It's like
Speaker 1: at the last is a roller coaster, you know, the
Speaker 1: how I do? She tears you down. I'm living and
Speaker 1: I'm here with my movie. Yes, I'm just saying in
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen, that would never have happened. Absolutely not. Girl.
Speaker 1: The chords missed each other every time. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: You know there was a can you explain what happened?
Speaker 1: And then what what was done? Okay, So basically, like
Speaker 1: long story short, I did something to my vocal cords
Speaker 1: at like probably like a stupid concert in like two
Speaker 1: thousand and ten, and had been compensating for the damage.
Speaker 1: I did that one day whatever that was for a
Speaker 1: long time. So these two polyps were small, and then
Speaker 1: over time they grew and it got to a point.
Speaker 1: You guys, remember I couldn't even you could. I could
Speaker 1: not phone it. I could wake up and like I
Speaker 1: could not answer the phone. Like it was terrible, Like
Speaker 1: I just could not speak. And I had a month
Speaker 1: after my insurance and like literally I think three weeks
Speaker 1: after we recorded my first episode, Like I went in,
Speaker 1: I went under the knife. The guy was like, um,
Speaker 1: so this guy had done many many surgeries. There were
Speaker 1: many assigned headshot in his office. Let me just say
Speaker 1: it was to the mat, to the Broadway masses, and
Speaker 1: so I felt comfortable and he was like he was like, well,
Speaker 1: there's two ways we can do it. We can either
Speaker 1: like use a cold serrate knife, or we can laser
Speaker 1: it off. And I was like okay, Like like what
Speaker 1: would you choose? I guess the laser because I don't
Speaker 1: like the idea. I don't know the vocabulary use cold
Speaker 1: serrated knife. It was just like it sounded hostile. Why
Speaker 1: would call it cold serrated? See, but here's the twist.
Speaker 1: So then I was like, well, which one are you
Speaker 1: more comfortable with. And he was like, I used the
Speaker 1: knife and I was like, and I said, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want the doctor to use whatever the doctor feels most
Speaker 1: comfortable with. Don't you agree? I know I do agree.
Speaker 1: So I was like, whatever you prefer to do this with,
Speaker 1: and and he was like, usually when I when I
Speaker 1: scope at throat and I see something like this, we
Speaker 1: recommend like six to twenty weeks of vocal therapy, which
Speaker 1: is what um our friend is going through right now. Yeah. Yeah. Um.
Speaker 1: So I was like, well, I don't have that time.
Speaker 1: I drop off my insurance in two weeks. And he
Speaker 1: was like, I think I can pencil you in. And
Speaker 1: I like, literally, oh, this guy like my life. Like
Speaker 1: he squeezed me and I went from diagnosis to surgery
Speaker 1: in two weeks. They chopped him off. I was completely
Speaker 1: loony aerial arial. My boyfriend and I had been dating
Speaker 1: for like maybe eight months, and he like woke me
Speaker 1: up on of anesthesia and was I couldn't speak for
Speaker 1: thirty thirty five days. I did not wait, that's how
Speaker 1: long it was. Thirty five days. I'm telling you. It
Speaker 1: was a retreat I didn't I actually did pay for.
Speaker 1: But like I mean like it was the retreat I
Speaker 1: didn't ask for. Like I had a marker board and
Speaker 1: I was coloring, and I was like writing, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm a talker, like and that was a
Speaker 1: problem towards the animal, Like I couldn't talk, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to because like sometimes you accidentally do it, like
Speaker 1: somebody bumps you on the subway and you go sorry,
Speaker 1: and then I would be like I would like feel
Speaker 1: my throat like shake, and but I could also hear
Speaker 1: like every now and then I would be like the
Speaker 1: waters and I would be like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: can just do it if I want to. But it
Speaker 1: was a rebirth and like it just like you know
Speaker 1: when when you're a comedian, you want to have cadence
Speaker 1: in your voice. You want to be able to tell
Speaker 1: a story with like you know, like your full studied
Speaker 1: musical theater. Yeah, like having my voice and like not
Speaker 1: being able to sing. It was this weird. It's what
Speaker 1: pushed me in the comedy direction. But ultimately I think
Speaker 1: it was for the best. But like, um, it just
Speaker 1: it really changed how I entered New York City, like
Speaker 1: what I was doing and where I was at. It
Speaker 1: was it just was like I can't do this anymore.
Speaker 1: In my memory, it flew by. But I was off
Speaker 1: the grid, man, I was like not and my my
Speaker 1: boyfriend was so like that. We were like so new
Speaker 1: in the relationship, and the way that he was there
Speaker 1: for me was just like, so you been living together
Speaker 1: at that point. Um, he'd been staying over like five
Speaker 1: nights a week. I mean, I loved you know what
Speaker 1: happens when you fucking he's ha ha, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: That ship was too much. But let me just say
Speaker 1: it was hard to keep my mouth. I'm not even
Speaker 1: gonna say, Okay, it was okay, bitch. I was making noises.
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, listen, the safest thing you could do
Speaker 1: during sex. U was no lost herself. He would call
Speaker 1: me Michael Jackson because all I would do about the
Speaker 1: house and be like, this is okay everyone, mym just
Speaker 1: like just without phonating, this is just just what would
Speaker 1: you look like if you were getting fucked but you
Speaker 1: couldn't make any noise. The crazy thing is you can't
Speaker 1: stop from making a noise. You listen to make noise.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, sex noises. We're open? Should we sing? Well, cameo,
Speaker 1: rude camoen, We're supposed to harmonize, you bitch. No, the
Speaker 1: moment over continue what we're gonna say. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that Dave and I had my apartment. We're just watching old, old,
Speaker 1: old videos of miss Kelly clarkson American Idol. She's just
Speaker 1: in such a good place. Now, I was I was
Speaker 1: pandering to Matt, you were, I was like, he was.
Speaker 1: He literally goes to me, We're over in my apartment.
Speaker 1: We're having glass one before this, and he goes to me,
Speaker 1: pull up a video of Kelly Clarkson. That's this was
Speaker 1: your idea? Well, he was. We were wating about what
Speaker 1: we started by watching other videos of a of a
Speaker 1: different celebrity on on a show which we should talk
Speaker 1: about with Katy Perry and American American. And I was
Speaker 1: just showing him Ada Box, the drag queen that actually
Speaker 1: sadly just got eliminated on American Idol. The vocal wasn't great,
Speaker 1: but it's still sad that you don't see the continue.
Speaker 1: But then we crossed over into the voice videos and
Speaker 1: he said, show me a recent video of Kelly singing
Speaker 1: as she sung on the show. And I was like,
Speaker 1: is this bit trying to pander to me right now?
Speaker 1: Why is he being nice to me? He's never positive
Speaker 1: about Kelly Clarkson. You always have something sharp to say.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just I guess, I just the way that
Speaker 1: the way you like get emotional about her sort of
Speaker 1: makes me sick in a way that I make myself
Speaker 1: sick sometimes with the way in which I speak about
Speaker 1: these Gaga And sometimes I'm like, oh, Dave, you don't
Speaker 1: know that You've got to take a step back. But
Speaker 1: I get it. It's easy to make fun of Kelly. Yeah. No, Well,
Speaker 1: sometimes she's just a dollar and wan. She's just very
Speaker 1: it's funny, it's funny. But now that she's filtering that
Speaker 1: personality into the voice, it just it works like I
Speaker 1: love her as a judge. I'm watching the voice. She
Speaker 1: was happy, she looks happy. That's great, That's all that matters.
Speaker 1: It just seems like the vibes are good. She looks
Speaker 1: healthier too, and they're dressing her better like it seems
Speaker 1: like it seems like we're in a Kelly renaissance in
Speaker 1: a way that I'm obsessed with River Roses on set.
Speaker 1: She's on the she's on the Universal lot every day. Well,
Speaker 1: Matt also showed me this video of Kelly, like in
Speaker 1: the first season of American I like when they go
Speaker 1: back home with the contestant in this very first promo package,
Speaker 1: like when she came out about about to saying. The
Speaker 1: very first clip they showed before she sat was she's
Speaker 1: literally in the river. She's still on a nerve football
Speaker 1: in the river in Burlston, Texas. And I'm like, this girl, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this girl was country country man, but also like the
Speaker 1: voice the voice of like Whitney, like crazy. Even then,
Speaker 1: even then, I swear to god, I did not care
Speaker 1: for the first season of American Idol until like until
Speaker 1: um Nicole McKibbin whatevering mcibbin. I was like, oh, and
Speaker 1: then I heard all this, and then like by the
Speaker 1: final three, I was like, oh, whoa. I happened to
Speaker 1: catch onto it very early. But as someone who's often
Speaker 1: laid on these big water cooler shows, I identified with
Speaker 1: what you're saying that one I happened to be in
Speaker 1: from the beginning, And it was true. It was Kelly
Speaker 1: Clarkson and Tamyra Gray who coincidentally last night don't about
Speaker 1: to go see once on This Island list and I'm
Speaker 1: Broadway and I'm so happy that we get to tell
Speaker 1: all the listeners. It is so good. And I thought
Speaker 1: like maybe two months ago, and it was, first of all,
Speaker 1: I love Circling the Square. It is so good, so immersive. No,
Speaker 1: not a bad seat in the house, and like truly
Speaker 1: you mean that, and like oh my god, the chicken,
Speaker 1: the chicken and the goat, the animals, and but also
Speaker 1: like just the performances, like Norm Lewis was, well, we
Speaker 1: didn't see Norman Lewis. We got Haley, we got stunning
Speaker 1: to miss Tamyra Greg been a fan of hers for
Speaker 1: sixteen years and I have to say, shout out. She
Speaker 1: has become such an amazing, stunning artist the way she
Speaker 1: uses her body on the stage. She is a theatrical artist.
Speaker 1: Skilled theatrical artist, yes, and she was amazing in the show.
Speaker 1: I saw her as Mimi and Rent. I told you
Speaker 1: earlier she was also good at that. Absolutely, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you out. Tonight was like I wanted it to be three.
Speaker 1: It was so good and also like the emotional stuff
Speaker 1: that made me gets to do at the end of Rent,
Speaker 1: like she nailed all of that. I mean, yeah, when
Speaker 1: she comes back from the dead, well, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: it just came to say goodbye love without you as
Speaker 1: especially without you so beautiful. Roario Dawson and the toub
Speaker 1: was tough, but the song on on Broadway live on
Speaker 1: stage is amazing. Well, I should tell you it's good.
Speaker 1: I should tell you him is it? We're just saying.
Speaker 1: Tamara Gray was amazing and once on a silent and
Speaker 1: the real discovery for me was the lead girl. Haley
Speaker 1: Killed amazing. This girl she's really good and she came
Speaker 1: out and stood up in her first position and everyone
Speaker 1: applauded as if she was like a big star, but
Speaker 1: no one knows her. She just commanded your attention. And
Speaker 1: also for people who know the show, like you know
Speaker 1: what she's coming on. You know it's her entrance song.
Speaker 1: You know it's I said to Matt, it's the song
Speaker 1: that really carries out of that musical that it's the
Speaker 1: one that's in everyone's book and what it. It's so good.
Speaker 1: I was trying to learn her today. I was like, yes, God,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sing this at the next Cabernet cabaret. It's
Speaker 1: so good. We didn't get Alex Knewell, which is but
Speaker 1: the understanding was amazing. She was fabulous. Understudies are fantastic
Speaker 1: and understudy and one of the most iconic singers I
Speaker 1: could know. So give it up her understudies out there
Speaker 1: when you go, when you see a Broadway show, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get something amazing unless it's done casting. Like that's
Speaker 1: rule of culture number fourteen. When you see your Broadway show,
Speaker 1: you're gonna see something amazing unless it's sun casting. I
Speaker 1: held my breath turning that. I feel like, are they
Speaker 1: going to get that? That was like that was a
Speaker 1: long sentence bow and how are you? I don't know
Speaker 1: how I got through that. Lias Alonga was gorgeous. Queen queen.
Speaker 1: I mean, you said she had an easy job, but
Speaker 1: she executed. I said, that bitch comes in there, it
Speaker 1: collects a check on her. You know, she's the first
Speaker 1: one out of costume out the door in the taxi.
Speaker 1: Even Alex knew, like even the understudy barely put any
Speaker 1: effort into hitting all these crazy amazing things. Just can
Speaker 1: do it. They can do it, and then like yep,
Speaker 1: clock out, absolutely clock out. Bit she's on her way,
Speaker 1: She's gonna stop at somewhere get get a nice little
Speaker 1: piece of cheesecake. Heads somewhere. Yeah, I'm gonna starties later,
Speaker 1: stopping quick. They know my name, and she's not having
Speaker 1: a martini tonight. I'm not never, not never. But also
Speaker 1: the thing is, I just wanted to let everyone know
Speaker 1: tomorrow Grace slang yes at this point her career six
Speaker 1: years later, like a different space than Kelly, but they
Speaker 1: were the iconic too. And we were also watching her
Speaker 1: videos before, and she's always been a slack you know,
Speaker 1: it's a travesty. What I know. This isn't like a
Speaker 1: bad this is a bad metric. But to my great
Speaker 1: only has eight thousand Twitter falls. I know, I saw
Speaker 1: that you have hundreds upon hundreds of thousands. You know.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's it's well, it's more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's also been famous for sixteen years. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 1: That's true. But the thing is, I just got my
Speaker 1: blonde here. I've only been famous for three days. And
Speaker 1: also we were just watching the Voice and Adam Levin
Speaker 1: popped up on the screen and Dave saw Adam Levina
Speaker 1: and goes, oh, okay, I really do have his hair.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I just thought, like because I always
Speaker 1: imagine him as having short hair. I guess, like that's
Speaker 1: how that's why I always magined liter we have the
Speaker 1: same haircut, so that so when I saw one, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's why my mom said that. She
Speaker 1: was like, you look like Adam Levine. I like, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like And I was like, why is my
Speaker 1: mom accepting this blonde hair? Like what has what has
Speaker 1: predisposed her to this? And I was like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: Adam Levine and it's Adam Vine because it's literally my hairstyle,
Speaker 1: so like Adam Levine warmed her up to the gayness
Speaker 1: of your hairstyle. Well, but you had this before, well
Speaker 1: I did like that. Honestly, the way I did it
Speaker 1: before I wasn't like this, and I regretted it was
Speaker 1: like just the top and I had these frosty tips forever.
Speaker 1: But oh my god, guys, this bleaching hurt. It hurts,
Speaker 1: It hurts the bleacher, it's painful. When when my mom
Speaker 1: was going to do it for us, she was like,
Speaker 1: I can dye your hair black, but but I'm never
Speaker 1: really comfortable doing Dave's hair blonde because it's not really
Speaker 1: what I do. And also just let him know it
Speaker 1: fucking her. Oh my god, no, my scalp was kept throbbing.
Speaker 1: Um try having like thick, thick Asian hair and having
Speaker 1: to go through like three rounds of it before they
Speaker 1: can even begin toning. It's terrible. It was under heat too, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I was sitting for a long time. I
Speaker 1: was like I had the back of the comb. I
Speaker 1: was just poking my scalp because it was so itchy.
Speaker 1: But but honestly, when she washed it out and after
Speaker 1: my scalp finished throbbing, I looked in the mirror and
Speaker 1: I said, oh God, I look like a porn star
Speaker 1: and it was all worth it. God blast, why not?
Speaker 1: Like what a Tampa's Finest Tampa. Honestly, I could only
Speaker 1: hope that's the title of that Tampa. Okay, we gotta
Speaker 1: finest with Dave Mazzoni. I beated that too. We got
Speaker 1: to talk about Katie on Idol, Okay, Yeah, Like I
Speaker 1: mean I want to get there later on yeah if
Speaker 1: you if you get our drift, he wants to get there, like,
Speaker 1: oh he got something to say about. But I will
Speaker 1: say we watched American Idol and like it just like
Speaker 1: I mean, the stage is Disney, it was Disney United,
Speaker 1: was Corporate USA. The corporate retreat of American Idol. It
Speaker 1: was disgusting. It was a billboard, it was Petsy ad
Speaker 1: they're leading into the network. They I mean, it's one
Speaker 1: of these you know what they really are, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of people at home that enjoy it.
Speaker 1: It's just tough just to see someone like Katy Perry,
Speaker 1: who you know, used to be doing Unplugged and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: her first album was still felt authentically her. To see
Speaker 1: her come out in a snow white costume and like
Speaker 1: Disney Presents Katy Perry, it's a little tough because you're like, ah, man,
Speaker 1: like we're never going to see, like, what's really going
Speaker 1: on with you again? Like you are this kind of
Speaker 1: like sold out commercial pop star, which is you know,
Speaker 1: fun to have, Like it's fine, but the thing is, like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's parts of her I'm keeping my lips
Speaker 1: closed because he has I'm not into it. It's crazy. Okay,
Speaker 1: well then I'm sorry that I should we talk about
Speaker 1: the list. Okay, let's talk about the list. About the list.
Speaker 1: The list, like I mentioned in the little intro, is
Speaker 1: going to be our new show. We've this has been
Speaker 1: sort of percolating in our head since January. It's it's
Speaker 1: do you want to explain to the I mean I
Speaker 1: was going to talk about the space public hotel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's their public arts space. There is just looks it's
Speaker 1: gonna be cool, guys, a spiral stairwell that I'm going
Speaker 1: to die on. Um, it's just really cool. And the
Speaker 1: show is going to be about like, um, like nightlife
Speaker 1: that the nightlife nightmare. It's going to clubs, getting in
Speaker 1: the lines, like the coach check, the drink minimums, the
Speaker 1: bottle service. It's all just like bullshit, and like I've
Speaker 1: been dragging guys to these events for you. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, like you have the most experience with
Speaker 1: these kind of Yeah. I mean, you know, I like
Speaker 1: to get I get in there on the promoting side
Speaker 1: because I feel like, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: all these promoters want is for people to come to
Speaker 1: their events. They want to have a successful event. It's
Speaker 1: the same as a comedy show in a in an
Speaker 1: abstract sense, like they just want butts and seats and
Speaker 1: so like if you have a good crew who doesn't
Speaker 1: like die and who isn't like wasted all the time,
Speaker 1: Like it's like social lites and people who are working
Speaker 1: in the community, they're like, yes, please bring your friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can have a good time, right and exactly, And
Speaker 1: if I can negotiate a situation where we can spend
Speaker 1: like an amount of money that I can tell you
Speaker 1: on Venmo beforehand, rather than go in there and like
Speaker 1: God knows how much is on your car at the bar,
Speaker 1: and it's it's just a whole mess. So if I
Speaker 1: can make it so that we can go out and
Speaker 1: have these experiences about the bullshit of these events, which
Speaker 1: I had first inexperiencing for five years at n y
Speaker 1: U when we were twinks. Those days, like those days
Speaker 1: when we were like going too spaces when we were young,
Speaker 1: like you know, those parties. I was I was never
Speaker 1: are you talking about like splash and ship like that.
Speaker 1: I never want to actually never want to every splash,
Speaker 1: but I did rest in Pace. But I did go
Speaker 1: to like these um gay events that like targeted young students,
Speaker 1: like and we all there was like Facebook groups where
Speaker 1: they were they were like message you randomly. I mean
Speaker 1: that's like, yeah, that brings back, it doesn't hold up.
Speaker 1: So basically that's really what the show is. What we're
Speaker 1: satirizing is the kind of exclusivity of door culture and
Speaker 1: club culture and nightlife and how it can kind of
Speaker 1: feel like you could never possibly be like good enough
Speaker 1: for the space, or like famous enough or rich enough
Speaker 1: for the space. So basically, we're going to play these
Speaker 1: three characters who were all in the same house, and
Speaker 1: we're basically going to run the show. You know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have a fucking If you're in the audience, you
Speaker 1: are on the list, the honey, you are man on
Speaker 1: the last congratulations, And basically it's going to be very fun,
Speaker 1: kind of like not take yourself seriously at all. What
Speaker 1: I love, what I love personally is making fun of
Speaker 1: stuff that takes itself super serious. So for me, this
Speaker 1: is going to be that. To the m degrade and
Speaker 1: this space, you guys, oh my god, it's so cool,
Speaker 1: so cool, and the people who run it there are
Speaker 1: so great. Like meeting with Will and like just seeing
Speaker 1: the whole layout of how they do things. They're like,
Speaker 1: it's such a chill vibe. I think we're gonna have
Speaker 1: a really fun party there. And the three of us
Speaker 1: just hosted a show. We did the exhibition with Michael Caine.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so fun. Heartthrob, Yeah, the Heartthrob. Michael.
Speaker 1: You got to go to the show Guys Exhibition. I
Speaker 1: believe it's monthly at the Hotel Michael, Michael Caine and
Speaker 1: mary Beth Burrowne hosted and we just kind of stepped
Speaker 1: in and hosted while Mary Beth was away. We had
Speaker 1: Janine Garuffalo on the show, so sheer matayl Lane it was.
Speaker 1: There was a mentalist performing, Christie Cello. Of course, I'm
Speaker 1: unbelievable and so basically, um, that's another thing we're excited
Speaker 1: about with our show is it's going to feature not
Speaker 1: just comedy but also like some drag, some lesque performers,
Speaker 1: just mix it up a little bit. We have so
Speaker 1: many just amazing people in this community right now, and
Speaker 1: they're the people that go to those events. Like you know,
Speaker 1: I may drag you out to the club, but you
Speaker 1: know Britta filters up there. Like yet if you also
Speaker 1: don't know Britta Filter, She's the lamin and drag queen
Speaker 1: of New York. So I will absolutely we can talk
Speaker 1: as long about this as we want. I want to
Speaker 1: promote Britten Filter as much as possible. She is see
Speaker 1: it now before you can't see it absolutely is also
Speaker 1: booking gigs. But I'm saying she's booking gigs and she's
Speaker 1: also doing like comedy shows. She's always been interested in
Speaker 1: comedy and doing comedy stuff because Oscar and I booked
Speaker 1: her like years ago, remember that, of course. And yes,
Speaker 1: bitch bibliography, I have received historical historian. I have the
Speaker 1: bibliography and she's got the BIB. Yeah. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's just you know, it's it's it's a fun it's
Speaker 1: still a fun opportunity to to include people in that
Speaker 1: world but also make fun of it in its fun way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be so fun. He took some crazy photos
Speaker 1: which maybe bye bye. I don't know if can hold
Speaker 1: that to any longer. I'm blue bawling myself. You are
Speaker 1: very anty with it. So we took fun, fun, fun
Speaker 1: promo photos as the characters, you guys, with the photographer
Speaker 1: extraordinaire out like Shaver who you know, if you see
Speaker 1: any good picture of any Brooklyn comedity, he's in the studio.
Speaker 1: You know. It was actually like, seriously, there's the nicest guy,
Speaker 1: the so talented supported the craziness that we brought there,
Speaker 1: Like we came in with bags honey like workroom bags.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, tons of costumes and son. The photos are
Speaker 1: very very fun um, but Bowen is very traditionally very
Speaker 1: anty about the promotional materials and to get them out there.
Speaker 1: Because it was the impetus from my blonde hair. It
Speaker 1: truly like it triggered it. I'm saying, there's just so
Speaker 1: much surrounding, like the lead up to the shoot and
Speaker 1: then now that we're in the post phase, like you
Speaker 1: wanted to pay off. I wanted to pay off. I
Speaker 1: want I want people to see. I'm just like anytime
Speaker 1: anytime I make something ums with something on Photoshop, I'm
Speaker 1: always like, okay, I want to share this right now.
Speaker 1: And it's bad. It's a bad quality. I've been clocking
Speaker 1: the tweaks you've been making just that I'm not even
Speaker 1: like judging them per se. I'm just like watching your
Speaker 1: mental process like actually, no, I don't like the underlying
Speaker 1: like no, I want to do Yeah, it's I see
Speaker 1: you tweak, and I love that. I see the mental
Speaker 1: like I see the arc, and I just you know,
Speaker 1: that's why we support, That's why listeners know that you
Speaker 1: are a full time graphic designer. Do I know that
Speaker 1: I think some of them do well. Anyway, He's a talent.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just all it's He's amazing, like almost
Speaker 1: like like tons of the designs you've seen that are
Speaker 1: promoting shows um around New York City has been before.
Speaker 1: All the graphic material for Last culturis that literally, my sisters,
Speaker 1: he is available for hire. By the way, I'll say
Speaker 1: that for him. She's out here. Get her to do
Speaker 1: your stuff. Oh my god, I mean for a price?
Speaker 1: Actually do you want? Can I confess something? When I
Speaker 1: do other people's stuff, it's so much harder. When I
Speaker 1: do my own stuff, it's so much easier because I
Speaker 1: couldn't just tell immediately that you want to back is
Speaker 1: immediate where I'm just like Okay, I like this, No,
Speaker 1: I don't like that. And then like for me to
Speaker 1: design something for someone else, it's always this thing of
Speaker 1: like me like conceding to what they want, which is
Speaker 1: how it should be. But I have a harder time,
Speaker 1: like with the patience of just like Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do this, I'm gonna try these options. I'm gonna send
Speaker 1: these three options out and I guess I just I
Speaker 1: gotta wait for the next day or hour or so
Speaker 1: until I hear back and so, and I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I don't like that process and it sounds very selfish,
Speaker 1: but I like to work for myself more. No, I
Speaker 1: know what you mean. It's the same thing like when
Speaker 1: we would make a Poplar lead video and we would
Speaker 1: get all the footage and I would like come home
Speaker 1: with the card and it would be eleven at night
Speaker 1: and we had worked all day, and bitch, I would
Speaker 1: sit down and I would be sending you guys a
Speaker 1: cut by like three amant because yeah, I'm the same way.
Speaker 1: Like when we got the photos back from the shoot,
Speaker 1: I looked through them like right away because I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to see what we have. Yes, Matt, you
Speaker 1: look like nobody else. I love the way that you
Speaker 1: look at photos. Well, I'm just saying, you know what's
Speaker 1: so funny. Suti recently read me for this because I
Speaker 1: was talking about the photo shoot and she's like, you know,
Speaker 1: I hope you're just excited about the work. And I
Speaker 1: was like she was teasing, but I was kind of
Speaker 1: just like, the picture and the visual and all of
Speaker 1: that is part of it. And I do believe that
Speaker 1: that's why he's dad. She's checking you That's why she's
Speaker 1: he's coming, She's gonna come in and she's gonna check
Speaker 1: your SUITI is my daddy. She's always making sure that
Speaker 1: we're focused. And the thing is she knows that you
Speaker 1: guys are both very visual people and so you guys,
Speaker 1: especially you guys like even that sometimes it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you can get carried away with like and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying you, but she wants to make sure that someone's
Speaker 1: always just like and she was like this in popular
Speaker 1: Let you remember, she was always the one that was like, Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: it's cool that the songs sound great, but so that
Speaker 1: she really was huge influence and me figuring out like
Speaker 1: how to cut through the bull like it was the
Speaker 1: UCB class I wasn't taking at the time. That was
Speaker 1: just like, um girl, cut through the bullshit and find
Speaker 1: the funny part. What is the game? That's why she
Speaker 1: has her job. She has now Sti Green, Queen, are
Speaker 1: are that Daddy? Sued Dad? Sed I just couldn't love
Speaker 1: anyone more? In fact, you might hear some more from
Speaker 1: Sudi Green later on in today's show. What could you
Speaker 1: possibly don't know? What I could be? What I could
Speaker 1: be referencing. But anyway, you guys, yes the list. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be so excited about it. I've been dying to
Speaker 1: have a show with my sisters, and like we we
Speaker 1: all are constantly on each other's likes hands. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: are like um in a in a prayer circle right now. Um.
Speaker 1: But I would just say, like, I'm just so excited
Speaker 1: for us to share a show together, Like we've just
Speaker 1: been working together for so long. This is our moment
Speaker 1: in the side. And we also have even sooner than that.
Speaker 1: Dave and I are remounting our game show that's one
Speaker 1: of the best shows in the city. It's so fun.
Speaker 1: We have been doing it for almost a year UCB
Speaker 1: East and we had a really great run there. And
Speaker 1: so now we are going to caveatte which is the
Speaker 1: one of the coolest way were all together together when
Speaker 1: this happened. So I'm in the back. Bowen is on
Speaker 1: stage doing his bit at the exhibition at Public Hotel,
Speaker 1: and I'm in the back and I'm standing with this bitch,
Speaker 1: Corey Campertoli. Are all our friends are there? They can't
Speaker 1: just support, So we're standing in the back. I looked
Speaker 1: down at my phone and I see that I'm being
Speaker 1: followed by. I am Monique Cart to myself, is this
Speaker 1: situation where it's one of those fools that have the
Speaker 1: name of a celebrity and then they follow you and
Speaker 1: you think it's the real thing. Yeah, exactly. But then
Speaker 1: I looked and it was money Cart. And not only that,
Speaker 1: but she had tweeted and responded to a tweet that
Speaker 1: I tweeted earlier in the day. Between tweet, I said, um,
Speaker 1: and this was before Snatch Game, the episode here by
Speaker 1: the time this comes out Snatch at But I said,
Speaker 1: and this is the same day that all this joy
Speaker 1: Read nonsense came out. You can't hear about this? Yes,
Speaker 1: I did. Um And and so I said, I want
Speaker 1: at Monique Cart, I tagged her. Thank god, I said,
Speaker 1: I want at Monique Cart I am Monique Hart to
Speaker 1: play joy Read for Snatch Game. And she responded, OMG,
Speaker 1: that would be hilarious. Also, Ding dong Les Cultures called
Speaker 1: fan of the show, and which to us is I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a super guy, awesome, awesome. From the second I
Speaker 1: saw her, I was like, that's her, you know, that's
Speaker 1: the one for me. Gariel and I are when we're
Speaker 1: watching it We're always like she slays this confessional she's
Speaker 1: got but you know she got catch raises, sure, but
Speaker 1: this they're flying out of her mouth, Like it's the
Speaker 1: way she is. You feel like she's being the way
Speaker 1: she is. An also the story and where she comes from.
Speaker 1: All I wanted success for her her on talk to
Speaker 1: this past week where she was talking about going to
Speaker 1: seminary school. Did you catch that? Yes? I was like,
Speaker 1: that is such an interesting story and why didn't they
Speaker 1: put that in the actual episode. Is a deep well
Speaker 1: of stuff with Monique that I think we are just
Speaker 1: grazing the surface. It's exciting, you know, and like like
Speaker 1: you said, like we were talking earlierout like who's gonna win,
Speaker 1: who's gonna win? And it's not even about the winner,
Speaker 1: it's about the impression you leave. Yes, it's like when
Speaker 1: you can see a Jo O'Hara give us runways that
Speaker 1: we've never seen and we can be so excited for
Speaker 1: her and know that she made a mark and she's
Speaker 1: here to stay in that way, Like at least I'm
Speaker 1: so excited to reference like those moments on drag Races,
Speaker 1: whether they win or lose. Yes, Like I think Monique
Speaker 1: is just one of those indelible queens who, no matter
Speaker 1: how she does, I think, I think, just leave such
Speaker 1: a good impression. I'm excited. But she can't. I don't say,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I want, I can never wait. Like
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's like Bowen earlier in the year
Speaker 1: when we were watching All Stars and Stars was only fine.
Speaker 1: He was like, are we gonna be like, is there
Speaker 1: going to be too much drag Race at two hours
Speaker 1: a week? And then we're gonna be writing about it?
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think so. And you know
Speaker 1: what a foolish question I asked back then, because I
Speaker 1: totally see that it knows. And I told you I
Speaker 1: was like, yes, two drags, Yes, yes, a drag, yes,
Speaker 1: man the kick heard round world. Yes. So. But I
Speaker 1: reminded you every year when drag Race is on, like
Speaker 1: Bone always says like I live for only this time
Speaker 1: of year, Like light up, seriously, it makes me happy
Speaker 1: to be alive when drag Races on. But anyway, we're
Speaker 1: so gag. During the back and forth we had on
Speaker 1: Twitter with Monique and then I said, Monique cart if
Speaker 1: you're listening right now, and then she said that she
Speaker 1: plays I don't think so honey at Sunday with her girl.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we are so gagged. You don't understand, Monique,
Speaker 1: we love you. The invitation to come on this show
Speaker 1: is wide open. Anytime you were in New York City, Mama,
Speaker 1: let us take you out the My god, and can
Speaker 1: I tell you, yes, the moment that I saw her
Speaker 1: and meet the queens when she said, my name is
Speaker 1: Monique Cart. I'm from Kansas City, Missouri, known for barbecue,
Speaker 1: theme parks, jazz and like sold that's so. And I
Speaker 1: had to rewind her entrance three times because we were
Speaker 1: we were enjoying it, because it was the sensation. Yes,
Speaker 1: I still very seen by that America. I feel every
Speaker 1: time I'm glowing right now, I feel good well because
Speaker 1: and here's why, because Monique Cart. And here's the thing
Speaker 1: I like about Monique too. She is extremely competitive in
Speaker 1: the competition. She wants to win and she wants she
Speaker 1: came to play. But also she leads with her heart,
Speaker 1: and she leads with joy and the love for what
Speaker 1: she does. Positivity. Yes, that is above all else. It's
Speaker 1: a fun show. It drags on TV. It's bigger than
Speaker 1: it's ever been. Hip hip, hooray, thank you and that's
Speaker 1: I think the difference between a queen like that who's
Speaker 1: so obviously being edited as a fan favorite and as
Speaker 1: someone we love than some other queens. I think that
Speaker 1: come in with like some negative attitudes. And it's not
Speaker 1: even that she has a negative attitude, it's just that
Speaker 1: she has a certain way of doing things, and so
Speaker 1: when the edit rolls around and you look a certain way.
Speaker 1: And also you can say this for other ones too,
Speaker 1: like for example, Cameron being boring, it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: these things end up the way they end up for
Speaker 1: a reason. I do not believe that Vixen is actually mean,
Speaker 1: and I do not believe that Cameron is actually boring,
Speaker 1: but I do believe that that is the television show
Speaker 1: that they're creating, and you can't be mad at the result.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. And and like I mean, we villains get
Speaker 1: the Twitter followers to a girl that it's all coming around.
Speaker 1: But Vixen is doing something that hasn't really ever been
Speaker 1: done on drag Race, which is like this like this
Speaker 1: aggression that is like completely warranted in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: and it's like actually, and it is forcing these conversations
Speaker 1: that should be had, but you you wish she could
Speaker 1: speak calmly. But I but I also I love that
Speaker 1: it's like it's filled with passion and I understand it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't claim to understand it, however, I
Speaker 1: see where it's coming from. But I just wish that
Speaker 1: she could explain it in a way that that didn't
Speaker 1: involve making me wonder is she gonna hit her? Is
Speaker 1: there gonna be physical violence, because that's like, that's not
Speaker 1: the world of drag. I kind of live for the
Speaker 1: moment though, when she and Eureka we're finding where she was, like,
Speaker 1: I've never liked to I saw you and I was
Speaker 1: with her, with her, it always goes to that level,
Speaker 1: and it's pretty funny. I mean, the thing is like
Speaker 1: whenever now, whenever now there's any comments, which is just
Speaker 1: like she could take the wrong way. I'm always like, well,
Speaker 1: this is probably almost definitely going to be a full
Speaker 1: out of fight, and and I kind of live. I live,
Speaker 1: but I just when she gets voted out, we're gonna
Speaker 1: miss her, we are, or if she makes it all
Speaker 1: the way to that happened. Is I have nothing to say.
Speaker 1: I am exhausted on the Vixen topic. No, I get it,
Speaker 1: I get it. Babe, I just feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: like I just don't think there's a place in that way.
Speaker 1: She's smart, you know, she's so smart, She's got good
Speaker 1: stuff to say. She also brings good drag to the table.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to get out of this whole competition
Speaker 1: staring people down in the mirror and focus on her
Speaker 1: drag because the runways aren't the best. No, yeah, they
Speaker 1: could be better. I want better drags. Although the best
Speaker 1: couple of weeks she's been better. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: think she's bad, but I'm saying Asia was swiping the
Speaker 1: floor with you. She's running circles around you. So get
Speaker 1: your mind off of Aquaria and let's look yourself in
Speaker 1: the mirror and beat your own face. Yeah, your own
Speaker 1: face is true. But Vixen and Vixen and Aquarier sort
Speaker 1: of doing similar things with their drag where it's like
Speaker 1: a lot of body honey, certainly a lot of body yeah,
Speaker 1: which I'm which I'm into, And I don't think either
Speaker 1: of them have like crossed over into Courtney Act territory
Speaker 1: of it's like, so we know what you're doing. The
Speaker 1: worst one man drag show I've ever seen, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: peund tired, but she's literally asleep. She's a star. Now,
Speaker 1: she's a star. She wants she won that celebrity big brother.
Speaker 1: Good for her, girl. I mean the tuck we all
Speaker 1: saw it, it was it was iconic. I mean when revealed,
Speaker 1: image was like at this tucked penis. She It's so funny.
Speaker 1: It just just really quickly. I want to say, it's
Speaker 1: so funny that Courtney was clocked for being like leaning
Speaker 1: too much on body and pretty, but like, no one
Speaker 1: batted an eye for Valentine. And do you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Valentinea literally walked out with two fucking like
Speaker 1: black rectangle. Yes, but she wasn't doing that every time.
Speaker 1: I kind of think she was. I don't know. She
Speaker 1: came out on that wedding dress, which is stunning, could
Speaker 1: have stuck to her body whatever you no no talk
Speaker 1: about no um. Well, anyway, I'm jagged for this season.
Speaker 1: For the season, listen to more man. I had to
Speaker 1: end depth recaps every week on Patreon. Yes, I've listened there.
Speaker 1: They are great guys. Do y'all. We're very excited to
Speaker 1: say that we're going to be moderating at Vulture Fest.
Speaker 1: The drag race panel. Ohen and I are going to
Speaker 1: be moderating that panel. We have our own show at
Speaker 1: Vulture Fest as well, so that'll be fun. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be getting water for everyone. I'll be getting water if
Speaker 1: he's gonna show everyone his throat, but not a polyp
Speaker 1: inside pop inside. I'm going to be in short shorts.
Speaker 1: I will say this, it has been really nice to
Speaker 1: hear you be able to um, you know, use your
Speaker 1: voice the way that you always wanted to, because like
Speaker 1: that was a big singing was a big thing for you. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: it was definitely like an emotional thing that I sort
Speaker 1: of went through, but it steered me in a direction
Speaker 1: that now that I'm now that I'm fixed, UM, I
Speaker 1: just sort of like I'm happy to have it. I've
Speaker 1: got a new lease on life. A couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: I really felt that way when I when I got
Speaker 1: my voice back, I felt like, Um, I can do
Speaker 1: anything now, let me get right back in the game.
Speaker 1: And um also like just in performing stand up a lot,
Speaker 1: like I've been doing a ton of stand up lately,
Speaker 1: and people are in the game for years and to
Speaker 1: get really good at it, you really got to like
Speaker 1: figure out your your cadence. You're pacing your character who
Speaker 1: you are, what what what you're bringing that's new, and
Speaker 1: not having my voice was a huge hindrance. I felt
Speaker 1: like I couldn't be myself. I couldn't emote in the
Speaker 1: way that I wanted to. I couldn't say awesome, yeah,
Speaker 1: And it really did hurt and it was embarrassing because
Speaker 1: I don't know, like literally the voice doctor was like, um,
Speaker 1: he was like, this could have happened like at a
Speaker 1: crazy unit at a club. You know, you ever lose
Speaker 1: your voice at a club? And I was like, in
Speaker 1: my mind was like, um yeah, um, there was the
Speaker 1: time in my life where I used to like losing
Speaker 1: my voice. I like the way that I sounded, right,
Speaker 1: Remember that time in my life, like where I was
Speaker 1: like I had a raspy voice, my voice is different
Speaker 1: and that well that was in my youth for sure.
Speaker 1: But you know vocal damage that your cords are very fragile,
Speaker 1: and once you do something then then you have to
Speaker 1: compensate for it. It can get really aggravated over time. Also,
Speaker 1: not for nothing, but like the kind of music that
Speaker 1: was sort of popular when we were in high school
Speaker 1: and the way people sang like remember when that kind
Speaker 1: of scream o emo stuff was popular. And also even
Speaker 1: the girls, like the pop stars, like Ashley Simpson the
Speaker 1: way she would shout like all these kind of way yeah,
Speaker 1: and like like like when you listen to facts, try singing,
Speaker 1: try but anyway, Like even like her sister Jessica, the
Speaker 1: way she would scream shout her ship, like all the girls,
Speaker 1: the pop stars, like we're laughing about the idea of law,
Speaker 1: but that's true during that time, and it was like,
Speaker 1: how the fun did you ever expect to learn how
Speaker 1: to here? Listening to Yellow Card on the way to
Speaker 1: camp like good time, dude, Oh my god. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think the list should release a single before there's music
Speaker 1: coming from the list. I feel like there's an EP
Speaker 1: to be dropped. These boys released remixes. No, it should
Speaker 1: be one song and then fourteen remixes after of just
Speaker 1: that one song that remade it. I think it should
Speaker 1: be like, well, welcome to us, this is something our idea,
Speaker 1: live on the poding document this and laugh about it,
Speaker 1: just like remixes remix like beyond like blind blind Pig remix.
Speaker 1: It should be it should literally be like a cameraon
Speaker 1: a cameroon, asked single where it's one word repeated over
Speaker 1: and over that and then seven years later we make
Speaker 1: we remix it, like fucking what do I love it?
Speaker 1: That's great. That's here to say, we won't. I don't
Speaker 1: have to write it in my phone because we have
Speaker 1: it here. We have it. Also, I think I floated
Speaker 1: this by you guys last night. I think our characters
Speaker 1: should be like devout Christians. Yeah, that's funny because I
Speaker 1: said that the fun that you use that is giving
Speaker 1: me a real Christianity. Chris and I moved the crossbar
Speaker 1: up a little bit because I didn't want it to
Speaker 1: look like I didn't want people to read it and
Speaker 1: be like Plus he lists in a little confusing a
Speaker 1: glimpse into the mind of a graphic designer adjustments. Honey,
Speaker 1: I'm like totally down, But you guys can say now,
Speaker 1: I'm totally down to just have us like brains to
Speaker 1: keep brainstorming stuff. But now let's let's do that on
Speaker 1: an earn. No, I don't want to give away this
Speaker 1: thing because I feel we'll end up talking about some
Speaker 1: of the stuff you already have in place, and I
Speaker 1: really want to save that for you guys. The show
Speaker 1: is going to be great. And I really mean this
Speaker 1: isn't like a shameless plug, Like we're really so excited
Speaker 1: that it's going to be so much fun. Here's the thing, Like,
Speaker 1: the three of us, I'm speaking for you, guys, I
Speaker 1: haven't been this excited about an idea in a very
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, I gotta say, And and the three
Speaker 1: of us have just kept this ball going in the
Speaker 1: air for all these months and we're just like throwing
Speaker 1: a new ideas taking out old ones, like this has
Speaker 1: been a living a project for a long time. Um,
Speaker 1: we can't wait to make it ready. I'm get excited
Speaker 1: about any immersive experience. Like what's gonna be fun about
Speaker 1: the show is the doors are gonna open at seven thirty,
Speaker 1: but the show actually begins at the same time, because
Speaker 1: like you know, it's gonna be you're in this bar atmosphere,
Speaker 1: and so we're going to have you know, people that
Speaker 1: are performers on the show, Um, performing and being in
Speaker 1: character the whole time. And speaking of a massive experiences,
Speaker 1: we did just enjoy a recent trip to the Orlando,
Speaker 1: Florida and our first episode was called Orlando Realness. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: it was it was. I mean that was two thousand six. Honey,
Speaker 1: oh I was. I was twenty six a good year.

Speaker 1: thoughts on the trip? It was, um, it was a gauntlet.
Speaker 1: It was we didn't We did all for Disney parks

Speaker 1: which definitely absolutely Odd, thank you so much. That was
Speaker 1: so much fun. Like we we were yes and r J.

Speaker 1: mat is just like it's a it's about speed and
Speaker 1: efficiency in these parts. Can I defend myself because we're
Speaker 1: not like, I know you're not attacking me, but I
Speaker 1: just want to say all the listeners out there you
Speaker 1: know that I'm passionate about the Orlando theme parks. We
Speaker 1: only had in a lot of a certain amount of
Speaker 1: time and I just wanted to make sure that we
Speaker 1: were able to do everything and we were at a
Speaker 1: certain clip and you both know, do we ever leave
Speaker 1: those parks saying I wish we would nod? And we
Speaker 1: really do have to thank all of our friends who

Speaker 1: That was that was crazy. That was we were on
Speaker 1: the back of the Mansie. Huh. Yeah, in that moment
Speaker 1: where you're just in that cave and it's quiet and
Speaker 1: then those little fucking jellyfish things float in the air.
Speaker 1: Gotta go do it, you gotta go. It was worth
Speaker 1: it. It It was worth the wait. You do have to wait.
Speaker 1: We waited, like I think we got there fucking first
Speaker 1: thing in the morning. We still waited ninety minutes. But
Speaker 1: there's a lagoon, the lagoon with a swan, a Disney swan.

Speaker 1: Done the dinosaur ride we did with flash Shot in
Speaker 1: the love that you loved that I love. That was

Speaker 1: a it's an outdated property, and you know, you know
Speaker 1: what I gotta say, and I know you're going to

Speaker 1: a tired old bid I think E t She is
Speaker 1: definitely a tired old bitch and should probably go. But
Speaker 1: the thing is, it's so charming. It's like the last
Speaker 1: ride that's there from the beginning of the animatronics are
Speaker 1: so bad they're like half of them. They're else don't
Speaker 1: even move anymore. They're just like oh no. And then

Speaker 1: beyond the movie. It's stupid. And all those aliens are
Speaker 1: like Jim Henson fucking average asks well not not say
Speaker 1: I'm Jim Henson, like fucking on his worst day, just
Speaker 1: being like, all right, here's to do it. Finish I
Speaker 1: understanding he got he got an email that said we

Speaker 1: Oh my god, so the fire is always a guy
Speaker 1: like agree, And here's some revealing tea. There's gonna be
Speaker 1: maybe I've said this on the podcast, but you know that, um,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a new Harry Potter roller coaster in
Speaker 1: the spot where Dueling Drag Gas was, so the Dragon
Speaker 1: Challenge was there going to be a whole new, brand
Speaker 1: new ride. And there's lots of rumors about potentially them
Speaker 1: opening their third theme park soon. Nintendo, well, who knows
Speaker 1: if it's going to be a Nintendo part of the
Speaker 1: new theme park right now. Nintendo was supposed to replace
Speaker 1: like the Kids Zone, which right, but there's lots of
Speaker 1: interesting things that could happen. And also Marvel is going
Speaker 1: to be a whole Disney thing there they're making. They're
Speaker 1: probably is gonna be a whole theme park about just
Speaker 1: Marvel stuff. I'm looking forward to our next trip, which
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of gaggeries coming in Star Wars.
Speaker 1: When that comes into Hollywood Studios, that's gonna be something
Speaker 1: we have to cannot wait. We were trying to do
Speaker 1: our series, but like we were just so tired. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sorry for everyone who you can't force. It's it's sad
Speaker 1: that we had all the right pieces, you know that. Listen,
Speaker 1: we were just not clocked in. Nobody clocked in. We
Speaker 1: were clocked out on vacation guard non No. I wanted
Speaker 1: to enjoy it, and also I wanted to I didn't
Speaker 1: want to feel like we were forcing anything. It was tough.
Speaker 1: We had issues with with casting and with availability, and
Speaker 1: there was production issue there there were it was just
Speaker 1: the team. When you get that big with the project,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of moving pieces. It was a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure. I mean, we has a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure to follow up in the sequel. It was very
Speaker 1: like Jaws to moment absolutely and like all three, you know,
Speaker 1: Aaron and Josh and Joel, I think we're really like
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. So I'm all three of our fans,
Speaker 1: all three of them, all three people watched. But look
Speaker 1: we got we got network notes and studio notes and
Speaker 1: and park notes and the mayor of Orlando sent us notes.
Speaker 1: We were like it was really too many. It was
Speaker 1: too much. But you know, there were fun Easter extra
Speaker 1: people who have followed the series, like for example, the
Speaker 1: Cult fans us being at the Garden of our Law
Speaker 1: and then um having Matt come out and say, well, well,
Speaker 1: well same. It's a callback to season to season. I
Speaker 1: think for Night in Orlando, I will say, is is
Speaker 1: part of my product work. How did we what was nets?
Speaker 1: It was like I gotta kill that version so I
Speaker 1: could live forever. And that was the last lie of
Speaker 1: the whole series, and we never touched it again. I
Speaker 1: think that we were going in a good narrative direction,
Speaker 1: but we just we just we really. I think it
Speaker 1: was finally clear what was going on, which is that
Speaker 1: my character had to kill that virsions so we could
Speaker 1: live forever. And I feel like we could have kept going,
Speaker 1: but we just didn't know. I just can't like pull it.
Speaker 1: It's been the first the original series is some of
Speaker 1: my best work. It's great. Why do you say, just
Speaker 1: some of your best work and our best work some
Speaker 1: of my I said, as a collective units, what do
Speaker 1: you feel? I feel that it was a collaborative project
Speaker 1: and took a lot of the editing on. We were
Speaker 1: like and you kept being like bo and get off
Speaker 1: your phone, and I was like, he's literally editing your
Speaker 1: fucking content. So let's take a let's take a breather,
Speaker 1: and why don't you sit this gatorade? And oh it's
Speaker 1: going hard, yes, but when you're in post hard at work.
Speaker 1: He's very much responsible for the all the sound effects,
Speaker 1: actually every sound effects on that app. What is this app?
Speaker 1: Video shop? Video shop it's great. They used to have
Speaker 1: this thing where you could you could fast, you could
Speaker 1: like speed up the talking speed a little bit. But
Speaker 1: then now they pitch up. And they used to not
Speaker 1: pitch up, and it sounded really funny when you spoke
Speaker 1: at the same you just talking. Really guys don't like that.
Speaker 1: But now it's like they pitched you up, like like
Speaker 1: when you speed it. Yeah, so you know it's it's
Speaker 1: really not We'll return and maybe we'll get around to
Speaker 1: an episode. I know that. I don't know because I
Speaker 1: feel like now we should go somewhere else, like maybe like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, now we know we're all going to
Speaker 1: be in l A. Oh, I can't wait. Game Show
Speaker 1: is coming to l A. Fact, we are going to
Speaker 1: be doing it on June eleven at UCB Sunset, Yes sunset.
Speaker 1: We're going to be a tent thirty line up t
Speaker 1: B A but n F t A. It is gonna be.
Speaker 1: So we are coming to do it in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: and then the next day Boone and I have I
Speaker 1: don't think so honey live at Ecoplex, which is gonna
Speaker 1: be We're gonna probably already have announced the line up
Speaker 1: by the time this episode is out. But if we
Speaker 1: haven't know that, it will be very soon and it
Speaker 1: will be very fun. And David Zoni is on the
Speaker 1: line ticket. It's like in New York, these shows go,
Speaker 1: people go crazy. You're gonna love it's so much now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can the link in by lin by um but
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, this show is so much fun. People
Speaker 1: love it because we're all gonna be out there. Maybe
Speaker 1: we should go to Disneyland? Should we do? We skip that?
Speaker 1: Last time we went to Universal right we did, which
Speaker 1: was kind of a kind of a letdown. Well, it
Speaker 1: was like an escalator palace, Universal Studios, Hollywood. It is.
Speaker 1: You spend most of the day on the escalators. Honey,
Speaker 1: have you been there? H b J. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of walking around. Um. Casey was just a Disneyland for
Speaker 1: the first time. She loved it and it made me
Speaker 1: want to go. We should go to Disneyland, it's the
Speaker 1: antique original. Or we could drive out to six Flags
Speaker 1: Magic Mountain and do roller coaster. I'm not a coaster queen.
Speaker 1: I love starts, but you know what I say, follow
Speaker 1: row wherever, Oh your arrow where? Oh my god. For
Speaker 1: the listeners, I'm so sorry I'm sorry about that hurt me.
Speaker 1: I'm a coaster queen. We have some listeners who are
Speaker 1: coaster queens. Will go with me at a six place
Speaker 1: Magic Mountain? Do we dare to one last rode Disneyland
Speaker 1: for a night's in? I am never forcing a night's No,
Speaker 1: that's I'm never gonna force it. If it happens like
Speaker 1: naturally and organically, I think yes. I don't know the
Speaker 1: disappointment in your face right now. I don't agree. I
Speaker 1: had to here to schedules, but I mean we'll just
Speaker 1: I think we should wait a little while from new
Speaker 1: rides to come. There's gonna be a good ship. I
Speaker 1: want new rides, want because you know New Guard into
Speaker 1: the Galaxy right and didn't, which we can do with you.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you'd go back to the park for one
Speaker 1: new ride. I would like like maybe four or five
Speaker 1: we've never been to. Okayme down different, I'm down. Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be out there and our shows will be
Speaker 1: there and it's going to be a last year. I
Speaker 1: have a good time, yes, can I just think the
Speaker 1: reason why all these series have been in developmental hell
Speaker 1: is because back to it No, no either, we spend
Speaker 1: too much time before you know, breaking story, um, you know,
Speaker 1: planning out the themes, planning out the motifs, or we
Speaker 1: do it too in the moment. And I think what
Speaker 1: was perfect about the original series was that the day
Speaker 1: before we would talk about it on a very thin
Speaker 1: that was it was just happening. That's what American horror
Speaker 1: story was really happening. That's what I'm saying. Maybe it
Speaker 1: was a moment in time. Maybe we should we want
Speaker 1: to other projects like the List. No, there are no
Speaker 1: other projects that we're gonna beat this one until it's
Speaker 1: on HBO. I want, I want to, I want to
Speaker 1: West World one. Oh wow, I'm I'm just halfway through
Speaker 1: the most recent episode and the new seasons. She's got
Speaker 1: it really, I haven't watched it yet. It's it's good,
Speaker 1: it really yeah, of course, like moving it along. And
Speaker 1: also they give they gave us good recaps, Loki, she
Speaker 1: smokes too much. She needs a recap, she needs a
Speaker 1: good strong I'm with you. I watched too much TV,
Speaker 1: Like I just can't remember. So like they gave me
Speaker 1: everything I needed to know to dive right back in.
Speaker 1: And I was really also Handmaid's Tale, I watched the
Speaker 1: most recent episode of Handmadtale Girl, they drop you in
Speaker 1: first scene, Matt, you should not watch. I heard that
Speaker 1: first scene is like, oh my, what happens in the
Speaker 1: first scene. Well spoiler for the first scene spoiler alert.
Speaker 1: But essentially all of the Handmaids, like where we last
Speaker 1: left them off, like they all resisted throwing the stones
Speaker 1: at Um. I don't recall the name of the character,
Speaker 1: but they were supposed to stone one of the handmaids
Speaker 1: who had betrayed them to death, and they all dropped
Speaker 1: the stones and said I'm sorry that I can't do it.
Speaker 1: And they were all brought into like ambulances and taken away,
Speaker 1: and that was how it ended. They were all brought
Speaker 1: to Gillette Stadium, which is now like this like um
Speaker 1: post apocalyptic like shadow World, and it's like a and
Speaker 1: owed queen mother and Dowd is there and they all
Speaker 1: get like pushed in and like they're being like cattle
Speaker 1: prodded into the center of the circle and they all
Speaker 1: have these muzzles on, like and the costume designer just
Speaker 1: it's so effective what they put on them. It's truly
Speaker 1: a muzzle. It like covers their mouth and it's it's
Speaker 1: brown and it's leather and it's strapped around them and
Speaker 1: you know, like just act the girl. They're acting through
Speaker 1: their eyeballs and it's so captivating. And they take them
Speaker 1: all up on the thing and there's and you see
Speaker 1: they finally cut to the shot and it's all there's
Speaker 1: all news is there to hang them, to have them
Speaker 1: hanged like it's they're all there's like forty ropes hanging
Speaker 1: and they take them there and they put it on
Speaker 1: them and the music is playing and it's building and
Speaker 1: and hand Me's Tyle has this weird bizarre way of
Speaker 1: like choosing like current music or like making sort of
Speaker 1: song choices that are like a little bit modern. I
Speaker 1: don't know the name of the song, but it was
Speaker 1: like sort of like a current song. It felt like
Speaker 1: sort of poppy in a way. It was one I
Speaker 1: watched her perform on some show. Am I really gonna
Speaker 1: take this fucking avenue off of this story? I was
Speaker 1: just building it up, you know, finished the story and
Speaker 1: then talk about um so anyway, shut up, finish put
Speaker 1: the news on the story. And they're all looking each
Speaker 1: other and their eyes and they're like we're gonna die.
Speaker 1: And you see them go through oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna die. And then oh my god, I'm gonna this
Speaker 1: is gonna end for me. And they're all looking at
Speaker 1: each other and you know, obviously as if you are.
Speaker 1: I'm like, they're not going to kill the whole cast.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what are they gonna do? And and
Speaker 1: out is like like, drop it, screaming my old teacher,
Speaker 1: the kindest woman I've ever known, as like literally like
Speaker 1: gives the car and dad was a teacher of mine. Iconic, Well,
Speaker 1: let's get to her after this. Mone she drops it
Speaker 1: and they dropped like a centimeter to scare them. Oh,
Speaker 1: and she's then she's just like the Lord is your savior.
Speaker 1: He has given you life. You will obey him, and
Speaker 1: like they're all because it changes because you see them
Speaker 1: go through the emotions of I wanted to die, oh
Speaker 1: and I'm not, I'm not, I'm alive and this is
Speaker 1: worse and it's fucking sick and captivating television. You could
Speaker 1: have heard a pin drop in my apartment, Like I mean,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my silent, and it was just
Speaker 1: and then and then the credits roll, bitch, and you
Speaker 1: go get a nice tea because you can't. You you
Speaker 1: can't breathe and in the credit that you go get
Speaker 1: a corona because you you just had a heart attack.
Speaker 1: It's three in the morning. This is me like two
Speaker 1: nights ago. It's captivating television. I watched it on the subway,
Speaker 1: That's how much I wanted to watch episode two. I
Speaker 1: was watching and I saw this girl clocked me on
Speaker 1: the subway like me, like what this this dude watching?
Speaker 1: And he's like he's watching Handmaids Tale, Like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: so heavy. It's it's noon, Oh my god, and it
Speaker 1: is the soliday guys, Can I just say what I
Speaker 1: just quickly do. Alipa is the biggest bit gaze I've
Speaker 1: ever decided to do. She is just it's it's exactly
Speaker 1: what happens whenever all the gates come together and agree
Speaker 1: to do something. Oh my god, you know it will
Speaker 1: be funny. I was huge. I remember when we used
Speaker 1: to be able to Now she's famous, but we used
Speaker 1: to be able to make the joke at game show.
Speaker 1: We used to be like we used to ask the
Speaker 1: straight guys what is and watch them just be like, um,
Speaker 1: it's a vacuum. But anyway, I'll talk about and OWD
Speaker 1: for a second, because she is fantastic. Her and her husband,
Speaker 1: Larry Rancio, who was also an acting teacher of mine.
Speaker 1: They used to work at CAP twenty one, which was
Speaker 1: where I studied music with theater at um Titian and
Speaker 1: why you Um, and it was a wonderful school. It
Speaker 1: has since kind of changed a lot and moved around
Speaker 1: and discontinued from what it sort of used to be.
Speaker 1: But at the time it was a really nice place
Speaker 1: to foster people who loved to sing and loved musical
Speaker 1: theory in an honest way. And they taught you to
Speaker 1: and and Larry specifically, they taught to teach from an
Speaker 1: acting point. First, your song. When you go into song,
Speaker 1: it's because you can't speak these words anymore, you have
Speaker 1: to sing them. That music and dance is that heightened
Speaker 1: place in musical theater where the emotion is so strong,
Speaker 1: it is the impetus to sing. It is what what
Speaker 1: you begin on. And that that's like what musical theaters
Speaker 1: found it on. And and that's why when I go
Speaker 1: see SpongeBob the musical, which I saw last night, um,
Speaker 1: I had my own night at the theater. It was
Speaker 1: very good. It was fun, super camping, but like aware
Speaker 1: of it was it was good. It was what these
Speaker 1: musical y. Yeah, I enjoyed it really much and shout
Speaker 1: out to Steph Shoo you know are and Alex Gibson
Speaker 1: good friends from n y u UM and they were
Speaker 1: fantastic in the show. But like Broadway, if you can
Speaker 1: submit to it, if you can like put your guard
Speaker 1: down for once, like yourself and like let yourself have fun,
Speaker 1: you can really go on a journey. And especially some
Speaker 1: of the voices, Oh my god, this girl who plays Pearl,
Speaker 1: so Pearl and SpongeBob is like, you know Mr Mr
Speaker 1: Crab's daughter, who's the whale. She's got these big platform
Speaker 1: shoes on, which is that's the costume. Is very suggestive,
Speaker 1: like you know, she's not a whale costume. She just
Speaker 1: has these big shoes like and gives the essence of
Speaker 1: like the big whale. Her voice is face melting and
Speaker 1: like literally she's only there. She'd come on like halfway
Speaker 1: through numbers. It was very corral. It was very like
Speaker 1: I'm this character and I have a line. I'm this
Speaker 1: character and I have a line, you know, And she
Speaker 1: would just come on and be like yeah, like just
Speaker 1: blow the house rule number seventy seven culture. She just
Speaker 1: came out there and went yeah, girl, And every time
Speaker 1: I was like grow, I was like, yes, bitch, take
Speaker 1: the stage. This is only for me. This is just
Speaker 1: straight up belting, not even a lyric screw. And I
Speaker 1: knew you guys were watching once on this island at
Speaker 1: the same time. Literally you were watching your shop. It's
Speaker 1: watching my watch crew. Bick o. God he's shot back
Speaker 1: with yet be careful protect That's why you hear it's
Speaker 1: up in these But anyway, um, I was talking about
Speaker 1: and down and I'll just quickly wrap that up that
Speaker 1: um she's wonderful. She is one of the kindest people
Speaker 1: I've ever known. She has an amazing actress like all
Speaker 1: over the place in Masters of Sex, she's phenomenal, Like
Speaker 1: in The Leftovers, she is phenomenal like she and I mean, Hulu,
Speaker 1: how would you forget do um it? You know, it
Speaker 1: made me feel like this woman she and you know
Speaker 1: she was in Garden State. She had a career, but
Speaker 1: when we met her, she was like very much it
Speaker 1: felt like she was still out there auditioning, and she
Speaker 1: was still out there like waiting for the role that
Speaker 1: was going to bust her into the like sort of
Speaker 1: that world. And she had the brightest spirit. She was
Speaker 1: so kind you couldn't say a bad word about her,
Speaker 1: And I felt like I was inspired by that. I said,
Speaker 1: I want to be somebody that people like that, people
Speaker 1: want to that people think of with fondness and know
Speaker 1: that they're out there putting their time in and they're
Speaker 1: not worried about comparing themselves to other people. They're doing
Speaker 1: their time and ready to bloom when they want to bloom.
Speaker 1: And she is really deserving of the moment. I mean,
Speaker 1: and it's I'm coming right from the heart right now.
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like I'm being mushy or whatever,
Speaker 1: but it really comes from the heart. I genuinely think
Speaker 1: this person inspired me to be like, oh wow, good
Speaker 1: people get rewarded and good people like um when you
Speaker 1: when you just stay on it and and don't speak
Speaker 1: all of other people, you really can get there. Um.
Speaker 1: And also just just speaking alone to her acting ability,
Speaker 1: she is an incredible She used to give us notes
Speaker 1: and be like she would just like like somebody doing
Speaker 1: um uh from ragtime. Um, I bid it my heart,
Speaker 1: I'm knocking around when she's when she's burying her child,
Speaker 1: like this this big Oh my god, you neither of
Speaker 1: you know Ragtime and I'm now I'm alone, and all
Speaker 1: the musical theater boys at home are like, you idiot,
Speaker 1: I'll remember it. But essentially this the big number in Ragtime.
Speaker 1: One of my classmates was performing it and she's like
Speaker 1: on her knees being like bury him, bury him, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, like and just like going through the
Speaker 1: motions like with you, like on her knees, taking you there.
Speaker 1: And also if it's a love song, if it's wet
Speaker 1: side story, she's like, she's like, you're in love, Like
Speaker 1: she just had a way of making you rounding, rounding you,
Speaker 1: and and you know, some of these songs are I
Speaker 1: Feel Pretty. She's like you, you're looking at yourself in
Speaker 1: the mirror and you're feeling confident for the first time
Speaker 1: you've ever felt, you know, pulling away I Feel pretty
Speaker 1: like and it's this bouncy number where you just want
Speaker 1: to do like kicks and wear a dress and taking
Speaker 1: you out of that high school mentality and find the
Speaker 1: person inside. What is she seeing? Why is she singing? Um?
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm falling back in love with musical theater right here,
Speaker 1: live on Last culturestest. But I just I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Last night was really important because it maybe it was
Speaker 1: good and it made me realize why this art form
Speaker 1: is so good absolutely, you know, like Hamilton obviously like
Speaker 1: that there there's good theater out there. I have a love,
Speaker 1: I love hate relationship with it. I just I don't
Speaker 1: love the stunt casting and I don't love all all
Speaker 1: of the commercialization, the attitude around, like the audition process exactly.
Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't always feel great. And also like
Speaker 1: the more and more you're going time squared, the more
Speaker 1: and more, it's just like it's it feels like this
Speaker 1: section of six fives. But the art form is beautiful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the art form is beautiful. So I had a
Speaker 1: nice night at the theater last night, even though it
Speaker 1: was silly and it was sponge about the musical. He
Speaker 1: was very talented and also it was a very like
Speaker 1: athletic show. He was like bouncing around. There was some flying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there they were doing things. I yeah, I just gotta say, like,
Speaker 1: so shout out to and out she's a rock star.
Speaker 1: Shout out to and I am just just seeing when
Speaker 1: I bought myself a ticket an orchestra seat for Hello Dolly,
Speaker 1: tell Me. We actually didn't talk about me not talking
Speaker 1: about that truly, I think I think I've talked about
Speaker 1: on the pod, but like well as one of the
Speaker 1: best things I've done for myself. And it was after
Speaker 1: a long week and I went um and just like
Speaker 1: seeing Bernadette like be so loved just this this song
Speaker 1: Hello Dolly, like a triumphant moment, and it's I was
Speaker 1: getting emotion. I was crying like I never cried theater,
Speaker 1: never cried at the movies, but I was crying because
Speaker 1: it's a song about being it's a song about being loved,
Speaker 1: and God, it was so fun and so joyful and
Speaker 1: it wasn't even like a dramatic it's not even a
Speaker 1: dramatic emotional show. But like that groundswell of a number,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this is what this
Speaker 1: is the best thing I've seen ever. It's those ships,
Speaker 1: those shippers you only get from live singing yeah for
Speaker 1: musical theater, And like that's why people shouldn't, like I
Speaker 1: shouldn't perform every now and then. But it's like it's
Speaker 1: good when it's good. When it's good, it's great, yeah,
Speaker 1: but when yeah, exactly, it's it's good, it's good, it's bad,
Speaker 1: it's bad. Ye Sudi, who actually are were about to
Speaker 1: hear from uh just recently wants to go see Mean
Speaker 1: Girls and when she comes back on the show, I
Speaker 1: wanted her to talk about it, but he said that
Speaker 1: the show is funny, like it feels like a fresh
Speaker 1: new Tina fe piece. It was well adapted to this time.
Speaker 1: She said, some of the performances are amazing, specifically Barrett
Speaker 1: Wilbert Weed as I've seen several times and it's always
Speaker 1: blowls me away, special talents, and also Taylor Lawderman who
Speaker 1: plays Regina George, who apparently is like a lead actress
Speaker 1: of the show. They beat a part up incredible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to humanize the bully these we want to
Speaker 1: see the other thing. We want to see a fully
Speaker 1: textured Regina. So he was saying, there's like really well
Speaker 1: updated scenes that sort of even though that was that
Speaker 1: movie was you know, it wasn't antifeminar, like it doesn't
Speaker 1: need to be updated. It's you know, it's now, you know,
Speaker 1: fourteen years ago, so so it does need to be
Speaker 1: updated for the times, and that they did that well
Speaker 1: for the modern modern era, that maybe though still iconic
Speaker 1: for the ages. I'm saying ahead of its time. People
Speaker 1: say like Network is ahead of its time still I
Speaker 1: still think. I mean girls like some of like just
Speaker 1: the way the dialogue pops, I'm like, oh my god, wow,
Speaker 1: like you know said, actually it was very I've heard
Speaker 1: two reviews of this movie from people that I like,
Speaker 1: super respect that I've seen it, and one of them
Speaker 1: was not so good and I won't say who said it,
Speaker 1: but it was not a good review. And then Sudi
Speaker 1: was like, it was amazing. So I think that it
Speaker 1: might be one of those things where if you go
Speaker 1: with a certain mentality expecting a certain thing, you might
Speaker 1: be disappointed. But Sudi seemed to really like it, and
Speaker 1: she said that, um, like a lot of the classic
Speaker 1: lines are there, but it didn't feel like a juke
Speaker 1: boxy we're relying on the movie type thing. It feel
Speaker 1: like its own fresh thing, which I'm excited. I'm picturing
Speaker 1: like sort of a cross. I'm picturing like Illegally Blonde,
Speaker 1: which I think was a good It was snappy way work, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I mean, like her big note and like watching her
Speaker 1: try to hit it every time was like the take
Speaker 1: away this hook, Oh my god, oh my god, you
Speaker 1: guys it was all about Yeah, of course there it is.
Speaker 1: It was, honestly, but it was a good musical, so
Speaker 1: I'm sort of expecting that which I thought was snappy
Speaker 1: and fun. Well, yeah, I mean I definitely want to
Speaker 1: go see it. Absolutely, I would love to, especially before
Speaker 1: the Tony nominations. Once those come out, it's impossible. I
Speaker 1: remember when you were able to see jar Evan Hansen.
Speaker 1: Then when all that nonsense went went down forget it.
Speaker 1: So actually, um, for today's voice, ma'am, oh you bitch,
Speaker 1: we have a message from Sudie Green, who actually, Um,
Speaker 1: this is Sudi Green, who is our friend who's in
Speaker 1: the industry quote unquote already ready so much for taking
Speaker 1: the time to hop on the phone with me. Um,
Speaker 1: it's me suity. Um, we're a longtime friend, short time fan. UM.
Speaker 1: I am so excited for everything that most culture stas
Speaker 1: is doing, you know, cluster Fest and the like. Um,
Speaker 1: and I just feel that as your friend, it would
Speaker 1: be honestly shitty of meat not really trying to develop
Speaker 1: you guys and really get you at least a web series,
Speaker 1: you know, and um, things are opening up in the
Speaker 1: quarter hour space. You know, before the paywall, after the paywall,
Speaker 1: you know, the form is going out the window. And
Speaker 1: you know, if we can really capitalize on what you
Speaker 1: guys are doing, UM, I think we could get you,
Speaker 1: you know, five thousand dollars to split. I'll call it
Speaker 1: pitches here for you, um, you know, just to throw
Speaker 1: some things out there. Um. And before I pitch this,
Speaker 1: I just I think it's important to state that I'm
Speaker 1: a straight, white presenting woman. Okay, So the first pitch
Speaker 1: and I have for you guys is, girl snag that wig.
Speaker 1: Bow and Matt visit Republican women and introduce them to
Speaker 1: weaves and falls and clippings to make their hair fuller
Speaker 1: and their lives more interesting. It's funny but ultimately heartwarming
Speaker 1: and profound. My next idea, you know, just brown things
Speaker 1: out there is uh straight boy gay body, um where
Speaker 1: Bowen and Matt makeum one of their girlfriend's boyfriends go
Speaker 1: to a Beyonce Soule cycle class with them, and it's
Speaker 1: very funny but ultimately heartwarming profound. Um. Then there's this
Speaker 1: idea that I have. UM tentative title is can I
Speaker 1: borrow that? It's four show where YouTube boys come over
Speaker 1: to me or mo or. You know, even Amanda one
Speaker 1: of our apartments and you read our closets, and Matt,
Speaker 1: you tell me that everything is too big for you. Um,
Speaker 1: and then I don't see it for six months. Um,
Speaker 1: so that's fun Matt, you have my made well overalls
Speaker 1: I haven't forgotten. And then, um, you know it's funny. Sorry,
Speaker 1: But ultimately, UM, I get my made well overalls back.
Speaker 1: And then I get the last idea. You know, we've
Speaker 1: been talking about this for a while. I think it's
Speaker 1: finally time that we do it. Wrinkle in Time the
Speaker 1: musical the title track, sing it with me only the tolet.
Speaker 1: So I guess we'll just you know, circle back about
Speaker 1: those what you guys feel most passionate about. And um,
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for the future. That was green our friends.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, give it up. She's trying to develop us.
Speaker 1: She's smart. She's the smartest girl I know. She's certainly
Speaker 1: got plenty of good ideas there. I don't know about
Speaker 1: us going and introducing women to weaves, I don't know
Speaker 1: about that, Um, but a couple of the other ones.
Speaker 1: I think we had some legs straight bid gay bodies.
Speaker 1: I believe as a whole series. Oh my god, and
Speaker 1: it's ultimately heartwarming and profound. So we've come to that
Speaker 1: time in the show where it is time to play.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, even if you went out
Speaker 1: to brunch and playing it with your girl. Oh my god. Alright,
Speaker 1: So all you out there, all you sensations, this is
Speaker 1: the part of the show where you take one minute
Speaker 1: to rail against something in pop culture that you're not
Speaker 1: feeling right now in a certain type of way. And
Speaker 1: I think that, actually, I know that we both have
Speaker 1: pre selected topics. I have one, and so let's go
Speaker 1: with bone first. Okay, here we go. This is bone Yanks.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. And as time starts now,
Speaker 1: I don't think so many people who joke casually about suicide, like, oh,
Speaker 1: go kill yourself. Oh I'm gonna kill myself, shoot me
Speaker 1: in the fucking face. Oh hey, suicide is a real
Speaker 1: fucking thing. I don't mean to be like Virtue signally here,
Speaker 1: but honestly, like, come up with a better joke. I
Speaker 1: know it's an extreme image, but you can do better, girl, Like, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of this too. I've like casually thrown it
Speaker 1: out there, but then I was like, wait, I heard it,
Speaker 1: and I was I heard it someone else do it recently,
Speaker 1: and I was like, wait a minute, No, we can
Speaker 1: do better than this. We should expect better of ourselves.
Speaker 1: Maybe joke about how you would rather, you know, read
Speaker 1: a book in a quiet room for hours because that's
Speaker 1: torture to you, or you know, like fall down the
Speaker 1: stairs intentionally, Like that's a less severe, lesson example of that.
Speaker 1: So you know what, I don't think many people who
Speaker 1: want to joke about suicide casually, like, I know it's
Speaker 1: an easy go to, but find something better. I beg
Speaker 1: of you. You are a better person and conversationalist and
Speaker 1: comedian for that if you can make something else work.
Speaker 1: And that is one minute, I have to agree. I
Speaker 1: also think it'd be funnier instead of saying, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell myself to be like I'm gonna throw myself
Speaker 1: down the stairs. It's just more visual and it's more active.
Speaker 1: It's funnier. I get more recover from that picture. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna throw myself off a cruise liner. Well, I think
Speaker 1: it's more fun. Um okay, so I'm ready to go okay, alright,
Speaker 1: because Matt Rodgers is I don't think so honey. His
Speaker 1: time starts now. I don't think so honey. Live voting
Speaker 1: on these reality competition shows with singing okay, because let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, I don't think so any of
Speaker 1: the deck being stacked for people that have cable in
Speaker 1: Middle America. I don't think so honey. On American Idol
Speaker 1: when the entire top four is all people of color
Speaker 1: and women, including a drag performer who was great on
Speaker 1: American Idol, that they're all on the bottom and then
Speaker 1: get eliminated because the deck is stacked for the white
Speaker 1: people in Middle America who still have cable who are
Speaker 1: fucking watching Rosanne. When you make it a live voting
Speaker 1: thing that they can only vote that night, that means
Speaker 1: people that stream who can't watch at night later cool
Speaker 1: people cannot vote, And I don't like it if I
Speaker 1: don't want to have to center my week around American
Speaker 1: Idol Wednesday, whatever fucking night it's on to make sure
Speaker 1: I can vote, but I want to have a voice
Speaker 1: because I'm American as well, So stop stacking the deck
Speaker 1: for all these country blonde singers, even if they're good.
Speaker 1: American Idol, we see you. I don't think the Voice
Speaker 1: also does it to live voting, and it results in
Speaker 1: bad people continuing and good people getting voted out. I agree,
Speaker 1: And it's racially. I think, like questionable sure that the
Speaker 1: bottom four is all people of color, and like everyone
Speaker 1: in the top is white. Every time that happens, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I would be. It's the same reason
Speaker 1: why I like, you know, like white queens on drag
Speaker 1: Race get more Instagram followers than black ones, right, And
Speaker 1: it's just like I'm so happy there's no voting element
Speaker 1: with drag Race, because like that would make it truly insane.
Speaker 1: And I definitely feel like I get it. It's American idol,
Speaker 1: Like sure, the Voice, like they decide, But that's a
Speaker 1: problem I have with the Voice, Like it can matter
Speaker 1: so much with the judges saying, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden it doesn't at all, And like it's really
Speaker 1: not about the Voice because America is calling judging on
Speaker 1: however many subjective opinions, So American idol, I get the
Speaker 1: public vote, but the Voice can do better and figure
Speaker 1: out how their system would make more sense for what
Speaker 1: it's about. I don't like relying on the live Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was X factor always relying on the vote to
Speaker 1: they had to vote, and also like not in America, no, no, no, wait,
Speaker 1: the judges decided based on America, based on the voting.
Speaker 1: The judges ultimately made decisions, but but like the public voted,
Speaker 1: and then later on in the competition it was just
Speaker 1: the public. But I like the X Factor as a model.
Speaker 1: It just didn't work in America because I think Simon
Speaker 1: Cowell is toxic. But the thing is, like, there's a
Speaker 1: way to figure out these reality shows so that they're
Speaker 1: almost there, so that the ones like the Voice that
Speaker 1: are almost there could just be fully there. It's just
Speaker 1: a little bit the rules don't make sense. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: hear that. That's what I feel. That's good. That's good commentary. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Um So this is Dave Mazzoni's I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. I know we alluded to it earlier
Speaker 1: in the show, but I'm here to talk about it
Speaker 1: and it's I don't think so, honey, Dame Zzoni. And
Speaker 1: remember he is a finalist at Coach War. This is
Speaker 1: someone who knows what the fuck is pretty far. You're
Speaker 1: the Alaska of that competition for season five. Thank you
Speaker 1: bring back and your time starts now. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Hunting Katie Perry right here, right now, in this day,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. With your Aaron Carter looking at
Speaker 1: I'm not here for it, like I mean, this is
Speaker 1: all coming from American Idol. Today, I watched Katy Perry
Speaker 1: enter the set of American Idol in a snow full
Speaker 1: snow white costume. Lionel who's the other judge? I don't
Speaker 1: even know, Luke Bryant. They're just in regular like in
Speaker 1: like Katy Perry comes in in a in snow white garb.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Bitch, you are a billboard, you
Speaker 1: are a pepsi. You are burger king what happened to
Speaker 1: um like thinking of you to acoustic? Give me because
Speaker 1: I saw you at Highlighted Ballroom for fifteen dollars and
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. Girl, you are a barri kay.
Speaker 1: You are the Panera bread of pop starts it. I
Speaker 1: don't think so, Honey, you saw that for American Idol.
Speaker 1: I don't care if that check is you. You suck.
Speaker 1: That's going to have a lot of fans. That was
Speaker 1: one minute exactly. I want to let you guys, the
Speaker 1: viewers know that it hit one minute and I was
Speaker 1: perfectly finished. He was really what you took a goddamn
Speaker 1: breath at the end. And also, guess what, it's amazing
Speaker 1: that after that because I've thought, but right before I
Speaker 1: hit the button, I was like, oh, we just pumped
Speaker 1: him up by saying he was a finalist and cultual.
Speaker 1: I hope the bitch brings it. And the bitch bro girl,
Speaker 1: she's blonde now she's got a lot of confidence. That's
Speaker 1: what that was called blond abission bitch, guys. And I'm
Speaker 1: also trying out this fake down h J. I fucking
Speaker 1: am obsessed with love it. I don't think I would
Speaker 1: ever get my ear peers because I'm purely afraid of
Speaker 1: the pain. But I'm trying it out on one side,
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of into it. Think you, I think
Speaker 1: it's really good if I don't love the earring, but
Speaker 1: also you're entitled. I respect you. It feels very like
Speaker 1: Helix Studios. For those of you out there, and many
Speaker 1: of you probably doing, why don't we leave it at that?
Speaker 1: Let's leave it at that, guys. This has been so
Speaker 1: much fun. I love my sister, and my sister always
Speaker 1: have a good time racing again, in a sort of
Speaker 1: a chanting type and a cult in a cult formation,
