Speaker 1: Look man, oh I see you? Why look over there?
Speaker 1: How is that nulture? Yes? Goodness ding lost culture? Wow, Bowen.
Speaker 1: I already have failed the pod mission this year, which
Speaker 1: is that I have not yet started the Real Friends
Speaker 1: of West Hollywood. Oh I haven't either, right on the
Speaker 1: same page, Hume, do we just abandon that now? Because
Speaker 1: can I tell you the poor person who was working
Speaker 1: the social media for the show? Oh, god, beleaguer, beliaguer.
Speaker 1: But there it is, God bless because they're really leading
Speaker 1: into it. They tweeted, why you guys, fifty people watched
Speaker 1: the first episode. I think it was twenty body knows,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was twenty and so they tweeted this,
Speaker 1: and then there was another people where they were like,
Speaker 1: we know we're not as fun as drag Race, but
Speaker 1: stick around after it's like it was, it was we
Speaker 1: know you're not as excited as we are, which I
Speaker 1: think is an interesting way to respond to the quote
Speaker 1: unquote backlash, because it's honestly like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: responding to negativity with negativity is necessarily a winning strategy,
Speaker 1: if we're to look to time, I don't know that
Speaker 1: that's ever resulted in something. Uh, sorry to say, but
Speaker 1: hashtag better if you know you know today. But I
Speaker 1: will say that, um, I was not one of the
Speaker 1: fifty people, not because I didn't want to as whatever
Speaker 1: it is, whatever many thousands of people or however a
Speaker 1: few thousands people it was, I was not one, just
Speaker 1: because I was at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend
Speaker 1: and so there was no time to stop for the
Speaker 1: real friends of who I was with, the real filmmakers
Speaker 1: of Park City. Oh my god, you want to share
Speaker 1: about Sundays before we get into it with our guests.
Speaker 1: While I was there on a branded partnership, thank you
Speaker 1: very much, and I did not get to see any movies,
Speaker 1: but I did have boots on the ground on ears
Speaker 1: to the ground about what was well received. We want
Speaker 1: to say a huge congrats two friends of the Pod
Speaker 1: then Platt, Molly Gordy and Patty Harrison and Noah Galvin
Speaker 1: has not been on the Pod yet but will be
Speaker 1: one day soon. And they have theater Camp, which was
Speaker 1: rapturously well received and produced by our producer Will Ferrell. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that was received very well. I also heard that
Speaker 1: Anne Hathaway is quite the lesbian in the film Eileen
Speaker 1: and Anne Hathaway sort of had the what they say
Speaker 1: is kids gagging on the carpet up at Sundance because
Speaker 1: she was wearing a big puffy coat. She was bearing
Speaker 1: her legs and then boots, and she was giving how
Speaker 1: you do Sundance red carpets? And I heard she plays
Speaker 1: quite a lesbian in this movie, Eileen, quite a lesbian.
Speaker 1: That was really what was relevant to my interests on
Speaker 1: the ground in Sundance. A gorgeous tiny city that pretends
Speaker 1: it's quaint, but it's extremely corporate and we gotta figure
Speaker 1: it out. You wait in more lines at Sundance than
Speaker 1: you do at walt Is New World in Orlando, Florida.
Speaker 1: But that being said, it is where I was the
Speaker 1: week prior, so I went from Orlando to Park City,
Speaker 1: and uh, that was the one to punch of maximalism.
Speaker 1: The climate whip lash and my neck is definitely hurting.
Speaker 1: But bone you had quite the weekend. I was fighting
Speaker 1: a nasty cold, did you guys? I could feel my
Speaker 1: voice slipping through my fingers on Friday, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I need to have this voice, mamma, something to your fingers.
Speaker 1: I was doing shots of olive oil I've never that
Speaker 1: is it? Because Bonnie's making a face we did not
Speaker 1: have access to, like a demon Haler. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I think
Speaker 1: maybe it's not shots of olive oil. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: ask our guests in a little bit. Yeah, and we
Speaker 1: have what I'm sure is a vocal health expert here,
Speaker 1: and so we're all going to need to consult the
Speaker 1: professionals here. We have one with us today. Listen. I
Speaker 1: just want to say another thing, which was bo That
Speaker 1: episode with alre Plaza was fucking good. The Megan two
Speaker 1: point shout out to Jimmy Fawley, that was Sullivan, Chloe
Speaker 1: Fineman cancer Bla Allison Gates of a lovely piece, and
Speaker 1: your George Santouse we're going to call it George Santos.
Speaker 1: Runner was absolutely fab I think it's a flash in
Speaker 1: the pan. I think I would, I would. We hope,
Speaker 1: I hope we don't see him for much longer. That
Speaker 1: it's a quick burnout with that one, because I'm already exhausted.
Speaker 1: Were exhausted, we really are. And so this voice that
Speaker 1: resonantly sort of has been in the background but can't
Speaker 1: help us sort of. Spring Forth is one of one
Speaker 1: of the most talented people on what they call about
Speaker 1: in the Great White Way. Now that's actually a rule
Speaker 1: culture about Broadway is they call it the Great White Way.
Speaker 1: And which rule culture is that sixty five? It's ruler
Speaker 1: culture number sixty five Broadway. They call it the Great Way,
Speaker 1: and there is a great White voice on it right
Speaker 1: now and title of Great White Great it's true, the
Speaker 1: Great White Voices. That's a culture that's number sixty six.
Speaker 1: And this is no different because Kimberly a Kimbo Bo,
Speaker 1: you're fresh from the fight. I'm fresh from the fight.
Speaker 1: I loved this show so so much. I just it's
Speaker 1: fab fab and I just shot u out of my
Speaker 1: seat at the end, I was like, God, it's so refreshing,
Speaker 1: Like it's been so long since I've seen like a
Speaker 1: lean cast like this all doing such incredible work. I mean,
Speaker 1: every person so wonderfully occupying this stage together. And I
Speaker 1: mean our guest is such a highlight of the show.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna get to this later. But like the
Speaker 1: speaking voice itself on its own, just you could really
Speaker 1: take a bath in it. Just gorgeous and smooth and
Speaker 1: as people make up that Barbara says this like butter,
Speaker 1: like butter, and it also not for nothing but real comedy,
Speaker 1: real jokes. I mean, I don't think I've been to
Speaker 1: like a Broadway performance that I was like really blown
Speaker 1: away by how real and current and hard the humor
Speaker 1: felt like I can't say enough. It also features a
Speaker 1: lead performance from Victoria Clark, who is the legend who
Speaker 1: is certainly giving one of the best performances on Broadway
Speaker 1: right now. Just like our guests, who you also know
Speaker 1: from Head over Heels. If you came to our last
Speaker 1: Culture Racist Cultural Awards, you were lucky enough to see
Speaker 1: our guests and friend of the Pod, the Icon Natalie
Speaker 1: Walker sing Record of the Year nominee. All I Want
Speaker 1: for Christmas is you live and seeing the notes for
Speaker 1: Best Note ever. So yes, that was quite the sequence
Speaker 1: in the show. You know were from Search Party. Listen
Speaker 1: if I have anything to say about it, Tony front runner,
Speaker 1: this year's front runner, this year. We're saying it now, right, Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so everyone, please welcome into your ears body. I can't
Speaker 1: believe I had a vocalist on the show and my
Speaker 1: voice cracked while I shouted her name in the introod.
Speaker 1: Shots of olive oil good or bad? What's your recommendation.
Speaker 1: I feel like when you're losing your voice, first of all,
Speaker 1: vocal rest it's going to be your best. Yeah, of course,
Speaker 1: some steam up your immune system. I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of vitamins of wellness formula from Whole Foods. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it might be a placebo effect, but I feel stronger. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: take anything when I'm not in a show, and then
Speaker 1: when I manage show, I'm like, okay, I gotta take this.
Speaker 1: Reginal oil is a big one and like breaks up
Speaker 1: mucus and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's rough. After
Speaker 1: you put that on your tongue, it feels like you're
Speaker 1: swallowing a slice of pizza without the good pizza part
Speaker 1: of it. That's your breath for a while. That's rough. Um.
Speaker 1: Some tea a tea I recommend called throat Coatney. If
Speaker 1: you don't have any tea around, you just have hot water,
Speaker 1: put like four one of those original rocolas that are
Speaker 1: made with honey in there and stirred around and like
Speaker 1: that is a Victoria Clark and really Victoria Clark herself
Speaker 1: from Vicky Clark herself after I saw you. I got
Speaker 1: to meet Victoria Clark and that was a moment in time.
Speaker 1: And she's cool as you would have two bow and
Speaker 1: she was so excited also her husband and she like
Speaker 1: Yang was here. I was like, I know, I invited him.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I got I was with Josh Sharp
Speaker 1: and we got up in because my phone was too
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Bonnie got to meet the House. Bonnie
Speaker 1: met Patrick Rodgers. Bonnie met Patrick Rogers. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal show. Everyone goes see it. The hashtag
Speaker 1: better reference earlier is a reference to I saw on
Speaker 1: the Bonnie Things streaming now on Spotify, streaming now on Spotify.
Speaker 1: It's so good, Janina. Sorry, David Lindsay Abart, their genius
Speaker 1: sor the versatility. Yeah, I mean, look at all of
Speaker 1: her scurse. She goes from thoroughly modern Millie to Violet
Speaker 1: to fun Home to Mama sh Shrek, Mama Carolina Change,
Speaker 1: Carolina Change. Come on, that's all her. That's Crezzy and
Speaker 1: David Lindsay Abart and her wrote Trek together, so that
Speaker 1: team wrote Shrek and then wrote Kimbaly giving range. Do
Speaker 1: you think she thinks of Shrek? That's her greatest work.
Speaker 1: I think absolutely. I never got to see it neither.
Speaker 1: I never saw that's a sudden performance that like I've
Speaker 1: missed out for the longest time. The pro shot was
Speaker 1: on Netflix. I don't know if it's still out there,
Speaker 1: really look into it. I remember this. I am a
Speaker 1: huge fan of Approach Shot. I love Approach Shot. I
Speaker 1: love Approach Shot. There was a time where, um, you
Speaker 1: could go to God, what is it. I guess it's like, yes,
Speaker 1: Lincoln Center, and you could see like every pro shot
Speaker 1: of any show ever. You had to give like a
Speaker 1: weird reason, like, oh, I'm researching for a paper. Are
Speaker 1: you know hand over anything goes hand it over. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not writing a paper about not tapping but were belting.
Speaker 1: I'm not writing on paper. Is that trauma that Patty
Speaker 1: Litte didn't tap because she was belting so much? As
Speaker 1: I say, why would she let me say? I think
Speaker 1: it's so funny, like she comes down, She's like, I
Speaker 1: think she did tap a little. But it just makes
Speaker 1: me laugh that they would like pretend to make that happen.
Speaker 1: I'm like, just let the woman stand in bark. One's
Speaker 1: gonna be mad. No one's mad. I want to hear it.
Speaker 1: But speaking of Sutton, then you have Sutton who does
Speaker 1: tap the whole fucking thing and it's godly, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a spiritual experience. Fact. Fact. Wait, why do you say,
Speaker 1: like there used to be a time that you can
Speaker 1: go to? Like, can you don't do that anymore? I
Speaker 1: haven't tried it. I mean, I'm sure you can. Okay.
Speaker 1: I think I said used to be a time because
Speaker 1: we were in college when that was a thing. I
Speaker 1: associate it with being something in the past, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I associated with a different time
Speaker 1: in New York? How's New York changed the topic of discussion?
Speaker 1: How's the New York change? There used to be more
Speaker 1: about pianos? So, yes, it has it? Has it has changed?
Speaker 1: It has it has got for the better? Hashtag better
Speaker 1: that number is so big and great and amazing. But
Speaker 1: we were talking about, like, so the vocal quality the
Speaker 1: entire time. Obviously that sung comes and it is just
Speaker 1: an absolute barn burner and you tear the whole house down.
Speaker 1: But what I love about your performance so much as
Speaker 1: you play like the ant in the show and she
Speaker 1: comes in and she's like already like her presence precedes
Speaker 1: her in this way where it's just like, Oh, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be a character that's going to knock down
Speaker 1: the house, like you know what I mean, Like this
Speaker 1: is going to be like a rambunctious moment. And then
Speaker 1: you come in and the vocal choice is so soft
Speaker 1: the whole time, and it really is just how you
Speaker 1: speak now, And I would imagine that on the page
Speaker 1: they're sort of insinuating that this is going to be
Speaker 1: like a larger than life character, especially because you know
Speaker 1: it's written in the way that it is and the
Speaker 1: big numbers that you get, like I wonder about the
Speaker 1: choice to play this the way that you did well
Speaker 1: for me. It is funny because you know it was
Speaker 1: a play first, and so when David lindsay A Beart
Speaker 1: was talking about how it was always played in the
Speaker 1: play version was like a steamroller, you know, a big
Speaker 1: bull takes over everything, and they're like, what you brought
Speaker 1: into it was a pickpocket and but I don't notice
Speaker 1: my wallet's gone till I'm on the train. And then
Speaker 1: story was like, but you left like a rap candy,
Speaker 1: and I was like, exactly, you're welcome. So I look
Speaker 1: at it as like I'm giving you a Harold Hill
Speaker 1: and Kimberly woman. I am like pipe piper with the kids.
Speaker 1: The best part about Better is when the show a
Speaker 1: choir is like that looks fun. Let me start singing,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, I can use this all right, Yes,
Speaker 1: dance live okay. Um that she's going to read people
Speaker 1: and see what they need. Wait for the people that
Speaker 1: don't know the show that can you elevate her picture
Speaker 1: because I'm realizing they may not understand? Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: So Victoria Clark plays a teenage girl who has a
Speaker 1: fictional aging disease that ages her like four and a
Speaker 1: half times faster than normal. So she is turning sixteen,
Speaker 1: but she's in the body of like somebody who looks
Speaker 1: like she's in her sixties. And the average life expectancy
Speaker 1: of this disease is sixteen, so she's nearing her birthday.
Speaker 1: Her family's a mess. Her dad's an alcoholic, her mom's
Speaker 1: a narcissist with two casts because she got double corporate
Speaker 1: tunnel of surgery. But like, does she still need the cast?
Speaker 1: We don't know. You know, she's kind of like she's
Speaker 1: so obsessed with herself that she's kind of the adult
Speaker 1: in the home. I play her mom's sister, who is
Speaker 1: a fun loving con artist who comes into town about
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes into the show. And I have a
Speaker 1: big scam that I want to recruit Kimberly for in
Speaker 1: doing that my first big number. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to wait, like to make money to get a ticket.
Speaker 1: And you shouldn't wait either, you know, wink wink, baby,
Speaker 1: You and got a lot of time. Um, And if
Speaker 1: you want, what I love about her is she just
Speaker 1: makes stuff happen. She's you know, she's surviving. So I
Speaker 1: gotta do something. Well, I'm not educated. I've clearly been
Speaker 1: in Bridson a few times. Um, you make it happen
Speaker 1: for yourself. Nobody else is going to help you. Is
Speaker 1: like the lesson I tried to teacher, Like, your mom's
Speaker 1: are gonna take you to Disneyland? Baby, you gotta take
Speaker 1: yourself and how you're going to do that. You gotta
Speaker 1: do this a legal scheme with me, and you gotta
Speaker 1: do a quick mail checkwashing scheme with it. It's casual,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. And so I think the one
Speaker 1: real person she cares about is Kimberly and uh, and
Speaker 1: I come back into her life to get her to
Speaker 1: do this, and then all of a sudden, she's like
Speaker 1: a teenage girl who I don't know about you too.
Speaker 1: I have like a niece I remember who like worshiped
Speaker 1: me and then became an age where it was like
Speaker 1: not so cool, and I think Kimmy's in that place,
Speaker 1: so DeBras in this weird flux of what do I do, Like,
Speaker 1: Oh God, I gotta give her this pitch, you know,
Speaker 1: And that's a song that we keep talking about, is
Speaker 1: the pitch to have her join my scam. I mean,
Speaker 1: the show really obviously activates in terms of like they're
Speaker 1: being this break into action when shows up. But God,
Speaker 1: like you really do like carry the comedy so well
Speaker 1: as soon as you walk on stage, like Josh and
Speaker 1: I are just like okay, like we're off to the races,
Speaker 1: Like Bonnie's coming with like these like micro expressions, and
Speaker 1: like God, it's just so effortless coming from you. And
Speaker 1: you really are one of those performers who like can
Speaker 1: just spin the comedy plate just as well as like
Speaker 1: the belting plate, Like you have this incredible voice on
Speaker 1: top of like knowing how to deliver so many fun moments.
Speaker 1: It's a very confident thing to be quiet in the comedy,
Speaker 1: especially on Broadway. But that's what's fun. I remember we're
Speaker 1: in rehearsal and Janine t Sory was like, I just
Speaker 1: love that you undercut when I don't expect it and
Speaker 1: you can figure. And she's like, your comedy is unexpected
Speaker 1: and it's just it's really fun. She wrote, Um, the
Speaker 1: top of Act two is me teaching the kids how
Speaker 1: to wash checks. It's called how to wash check. She
Speaker 1: wrote it for me. She's like, because you brought this
Speaker 1: like sensuality in this like like this pulled back like
Speaker 1: and I was like, I gotta be cool, you know,
Speaker 1: like I gotta be this energy that the kids want
Speaker 1: to start singing with me Timmy who doesn't have friends,
Speaker 1: like they want to be her friends with her because
Speaker 1: like that woman is crazy, but she's also kind of
Speaker 1: fun to be around, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 1: I horrify them in one moment, and then they want
Speaker 1: to be around me in the next. It's like, what
Speaker 1: is that? So I don't think that's loud loud, loud, big,
Speaker 1: big big. I don't be around that, but I want
Speaker 1: to be around somebody that's exciting and like unexpected, and
Speaker 1: so I think that's where that sort of came from.
Speaker 1: I'm like an actor first, so everything just comes from
Speaker 1: that place, like, well, what is the moment? Like what
Speaker 1: am I doing? So I'm not gonna be big all
Speaker 1: the time. I'm gonna do this and it's it is
Speaker 1: really fun to play and to play what the audience
Speaker 1: is giving me, Like you know, some nights are like
Speaker 1: a rowdy and it's really fun. I'm like, okay, they
Speaker 1: want me to be a little extra naughty, like this
Speaker 1: is fun um and some of that are like, oh god,
Speaker 1: that's a mad night, you know, like I'm still gonna
Speaker 1: mess with you, but in a little different way now,
Speaker 1: like it's it's it like keeps it fresh? Okay, wait
Speaker 1: can I ask a question? And then this is maybe wrong,
Speaker 1: but I find that I try to avoid matinee's because
Speaker 1: I feel like, inherently in a matinee there's going to
Speaker 1: be a more relaxed matinee ish let's say energy. But
Speaker 1: is that true as someone who's performing matinee's all the
Speaker 1: time as well as night shows, Like is there a
Speaker 1: difference between a matinee and the evening performance? I can't say,
Speaker 1: like for a hundred percent, but I do think in
Speaker 1: general a lot of less so on Sundays because it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, the last show the way like it's a
Speaker 1: three o'clock as opposed to like a Wednesday Mattinee is
Speaker 1: typically quieter, but sometimes we'll have a rowdy one because
Speaker 1: a lot of shows don't do Wednesday matts. They made
Speaker 1: do like a Sunday double show instead, so we have
Speaker 1: like other actors present, you know, and then they can
Speaker 1: liven up a crowd. Also, our show, while incredibly funny,
Speaker 1: is also really deep. It's like life, right, So some
Speaker 1: audiences are just really listening and so you're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's comedy, please laugh. And then I know
Speaker 1: there's tears too, but come on and I'll leave. I'll
Speaker 1: be like, well that audience hated us, and I come
Speaker 1: out and it's like cheers and insanity, like like they
Speaker 1: loved it. They were just really leaning in. And I
Speaker 1: remember one time I was, you know, very close to
Speaker 1: the front of the stage is when I give Kim
Speaker 1: Kimmy her birthday gift, and I'm you know, like sometimes
Speaker 1: it's big laugh sincetimes, it's not you're just oh, I
Speaker 1: love this moment. Yeah, and just playing on it. The
Speaker 1: pine cone. So you know, I've been in the woods
Speaker 1: and I don't have a job, so what I've been
Speaker 1: toting around a giant pine cone. I saw that. I
Speaker 1: was like, she would love this, and I'm really proud
Speaker 1: of it. And it's like and so I wrap it
Speaker 1: in toilet paper. I don't have wrapping paper, and so
Speaker 1: you know, I handreed this thing really proud and everybody's like,
Speaker 1: what is a pine coat? Like, it's giant, It's a giant.
Speaker 1: I think it's such a great comedy because you you
Speaker 1: play that down to you You're like, it's a plank coat.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Josh and I were laughing. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: one matinee of this guy I could hear he was,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm so close to the front row and
Speaker 1: I just out of my periphery because I don't really
Speaker 1: like to look into the audience during the show. I
Speaker 1: saw him like holding himself. I mean like and I
Speaker 1: was like, let it out, it's okay. You know, like
Speaker 1: in general sometimes the matinees are quieter, but it's not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually what's really indicative of that was we were
Speaker 1: there Patrick and I were there and we have loud laughs,
Speaker 1: and we were watching it like a comedy show. I know,
Speaker 1: the fire alarm is going off in the background. I
Speaker 1: just got an email that it's going to be like
Speaker 1: this all day unfortunately, and so I'm in the mute
Speaker 1: myself when I speak, but this is and leave this
Speaker 1: in for the readers because this is real life and myself,
Speaker 1: I don't speak, but let me just say in terms
Speaker 1: of noe made, in terms of noises being made, um,
Speaker 1: me and my friend Patrick were laughing very loud, and
Speaker 1: a much older woman turned to us and scolded us,
Speaker 1: and you need to stop. And I said no, and
Speaker 1: I said, I said in a convoye, no, you need
Speaker 1: to stop. And she turned back around and she stopped,
Speaker 1: and she did not get back in my face, but
Speaker 1: I did say kindly. I was like, no, it's a show.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you were. I was laughing at the jokes,
Speaker 1: so I have the loudest laugh. So when I shows like,
Speaker 1: I know, like that's what we want to hear. Like,
Speaker 1: if it's written to be funny, friends, you're supposed to laugh,
Speaker 1: and you're going to get a better show from the
Speaker 1: actors on stage. The more attentive you are, because like
Speaker 1: we're always giving, because you know, we're professionals. But it's
Speaker 1: a little more fun when the audience is raucous and
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, you know, like it brings something else
Speaker 1: out of me. They're a part of the show there,
Speaker 1: You're part of the experience. And so I will laugh
Speaker 1: so loud, and I often get scolded, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: and I will look at people and I go, it's
Speaker 1: funny period, and I are loud laughers, but one you
Speaker 1: can hear from a mile away left and it's one
Speaker 1: of my favorite things to caustic laugh. I did hear
Speaker 1: you a few times yesterday and my heart because it
Speaker 1: was good and funny. Come on, what do you do?
Speaker 1: What do you want from us? At the end, I
Speaker 1: was really sobbing. I mean I can't even say enough
Speaker 1: to everyone. We enjoyed this so much. You will laugh,
Speaker 1: you will cry, you will scream, you will gasp. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's one of those why it's so good, I think,
Speaker 1: why it's resonated with so many people like It came
Speaker 1: out off Broadway at the Atlantic Theater last year for
Speaker 1: a couple of months, and it was one of the
Speaker 1: first shows post pandemic, and it's this message in the
Speaker 1: show that like nobody gets a second time around, so
Speaker 1: like what are you gonna do with the life that
Speaker 1: you have? It was so resonated with everybody because it's like, wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: and we all everybody lost something, whether it was an
Speaker 1: actual person, a job, or livelihood just regular life. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean probably the super rich who have like mansions
Speaker 1: and tennis courts and pools were fine, but guess but
Speaker 1: like the rest of us, we all, you know, lost
Speaker 1: something and it was really scary. And so to go
Speaker 1: into the show that it's like and what Vicky does
Speaker 1: is just so magical, like you to really like see
Speaker 1: her as a teenager like beautiful soul, like you root
Speaker 1: for her. Um that you laugh a lot, yeah, you
Speaker 1: cry because you get connected. And what I love about
Speaker 1: it that's David Lindsay Beart. I mean, I guess he's
Speaker 1: gotta pulled her for a reason that like that's life.
Speaker 1: It's not just one thing caught the range on him.
Speaker 1: Like to like to go from like rabbit hole rabbit hole. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this I mean like also about like loss or grief
Speaker 1: or something mortality, but like to write a role that
Speaker 1: like Victoria was able to sew beautifully render like she
Speaker 1: never characterizes like the youth. She never like makes being
Speaker 1: a teenager seem like Colin or you know at all.
Speaker 1: Just like not to describe a Broadway show in this
Speaker 1: way because it feels so minimizing. But it's like it
Speaker 1: is like a vibe. It is like, Wow, there's something
Speaker 1: so tender about this in every aspect that I thought
Speaker 1: was really really lovely. I could see it as a film.
Speaker 1: I mean when I was watching and I was like,
Speaker 1: I can adapted for the screen. Yeah, is it is?
Speaker 1: It really goes? Sorry, man, is it really going on
Speaker 1: the entire time? I haven't been home, So I just
Speaker 1: got an email that was like, it will be till
Speaker 1: four pm throughout the day and the power will also
Speaker 1: be off during this time. So that's just kind of
Speaker 1: like what what I'm experiencing right now when I'm sort
Speaker 1: of living right now. Can we make an announcement? I
Speaker 1: think I think Matt is on his last dregs with
Speaker 1: l A. I'm out of here. I think he's I
Speaker 1: think he's out of there. I'm kind of out of
Speaker 1: here because I have a new boy and Lenny. He
Speaker 1: lives in New York. I miss all my friends in
Speaker 1: New York. And I don't think I'll have an apartment
Speaker 1: in New York that sort of does this, So you
Speaker 1: might you might, you know, I mean like Bowen doesn't
Speaker 1: live in the dream Escape either, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: Are you even thinking by coastal? Are you thinking I'm
Speaker 1: thinking by coastal? But and also I'll say this, like
Speaker 1: I love seeing shows, I like going to things like
Speaker 1: in New York you do that, Like that's one of
Speaker 1: the things I've really loved about going to New York
Speaker 1: is like being able to see everything incredible that's happening there.
Speaker 1: The culture, if you will. The culture exists in New
Speaker 1: York and it does not exist in l A. And
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking it. I'm just sitting here sort of
Speaker 1: all the fire alarm blares in the background, thinking about
Speaker 1: how you know, um oh, and it left, okay, so
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen, and like, so let me jump in
Speaker 1: now just to say it's gone, and uh, we're feeling good.
Speaker 1: Have you been How long have you been in New York, Bunny?
Speaker 1: You must have been pumping the streets many years? Oh god, um,
Speaker 1: I have been here fourteen Okay, that's more than ten,
Speaker 1: which makes you an official New Yorker. Congrats think you
Speaker 1: with fifteen? God has been fifteen? Yeah, fifteen. Were on
Speaker 1: similar timelines. I think we Matt and I moved here,
Speaker 1: which is right around the time that you sort of
Speaker 1: have realized what the culture is that made you say
Speaker 1: culture was for you? Wouldn't you say about I would
Speaker 1: say this, I would say so yes. So I guess
Speaker 1: this is time for us to ask Bonnie the question
Speaker 1: we ask all of our guests, which is Bonnie Milligan,
Speaker 1: what is the culture that made you say culture is
Speaker 1: for me? So I have like a split answer on this.
Speaker 1: I think in general what I realized I love you split, right,
Speaker 1: we love a split. I grow up, you know, as
Speaker 1: like a kid of the nineties and something that like
Speaker 1: immediately it was like this is for me. Where the
Speaker 1: divas of the nineties like yes, Mariah Whitney, Selene Reba.
Speaker 1: Why did I know every word to fancy when I
Speaker 1: was like eight years old because it's called taste, thank you?
Speaker 1: And you had one France Fancy. You don't don't let
Speaker 1: her down, don't. I would love I have and I
Speaker 1: will right now. No, but I can I love, Love,
Speaker 1: Love Selene. I loved your your rant about her not
Speaker 1: being on Rolling Stone, because truly, as a singer, was
Speaker 1: that not the most insane thing you've ever heard? I
Speaker 1: actually I can't because I'll get upset. So that was
Speaker 1: absolutely something. I was like that culture is for me,
Speaker 1: diva dum, big voices and like living your life. And
Speaker 1: I was so little, and I was like, got it
Speaker 1: kind of connected to that? So I grew up in
Speaker 1: a double way trailer in the Midwest, daughter of a preacher, poor, etcetera.
Speaker 1: And it's not like it wasn't like I forget which
Speaker 1: one is secular and non secular. I don't remember which
Speaker 1: one means, what secular means, non religious, religious. I wasn't
Speaker 1: like not restricted, clearly. I just named all those diva's um,
Speaker 1: but you weren't like watching racy things anyway. My best
Speaker 1: round in fourth grade, fourth grade, her favorite movie was
Speaker 1: Rocky Horror. When I went off at your house, her
Speaker 1: mom had like an album of like an actual record. UM,
Speaker 1: we would listen to it. We would watch the movie
Speaker 1: and on my mind was like whoa. So that was like,
Speaker 1: this is also for me. It's like a giant, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we played it on the playground where like,
Speaker 1: let's play Rocky Horror. Like I knew every word. I
Speaker 1: lived my life. Um, that's so weird and it's amazing.
Speaker 1: And I always wanted to be Magenta because seems seemed
Speaker 1: the most fun. And I would usually get stuck playing
Speaker 1: like the Janet. I'd be like, I don't want Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's a character actress's heart. Okay. And so
Speaker 1: I remember I was sitting at home, it was like
Speaker 1: some Saturday, and I had the remote. I was slipping
Speaker 1: through my dad the Preacher, you know, sitting behind me,
Speaker 1: and it was like on VH one, and so I
Speaker 1: like paused because it was like, oh my god, my
Speaker 1: favorite movie, the thing I played every day. My dad's
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, keep going. You're not allowed to
Speaker 1: watch that. It was like absolutely, yes, okay, that looks crazy.
Speaker 1: Did he understand what Rocky Horror was? Yes, he's seen it,
Speaker 1: and he was like no, like there's a person to
Speaker 1: touch me. I want to be dirty, definitely saying that
Speaker 1: on the playground. What but like we didn't know, but
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I was like, no,
Speaker 1: we're not watching that. I was like okay, wow, but
Speaker 1: see like, what harm is it really doing if we
Speaker 1: as children don't know what it means? Like, that's my
Speaker 1: there's no harm exactly, I mean no harm. There's a
Speaker 1: fine line. I bet, like we shouldn't be like you
Speaker 1: don't want to hear a kid singing about like something
Speaker 1: to elicit, but then you're like, I didn't get it.
Speaker 1: I want to hear a kid singing things, sing about
Speaker 1: something elsten I want to I wanted I want to
Speaker 1: see little Bonnie touched me, and I want to go
Speaker 1: over to the chaperone, the reso chaperone, and be like,
Speaker 1: you're not doing your job. Okay, those girls over there.
Speaker 1: You see that little group of girls and then saying
Speaker 1: touch touched me, you're saying a break. They you to
Speaker 1: time out. You're fired out, Recess chaperone. Remember those icons,
Speaker 1: Recess Chaperon's lunch monitors, the unch culture. They were the
Speaker 1: dreamers of dreams. They were the ones leading the culture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they were like volunteers from the community. You know,
Speaker 1: they weren't paid. Well, we're just like nice older ladies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my god, I bet we would be great, the three
Speaker 1: of us. I think so. In the performance at Recess. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh god, yeah, I would be. We would be like
Speaker 1: choreographing and giving scripts to children. Yes, this is let
Speaker 1: us do. That is not fun. I have an idea.
Speaker 1: What are you let me give you culture because you
Speaker 1: don't have any. I'm six, grow up, grow up? I
Speaker 1: love it. Did you feel like the diva's inspired you?
Speaker 1: This sounds like such a stupid Chilow question, but let
Speaker 1: me know if this makes sounds. Did you feel like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna belt because the divas are belting, and therefore
Speaker 1: I will start my own belting journey as a bell dress?
Speaker 1: So okay. What's interesting is I'm not really like a
Speaker 1: trained singer like I always sang. I'm like an instinctual singer.
Speaker 1: So I sang my whole life. My family was musical.
Speaker 1: I was always singing in church into like school choirs
Speaker 1: and stuff, so, you know, like our choir teacher would
Speaker 1: give us kind of like voice lessons to talk about
Speaker 1: certain things. Um, and then I took like a voice
Speaker 1: lesson one semester in college from like a t A.
Speaker 1: You know, I did that too, and I loved it.
Speaker 1: But I went to school for acting. I didn't go
Speaker 1: to school for musical theater. So I was like Okay,
Speaker 1: I did that, but I had the most funding gospel
Speaker 1: choir at college, and he did it like traditionally are leader.
Speaker 1: Like he would sing you got just a sheet of words,
Speaker 1: and he sang everybody's part and it's just like trains
Speaker 1: your ears so well. So he would sing the soprano
Speaker 1: line down to the baseline. He was incredible. Wow. And
Speaker 1: so that was sort of like my music education in
Speaker 1: so many ways. When I sang along to my faves everyone,
Speaker 1: I just listed Mariah, Selene Whitney, the girls. Yeah, the girls.
Speaker 1: I would mimic them. So I would like use my book.
Speaker 1: I remember my older husband like she sings just like Selene,
Speaker 1: come on, sing a song, and I've like I was obsessed.
Speaker 1: So I would sing all those songs like that. But
Speaker 1: if you gave me a sheet of music, I was
Speaker 1: like MIXI pretty place because I was like, oh, that's
Speaker 1: how you're supposed to sing other So like the pop songs,
Speaker 1: I would sing like that, but like if you gave
Speaker 1: me anything else, I wasn't like out there belting until
Speaker 1: I got to like college, and I love musical theater,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I feel like I could belt to
Speaker 1: Like I love musical theater so much, and I feel
Speaker 1: like I wrote one point, I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I have a voice for musical theater because
Speaker 1: I would sing the other way. And so during college
Speaker 1: I was taking a Christian link later speaking voice class
Speaker 1: and learning about my resonators. Hold on that sounds like singing,
Speaker 1: like just like the warm up of like hey hey.
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, I can keep going
Speaker 1: higher and not singing, and that is not something everyone
Speaker 1: can do. And then all of a sudden, I became
Speaker 1: like the bell dress. But that's also why, like as
Speaker 1: you both heard in the show, like I don't just
Speaker 1: belt everything just like the comedy like you. I like
Speaker 1: to use all parts of my voice. I just started
Speaker 1: doing a lot of concerts in two thousand fourteen and
Speaker 1: somebody like branded me belting Body, and I was like, okay, great,
Speaker 1: what'll gobout that? It is pretty indelible. And then like
Speaker 1: I see belting bonds on social media and I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's body, you know. Yeah, I annoyted that was your
Speaker 1: journey with the vocal. Yeah, yeah, that was the journey
Speaker 1: of the vocals. And correct me if I'm wrong. This
Speaker 1: is you currently possessed the highest belted note on Broadway.
Speaker 1: I have been told that. I haven't told that Janina
Speaker 1: story told that to our COVID guy, who was like
Speaker 1: gagging for it, and he was like, what is that
Speaker 1: likes right? She said, yes, right, because I love a
Speaker 1: gay COVID guy. That's like, I'm gagging. You know what,
Speaker 1: Let's shout out to Nolan. He's also a huge fan
Speaker 1: of Less culture. What he was for Row at the
Speaker 1: Cultural awards him Yes, I don't know. I mean I
Speaker 1: didn't came to meet you after because he was like,
Speaker 1: I love them so much. Um. And also he was like,
Speaker 1: if Bowen stays, because I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, I was texting everybody because everybody's very excited
Speaker 1: you were there, and I was like, friends, I said, guys,
Speaker 1: I don't know. So Nolan was on the thread and
Speaker 1: he was like, if Bowen does stay, text me, I'm
Speaker 1: running over. I mean, I will send a beautiful care
Speaker 1: package to everybody. I I just I truly felt so bad.
Speaker 1: I was, oh my wait. Not that I like to
Speaker 1: share like these kinds of stories, but I did have
Speaker 1: a very bizarre interaction yesterday. I was buying a drink
Speaker 1: in the lobby and then a woman comes up to
Speaker 1: me and goes, just just like, I'm at the bar
Speaker 1: and a woman comes up to me and puts her
Speaker 1: arm around me and then starts to like pat me
Speaker 1: on the back and she goes, I'm gonna do this
Speaker 1: in the chilliest way I can. And then she stops
Speaker 1: and just stares at me and then keeps touching me
Speaker 1: on the back. And I was like, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: and like they were like literally five seconds went by
Speaker 1: of just me being like, oh, wait, this is what
Speaker 1: would you like? What would you like? And then and
Speaker 1: then I was like, oh, d do you want a hug?
Speaker 1: And she just didn't say anything, and I just tugged
Speaker 1: her and then she left. Anyway, we're gonna cut this out.
Speaker 1: But I was just like, it was truly, they can't
Speaker 1: just come up and caress That's okay, I mean it was.
Speaker 1: I was just like, and she said, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: this in the chilliest way I can. Oh, ma'am that
Speaker 1: that is the opposite and the opposite. And there literally
Speaker 1: cozy on me. It was cozy on me. Um wait, okay,
Speaker 1: it's Monday. We have you on your on your day off,
Speaker 1: do you have a Monday ritual. What's on the docket. Well,
Speaker 1: now we have SAG screeners, so that it's going to
Speaker 1: be on the docket. Maybe some movies, um, but typically
Speaker 1: it's like sleep in and then I have a sweatshirt on, bios,
Speaker 1: pajama hands on and she can't see, and I keep
Speaker 1: that vibe. I don't go out. I like rest. Oh
Speaker 1: that was, oh my god. I don't go out. I
Speaker 1: just rest. And then what you don't know, readers, because
Speaker 1: the podcast are not visual medium, is her camera absolutely
Speaker 1: flew off the table. She used to resonator for that.
Speaker 1: She used a resonator. Yeah it's healthy, um so, but
Speaker 1: it's no singing on Mondays. No, not really unless I
Speaker 1: might get like a cameo request only podcasts that are
Speaker 1: also And they say talking is sometimes even more stressful
Speaker 1: on the boys. I know, but you gotta see I'm
Speaker 1: placing it in a like bow and said a nice
Speaker 1: warm bath. We just we gotta give a gentle. You
Speaker 1: really are Oh wait, can you guys help me on this?
Speaker 1: I was whispering for a while to on Friday, whispers bad.
Speaker 1: I like this feels bad. I think that it's bad.
Speaker 1: It is something good, like if you put your thumb
Speaker 1: or something in your mouth and close it around and
Speaker 1: just blow. It kind of opens up this up a
Speaker 1: bit like, oh my god, rocking my world and you're
Speaker 1: not making sound when I have too that you take
Speaker 1: a straw and put it in a cup of water
Speaker 1: and just blow, blow, blow bubbles. Yeah, this is Vicky.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed. She has like Kimmy has,
Speaker 1: like a little cup. It looks like a takeout cup
Speaker 1: of a straw. Sometimes she's taking water and sometimes she's
Speaker 1: just blowing and like, yes, but wow, that's a stage half.
Speaker 1: Very very clever, very nice. She's very smart. That one's
Speaker 1: very smart. What's working with her? Like talk about the
Speaker 1: legend Victoria Carr, I mean a dream come true. There
Speaker 1: are times that I will go down and just watch
Speaker 1: scenes I'm not in, you know, like I don't get
Speaker 1: tired of it. I'm excited for the cast album fully
Speaker 1: to drop. I listened to it eight times a week,
Speaker 1: and yet I want the album to like hear more.
Speaker 1: That's special. She is never the same, so every time
Speaker 1: she's so alive as a performer that who knows, she
Speaker 1: might be more playful one day, or she might be
Speaker 1: so it is so fresh, and that's how I like
Speaker 1: to be, is just like what's in the moment. I
Speaker 1: don't want to like set something that is identical because
Speaker 1: that feels stale and not alive, and so I like
Speaker 1: to be alive and clearly some line readings that you know,
Speaker 1: get a bigger laugh, you might give it that way,
Speaker 1: she can more consistently and general as a whole, Like
Speaker 1: her performance is just so lived and I don't it's magic.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Like she's just a different being from
Speaker 1: a different world. And she's the most generous actor to
Speaker 1: share a stage with, like the way she holds for
Speaker 1: your laugh, and she loves playing a street She's like,
Speaker 1: I love playing the straight man. It's my faith. She's
Speaker 1: just so generous with everything. She's like, well it'll give
Speaker 1: you a bigger laugh if I just like with the
Speaker 1: Pine co Owner with you know, we find different rhythms
Speaker 1: and then we've also just become like really close friends
Speaker 1: kind of hold each other up. During this it's very difficult.
Speaker 1: She barely leaves the stage, you know, present her sixties,
Speaker 1: and it's like I don't know how she does that physical,
Speaker 1: vocal and emotional journey, like to be in that because sometimes,
Speaker 1: like I've gone through stuff where I'm like, wow, I'm
Speaker 1: feeling a little depressed. I think I'm taking Deborah home
Speaker 1: with me, because while she's funny, the way I operate
Speaker 1: my the acting choices is like I'm alone in the
Speaker 1: world and nobody has my back. And so, you know,
Speaker 1: I come into the library and I see I find Kimmy.
Speaker 1: I wait. I wait out in the library because something
Speaker 1: big happened, which is a reveal. I don't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, spoiler alert anybody, but something happened. The family
Speaker 1: was in one town. I was a part of it,
Speaker 1: and I fled to the woods because it was it
Speaker 1: was a big thing. And when I came back, they'd
Speaker 1: moved and nobody left me a note like an abandoned animal.
Speaker 1: Like that's rough. And so I get out of my aunt.
Speaker 1: I do never say mom and dad, so God knows
Speaker 1: where they are. Ali and I have decided she plays Ali,
Speaker 1: Mozy plays my sister, that we have different dads, um
Speaker 1: that I don't say parents. I don't see anyone, I say.
Speaker 1: I called aunt Helen, and she wouldn't let me stay
Speaker 1: with her, but she told me where you moved to?
Speaker 1: But I didn't have an address. So I have been
Speaker 1: being out in the school library right right right, waiting
Speaker 1: to pretending iconic choice to have her inhabit the school
Speaker 1: library library, not like the library, public library, town, the
Speaker 1: school library. It's so funny to me, it's so I mean,
Speaker 1: it's so debb but like that's rough, lots of little
Speaker 1: inventive choices like that. The show is very specific, very
Speaker 1: it's really fun to play all that. But sometimes that's
Speaker 1: like and so I can also it's every day, it's
Speaker 1: every single day of your life. Yeah, And so to
Speaker 1: watch Vicky literally be in the body of someone who's
Speaker 1: like young, who like there's this scene in the library
Speaker 1: where she's hanging out with the kids and they have
Speaker 1: a song about well, real life hasn't started yet, Like
Speaker 1: it's later, it's when we get out of Jersey, when
Speaker 1: we go to school, when we you know, become adults,
Speaker 1: Like right now doesn't matter, and that's her entire life
Speaker 1: is right now. So she will never get to go
Speaker 1: to college, she will never get to go do these
Speaker 1: things that these kids say are the only things that matter.
Speaker 1: And you're like, and to watch her face like kind
Speaker 1: of take that information, like and she does that eight
Speaker 1: times a week, like I don't. So that's why I
Speaker 1: say she's like this magical unicorn when I struggle with
Speaker 1: my own journey. I can't even imagine how she does that.
Speaker 1: It's times a week. It's really like watching it. It
Speaker 1: is such a joyous experience in the music is beautiful
Speaker 1: and the cast is great. But I remember at the
Speaker 1: end of Act one, I was already like sobbing. I
Speaker 1: turned to Patrick and I was like, I'm already there
Speaker 1: because this is this is not going to uh healthy
Speaker 1: place for her, the character, you know what I mean like,
Speaker 1: and he was like, he was like, girl, just wait
Speaker 1: and then actually really delivers. But I just can't say
Speaker 1: enough about the still leaves on an uplifting but you
Speaker 1: don't leave being like I'm devastated. I can't get through,
Speaker 1: and you're like, you can't get more uplifting. I went
Speaker 1: through every Yes, You're like I went through every emotion possible,
Speaker 1: and like the of it all very cathartic. And then
Speaker 1: you leave and you're like, oh, but I do feel
Speaker 1: like I want to seize the day come on for
Speaker 1: Kimberly and Kimbo is. She probably went to Disney World
Speaker 1: at the end, and then she realized she didn't book
Speaker 1: fast passes in advance or any dinner reservations, so she
Speaker 1: probably was reading onlines all day. I will tell you, like,
Speaker 1: if Kimberly and Kimbo shut up to the Disney World
Speaker 1: that I was just that I would feel released. I
Speaker 1: hope she told someone about her rapid aging disease and
Speaker 1: maybe they could get her and get her on some rides,
Speaker 1: because that would be really frustrating her up front. Let her,
Speaker 1: let her be in the front, let her be in
Speaker 1: the first car. Spoiler alert. You do see Kimberly at
Speaker 1: Disney World at the end in some fashion, and it
Speaker 1: is quite beautiful, and I go, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, Like Victoria Clark is like
Speaker 1: acting in front of a green screen, and I'm like
Speaker 1: fully convinced that like this little girl is there like
Speaker 1: having the time of her life. I think she had
Speaker 1: a great time. I think Kimberly had a blast. She
Speaker 1: absolutely had a blast. And again we only say it's
Speaker 1: the meat, like the average life expectancy. We don't know
Speaker 1: that she's to die this year. She'd lived to twenty now,
Speaker 1: not past that probably, um, but like we don't know,
Speaker 1: so like, it's not, it's not it is a fictional disease.
Speaker 1: Because the movie Jack with Robin Williams, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: people bring up to you each and every day, they
Speaker 1: actually don't. And I'm surprised because immediately was like, oh,
Speaker 1: like yeah, right, iconic film, Diane Lane, French Russia. Come on, teacher,
Speaker 1: it is so good. I'm sure they don't want you
Speaker 1: referencing the movie and press and stuff like this. Maybe yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe not. Who cares come for me? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not the same at all, but it reminds me of
Speaker 1: Jackly I love. So get into it. Get into it.
Speaker 1: What have you seen? Speaking of film, what have you seen?
Speaker 1: Say you're about to dive into these side screeners, but
Speaker 1: the Oscar nomination has come out this week. We are
Speaker 1: iconically Record on Monday. They come out tomorrow. What are
Speaker 1: your big predictions, what are your big bold wants and
Speaker 1: needs desires for the season. Well, I'm very behind on
Speaker 1: my views. Um. I literally was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: because you know, I've been in the world of putting
Speaker 1: up brand new musical that helps the theaters and stay healthy.
Speaker 1: Like I haven't gone out much. The one time I
Speaker 1: went to a theater is probably not going to be
Speaker 1: up for Oscars, and that's sad for me because it
Speaker 1: should win everything. Megan. Yes, I love Megan so much.
Speaker 1: What's so funny is I was told you have to
Speaker 1: see it in a theater with people, and I was like, okay, great.
Speaker 1: So I went with my friends, um, who are also performers,
Speaker 1: Matt Doyle and Max Clayton. Wow that was a real
Speaker 1: good crew. Yeah. So we got like tickets for after
Speaker 1: all of our Thursday night shows and we went to
Speaker 1: a ten pm showing and we get in. There's like
Speaker 1: three people the back of the year and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm feeling very nicole kidman, like we come to the theater,
Speaker 1: like buy myself in the theater and now look to me.
Speaker 1: And he was like, I'm so glad we're seeing this
Speaker 1: with everyone I know. But I still was like, scream gackling.
Speaker 1: I loved this so much. It's I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: it is campy, but you get a sense that there's
Speaker 1: a lot of room to grow, you know what. Megan
Speaker 1: two point like, I know that's the SNL sketch. If
Speaker 1: they will be called Megan two point or something, or
Speaker 1: Megan's and like there is so much places to go
Speaker 1: with he stole the files. We know how to make
Speaker 1: the files. What I had said the bone was don't
Speaker 1: you think we had seen the demonstration of Megan, Like
Speaker 1: they tease this called Megan demonstration and then we don't
Speaker 1: really see I do wish do you wish me to?
Speaker 1: And I wish there was more of that was an
Speaker 1: opportunity for like a massacre a lot of people. And
Speaker 1: when with TikTok dances, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: I wanted more of that for sure because Ronnie being
Speaker 1: like bringing more people, we need more people, more people,
Speaker 1: more people. You're like, oh wow, a bunch of people.
Speaker 1: They're going to kill so many people. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: I Oh, I rented to Leslie. Why everyone was talking?
Speaker 1: I was like, um, it was that Andrea what is
Speaker 1: her last name? That's what Rice Borough? Thank you? Is incredible.
Speaker 1: So my sleeper hope is that she gets like an
Speaker 1: Oscar No. But you know, lots of a List stars
Speaker 1: are coming out campaigning for her and Gwyneth Paltrow. But
Speaker 1: that's what all the trades are talking about right now,
Speaker 1: is that there's been this last minute ground swell of
Speaker 1: a list support for this, like real character actress who
Speaker 1: apparently gives a performance to the year to Leslie Andrea Riseborow,
Speaker 1: so it might happen. We'll know by the time. This
Speaker 1: episode absolutely incredible. And also I just around Christmas watched Matilda,
Speaker 1: which was, Oh my gosh, I love everything about it.
Speaker 1: It was so beautiful, it was so emotional. Shanna Lynch,
Speaker 1: I wow, wow, how do you do that? And woman
Speaker 1: King congrats on life. Wow. Andrew Riceboro plays the mom
Speaker 1: in Matilda, and I was like, you're giving me British
Speaker 1: Judy Greer and you're giving me to Leslie, Like, I what,
Speaker 1: who are you? Like, She's unbelievable and she Leslie. So
Speaker 1: that's my one hope that it will. I love seeing that.
Speaker 1: The only reason I know about it was because all
Speaker 1: these celebs coming up through on like my timeline. I
Speaker 1: just kept seeing like Sarah Paulson is going so hard
Speaker 1: for her, going so hard, and I love that that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, okay, let me see this performance. And
Speaker 1: she's incredible, incredible. Get this. So we're in my apartment
Speaker 1: right now where the fire arm was going off, and
Speaker 1: I don't think this is true anymore because I don't
Speaker 1: think that noted character actress Andrea Riseborrow would deal with this.
Speaker 1: One day, I was in my mail room and there
Speaker 1: was a letter to Andrew rise Borrow, and I was like,
Speaker 1: does she live here? And this is like a few
Speaker 1: years ago when like okay, it stopped. Maybe maybe that's
Speaker 1: the spirit of Andrea. And no one knows where I lived,
Speaker 1: but so I can say this, and I don't think
Speaker 1: she lives her anymore, but she did live there at
Speaker 1: one point. She might have because there was I mean,
Speaker 1: who has that name? But there was like a couple
Speaker 1: of pieces of mail addressed to her in my mail room.
Speaker 1: When I was I was like, oh my god, because
Speaker 1: I've known how good she was for like she's she's
Speaker 1: so like she's somebody who I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that woman again, Like you know, she pops up in
Speaker 1: all these places, and she's always really solid. But like
Speaker 1: to give me it's like her leshan A Lynch, Like
Speaker 1: they're giving me two incredible, completely different performances. And they're
Speaker 1: both involved in Matilda interesting um and then also I
Speaker 1: love Woman King. I loved everybody in it. I thought
Speaker 1: it was incredible. I just watched Waconda Forever. What do
Speaker 1: you think about Angela winning the prizes for that? Like
Speaker 1: her performances major, her performances major, like one of her
Speaker 1: speeches when she's like reading the room, like you all
Speaker 1: need to calm down. I am the queen here. I
Speaker 1: have lost some people like chills, the power, the restraint,
Speaker 1: the emotion. You know, Judy Dench won an Oscar for
Speaker 1: like an eight minute performance, like I say, give her
Speaker 1: all the words, give her a Country Music Award. I
Speaker 1: don't even care give him all that one scene. Yeah,

Speaker 1: few months ago with Pamela Anderson herself. So did I
Speaker 1: I wanted to experience that, yes, perfect like cookie sweet,
Speaker 1: and then when she dropped into these like dramatic, like
Speaker 1: grounded moments. I was like, shook. I did see Opening Nights,
Speaker 1: so I think I saw her at like a ten.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm wondering what it was like when she
Speaker 1: finally did like drop in and find it not that
Speaker 1: she dropped in, yeah, and she was like and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, just the realist of the real
Speaker 1: when you wanted it. And I was like, you're giving

Speaker 1: to give Pam to Bowen and I give Jenny McCarthy
Speaker 1: to Matt. I'll take it, Okay, Okay, yeah, I'll take
Speaker 1: it because I love the view. I love it. Oh.
Speaker 1: By the way, we never mentioned on the pod we
Speaker 1: did our culture catch up rest in Peace, Barbara waltersa piece.
Speaker 1: Kicky Palmer did say rest in peace, Barbara Walters. She did,
Speaker 1: so it was covered. I was covering no problem. But
Speaker 1: we look ahead to the oscar nominations and UM with
Speaker 1: that spirit in my and it actually is related to
Speaker 1: my I don't think so, honey. So should we transition?
Speaker 1: We'll transition too, I don't think so, honey. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is our one minute segment where we go off about
Speaker 1: something in culture. Matt has something oscar Ms related. Perhaps
Speaker 1: the thing has stopped, so it's it should it should happen?
Speaker 1: This is Mett Rogers. I don't think so many starts new.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. Snubs We don't know who
Speaker 1: had happened to but it is a fate worse than death.
Speaker 1: And I am with you today. We we understand that
Speaker 1: so many hundreds of people have been snubbed. This week
Speaker 1: we are iconically recording this Pop Culture UM podcast, and
Speaker 1: I am sounding the alarm and saying reach out to
Speaker 1: those that you know that we're snubbed and pat them
Speaker 1: on the back like a creepy woman at Kimberly and
Speaker 1: Kimball going up to and say this is the chillis
Speaker 1: wag can do this my girls who are gonna be snubbed.
Speaker 1: I hope it's not my faves, but it has to
Speaker 1: hurt to work so hard for the domination to be
Speaker 1: on the shows, to grind the grind, and then to
Speaker 1: see you are snubbed. As someone who's been snubbed, I
Speaker 1: have to say that I'm really thinking of you and
Speaker 1: all my girls nominated. I'm so happy for you. I'm
Speaker 1: proud of you. But just please text the girls who
Speaker 1: were snubbed and say, hey, should have been you instead
Speaker 1: of me. Be kind. Be kind to those snubbed. That's
Speaker 1: my big thing now going forward. Be kind. That's if
Speaker 1: you're someone you know was snubbed, Be kind to yourself,
Speaker 1: be kind to others. You know. I hate that you
Speaker 1: called back the woman at kim really a Kimbo because
Speaker 1: I really wanted to cut I really want to cut it.
Speaker 1: Why would we cut it? Because I hate that I'm
Speaker 1: even sharing the story to begin with, A woman came
Speaker 1: up to you and carressed your back into this is
Speaker 1: the chillest way possible I can do this to me.
Speaker 1: That's that we have to sell the alarm. Do not
Speaker 1: touch bow and Yang in a chill caressing way. Just
Speaker 1: don't do that to anyone, even if it's like you
Speaker 1: think it's your fourth grade teacher. I wouldn't go up
Speaker 1: and slowly caress someone and say I'm trying to be chill. God,
Speaker 1: my kid loves your class. It's weird, So why would
Speaker 1: you do that to an actual celebrity? About not I
Speaker 1: slowly caressed my lover. Only talk to anyone as if
Speaker 1: your son's fourth grade teacher. Yes, that's a really good rule.
Speaker 1: Miss Munson, Miss mus Munson, show some respect, I show
Speaker 1: us Munson in fourth grade? You did kidding? She wasn't
Speaker 1: my teacher, But there wasn't Miss Munson in the fourth grade.
Speaker 1: God way, Bowen, I also did not have Miss Munson,
Speaker 1: but she was a fourth grade teacher in my thing,
Speaker 1: my sister and Miss mus this is weird. Did you
Speaker 1: have Miss Sunson where she was like it's me, Miss Munson.
Speaker 1: And if you're not treating everyone when that you meet
Speaker 1: like Miss Munson like yes, hello, I have respect that
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you from a distance and from a
Speaker 1: distance as if there was a desk between us, you know,
Speaker 1: so listen, I mean I'm just saying reach out, like
Speaker 1: be kind to those snubs. Don't caress them, but you know,
Speaker 1: and and this is I mean, like, well, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about it maybe next week, but like there's gonna be snubs.
Speaker 1: And that's just how Oscar Morning works. And that's part
Speaker 1: of the drama of it. Okay, you got Kate Blood
Speaker 1: chat out here saying we should stop putting performances against
Speaker 1: each other. And I'm like, Mama, I understand you in spirit.
Speaker 1: But a couple of my friends brought up like that's
Speaker 1: the how the whole conversation about good movies even happens
Speaker 1: is the oscars. Otherwise we wouldn't talk about, like, you know,
Speaker 1: good movies at all. Would just be like all the
Speaker 1: big box office stuff all year, Right, I guess you
Speaker 1: gotta have it. Yeah, food for thought? Uh Bowe and Yang?
Speaker 1: Are you ready with you? I don't think so, honey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had this ready to go. But I mean the
Speaker 1: fire alarm going off in your apartment is sort of
Speaker 1: sort of has something to do with us. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: this is I don't think so funny his time starts now,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. Songs with sirens in them.
Speaker 1: Some pop songs that have like police sirens in the
Speaker 1: um like at any moment. There are like I can't
Speaker 1: think of examples, but there is like rainy Alarm Spice.
Speaker 1: There's a Spice Girl song that has like sirens and him,
Speaker 1: and every time I listen to it, I have to
Speaker 1: turn off the music and go, is there a siren outside?
Speaker 1: Should I be worried? If? If your song is motivating
Speaker 1: me or any listener to press pause, then it's fail
Speaker 1: as a song. I'm not supposed to be taken out
Speaker 1: of the moment. I'm supposed to be with you for
Speaker 1: the full length of the piece. So you got we
Speaker 1: gotta figure this out. There's no reason unless the song
Speaker 1: is about the police state that we live under, I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear a siren in it, Okay, So
Speaker 1: I think that we should just do away with this.
Speaker 1: And I'm so sorry for for this on a metal level,
Speaker 1: working against this episode because there is a fire alarm
Speaker 1: going off throughout Matt's audio. Not right now though, and
Speaker 1: that's one minute, and I heard that one of the
Speaker 1: big next wave of pop girliedom is going to be
Speaker 1: all albums about the police state. So then they're they're
Speaker 1: all gonna have sirens, is what you're saying. I think
Speaker 1: we're going to be in the siren era, but no
Speaker 1: bow and I hear what you're saying more metaphorical. You know, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: post to arms called to fellow women. Yeah. Did you
Speaker 1: see Beyonce's performance in Dubai, Like like the all the
Speaker 1: clips and video from it, I have not seen all
Speaker 1: of them yet. I haven't seen all of them. All
Speaker 1: of them. I know they're I haven't seen all of them.
Speaker 1: I have not gotten to sit down with my pin
Speaker 1: and watch all of them. You got a lot to do.
Speaker 1: I also saw a tweet that somebody was like, I'm
Speaker 1: upset that. You know, Dubai has so many anti LGBT.
Speaker 1: That's the launch it there. Even if they gave her
Speaker 1: tons of money like they maybe not, well that is
Speaker 1: the thing, right, Like someone was like, what do you
Speaker 1: think the price tag was on that? And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: how much could it be? And then we're like, oh, there,
Speaker 1: it's possible that she made a hundred million dollars doing it. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: why would you she hasn't performed in four years. But
Speaker 1: it's me that she didn't do any Renaissance material off
Speaker 1: of it, like like a performance, because then it would
Speaker 1: have been crazy to do it in due she did
Speaker 1: like a kind of a weird set list, right. It
Speaker 1: was for a hotel opening, like it's she It was
Speaker 1: very emmercial, not a fully fledged Beyonce show. I think
Speaker 1: the check probably paid for the Renaissance Arena tour. Great
Speaker 1: and great? Are you ready to belt out? And I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey, Yeah, you always singing it? Yeah don't, Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I don't Mind's kind of related in some ways, um
Speaker 1: to the idea of snubs. I'm gonna it's sort of
Speaker 1: in there. And this is very not seasonal. We've just
Speaker 1: passed Christmas, but it's about that, Okay, no problem. Well
Speaker 1: Christmas is Christmas is a big culture. If I've got
Speaker 1: huge culture vibe, absolutely this is Bonnie Millikans. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. Her time starts now. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: We don't have a diva's Christmas Carol Availa on any
Speaker 1: stream sites to have it saved to my iTunes? Are
Speaker 1: you telling me that the only Christmas movies that are classics,
Speaker 1: were like It's a Wonderful Life, Elf and a Christmas
Speaker 1: story about a kid with a gun. I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: Because I had a Scrooge that featured Vanessa Williams has
Speaker 1: a part of a girl group. We had an original story. Second,
Speaker 1: you're gonna snub that. I don't think so, honey. They
Speaker 1: sang songs that were catchy. They gave us a new
Speaker 1: pop too. Yes, thank you quick. Absolutely, that's not something
Speaker 1: I can buy on iTunes. I don't think so. She's
Speaker 1: the best Scrooge as a side from Michael Caine and
Speaker 1: I'm up at Christmas Carol. But I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: Why can't I have this always preserved? You had Kathy
Speaker 1: Griffin is the Ghost of Christmas. You had vh ones
Speaker 1: behind the music as the Ghost of Christmas. That is innovative,
Speaker 1: That is culture. I don't think so, honey. Put it
Speaker 1: on iTunes and that's one minute unbelievable. I mean, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I came into my fifth grade teacher,
Speaker 1: Mrs Sprague, and I was a little f a g
Speaker 1: and I was like, did you watch a Diva's Christmas Carol?
Speaker 1: And she was like, no, Matthew, I didn't watch that.
Speaker 1: She was like, well it was. It featured Vanessa Williams
Speaker 1: has Ebany Scrooge, and she was like, and Chili from
Speaker 1: TLC Marley Jacobs her former so and then she was like,
Speaker 1: you have to go very dreamgirls, find a girl that
Speaker 1: you like put down because you wanted a better solo career,
Speaker 1: and you have to bring her back into the fauld.
Speaker 1: It's very like, bring back Effie and let her sing
Speaker 1: one more time. Okay, okay. Culture it is booming with.
Speaker 1: It was really culture. I mean like and also, did
Speaker 1: you ever watch a diva's christ did? But Bonnie I
Speaker 1: was just gonna say, Bonnie really unlocked this for me
Speaker 1: because that really this is the thing now. It's like
Speaker 1: if it's not available, then like the memory of it
Speaker 1: goes away for certain people like me. Yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: how good the hook was that I literally remember is
Speaker 1: it just a hard quake? Yes? Oh my god. And
Speaker 1: they also gave you know, Babs did their own version
Speaker 1: of that with sleigh Ride, but it was like a
Speaker 1: weird like let's say to slay them Sicklyn ring ting
Speaker 1: Tan lind too. You're like, why was that like they're
Speaker 1: like pop group made that famous at Christmas. I'm here
Speaker 1: for it. Remember this is how this is how obsessed
Speaker 1: with it I was and how gay I was as
Speaker 1: a child. There was a moment in the behind the
Speaker 1: scenes part which is like it's true, like the Ghost
Speaker 1: of Christmas Future is a behind the scenes yes via
Speaker 1: trom behind the music episode, and they're interviewing Brian McKnight.
Speaker 1: He makes a joke about Maria who by the way,
Speaker 1: it's a Ruler culture number Brian McKnight, like a dream
Speaker 1: come anyway, I could never stop. But he makes a
Speaker 1: joke like Mariah carry like you know, like one time
Speaker 1: Ebony's she luck Mariah out of her dressing room point
Speaker 1: saying had to be out there in her underwear. Luckily
Speaker 1: no one noticed, Like making a joke about how Mariah
Speaker 1: was always working. I would. I wish when we were
Speaker 1: done here, I could go watch a diva's Crystal you can.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna at least YouTube Church. But I bet that's
Speaker 1: even a flop of dead end. Dear Vanessa Williams, if
Speaker 1: you can hear us, get the people. She really was
Speaker 1: a good scrooge like she she was eat Did you
Speaker 1: ever encounter Vanessa Williams because I know she's one of
Speaker 1: the stage No, well, okay, that's a lie I have.
Speaker 1: We've never worked together. I'm obsessed with her. I think
Speaker 1: she's like the most beautiful person in the world. When
Speaker 1: we were putting head over heels together, I literally went
Speaker 1: to the producers. I was like, she should play my mom?
Speaker 1: Can she be the can she be the queen? And
Speaker 1: they reached out. And I love Rachel York, I love you.
Speaker 1: But like they did reach out and she was not available,
Speaker 1: and I was like, son of a But that's how
Speaker 1: much I love her. And recently a Broadway con, Hillary
Speaker 1: Secretary Secretary Madam Secretary came to the Broadway Con and
Speaker 1: did like a pan all with Leshawn's, Vanessa Williams, Julie White,
Speaker 1: and Donna Murphy. And I was also there to sing
Speaker 1: from Kimberly Kimbo to kick off Broadway Cotton like Hello,
Speaker 1: and I was right after and Shawn's is one of
Speaker 1: our producers, iconic Shans, And so she was talking to
Speaker 1: um Hillary like, well, you, this is one of our stars.
Speaker 1: You have to meet her. And she gave her like
Speaker 1: a candy necklace. We got like a photo together Vanessa
Speaker 1: was in the room and so we you know, I
Speaker 1: saw them, but I was like, again, I would fan
Speaker 1: girl too hard, I think, And there's just a lot
Speaker 1: of presents in that room between and I knew, like
Speaker 1: I knew Julie and I knew Donna, and so they
Speaker 1: were like the the the iconic women I knew were
Speaker 1: like yeah, and I was like, Okay, that feels cool,
Speaker 1: but I don't know that one. And I do love
Speaker 1: her Ebony Forever, Ebony Scrooge Forever. Teevi's Christmas Carol fully
Speaker 1: wiped away memory for me that you brought back, like God,
Speaker 1: you're certain and I and now I want to see
Speaker 1: it and they can't do it. I want to see that,
Speaker 1: Like who do I contact? Because it's been painting my
Speaker 1: side every Christmas. I'm like, well, I wish I could
Speaker 1: watch the best pro shot pro shot from pH one.
Speaker 1: God released the Snyder cut of Diva's Christmas Carol. I
Speaker 1: want to see four Hours Dark. I just I just
Speaker 1: went to the opening of Jefferson May's doing like the
Speaker 1: One Man Christmas Carol directed incredible, but one of the
Speaker 1: questions on the red carpet was like, what's your favorite
Speaker 1: Scrooge or something, and I was like, it's a movie
Speaker 1: called a Diva's Christmas Carol starring Vanessa. Absolutely great answer
Speaker 1: and if that interviewer knew anything worth a damn, they
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't cross side and turned to Sanda. But now
Speaker 1: they didn't. Well listen, when does the cast album come out?
Speaker 1: Do we have an announcement or a day Valentine's Day? Yeah,
Speaker 1: The Kimberly A Kimball Original Broadway cast album is out
