Speaker 3: Okay, Brandon Armstrong's most underrated Okay, That man is the
Speaker 3: funniest dude to ever exist.
Speaker 2: He is quick with the singers.

Speaker 3: in the category of underrated because I think that people
Speaker 3: get to see his brilliance in pockets, Like you don't
Speaker 3: to be in a room with him in a studio
Speaker 3: space and like experience the way that he takes in
Speaker 3: music and like he will he like goes to another
Speaker 3: astral plane and like he can see the music, he
Speaker 3: can see the choreography, and then he like brings it
Speaker 3: into the physical world and it's just such a beautiful process.
Speaker 2: And like I don't want to out his process too much.
Speaker 3: But he's actually masterful at what he does, and I
Speaker 3: think people don't even realize to the extent yet. And
Speaker 3: I just hope that he gets to showcase that more
