Speaker 1: above the driver above the garage, and the guy who
Speaker 1: played a fucking Indian dude in the social network he
Speaker 1: was supposed to play in any day. Are you really
Speaker 1: going to ruin this with me with your social and

Speaker 1: I blame Aaron Sorkin for that. Of course, of course
Speaker 1: it's not no shade on those things. Um. I have
Speaker 1: yet to see a handmaids Tale, a handmads Tale because
Speaker 1: two years ago I started reading the book and it
Speaker 1: terrified me. It's very scary and mostly not a fat
Speaker 1: worthy show. But I couldn't deny my body. You couldn't
Speaker 1: deny your body, you guys. This is our first episode

Speaker 1: Let's get in. Well, you have done a ton of ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: different ship too. Uh yeah, that's a it's a fun
Speaker 1: way to stay on my toes, right, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: talk about like being in the right destrum and also like,
Speaker 1: I bet you're the only writer like in that room
Speaker 1: who's like you gotten even close to Broadway, like actually
Speaker 1: performing on a Broadway stage in a musical and also
Speaker 1: writing for a small handful of of you guys. I
Speaker 1: feel like our head writer, uh, Colleen Worthman was in
Speaker 1: at least did something at the public off Broadway. Really Yeah,
Speaker 1: she ain't no slouch and game. But you got all
Speaker 1: the way up there to the fucking Winter Palace, the
Speaker 1: Winter Garden, that's quite all right. We went my family goes.
Speaker 1: We go every year to see a probably musical around
Speaker 1: Christmas time tradition, and I was like, we have to
Speaker 1: go see School of rock a because you were in it.
Speaker 1: But we weren't even really friends then, but I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I have a friend in it, and I was so
Speaker 1: gagged when you were there. And um, also because I
Speaker 1: genuinely wanted to see it. I love that movie on
Speaker 1: my favorite movies. Great movie, it's so good. And that show.
Speaker 1: She crowd pleaser, boys, crowd, please are a crowd, Please
Speaker 1: are big time. Everyone that comes on the ride is
Speaker 1: going to go see it. You know, nineteen hands go
Speaker 1: up in they're all see in School of Rockets. My god, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. It really is a hit. Yeah, it recently,
Speaker 1: just last week, I think earned back its initial I
Speaker 1: think because you posted about it. Yeah, it's amazing, so exciting.
Speaker 1: You know, who's the guy in that? Sierra Bargas Who
Speaker 1: she who she played the she was She is not
Speaker 1: in the show anymore. She was the original Rosalie Mullins,
Speaker 1: the principle by Jo But for the purposes of the musical,
Speaker 1: there's kind of a love interest, right, But Sierra is
Speaker 1: like a Broadway legend. She was the original Aerial and
Speaker 1: Little Mermaids Christine in both Phantom and Love Never Dies.
Speaker 1: And I would say thirty percent of my Instagram followers,
Speaker 1: oh my god, their profile picture is Sierra bas the
Speaker 1: name like Sierra boggas better Slay and that that's the
Speaker 1: thing that's the crossover appeal of Michael Hartney Broadway comedy.
Speaker 1: Come on, you know what? You know? Okay, just I
Speaker 1: have to bring this up because I saw this last night.
Speaker 1: You know what. It is not a great movie adaptation.
Speaker 1: I saw, you know what. I liked it, but people
Speaker 1: are and I instagrammed it. I instagram story to I
Speaker 1: saw Emily last night. But people were like, I hear
Speaker 1: it's trash, and I'm like, come on, you guys. I
Speaker 1: thought it was cute. It was not. It was not
Speaker 1: like it did not achieve its fullest potential. But I
Speaker 1: liked some of the songs. That's you know what, and
Speaker 1: that's and that's fine. It's it's closing. So it's closing
Speaker 1: this week. I like, so sad when things just go
Speaker 1: up and go down. Philippa sou like, come on, gah,
Speaker 1: she's gonna play a Disney princess. Someday she better. She's
Speaker 1: pretty great. She is so great. I actually didn't get
Speaker 1: to see her the Hamilton's and her understudy was But
Speaker 1: I mean, I imagine Philippa. You imagine Philippa. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: saw her and she was really such. She's so amazing.
Speaker 1: There you go. It's what a beautiful, like pristine voice,
Speaker 1: Burn heard, just letting you have come through? Burn. What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the Hamilton's mixtape. My thoughts are
Speaker 1: that so many of those tracks are more radio friendly
Speaker 1: on the cast recording. Furthermore, I am not into a
Speaker 1: solo pop song where you sing through lines that are
Speaker 1: meant for twelve different motherfucking characters. That doesn't make for
Speaker 1: god damn bit of sense. It's quiet uptown. He did
Speaker 1: something wrong there? Oh? Did you came from my No?
Speaker 1: But no. But the thing is, I get it. I'm
Speaker 1: actually fully with you. I mean, Kelly Carkson is fine,
Speaker 1: that's not her fault. Fine. What Michael hurt All I'm
Speaker 1: saying is it's the The logical fallacy of that song
Speaker 1: is the problem is that the other winners of American
Speaker 1: Idol aren't playing the other character exactly. Yeah, fantasition doesn't
Speaker 1: come in. Although I will say I want soul patrol
Speaker 1: being a general or some god. I think that the
Speaker 1: mixtape also does the reverse where it's like three different
Speaker 1: people singing the song. Then for one person with satisfied,
Speaker 1: it's like, why do you have Queen Latifa Cia and
Speaker 1: who else is? And then who's the third? Um? I
Speaker 1: don't someone else, but it's like, oh, Miguel, Miguel, Um.
Speaker 1: I hate to see his performance of that song too.
Speaker 1: It is so affective. It's just like, honestly respect the fact.
Speaker 1: I guess like she's not thinking about a word she's saying,
Speaker 1: and I think that's the thing. Is like lin Manuel
Speaker 1: like oversaw it and still let all the intention think
Speaker 1: it's the One thing I'd say is like at least
Speaker 1: they sound different covers of like I hate one to
Speaker 1: one covers. Yeah, do you remember I don't like either
Speaker 1: version of this song. But there's that song by Tom
Speaker 1: Cochrane Life is a Highway, then Rascal Rascal. It is indistinguishable.
Speaker 1: There's no reason original Life is a Highway other than
Speaker 1: a man who looks like Shrek is now singing Yeah. Also,
Speaker 1: it was like the theme song to the movie Cars,
Speaker 1: which I don't like, like, I just don't sign me
Speaker 1: up for like a literal one to one cover. So
Speaker 1: you're right, but you know there's something with that. I
Speaker 1: totally agree with you. And my other criticism about the
Speaker 1: Hamilton mixtape is they didn't go big enough with it.
Speaker 1: It's like, if you're gonna get some you're gonna do
Speaker 1: an R and B ballad cover of burn, fucking get
Speaker 1: Beyonce to do it. I don't like that Andre Day version.
Speaker 1: I feel that, to me is a Beyonce song. Okay,
Speaker 1: what did you think of uh, what's her name? Jill
Speaker 1: Scott doing? Uh? No? I like that one? You see?
Speaker 1: You just like blanket? Do not like not even not
Speaker 1: even some redeemable parts of the Hamilton's mixtape, honestly, And
Speaker 1: this is but my bias. I really like Kelly Clarkson's cover.
Speaker 1: It's it's quiet up top. But but I understand the
Speaker 1: criticism of it. Everything else I kind of just just like,
Speaker 1: I just didn't. I didn't think it needed to happen.
Speaker 1: I just prefer the cast recording on most counts, So
Speaker 1: why wouldn't I just listen to that? Speaking of cast recording,
Speaker 1: how is did you record for School of Rock? I
Speaker 1: did How is that? Like? What was that? Like, you're
Speaker 1: in the studio. It really was wild. So we're in
Speaker 1: the studio and like on the west West west side,
Speaker 1: and um, you know we're the adult ensembles, so uh
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, we don't got a ton to do. But
Speaker 1: you know, I have a couple of solo lines in
Speaker 1: a little song called Faculty Quadrille, thank you so much, um,
Speaker 1: and I have some spoken lines as the gay parents.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. Top of the album,
Speaker 1: there's a moment where Michael Hartney sits down in the
Speaker 1: show and he's an applause break. Yes, I've heard this
Speaker 1: is legendary, this is a talk about this is your moment, apocryphal.
Speaker 1: I have heard of this too. When I saw that,
Speaker 1: I just put one finger up. Yes, yes, the bit
Speaker 1: did it. Here's here's what else the bitch did. And
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I'm bringing this up. And this is like
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dredge. Um you I like,
Speaker 1: I first fell in love with Michael Hartney and this
Speaker 1: is when I didn't really know him and he had
Speaker 1: no idea who I was. But it was when everybody
Speaker 1: all the UCB gates. We'll just gaze in general making
Speaker 1: it it gets better videos and Hartney had a great
Speaker 1: one and it's still up. It's so good. Of course
Speaker 1: it's up. I'm not gonna I got the I got
Speaker 1: the it gets a Better moment, got ten followers on
Speaker 1: Twitter and took it then down. It truly is. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The only purpose for that is like truly, kids have
Speaker 1: reached out to me. They're still like I I'm in
Speaker 1: contact with who's now like in college. And what a
Speaker 1: great like tangible sort of you know impact you had that.
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think your opening line of
Speaker 1: that was like, okay, kids like put down, like like
Speaker 1: hit pause on Glee or or whatever it was. It
Speaker 1: was very good. It was very two. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: very you're so yeah Gaga topical references Glee, I mean
Speaker 1: kind of topical and that. Yeah. And speaking of your time,
Speaker 1: I should ask the question, Yes, this is the and
Speaker 1: and Michael told me yesterday that he's gotten many answers
Speaker 1: to this question. Answer them as many and you can
Speaker 1: answer as many ways as I want. Okay, So this
Speaker 1: is the question, Michael Hartney, what made you say culture
Speaker 1: was for you a young Michael, it was it was
Speaker 1: the reason why you decided to take a step in
Speaker 1: a cultural direction. You said, you know what, I've heard
Speaker 1: of this culture and I think I might explore it
Speaker 1: like cultures for me. Yeah, you get it right. Um
Speaker 1: So I was one of those, um like terrible two
Speaker 1: kids are at age two, I was like, Mom, hold
Speaker 1: me by me a toy entertained me? Young, what's this?
Speaker 1: What's that? Oldest? Just very curious about the world around me.
Speaker 1: But uh so my mom and dad would try to
Speaker 1: think of ways to kind of get me to calm
Speaker 1: down and shut the hell up for a moment. And
Speaker 1: I guess one night, um, on ABC they were airing
Speaker 1: Superman the movie. I was two years old. They plumped me,
Speaker 1: plumped me, they plumped plump right there, I'm owning it
Speaker 1: in front of the TV. And uh you know miss
Speaker 1: Superman the movie she in short, she long with with
Speaker 1: commercial breaks. That's just like three hours? Is this with
Speaker 1: miss Christopher Reeves singular? It's Christopher Reeves, sorry, Mr George
Speaker 1: Slade Superman in the fifties and the television show Ms
Speaker 1: Christopher anyway, um so I shut the hell up for
Speaker 1: three hours and I was like, I need all of
Speaker 1: this all the time and the like. So my mom
Speaker 1: started buying me Superman comic books. I taught myself to
Speaker 1: read on Superman comic books. Wo uh. And it's the
Speaker 1: least gay thing about me. But I I'm a huge
Speaker 1: fan of Superman to this very day. And I knew that,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know it. It just that was like
Speaker 1: the that was like the joint, the origin, you know,
Speaker 1: story of it, and that's that's great. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: So that what is this terrible twoos thing? It just
Speaker 1: when you're a year old, you're bad. That's it's just
Speaker 1: like an acting out thing. You're like corrigible. You you
Speaker 1: just need constant stimulations. So victory for the parents there
Speaker 1: to find Superman. Yeah, I mean I really think they Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were very thankful. It wasn't a choice. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like your mother was like, oh, Superman's on, this will
Speaker 1: be what shuts him up. It was just like, let's try.
Speaker 1: So are you fans of the of the Are you
Speaker 1: a fan of the Zack Snyder reboots? I am not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I am decidedly staunchly so staunchly. Yeah. They're pretty self
Speaker 1: serious now, they are endlessly serious. Yeah. Man, I've never
Speaker 1: popped open a issue of Superman and went, oh, I
Speaker 1: love how fucking humorless and serious, right right right, this
Speaker 1: is so fun. Um yeah, they're just serious and Superman
Speaker 1: doesn't care about people. He cares about himself and he's MOPy.
Speaker 1: Like the ultimate frame in these in the Zack Snyder
Speaker 1: Superman cinematic universe is Superman standing in what once was
Speaker 1: the Capitol Building which had just been atomized. Corpses on
Speaker 1: fire strewn everywhere, And no, he is not standing triumphantly.
Speaker 1: He's going people aren't gonna like me, sad face, and
Speaker 1: it's not like poor these people. It's another thing I'm
Speaker 1: going to get blamed for classic Superman. That's so stupid.
Speaker 1: Well then, and then on the flip side of that
Speaker 1: question for this topic, what is your favorite iteration of
Speaker 1: Superman out of like every piece of like out of
Speaker 1: like your small bills and all that stuff. I would
Speaker 1: say that, uh. In filmed media, Christopher in the first
Speaker 1: Superman movie. He's good to check it out, but that
Speaker 1: first one is just it's my favorite movie, and he
Speaker 1: just he's amazing. I've always thought of myself as a
Speaker 1: batman gay. Yeah, but I think it's oh, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a batman gay. Um, but I uh, I just don't. Really.
Speaker 1: I'm realizing now I don't have much of a vocabulary
Speaker 1: for Superman. And it's one of those things that I
Speaker 1: sometimes do, which is I really like one thing, and
Speaker 1: when any other thing is like sort of rival risks
Speaker 1: with it and other people like it, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: it's bad. Yeah, I don't do that. I don't. I
Speaker 1: actually no, I don't know. It's like that was Star
Speaker 1: Trek with me because I'm a big Star Wars and
Speaker 1: I don't need to see Star Trek. So you think
Speaker 1: that adjacent properties are frequently mutually exclusive. I feel like
Speaker 1: I must take a side. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I can't like coke and Pepsi? Yeah, no exactly. And
Speaker 1: let me tell you, up until recently, I was a
Speaker 1: Pepsi boy. But now I feel like I can't be
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm sorry, Paps, I can't be on your
Speaker 1: side anymore. After Candle, not after not after um Superman's Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta admit, And Michael, I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: this might come as a disappointment. I don't have that
Speaker 1: much of a vocabulary for Superman. I have a question
Speaker 1: about it. Do you think that they kind of darkened
Speaker 1: up the Superman films as a response to the success
Speaker 1: of The Batman. Christopher stuffing more door probably. I mean
Speaker 1: the First Man of Steel was produced by Christopher Nolan's
Speaker 1: production company, so he kind of hired Zack Snyder for
Speaker 1: this whole shit show. Um yeah, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: like the serious thing was in ye for a while,
Speaker 1: but I think it's kind of over and because they
Speaker 1: has found itself mired in it, which is why I
Speaker 1: think they're trying to make like Justice League fun and
Speaker 1: hopefully Wonder Woman is going to be fun. I hear
Speaker 1: it's good year, it's good too. She looks amazing, She
Speaker 1: looks amazing. I think it looks amazing. I'm cautiously optimistic
Speaker 1: that Wonder Woman is going to be everything. Honey. Yes,
Speaker 1: when I hope it is, I really I hope it is.
Speaker 1: I want to just be screaming yes, Diana, Yes, But
Speaker 1: do you have it? Do you remember when there was
Speaker 1: those rumors that this is like had to be like
Speaker 1: six or seven years ago, when it was first rumored
Speaker 1: that Wonder Woman was going to be a movie, which
Speaker 1: I guess that there's always been rumblings about it, right,
Speaker 1: But then when it first, it was in some trade
Speaker 1: that Beyonce was going to be a wonder Woman. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine? Can you imagine? I mean kind of yes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was rhetoric. Yeah, absolutely mean. I'm sure gal Gado
Speaker 1: was going to be wonderful, but if I have the
Speaker 1: option of Beyonce. I have always appreciated Beyonce's screen talents,
Speaker 1: acting talents. Guys, what if they made a wonder Woman
Speaker 1: movie in the late nineties and it was Katherine z Jones.
Speaker 1: I would have been down for it. She would have
Speaker 1: been like, you know, she's such like a tigress, and
Speaker 1: that would have been It might not have been the
Speaker 1: best movie, but it would have been Late nineties superhero
Speaker 1: movies are the actual worst. Well let me add some Spawn. Yeah. Spawn.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I actually know someone that was in Spawn.
Speaker 1: They were in it, Yes, Sydney. Sydney Boudoir, who I
Speaker 1: went to college with, was a little girl in the
Speaker 1: movie Spawn. I think she'd Spawns daughter. I'm gonna fact
Speaker 1: check this with with my friends that that went to
Speaker 1: college with us, but I'm almost positive that's true. That
Speaker 1: is so spawnsored so quintessentially of its time. What a
Speaker 1: horrible movie, but so what was the first good superhero
Speaker 1: movie of that? I guess Spider Man, right, the two
Speaker 1: thousand one Spider Man with Tobes, X Men X Man.
Speaker 1: People say X Men in two thousand I'm not a
Speaker 1: fan of x Men. I'm not a super big fan
Speaker 1: of Spider Man in two thousand two, of horrible in general,
Speaker 1: you're a super big fan of marw I definitely don't
Speaker 1: really read Marvel books, but I do like a lot
Speaker 1: of the movies. I think that X two is like great,
Speaker 1: great one I haven't seen, and Spider Man two is
Speaker 1: really good, but I think mostly sorry Gang, I think
Speaker 1: Sam Reimi is a hack with with three people who
Speaker 1: live for like evil dead, an army of darkness and
Speaker 1: drag me to hell in all this business, I'm like, no, sure,
Speaker 1: one of the craziest, one of the craziest bad movies.
Speaker 1: There are more musical numbers and Spider Man three than
Speaker 1: in Spider Man Turn Off the Did you see that? Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I saw that twice paid for zero times.
Speaker 1: So my partner's family was coming to visit New York
Speaker 1: and they wanted to see its tickets too, and I
Speaker 1: was like, these tickets are expensive, Oh my god, and
Speaker 1: we watched this thing and oh my odd. So like
Speaker 1: it starts and you're like, oh, table, or I can
Speaker 1: get on board with this. It's like saffron fabric swings.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, oh my god. And then oh god,
Speaker 1: it's the you. It can be summed up. It can
Speaker 1: be summed up like this. There is a number where
Speaker 1: Spider Man makes his debut and it's fucking cool. He
Speaker 1: is swinging all around. It's like mind blowing how all
Speaker 1: of this technology is working, because it's like those roving
Speaker 1: uh robot drone things from which is literally they use
Speaker 1: that so insane because I mean, if things go wrong,
Speaker 1: these actors are danger but these are just incredible acrobatic
Speaker 1: performers and it's like so expensive looking and cool. And
Speaker 1: you know, uh, there's a pretty dope act truly edge
Speaker 1: guitar riff that's that's playing while all the ship's happening,
Speaker 1: and it's like, yes, I'm on board with this. Everyone's wrong.
Speaker 1: It's gonna make its money bag is gonna be great.
Speaker 1: And then um so all the Spider Man stuff, the
Speaker 1: live action Spider Man kind of swings off stage and
Speaker 1: you hear a voice over of a crying baby and
Speaker 1: then a giant cardboard cut out four stories tall of
Speaker 1: a crying baby lowers from the rafters, and as it's falling,
Speaker 1: a cardboard cut out of a spider man hand tips
Speaker 1: in and just as like it catches the baby, and
Speaker 1: the number ends with hard board. We have just watched
Speaker 1: a dizzying blend of physical prowess and technical logical achievement
Speaker 1: ends with fucking cardboard. It is pure madness. And at
Speaker 1: that point you were just your arms folded right there, folded.
Speaker 1: I literally, I think, went, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: describe this to podcast people. You know when you're like,
Speaker 1: who knows with your arms? Well, and I did that,
Speaker 1: and I think I turned to someone and I went,
Speaker 1: what honestly crazy. I have to say I'm happy that
Speaker 1: I missed it also because I never thought that Bono
Speaker 1: was going to write good music from musical. I'm guessing
Speaker 1: the music was pretty bad, right well, I mean some
Speaker 1: of it was bad, but some of it was good. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm revealing you two is my favorite band by a mile.
Speaker 1: The uh well, it's fine, people should on the muh.
Speaker 1: I know, I loved that about I listened to that
Speaker 1: podcast and I just snapped and and loved it. Um.
Speaker 1: The problem with the score is that a bunch of
Speaker 1: equipment was put in front of speakers feedback, so you
Speaker 1: can't hear lyrics. It was crazy. I also read the
Speaker 1: Glen Burger, one of the book writers, from a book
Speaker 1: called Song of Spider Man, where he's talking about all
Speaker 1: this promise and how it snowballed into this nightmare, and
Speaker 1: one of the things was, oh, yeah, we built this
Speaker 1: huge set piece that um pretty nicely snugly fits right
Speaker 1: over the main speaker. I hope you're cool with it everyone.
Speaker 1: So it's it's that's just epic, Like what an epic?
Speaker 1: What a what not to do? Julie? Why didn't you?
Speaker 1: Why didn't you get in there? I think she might
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a crazy mess too, though, right,
Speaker 1: a little bit of one. The first time Disney was
Speaker 1: like no Julie, no Julie, crazy lady. Oh sorry, which
Speaker 1: hits I don't think so. Then then when she won
Speaker 1: all these Tony's and had all this acclaim, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: just I guess that's just let Julie be Julie. I
Speaker 1: mean that has to be what happened. And a jukebox
Speaker 1: Musical of the Beatles. Yeah, I didn't like that movie either.
Speaker 1: I have to ask you about Andrew Looyd Webber, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've definitely met him a bunch and worked with him
Speaker 1: and yeah, and he's on He's a he's a man
Speaker 1: with two feet friendly planted on Earth. Um yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean all of my dealings with him have been
Speaker 1: very pleasant and nice. Um. So there's no tea I
Speaker 1: can't see. There's a ton of tea about I think
Speaker 1: he would give me the tea about Dubbs. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think of, like Andrew gossip, just that he's like
Speaker 1: an eccentric person. I guess. Remember he guess judged American
Speaker 1: Idol and he was crazy with the contestants that you
Speaker 1: were playing a glamor Pus and like it was like
Speaker 1: you're a glamor Pus And she was like, oh my god, Okay,
Speaker 1: the woman was like unsettled and she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: so here's the coolest thing that happened. Uh that was like,
Speaker 1: oh a little peek behind the A L. Dubs curtain
Speaker 1: was there was this like, you know, bit of transition
Speaker 1: music that Andrew wrote and then did not like during
Speaker 1: tech so we're kind of standing on stage and he's saying,
Speaker 1: I can't that's not that get me a get me
Speaker 1: a piano. Oh my god. So I guess it was.
Speaker 1: There was this piano that was like in the uh,
Speaker 1: one of the wings of the Winter Garden, and someone
Speaker 1: pushed it out and it was like a rehearsal piano. Um,
Speaker 1: and Andrew went up to it and I see him
Speaker 1: doing like math in his head. Oh my god, and
Speaker 1: then he just plunks out the thing, uh, the new
Speaker 1: transition music. His assistant is watching feverishly because he knows
Speaker 1: he's about to have to go tell the pit um
Speaker 1: exactly what this new music is. And so to watch
Speaker 1: creation like that and then like a very efficient process
Speaker 1: for delivering that information because literally then we walked off stage,
Speaker 1: reset the scene, did the transition with the new music,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, it was fucking crazy. That's incrane.
Speaker 1: So that's that's It's not like juicy, but it's I think,
Speaker 1: watch the juice, but I want the tea, and the
Speaker 1: tea does not necessarily need to be juice high. So
Speaker 1: that is different than the juice rule Number eighty nine
Speaker 1: of culture is different from the juice from her than
Speaker 1: I don't care a bitch. Okay's different than the juice.
Speaker 1: He's different than the juice. Okay, So besides Superman, yeah,
Speaker 1: Walt Disney World. Oh and why do you say, oh,
Speaker 1: like you're surprised, Like this isn't a big part of
Speaker 1: your life. Don't be apologizing. I'm not apologized. I don't cover,
Speaker 1: don't cover. I'm not covering. It's just non chronological. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you want to Superman? Ok So, then Mary watched
Speaker 1: my first episode of SNL. Yes, yes, Mary Tyler Moore
Speaker 1: was the host the Late Beloved What what I was? Um?
Speaker 1: Days from nine years old? Okay, okay, okay, five days
Speaker 1: from trees from nine and um yeah, there was this
Speaker 1: robot hair sketch. It's pretty famous that Phil Hartman did that.
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, like my brain like rewired
Speaker 1: from watching it. So then that year, like the Naked
Speaker 1: Gun came out, and I think that was the year
Speaker 1: that Spaceballs like started airing on cable, which I had.
Speaker 1: So it was like all these parody, farce, satire things
Speaker 1: all at once, and I love that well when it's
Speaker 1: done well, I love that ship. I guess the last
Speaker 1: really good like parody movie I still I love Scary
Speaker 1: Movie three, but like then they got so bad. The
Speaker 1: last great one for me was that was not a
Speaker 1: scary movie. Was not another team you love, not another
Speaker 1: team movie. And that was my answer. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good one. When she goes over to the girl and
Speaker 1: they're trying to make her hit checked over the glasses
Speaker 1: and puts her head on and goes done, I mean,
Speaker 1: actually actually goes I'm a genius, I'm a miracle worker.
Speaker 1: And then there's just a beat of them both staring
Speaker 1: in the mirror for like a second too long, and
Speaker 1: it's like kind of perfect editing. Yeah, it's great. Um
Speaker 1: a favorite SML cast member Hartman or I have a guess,
Speaker 1: Mike my errors correct? Miss who um who? Hartney got
Speaker 1: to see another Forever Dog Podcast live episode. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Donald's Vin McDonald's shows podcast and that was so fun
Speaker 1: and then we all we all hung out afterwards. It
Speaker 1: was you have to talk to him a little tiny bit.
Speaker 1: That was the whole world so fun. It was so great,
Speaker 1: such a legend, yeah, I mean, and hearing him talk
Speaker 1: and Michael, you can speak to this too. But it
Speaker 1: was like it sucked the year out of the room,
Speaker 1: like you were just listening to his every word. And
Speaker 1: what stuck with me was he's making this documentary now
Speaker 1: about I forgot who? And I think, Joe, do you
Speaker 1: know remember who this was about? Well, he had made
Speaker 1: a documentary like a manager of musicians. Yes, yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: And I and Kevin asked him, like why he made
Speaker 1: that documentary or why he wanted to And then Mike
Speaker 1: Mike was saying how he wanted to show that you
Speaker 1: can be successful and have this prolific career with UM
Speaker 1: but also be a nice person. And it's like and
Speaker 1: be kind that's said, and I was like, oh, then
Speaker 1: that must mean Mike Myers is a kind person, and
Speaker 1: like I fully believe that, and that's that's that's the t. Well,
Speaker 1: he was certainly kind to us, Yes, And then I
Speaker 1: had bought his Canada book. I was in a bookstore.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this book existed. I was in a
Speaker 1: bookstore in l A. And I just suddenly see Mike
Speaker 1: Myers Canada and I was like, what the fuck grab it.
Speaker 1: It's a giant book written by my idol. I never
Speaker 1: heard about Canada. And I was like, well, I'm paying
Speaker 1: full price for this fucking book. I can't believe I'm
Speaker 1: doing this, uh and immediately yeah, snatch it up. Did
Speaker 1: you like the book? I love? I gotta get it.
Speaker 1: Is it funny? It's hilarious. I mean, you know a
Speaker 1: lot of it's about Canada, but it's about him growing up.
Speaker 1: I mean learning about Canada is cool, and be learning
Speaker 1: about him. I mean he definitely folds in, um getting
Speaker 1: into comedy, training as Second City, getting hired for us
Speaker 1: to know. So it's it's it's great. Yeah. So is
Speaker 1: it one of those autobiographies that like this is disguise
Speaker 1: is something else? Yeah? I mean, I gotta get I
Speaker 1: had no idea he had this book out either until
Speaker 1: I think probably the show. But now like you're now,
Speaker 1: you're reminding me of it, I want to get it again.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the worst autobiography that's out there. That's stupid,
Speaker 1: Neil Patrick Harris. Choose your own adventure autobiography, you know
Speaker 1: and entirely as to choose your own adventure Rogers. That
Speaker 1: ship was on you wait listen, I bought that ship.
Speaker 1: I wanted it to be better than it was. Because
Speaker 1: you you like a fucking I love me some Neil.
Speaker 1: You like a clean cut gay with a gimmick. Kidding,
Speaker 1: I do like a clean cut gack with a gimmick. Um. Well, no,
Speaker 1: it's so bad. It's so distracting. Like, if you want
Speaker 1: to find out what happened when I got cast in
Speaker 1: Rent and fucked a woman, flipped a page eighty nine.
Speaker 1: If not, and you want to see a fucking crazy
Speaker 1: picture up to sixteen, it's like I don't care. It's
Speaker 1: like I want to read the book of your life.
Speaker 1: That's why I got it. I get that it's fun.
Speaker 1: It was also magic is so stupid. That is the
Speaker 1: kernel of truth that we arrive. I like when a
Speaker 1: gay though has like a really like not gay passion
Speaker 1: like Superman, but you can sider magic and not gay. No,
Speaker 1: I think it's like a like a really like brutal
Speaker 1: le dorky straight person. Yeah, I agree, what's your straight passion?
Speaker 1: Video games? But I think, but there is a culture
Speaker 1: of gay but like I don't I don't fully buying
Speaker 1: it out culture either, because there are some real fucking
Speaker 1: weirders out there. I think I have exclusively gay interests,
Speaker 1: But I would say I would say the rollercoaster thing
Speaker 1: is like a borderline. Yeah, Like I'm like on screamscape
Speaker 1: dot com, which is like a website that is devoted
Speaker 1: to North American theme parks like and I know, like
Speaker 1: all the roller coaster designers, I know, like all the
Speaker 1: companies like and all the types of coasters like and
Speaker 1: it's like a it's like a. And one time I
Speaker 1: went to a paramount King's Island in Ohio by myself
Speaker 1: when I was on tour doing something and I went
Speaker 1: by myself and I found myself online for this ride. Um.
Speaker 1: It was called Banshee. It was like a like a
Speaker 1: inverted roller coaster. And like I was online with this
Speaker 1: couple that clearly were like roller coaster people, and they
Speaker 1: were talking about and they were getting into it, and
Speaker 1: I was like and excuse me, hi, um, and I
Speaker 1: like all I was like being a real freak with them,
Speaker 1: like we all had looked up the roller coaster database
Speaker 1: and lift it all up in new exact heights of
Speaker 1: the coasters and speeds and like how many inversions everything had.
Speaker 1: And it was yeah, but I was a yeah, I said,
Speaker 1: that's like a really straight thing. And one straight thing
Speaker 1: about me is but then like when when you get
Speaker 1: down to it, it really to me, it is all
Speaker 1: about Disney and Universal. It's about Orlando, it's about immersive
Speaker 1: theme park experiences. But I feel like roller coaster culture
Speaker 1: and immersive theme park culture are different totally. Six Flags
Speaker 1: is not Six Flags is not a immerse it. It's
Speaker 1: not a theme parks park. And anytime someone says to
Speaker 1: me like like, I'm more of a six Flags person
Speaker 1: than a Universal studious person or Disney person, I'm like,
Speaker 1: you have no imagination, then you're to your trash. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: So if you like to get sick and spin around,
Speaker 1: you should be in hospital. And what Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have my quick stroke real quick. And when we come back,
Speaker 1: we're going to get into it about Disney. What with
Speaker 1: Michael Harney, because I can't let him go not on
Speaker 1: this podcast without getting into it. Also, these bitches have
Speaker 1: betrayed me, so you'll find out about that right after
Speaker 1: this message from our sponsors. Okay, girl, we have for
Speaker 1: you all a little bit of an offer with our
Speaker 1: friend Michael Hartney. No, Michael, let's talk about Casper Mattress.
Speaker 1: What what a stirring tale? What a stirring tale? Well,
Speaker 1: let's you know what. We pitched this movie called five
Speaker 1: Days for Morby Parker Store and it became a huge hit,
Speaker 1: a huge, huge film, winner of three Golden Globe nominations.
Speaker 1: Cute like the Mara sisters both one sister's both one
Speaker 1: for their small supporting roles. Yes they're under fives. Now
Speaker 1: let's pitch a movie for Casper Mattresses Honey. I think
Speaker 1: this is a magical fairy tale. Yeah, well, so we
Speaker 1: have a magical fairy tale, of which, of course stars
Speaker 1: Ana Kendrick. Anna Kendrick is the prince house as the princess.
Speaker 1: Because you know, once you see someone in a role
Speaker 1: and it really works, you just keep doing that. You're
Speaker 1: talking about Cinderella. Oh yeah, and into the woods she
Speaker 1: killed killed it. Now. Anna Kendrick stars as Princess Galina
Speaker 1: and she's out there and this is like a princess
Speaker 1: of the modern tale, a modernization of the She's mattress
Speaker 1: less in the beginnings mattress list in the beginning with
Speaker 1: then a witch gives her a Casper mattress honey played
Speaker 1: by Cela Ward. Yes, thank you finally and who Who's back?
Speaker 1: Who's back? She comes back, like Paley's comment, once every
Speaker 1: sixteen years. Absolutely, And the witch says every one in
Speaker 1: again end, you might say, and you think of Cela,
Speaker 1: She's one of my sisters. So she gives her this enchanted,
Speaker 1: enchanted matchtress and she either can say fifty dollars on
Speaker 1: it or do a one hundred day free trial. This
Speaker 1: is this is this is real? Is this really? You
Speaker 1: can do a Cathine Mattress on day free trial. You
Speaker 1: can do one one hundred day free trial by locking
Speaker 1: onto trial dot com forward. It might be part of
Speaker 1: the offer. Who knows, but anyway, that's like the end
Speaker 1: of act one. That's the end of act And then
Speaker 1: in the second act, her best friend played by Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift in a terrible performance, horrible. She's so bad in
Speaker 1: this like stop putting pop stars in the movie she
Speaker 1: plays the squirrel best friend and the c g I
Speaker 1: is terrible, terrible. Ball is so bad. The mo cap
Speaker 1: dots are still you can still see them. It's such
Speaker 1: a bad perform and such a bad movie, in such
Speaker 1: a such a bad moment that I should say the
Speaker 1: movie's grant. His girlfriend betrays her, betrays by setting setting
Speaker 1: a fire in the forest, and the bed burns and
Speaker 1: the bed burns. But then the witches revealed to be
Speaker 1: a fairy, and the fairy gives her a new cast
Speaker 1: for mattress that she has to pay around because she
Speaker 1: did have that fifty dollar discount for a mattress that
Speaker 1: has just the right thing, just the right bounce to
Speaker 1: phone technology. I was going to say, and that's actually
Speaker 1: a twist in later part of the movie because um
Speaker 1: Galina the princess loses her memory Oh my god. And
Speaker 1: then she lays down on the on the memory phone
Speaker 1: and she gets it back, and then she finds her
Speaker 1: latex under the bed, if you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because that prince is played by Orlando Bloom. That's correct.
Speaker 1: There you go. And I'm sorry I got that wrong.
Speaker 1: Orlando Jones better. So guys, log onto, don't log on.
Speaker 1: There's no log in. That's the use of your experience.
Speaker 1: It's already perfected. You don't have to log in for
Speaker 1: this Casper trial dot com forward slash lost culture, rest
Speaker 1: us for your trial and to really change your life
Speaker 1: the way that this film changed Ana kendricks life. Because
Speaker 1: her career is over now. And what's what's the film called.
Speaker 1: The film is called Once Upon a Mattress and Honey.
Speaker 1: That is a little bit of an offer and We're
Speaker 1: back with Michael Hartney, and I could say you just
Speaker 1: heard a little bit about a magical world, and I'm
Speaker 1: ready to talk more about a magical world. And you guys,
Speaker 1: I have breaking tea. Did you see what I hosted today? Okay,
Speaker 1: so for everyone at home, did you see this? Producer Joe,
Speaker 1: Yes you did, you commented? Alright. So a while back
Speaker 1: I did a little change that or petition literally kind
Speaker 1: of as a joke saying the Trump animatronics shouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to speak in Hall of Presidents. It got like
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand signatures, low and behold and whatever I mean.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, yeah, I really believe this,
Speaker 1: Like this should not happen. This is like a place
Speaker 1: for families and children and international populace, So like, why
Speaker 1: why do we have to listen to this? Now? The
Speaker 1: g that it's probably not going to happen, that the
Speaker 1: animatronic is probably not going to speak because Disney doesn't
Speaker 1: want it to deal with it. Trump won't cooperate, and
Speaker 1: the imagineers don't are just they don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: They're kind of like well in Iraq and a hard
Speaker 1: place because the thing has to reopen. But also like
Speaker 1: you don't even know if you wanted to record it
Speaker 1: because of what could be going on with Russia, right right, right,
Speaker 1: if you haven't read the news and you only listen
Speaker 1: to this podcast, like ship's gone down with Russia, so
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta look that up. So thank you,
Speaker 1: America's number one. Not you're only harbingers of culture. Um,
Speaker 1: so I'm your most trusted news source, and you can
Speaker 1: get that, right. What's fascinating is well, I mean, wasn't
Speaker 1: this also like floating around? Was that they wanted to
Speaker 1: cut the time down from twenty three minutes to like, well,
Speaker 1: this is a this is a good topic. What do
Speaker 1: you think of the longer Disney attractions, these shows, these
Speaker 1: performances Jane Bery? Sorry, well that is shortened. H that's
Speaker 1: a cool thing that I know. I think it was
Speaker 1: in the article. Maybe that's why I know. Yeah, yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: I feel better. Um for me, they can be long.
Speaker 1: I'm fine, especially because I don't know if y'all know this,
Speaker 1: but Florida is hot, Florida is warm. It's warm there.
Speaker 1: Do you want to go to to a building? You
Speaker 1: don't want to be kicked out? That ship has a
Speaker 1: c there's nothing like the A C when you go
Speaker 1: in there in Florida. Are you kidding me? It is
Speaker 1: the best. Honestly, every time I go out to Universal
Speaker 1: Studios and I go into the E T room, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, thank God, thank God, let me see
Speaker 1: the stars, honey. And I don't. I don't like that
Speaker 1: attraction very much. Although it's a little bit of a guy.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a g Yeah, you know what, I
Speaker 1: do love it. Here's what I don't love. And this
Speaker 1: is weird when they get to eat planet deck and
Speaker 1: then it gets weird, it gets weird. Don't like it?
Speaker 1: And ready that room warm all of a sudden warm,
Speaker 1: it's warm? Yeah, what happened to the temp? And you
Speaker 1: know non Cannon those aliens, those are canonical aliens, the
Speaker 1: one that's like wholcome do you think that Spielberg was like, well,
Speaker 1: we've really got to get our people. Just we've really
Speaker 1: got to sign off on all of these. Just this
Speaker 1: one with ninety eyes and the rest of you know,
Speaker 1: just make literally I'm tired. Oh my, they should be
Speaker 1: smally that's yeah, that's better. In fact, this one that
Speaker 1: that's the flower. Can we get rid of her? No,
Speaker 1: those didn't make any sense. But yeah, I did not
Speaker 1: clock that it was warm in that room. You know what,
Speaker 1: I changed my mind. I don't like it anymore. I love,
Speaker 1: I love, I know what fond childhood memories on on
Speaker 1: that right? What a great cue. But why is there
Speaker 1: no animatronic Drew? There should be an animatronic Drew. Okay,
Speaker 1: Drew the Arrymore. It took you a second. I think
Speaker 1: of her as right right, right right, she she was.
Speaker 1: She wasn't Drew yet. She was going to say she
Speaker 1: was not true. She was not true as we know her.
Speaker 1: I guess she never had the opportunity to be Gurtie.
Speaker 1: For me, it was always little Drew Barrymore. What's the
Speaker 1: tea is? Is that getting struck down to make way
Speaker 1: for something? I feel like that's got to be next.
Speaker 1: Also at Universal Studios, Florida. What's old is that terminator
Speaker 1: which is not holding up? Now? I haven't seen her
Speaker 1: well she was. This is the t during the Right
Speaker 1: Experiences and Films Terminator to She was supposed to get
Speaker 1: knocked down early on because James Cameron they were talking
Speaker 1: to her for Avatar about putting Avatar in that space.
Speaker 1: Avatar and now famously we know she though it has
Speaker 1: now just opened up an animal kingdom where you bitches
Speaker 1: are going next week, which we are out there on
Speaker 1: a gig and Heartney God bless him, was like just emailed.
Speaker 1: Everybody in the group was like, yeah, hey, not to
Speaker 1: be a monster, but Bowen and I are going to
Speaker 1: fucking Disney World and we want to go see, uh
Speaker 1: what is it called World of Pandora? But then what's
Speaker 1: the light of passage? Which I've just realized that is
Speaker 1: a pun on rid of passage, which and I hate it.
Speaker 1: I hate that. Yeah, yeah, I just realized that in
Speaker 1: this second Um and those fucking TVs, those TV ads
Speaker 1: where you see the fucking animatronic blue person just saying
Speaker 1: come da, welcome to Pandora, when that is why I
Speaker 1: speak NAVI boys Unobtainium. But that name is apparently like
Speaker 1: just legendary. It's like sort of like this, um, it's no, no, no,
Speaker 1: but it's like it's been throughout it's been in literature
Speaker 1: throughout the ages, the name of Obtainium has been Yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently that's like I was having this conversation with someone
Speaker 1: was like, what a fucking stupid name, Like they couldn't
Speaker 1: have thought of something better, And they were like, no,
Speaker 1: it's actually hasn't. I actually don't believe them at all.
Speaker 1: They showed me here's the reality about here's the reality
Speaker 1: it showed me scrolled illustrated scrolls they had, They had
Speaker 1: the receipts on a um, here's the t about World
Speaker 1: of Pandora. I'm hearing there are some issues, and I
Speaker 1: never I want to say something because I know that
Speaker 1: you are. You're a Disney guy. Yeah, as a universal gay.
Speaker 1: I I'm not throwing shade at Disney. I just I
Speaker 1: get disappointed sometimes when I feel like something that I
Speaker 1: love so much when I was little has become a
Speaker 1: mall you know what I mean? It's always benefit not
Speaker 1: really okay, Hartney would see you. I mean, I do
Speaker 1: understand the uh frustration with another another price hike, another
Speaker 1: uh you know, deluxe experience that you'd have to pony
Speaker 1: up for. But the thing is you don't have to
Speaker 1: do any of those things. But but but I I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it's just me feeling entitled to Disney, right, well,
Speaker 1: I think that is. I feel like that is. It's
Speaker 1: an insane phenomenon that so many people feel like an ownership. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this corporation. I mean, it's really bizarre and I am no,
Speaker 1: I'm not immune to it at all, but like it's
Speaker 1: sweet that we all care so much about this thing.
Speaker 1: But it really is a company with like you know,
Speaker 1: a board in a in a glass conference and they
Speaker 1: would kill you if they had to. Oh, they would,
Speaker 1: they would, that's the thing. If they knew you would
Speaker 1: expose their secrets, they would kill you in a second.
Speaker 1: So would Taylor Swift. She would watch the light leave
Speaker 1: your eyes. Taylor Swift that anyone with over a million
Speaker 1: dollars I think would kill you. Would if I had
Speaker 1: money to protect and you're dead. If you're a threat
Speaker 1: to me, you're done, so you are, I would kill you.
Speaker 1: Are forecasting your manslaughter. No murder, I'm premeditated premeditated murder.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. Um, I guess I just Oh but speaking
Speaker 1: of which, speaking of like this, just remembering that it's
Speaker 1: a corporation, Like even this fucking article that you posted
Speaker 1: to day about the Hall of Presidents, um, like Bob
Speaker 1: iger fucking made a statement about it back like right
Speaker 1: after the election. Like even it's it's gone all the
Speaker 1: way up to like the highest ranks of Disney for
Speaker 1: him to be like, I will come out and make
Speaker 1: a statement about the Hall of Presidents, and it's like that.
Speaker 1: It's a bizarre position they themselves, that's for sure. I
Speaker 1: don't know what I will say. When I went to
Speaker 1: Hall of Presidents in I was so fucking scared someone Obama.
Speaker 1: I was terrified it did not happen that it restored
Speaker 1: my faith in America. And you know what I did.
Speaker 1: I burst into tears. Oh that's beautiful. It is not beautiful.
Speaker 1: It was pathetic. No, I love it. So that trip,
Speaker 1: that January trip to Disney. So I had first gone
Speaker 1: in with my family. Then I went on spring break
Speaker 1: when I was eighteen with like high schoolers. Were we
Speaker 1: a homo at this point, we were an out homo
Speaker 1: came out when I was sixteen, so I was. So
Speaker 1: we went to the House of Blues and Downtown Disney
Speaker 1: or whatever the Disney Springs Disney Sings now Disney Springs, um.
Speaker 1: And we had a server who said I said something.
Speaker 1: We were kind of joking around and I must have
Speaker 1: said something slightly queeny or something. Remember that word queeney.
Speaker 1: I said it. Because the story is from the nineties
Speaker 1: and Ra's character and Benjamin Button was named Queeney. Some
Speaker 1: facts for the kids. I have a good bendroomin Button story.
Speaker 1: Um and that he went, hey, man, you're being a
Speaker 1: little and he like flipped his wrist down and he went,
Speaker 1: you're being a little Disney. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I am Disney, motherfucker, and if you have a problem
Speaker 1: with it, I guess you can fuck off and not
Speaker 1: get a tip from us. I was pissed. Yeah, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't And this table, the table of my friends was
Speaker 1: also not having it. God blast. Did he get fired? No,
Speaker 1: he apologized. I mean he was being nice up until then.
Speaker 1: It's not like you said you're a fag and I'm
Speaker 1: going to get you. He probably thought he was being funny.
Speaker 1: He definitely thought he was being funny. Man, you're being
Speaker 1: a little Disney. Oh god, that's the worst sentence I've
Speaker 1: ever heard. For those of you who lists, I probably
Speaker 1: didn't call him a motherfucker, but I definitely suppressed that
Speaker 1: you're just send to an out gay person who doesn't
Speaker 1: appreciate what you're saying. For those of you who can't see,
Speaker 1: like right before the Disney it's just like limp rest.
Speaker 1: It's like, throw that wrist down. Hate that disgusting. It
Speaker 1: was gross. I hate when you find that in those
Speaker 1: parks too, which is like, what's so frustrating about the
Speaker 1: whole chart animatronic thing is that you remember it is
Speaker 1: flow it off and like a lot like there is
Speaker 1: a lot of trash that rolls through there. So it's like,
Speaker 1: but I'll say, I've never seen anyone give any shade
Speaker 1: to any same sex couple or anything like that. I
Speaker 1: think they they leave it at the door and heartening

Speaker 1: that's actually the plot of the second movie, the night
Speaker 1: before we are there. I think tidal Wave, which is
Speaker 1: like the gay party like Typhoon lagoon. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: getting just like fucking jacked off? In the way pool. O. God,
Speaker 1: that thing is going to be just there's just going
Speaker 1: to be like a layer of ganaree on the top
Speaker 1: of that lazy film. I'm so sad we're not there longer,
Speaker 1: so stay longer. No, we can only go there for
Speaker 1: like a small window of time because we're only there
Speaker 1: for the weekend. Are you doing a full day? No,
Speaker 1: it's like we're doing a night right, So we're doing
Speaker 1: We're doing We're opening the park, then we're going back
Speaker 1: doing our gig, and then we're going back at night.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm obsessed with this commitment. Amazing. And
Speaker 1: meanwhile everyone else is like, well half the group is going.
Speaker 1: The other half is like, yeah, we're gonna So did
Speaker 1: you fast pass already pass? Because we're getting put up
Speaker 1: in a hotel with our job and we were like,
Speaker 1: this is not enough. So the three of us got
Speaker 1: a room at All Star Music so that we could
Speaker 1: get fast passes and extra magic hours. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: extra magic like be waking nightmares that we are. So
Speaker 1: are you getting a park Copper? Are you just? And
Speaker 1: the thing is we change our minds. We can always
Speaker 1: upgrade to a park Copper, which we did. We literally did.
Speaker 1: We went too, but you're not gonna want to. Well,
Speaker 1: we can talk a lot about which park has the
Speaker 1: magic hours whatever, but like you at home are like
Speaker 1: literally asleep. We've talked about Superman Disney. That's what my
Speaker 1: That's what I love though, and the listeners know that,
Speaker 1: I mean, they love me for it. I think some
Speaker 1: day soon and I will prophesy this, we there will
Speaker 1: be a June someday where we bring all the queer
Speaker 1: queer adjacent people and we all go. We have to
Speaker 1: we have to go drink. I really want to go.
Speaker 1: And also it has to be doing. It has to
Speaker 1: be during gay days. I don't know. I think it'd
Speaker 1: be so fun. It would be fun. But you can
Speaker 1: make it your own gay day and told when there's
Speaker 1: no family, like no craziness. Sort of agreeing with that, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you can make your own. We have our
Speaker 1: Gay Day experience because it just is serendipitous. Yes, but
Speaker 1: I'm I am like all about a fall. I'm all
Speaker 1: about like getting there in October into I'm into right
Speaker 1: after New Year's as well. For sure? Is that all
Speaker 1: the temperature is a little funky? Oh totally. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I used to go for New Year's I
Speaker 1: went two years in a row. I did that's peak,
Speaker 1: peak peak crowd. When Hogwarts was first opened, we did
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve and as I event during Universit studios
Speaker 1: and it was crazy crowd. And here's what Matt Rogers did.
Speaker 1: He was waiting. He was batting with Chelsea, his sister
Speaker 1: Chelsea for Forbidden Journey, young sister Harry Potter Forbidden Journey.
Speaker 1: The line was nuts, and so they decided to just
Speaker 1: walk in and cut the whole fucking line, not correct
Speaker 1: the line to the Wizarding World at large. It was
Speaker 1: three hours long. You couldn't get even into the land,
Speaker 1: and so I was going to have to wait to
Speaker 1: get three hours just to get into the land to
Speaker 1: look at the fucking castle. Castle. And I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, because it wasn't even diagon Alley. It's just stupid.
Speaker 1: Now they have diagon Alley, but at first they did it.
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, come on, and
Speaker 1: we just walked past the line, honey, walked around. No
Speaker 1: one stop, nobody, nobody even dreams. You just have to
Speaker 1: walk with purpose. I guess you just got to act
Speaker 1: like you know where you're going at all. Times, you
Speaker 1: can get it anywhere. I think if you look like
Speaker 1: you know where you're going, you look I agree with
Speaker 1: if you look like you know what's up you're getting
Speaker 1: Remember seventeen look like, look like you know where you're going?
Speaker 1: One more time. We will never seventeen of culture looks
Speaker 1: like you know where you're going. I think that's I
Speaker 1: think that's a good one. That's actually that's a that's
Speaker 1: a really practical one. It's like it's like to be
Speaker 1: the appliable, appliable, like the person you want to be
Speaker 1: in the world. You say a word like you know
Speaker 1: where you're going, say a nonword like you've been saying
Speaker 1: this word all your life, and then it's a real word.
Speaker 1: So when you're down there in Orlando, is it really
Speaker 1: just a Disney affair? Do you ever dip your towe
Speaker 1: in the universe? Studios parks? So um, I had never
Speaker 1: been a universal um. And I had this like final
Speaker 1: week before School of Rock started rehearsals on Broadway, and
Speaker 1: I knew I wasn't going to be taking vacation anytime soon.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I was like, well, honey, we've been
Speaker 1: to Disney a couple of times, now, why don't we try, uh,
Speaker 1: Universal Studios, and he was very gracious in game and
Speaker 1: indulges me on these stupid theme park adventures. And was
Speaker 1: was this with Jason and Kristen or No, that was
Speaker 1: a different No, that was Jason and Kristen. I went
Speaker 1: to Disneyland with Yes when we went to l a
Speaker 1: Dead Dad's Club, really great sketch ow. Doless Wideck was
Speaker 1: in it. Michael Hartney directed, Oh yeah, true story. I
Speaker 1: was also in it. I designed the postcard. Oh did
Speaker 1: you I did? Yeah? Cute, it was good. That was Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a fun one. Anyway, we we uh yeah,
Speaker 1: we went to Universal for the first time and uh
Speaker 1: we stayed at Cabana Bay and it really was We
Speaker 1: just did that one and it was great and uh
Speaker 1: it was very fun. But also affirmed that I am
Speaker 1: doggedly Disney. Okay, explain he likes the atmosphere I like. Um,
Speaker 1: I feel like so many of the attractions that Universal
Speaker 1: rely on screens and motion simulator, which if if Disney
Speaker 1: only had rides like that, I would also be very
Speaker 1: sick of that. So I just feel like it's a
Speaker 1: diversity of mode of attraction that I'm looking for in
Speaker 1: a theme park, and there were so many screens and like,
Speaker 1: my constitution can only take so much in a row,
Speaker 1: so like we have to take these breaks, Like I
Speaker 1: can't look at another blurry ass tiny uh approximation of
Speaker 1: Helena Bonham Carter on a screen. There's only so much
Speaker 1: of that in my life. It was pretty fierce, though,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was great. It was fine. No,
Speaker 1: it was ready for my Like, here are my universal gags.
Speaker 1: Here's the one where I was like, why aren't people
Speaker 1: talking about this one? Miss mommy? Everyone talks yea was
Speaker 1: the tea and when when they killed and her blood
Speaker 1: splashes on you obession and the roof light's on fire
Speaker 1: bit and it's so hot, talk about talk about warm warm.
Speaker 1: I love DT because it's classic dark ride. Ready magic
Speaker 1: you know what? That is a magical dark ride. They've
Speaker 1: toned it down a lot. It doesn't spin at all.
Speaker 1: It used to be better because it would whip around
Speaker 1: and it was kind of fun. Now it just is
Speaker 1: fully stationary because a little kid fell out of it.
Speaker 1: Fucking tape the kid down. Yeah. I always blame the parents.
Speaker 1: They got they gotta it's it's the onus is on
Speaker 1: the parents to tape their child down. Just hold the kid.
Speaker 1: Tape down your children. Parents. So what do you think
Speaker 1: of the Jurassic Park. I think that that the one
Speaker 1: um in uh, Florida is better than the one in California.
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think it's the other way around. When
Speaker 1: I was on it in Florida, there was a woman
Speaker 1: behind me with her elderly parents, and she was this
Speaker 1: is literally the ride. Ready, Oh look, ma, tree, look
Speaker 1: my box, dad, Dad, it's a little dinosaur. Ma. Look
Speaker 1: at this farn. Like literally every now, every now that
Speaker 1: we floated by. It was fucking crazy. Look at that.
Speaker 1: So then you get much wetter. And that water, bitch,
Speaker 1: I smelled like full bar for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: It's not clean. It was not clean. I was wearing
Speaker 1: barf water on my bootrees for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: You get even wetter on the Popeye ride. I didn't
Speaker 1: go on the Popeye ride because of that. I did
Speaker 1: go on the ride such a gag. Loved it. Also
Speaker 1: classic Disney feeling. Yeah, could use a little bit of
Speaker 1: plus ing, Like, could use a code of paint the
Speaker 1: characters could use There's a tiny drop and before there's
Speaker 1: a huge drop. The tiny drop got us. So yeah,
Speaker 1: the big drop not a rivulate of water that the
Speaker 1: tiny I mean it is literally two ft. We just
Speaker 1: got fucking drenched. So all that said, Universal was very fun.
Speaker 1: I was obsessed with, like fast food boulevard SI, I
Speaker 1: think you know what, I totally agree with you. There's
Speaker 1: too many screens, many of the rides of the same,
Speaker 1: like the Transformers right in the Spiderman rides. It completely
Speaker 1: ruined Spiderman, which was revolutionary. I still think Spider Man
Speaker 1: is way better than Transformers. At least you know what
Speaker 1: the fund is happening in Spider Man. I guess I
Speaker 1: could say the same thing about the Transformers movies, though
Speaker 1: I never know what. I don't know what's happening. Could
Speaker 1: you close really more tight on this undulating box of nothing? Yeah,
Speaker 1: any idea? What's happening? Do you love that? Do you
Speaker 1: understand what's going on in the Avengers movies? I don't
Speaker 1: know what the funk is happening in any of them.
Speaker 1: I do know what's going on in Avengers movies, but
Speaker 1: the Transformers movies have me lost. Yeah, those are done,
Speaker 1: the second one, but at this point, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I've I've I've gotten lost. I can't even go
Speaker 1: see the Avengers movie because here's the problem. They're all
Speaker 1: the same movie. Now. Yeah, they started desparate, like people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, the best Keptain America movies When You're Soldiers, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that movie is just another like Adventures cut in Pace movie,
Speaker 1: the first Keptain American movie placed in the forties, and
Speaker 1: it has its own identity. The first Thor movie is
Speaker 1: like this juxtaposition of this mythical character in a like
Speaker 1: small town, like learning how to, and it has its
Speaker 1: own character. Every every one of those movies in sequels
Speaker 1: since just feels like, oh and here's Avengers chapter twenty two.
Speaker 1: They tried to smush it all into it all feels
Speaker 1: like just another in an ongoing saga, which is fine,
Speaker 1: but I feel like each thing should have its own personality.
Speaker 1: I think what they tried to do was they tried
Speaker 1: they looked which one made the most money, and that
Speaker 1: was iron Man, and they said, when they're their own movies,
Speaker 1: that's fine, but when they're all together, try to make
Speaker 1: them feel like iron Man. That's why why they all
Speaker 1: have that kind of like Robert Downey junior to them,
Speaker 1: and they kind of have this like Pace that's like
Speaker 1: a little too fast, you know. It's just like it's
Speaker 1: like things are just happening a little too fast, and
Speaker 1: like not every actor is like good at that, but
Speaker 1: it feels like because Iron Man was the most successful,
Speaker 1: and maybe they feel like Robert Downey Jr. Is like
Speaker 1: the one that they have to like accommodate um. It
Speaker 1: feels like everything else is trying to be that and
Speaker 1: wouldn't and has been best suited to that because, like
Speaker 1: you're saying, they all are so different. I hope Spider
Speaker 1: Man Homecoming I have. I have the kids cute, the
Speaker 1: kids good playing spider Man. I like the character Spider Man.
Speaker 1: I could like like I see spire Man in it,
Speaker 1: and I'm already annoyed, just want but you give me
Speaker 1: Marissa Tomay and you've got my money. There there you go.
Speaker 1: Marissa told me as Aunt May so sad, but like yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like old ask Aunt May. It's literally Merissa
Speaker 1: Tomay coming and snatched, like what's going on at school?
Speaker 1: Talk to me? Seriously? I'm like what I want to know?
Speaker 1: To go from Rosemary Harris to Sally Field to Marissa Tomay?
Speaker 1: What a crazy next is gonna be? Margot roblution post
Speaker 1: because it's going to be Dakoda Fanning daughter. Oh my god, yo,
Speaker 1: can we talk about how L Fanning eight Dakota Fanning alive? No,
Speaker 1: I think rule number one one of culture Elf Fanning eight,
Speaker 1: Dakoda Fanning alive. I think d It just doesn't want
Speaker 1: to work that much anymore. Who doesn't want to work
Speaker 1: to code? I think she's probably tapped out. She wants
Speaker 1: to like. I saw her on some talk show. She
Speaker 1: was charming. Yeah, you sure it wasn't L. I am
Speaker 1: sure it wasn't L. In fact, so, if if you
Speaker 1: have to take one of them out of the burning building,
Speaker 1: how do you pick? What a weird the one I
Speaker 1: feel I can get most safely? Yeah, exactly, the one
Speaker 1: I'm most certain I could say, Okay, they're both equally
Speaker 1: close to the door. This is such a bond, girls.
Speaker 1: I kick them both down. I run to the next
Speaker 1: I run next door, where Abigail Breslin is drowning, and
Speaker 1: I save her. Okay, I was gonna say, Spencer, Spencer Breslin, No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care for Abigail Breslin. Do you
Speaker 1: know I was watching this. I don't care for her. Um.
Speaker 1: Abigail Breslin is apparently in the Dirty Dancing remake. She's
Speaker 1: forty eight now, and but she's like she does not
Speaker 1: look I'm sorry, but as baby. But it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't And this is no shade to Abigail. This is crack.
Speaker 1: Just physically not right for the part. No, not right
Speaker 1: for the really not right for most things. I think
Speaker 1: Abigail wasn't as a weird actor, like a lovable weirdo.
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't know anyone who act
Speaker 1: or looks are like her. I don't know. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: it's just that I'm a little uneasy with her. She's
Speaker 1: not even she's not even in type. Like you can't
Speaker 1: even put her in a type by the way, you guys,
Speaker 1: um totally. I just don't know where she Since since
Speaker 1: our l A apps, I had this huge journey with
Speaker 1: signing it for Equinox Gym. I'm now at the same
Speaker 1: Equinox Gym as Hot producer Joe. We have not seen
Speaker 1: each other there yet, but it's equinoxtuneboat catch us there.
Speaker 1: I have some guest passes. Who will I pick for
Speaker 1: my guest passes? We'll find out. I won't, Baby, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't chilled eucalyptus towels, sort of mediocre spin classes.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about this. Joe and kills in that showers.
Speaker 1: So get this today. Did a year at Equinox because
Speaker 1: School of Rock paid for it. There go. I also
Speaker 1: had a trainer because I was covering Dewey, which involves
Speaker 1: crazy amounts of stamina. Had a trainer to um, yeah,
Speaker 1: to help me get it. How many times? Just twice?
Speaker 1: Did you get to kiss Sierra? Yes? It was actually her. God,
Speaker 1: it was her the last weekend when she was on.
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice. You got to give her a big
Speaker 1: It was like her third last show was my second show. Wait,
Speaker 1: how is that? How is that? How? How is covering?
Speaker 1: For doing? It? Was the most I still absolutely cannot
Speaker 1: believe that it happened. It's so cool, um in a
Speaker 1: Broadway house. Yeah, I had to learn how to play guitar.
Speaker 1: It was all a thing. But like, I don't think
Speaker 1: of myself as like some singer or anything, you know,
Speaker 1: but you have that fucking stage presence. Well thank you.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like I had worked on it for months
Speaker 1: and months and months, and it was starting to feel like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I'm probably never going to go on this Dewey, which
Speaker 1: is fine, like there's three other covers and well there's
Speaker 1: two other covers and they seem to have it and
Speaker 1: you've just taken care of And then it happened. The
Speaker 1: stage manager texted me and was like, you're going on
Speaker 1: his Dewey on Sunday on a Thursday, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I can do this, and uh yeah. It was like
Speaker 1: being shot out of a cannon. How does that work?
Speaker 1: To prepare as an understudy? Like do you rehearse the
Speaker 1: material while the lead actor is rehearsing it like behind him?
Speaker 1: Or like how what is it? So? Well, I worked
Speaker 1: on the workshop and we were covering for the workshop,
Speaker 1: but like the scripts evolving and the numbers are changing
Speaker 1: and the blocking is changing, so we weren't encouraged to
Speaker 1: watch rehearsals because it was all going to change anyway.
Speaker 1: So for the most part, my work began once the
Speaker 1: Dewey roll was kind of wicked, and that's when basically
Speaker 1: we were opening. So then that's when I started rehearsing
Speaker 1: with the resident director and started like do my Dewey stuff? Um,
Speaker 1: but I knew I was like the last of the
Speaker 1: last Yeah, exactly. Michael Hartney and my mom and aunt
Speaker 1: came to the first one that I did. They bought
Speaker 1: a ticket for the second row. The show starts presentationally.
Speaker 1: It's Dewey's band playing a song. So the curtain rises
Speaker 1: and I'm looking out in the house and I immediately
Speaker 1: see my mom and Aunt Cathy, and they immediately burst
Speaker 1: into tears. Oh my god, Oh my god, just sobbing,
Speaker 1: and it was crazy. My mom had already seen the show,
Speaker 1: but to see me as do he was like crazy crazy.
Speaker 1: And then two weeks later, my brother and sister in
Speaker 1: law came and that was my best friend came from
Speaker 1: Buffalo to see it. And it was and I had
Speaker 1: fixed everything that I royally fucked up the first time
Speaker 1: it was. Were there any were there any big mess up? Like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, yes, they're sure. The funk were like
Speaker 1: drop lines no, um paraphrase, I'm lines sure, But that
Speaker 1: actually doesn't bother me at all. It was musical stuff
Speaker 1: that I was like, Oh my god. Uh so his
Speaker 1: first number is called when I climbed to the top
Speaker 1: of Mount Rock. This is really fucking hard ass crazy
Speaker 1: song that may immediately depletes you of energy for the
Speaker 1: rest of the show and it's first thanks Andrew, um
Speaker 1: and uh i uh saying the first verse in the
Speaker 1: first chorus began and I knew I was just a
Speaker 1: hair ahead, and it was so terrifying, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: this is it, this is this is how I die?
Speaker 1: When when do I give up? When do I give up?
Speaker 1: And literally it was a line and a half long,
Speaker 1: but to me felt like I was thirty years and
Speaker 1: then that like kind of I don't know where what
Speaker 1: kind of mental place that puts you in for the
Speaker 1: rest of the show, but like who knows, Like you're
Speaker 1: so about A verse and a half later, Um, there's
Speaker 1: this like Corey choreographed moment where I jump over a
Speaker 1: guitar case and I'm like putting up dukes and I
Speaker 1: throw myself to the floor and I have a very
Speaker 1: distinct memory of mid air in the jumping over the
Speaker 1: guitar case like putting up dukes, going I would like
Speaker 1: to stop doing this. I don't want to do I
Speaker 1: don't want to do this show, Like I don't want
Speaker 1: to see this show through to the end, which of
Speaker 1: course I must and have to contractually, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this. And then it passed.
Speaker 1: I mean it very quickly passed. I relaxed into it
Speaker 1: and really started having the time of my life. I mean,
Speaker 1: both shows were very special. Oh so then um, then
Speaker 1: the first song with the kids called You're in the Band.
Speaker 1: I've never had a problem in any rehearsal singing this
Speaker 1: song ever, and the adrenaline and the exertion. Um, there
Speaker 1: was a verse at the end where I couldn't get
Speaker 1: the last word of every line out for some reason.
Speaker 1: So it's like the song goes, and with me a
Speaker 1: control love the band as a whole, we will rock,
Speaker 1: it will roll with a hot enussle. And I said,
Speaker 1: and with me a good love the Paniza, with our
Speaker 1: heart and our soul. Because then I started speaking it
Speaker 1: because I was like, what has happened to my mind?
Speaker 1: As the kids were like the kids were like ms, Finn,
Speaker 1: So the kids are they kind of like that's really cool?
Speaker 1: Do you get to go on? Or were they like yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great, Oh my god. They the cutest, sweetest, most excited.
Speaker 1: Everyone was so excited. The whole building was very excited
Speaker 1: for me. I mean it really was like the most supportive, lovely,
Speaker 1: familial group of people in the world. How did you
Speaker 1: get to meet ms Cosgrove Miranda? Oh? I did actually
Speaker 1: Opening Night. Oh cool. She was very sweet, beautiful soul.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Matt's trying to get at. I
Speaker 1: don't know. She was she was really she was lovely,
Speaker 1: she was really nice. We should have her on. Let's
Speaker 1: bring on Miranda. We'll bring on Maranda. I think we're nicas.
Speaker 1: Grove killed it in that movie She's Fears. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that was like you knew she was a star memory
Speaker 1: ho in the Moon like stop stop, stop, good, wow,
Speaker 1: what thank you for that story? Wows right? I love that.
Speaker 1: Then just dropping the lad story just couldn't get them out,
Speaker 1: just could not get him out. Your bodied in my
Speaker 1: voice was just blown out for just those little syllables. Um.
Speaker 1: So that's like, that's a tough one to think about that,
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm so glad that. I'm so
Speaker 1: glad you made it through. I made it through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you made it through. Baby. Um Okay. Whenever I dropped
Speaker 1: a line on site and was like, it's always over. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: that's what That's what I'm saying, Like, I that throws
Speaker 1: me off for the whole fucking thing. That stuff doesn't
Speaker 1: bother me anymore, which is like very lovely. That is
Speaker 1: a blessing. That was a Broadway Tomty baby, because there
Speaker 1: was just so many other things to worry about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that first show, I was like so worried about the guitar.
Speaker 1: It was the first time I've ever been remotely good
Speaker 1: at guitar. Well there you go, like it was great,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean relatively, No, no, I'm sure, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like weird things. I wasn't expecting that. I
Speaker 1: was suddenly, Oh my god, it is a dream. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. What Broadway show would you want to be in? Um? Oh,
Speaker 1: that's so tough. You go first, I don't really know.
Speaker 1: M I guess I would like to do King George Hamilton,
Speaker 1: and I would always love to do a Book of Mormon,
Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, my like basic acid answer his Book
Speaker 1: of Mormon. But oh, I I post what if I
Speaker 1: was like this, gosh, play actually shut up, I'd like
Speaker 1: to play. I did post this, and I kind of
Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of hated myself for posting this,
Speaker 1: but I was like, I want to be sucking Bobby

Speaker 1: posted that. Good. I want to be Bobby Baby. I
Speaker 1: should do that. Well, I'll save it for for the

Speaker 1: in the Park with George. Because we were carrying him
Speaker 1: home and trying to figure out names and finishing the hat,
Speaker 1: weirdly came on my partners. He had never heard that song,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, it's from Sunday in the
Speaker 1: Park with George and it's beautiful and I think this
Speaker 1: is Mandy Patinkin. He's like, this is how do you

Speaker 1: The super Target that just opened up at City Point
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn for having the name super Target but having
Speaker 1: a lackluster produce section, Honey. The thing that distinguishes you
Speaker 1: from a super target, for a super target, from a
Speaker 1: regular target is the fucking produce section. Honey. You are
Speaker 1: not gonna get away with having a pile of oranges
Speaker 1: in the middle of the fucking aisle and call yourself
Speaker 1: a super target and slap that qualifier on your self. Honey.
Speaker 1: City Point, You're busted. You're supposed to have a Catxs
Speaker 1: Deli and a Trader Does and a super Target and
Speaker 1: an Alamo Drafthouse. Right now you only have a lackluster
Speaker 1: super Target and a fine okay Alamo Drafthouse. I've only
Speaker 1: seen one movie there. I was. I was very stone
Speaker 1: and it was Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Speaker 1: with Matt and it was very fun. But also, but
Speaker 1: super Target. You do not get to call yourself a
Speaker 1: super target where you have one floor. The Target Atlantic
Speaker 1: Terminal has two floors, bitch, and it's spacious as hell.
Speaker 1: But it smells like ass so City So City Point
Speaker 1: super Target. At least get your smell down. If you
Speaker 1: suck that up, then there's no so I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: super Target be the real super Target you were meant
Speaker 1: to be in. That's one minute. Okay, Wow, it's a
Speaker 1: Travis That Elmo Drafthouse is lovely. It's lovely. I didn't
Speaker 1: totally chin on it. I know I think that, Um,
Speaker 1: that was actually amazing, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: And it just came they shouldn't call themselves a super
Speaker 1: They should have to earn that absolutely absolutely, all right,
Speaker 1: this is it. So Michael Hartney came in. I think
Speaker 1: he told me that he had two options. You have
Speaker 1: two options, and he's holding both of his options in
Speaker 1: his hand right now, and so Bowen on the counter,
Speaker 1: we're going to choose the same hold on. How do
Speaker 1: we know that he just doesn't have one pick down
Speaker 1: and he's just gonna say that, Okay, Okay, I will
Speaker 1: the choice. You know what, Boone and I are going
Speaker 1: to disagree. So Joe, you pick the hand producer Joe.
Speaker 1: He picks the left right. Here we go. This is
Speaker 1: Michael Hartney's left hand. I don't think so, honey. Time
Speaker 1: starts now. I don't think so, honey. People who come

Speaker 1: motifs to hold an audience's attention. And I worked with
Speaker 1: that motherfucker, so I should, motherfucking No. Ma Wanna is
Speaker 1: a Superman story. She knows where, she learns where she
Speaker 1: came from, She defies her elders, and she has agency me,
Speaker 1: she makes choice has there is no love interest. She
