Speaker 1: Behold. I am Bethelzda, a giant worm like creature that
Speaker 1: lives at the bottom of a muddy hole. And this
Speaker 1: is my podcast on the surface, where I try to
Speaker 1: make sense of the world above with help from human
Speaker 1: experts and my sidekick, a cool teen that fell down
Speaker 1: my whole. Colteene, say something, I forget how to do math?
Speaker 1: All right, we'll work on it, Colteine. Today's topic musical theater.
Speaker 1: What is it? Why is it? Is it dangerous? Hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll find out from our guest musical theater aficionado, Avery
Speaker 1: nuts Bomb. Avery, thank you for being here in the whole.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it is a leisure to be here
Speaker 1: with you both. Thank you for saying that. Yes, I
Speaker 1: just love musical theater and I want to spread it
Speaker 1: around the world and share it here with you today.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, sounds like a disease. I'm excited. Some would say,
Speaker 1: John would say a disease. Some say, oh my god,
Speaker 1: And that is once on this island. Avery. Your voice
Speaker 1: is beautiful. You have a voice of an angel. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much. And your voice is also very unique.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Dressy. You know I I've been
Speaker 1: told I have a certain certain something certain flair in
Speaker 1: my vocal tone anyway, every for for myself and my listeners. Okay,
Speaker 1: in your own words, what would you say musical theater is?
Speaker 1: So that is a loaded question, I will say at first,
Speaker 1: and I will say this, when you have a spirit
Speaker 1: that needs to be expressed, okay, and the only way
Speaker 1: you can express it is not just through words. It
Speaker 1: becomes a song. Okay, I'm familiar. I'm familiar with songs. Yes.
Speaker 1: And then while you're expressing your emotional life through song,
Speaker 1: you're also maybe doing a little tippity tap dance on
Speaker 1: the side, tap dance. That's interesting. Yes, you're maybe doing
Speaker 1: a jazz square and you are conveying a beautiful story
Speaker 1: through the medium of song and dance. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you most of those words, I have no idea what
Speaker 1: they mean is my first time hearing them. But god,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're here so you can figure this out. Okay, Okay, great,
Speaker 1: let's uh should we hop into her? Oh? First off?
Speaker 1: Soho sorry, let me introduce you to my sidekick slash hostage.
Speaker 1: Cool teen. It's a cool teen that fell down my
Speaker 1: whole Yeah, yeah, hi, Avery, we're so we're so happy
Speaker 1: to be visited. Uh, you know, it gets pretty lonely
Speaker 1: down here, but we may do also. But those as
Speaker 1: far as up dancing goes, you know, you do typically
Speaker 1: need feet to do it. But you know when I
Speaker 1: tap on your big gelatinous skin and it kind of
Speaker 1: jiggles in a way, that's tap dance. Okay, right, should
Speaker 1: we've been doing a little tippy tab down here. That's nice? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that. Have you have you ever seen musical
Speaker 1: theater coot? Uh? Maybe you know. I didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: do a lot of arts and culture stuff, and I
Speaker 1: could never audition for the school play because I was
Speaker 1: way too cool for that. I was busy going to
Speaker 1: my chess tournaments. So and chess is a very cool activity,
Speaker 1: yes savory, yes, oh yeah. I definitely think they should
Speaker 1: make a musical out of the Queen's Gambit. So there's
Speaker 1: a chess musical out there, the Queen's Gambit. No idea
Speaker 1: what that is, but it sounds pretty exciting. You know,
Speaker 1: I've known some queen bees, for example, and they've put
Speaker 1: me through a few gambits, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Not quite sure? Right, Well, then we're both confused and
Speaker 1: you know what, it's a great equalizer. You know, why
Speaker 1: don't we Why don't we hop into our first segment? Okay,
Speaker 1: this first segment I'm calling what in the bud is this? Alright?
Speaker 1: So here's how it works. Okay, Avery, I'm gonna present
Speaker 1: you with some words related to a musical theater, Okay,
Speaker 1: and then I'll take a guess at what they mean,
Speaker 1: and then you can correct me if needed. Cool, very cool, absolutely, okay, great,
Speaker 1: here we go. I'm excited. First word, scales Okay, now,
Speaker 1: this one's easy. I think scales are the things that
Speaker 1: have developed on my soft belly due to what I've
Speaker 1: named mud burn. Is that the same thing for human
Speaker 1: musical scales? So scales and musical theater actually have to
Speaker 1: do with the sequence of notes that are basically I'll
Speaker 1: think you a scale right now. I would love that.
Speaker 1: M ah. So it's a sequence of notes in an order,
Speaker 1: usually ascending, sometimes descending. But unfortunately there is no mud involved.
Speaker 1: Unless it's a musical about mud wrestling. Probably there must
Speaker 1: be something out there, see that's a musical I could
Speaker 1: get into. I think little mud wrestling musical. I I
Speaker 1: used to be on the mud wrestling team actually when
Speaker 1: I was when I was cool teen's age, which in
Speaker 1: warm years is like a month old. That was pretty good.
Speaker 1: I miss it, really miss it. But those are there's
Speaker 1: a there's a tear in your in your hole. You know,
Speaker 1: I miss my missed my fellow grubs. You know, I
Speaker 1: miss I missed the feeling of touch. If I'm being honest,
Speaker 1: don't touch me, cool tine. That was an invitation. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: let's go into the second folk a word shoe we Okay,
Speaker 1: So here we've got the opening night. Okay, So opening
Speaker 1: night for me, it's the one night a year that
Speaker 1: I opened and drained my slime pockets. Okay, I gotta
Speaker 1: get those line baggage drained. That's opening night. Is that
Speaker 1: the same thing for musicals? Well, I will say this,
Speaker 1: a lot of musical theater people are very horny, So
Speaker 1: I do think there is a lot of built up tension. Okay, right,
Speaker 1: maybe on the opening night people are sort of releasing
Speaker 1: their slime pockets as well. That's that's a lot of
Speaker 1: if everybody's doing it, definitely. I I would like to say, though,
Speaker 1: of course, opening night is when you've rehearsed for this
Speaker 1: musical you're a performer, You've rehearsed, and now you're putting
Speaker 1: on the show. Now the show is opening, there's an audience,
Speaker 1: and it's the night of all nights to remember. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: let me review. Okay, So musical theater, Musical's right, it's
Speaker 1: people expressing themselves through sean. It's a show. There's a
Speaker 1: show involved. Absolutely everybody's emptying their shliine pockets and it's
Speaker 1: a night you remember. Yes, it's exactly you've you've hit
Speaker 1: the nail that I think you're you're almost ready to
Speaker 1: be in a musical. I mean, talk about a dream
Speaker 1: of mine. I don't know if you know I do
Speaker 1: love to sing, but you know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: anybody really wants to hear it. Oh I want to
Speaker 1: hear it. Okay, Well, I feel put on the spot.
Speaker 1: Maybe later we a little nervous. Let's just keep going
Speaker 1: with this. Let's keep going with this. Brop. Okay, we
Speaker 1: got um oh, we got Mattenee. I'm gonna say this
Speaker 1: is like a really fancy matt Yes, uh so Mattenee.
Speaker 1: So there's shows at night. Normally shows are at night
Speaker 1: on on the Great Broadway. Wow, nighttime over here, we
Speaker 1: do nothing because it's pitch black. So that's good to know.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, you know, I could maybe get one of
Speaker 1: my tech friends to bring you a spotlight or two
Speaker 1: to help out. That would be amazing. I'll see what
Speaker 1: I can do. Hold on, let me just write that down.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold you to that. Maybe I won't let
Speaker 1: you leave till you bring it, you know. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's funny. But every crazy Yeah okay, um but
Speaker 1: basically it's a show usually at two or three in
Speaker 1: the afternoon. Okay, great, that makes it's sort of like
Speaker 1: um my bathing schedule. You know. It's like once a
Speaker 1: week whenever it rains. Sometimes it's at nights, sometimes it's
Speaker 1: in a day. You know. Either way, I don't get
Speaker 1: very clean. Oh I say, that's that's that's what the
Speaker 1: smell is. Yeah, oh yeah, sorry if you didn't realize
Speaker 1: that's the mud. It's a mixture of you know what.
Speaker 1: You don't want to know what's in it. It's better
Speaker 1: if you don't know. All right, let's keep going with
Speaker 1: those folks up all right here we go, okay, okay, understudy.
Speaker 1: I think that's what cool team has to do when
Speaker 1: we drained my slime buckets. The cool Tine has to
Speaker 1: study my under if you will, Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure that nothing's wrong with it, no
Speaker 1: growth snow, you know, additional parasites, etcetera. Sort of like
Speaker 1: a summer job for Cootine. Yeah, but for no money
Speaker 1: and for the foreseeable future. That's true. Wow, Wow, that
Speaker 1: is a fate of sorts that I personally am excited
Speaker 1: to hear about. Do you think do you think my
Speaker 1: relationship with Cootine could be used for musical theater? Oh?
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. It's it reminds me of of Young Frankenstein
Speaker 1: the musical okay, which is based on the movie Young Frankenstein.
Speaker 1: No idea. Great, you've got this uh mad scientist who
Speaker 1: I think you? You sort of reminded me of a
Speaker 1: little bit. And then Coultine, you would be sort of
Speaker 1: like Igor, who is the sort of henchman. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: see it. I haven't been able to stand up straight
Speaker 1: since I fell down this hole, so I do see
Speaker 1: myself playing that role. That's true. You gotta kind of
Speaker 1: crouch down in case anybody throws anything in here. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta be in running position. Short of all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Coutine almost gotta taken
Speaker 1: out by an old swing set earlier today, I know.
Speaker 1: And the saddest thing is I couldn't put it back together,
Speaker 1: so it's just more sticks for Bethel's they which after
Speaker 1: players stick games. Wow? Um well what was the word again? Oh? Sorry,
Speaker 1: the word was understudy? Yes, understudy? Um, so, understudy is
Speaker 1: basically where there's a lead or not, there are characters.
Speaker 1: There are characters in a musical, yes, go on, and
Speaker 1: basically people sometimes cover those roles just in case the
Speaker 1: actor who's performing those roles get sick, go on vacation. Okay,
Speaker 1: we get sick a lot down here, so that would
Speaker 1: make sense. Oh absolutely, could you could both do with
Speaker 1: some good understudies? Cool teen? I mean if another cool
Speaker 1: teen falls down here or even are not cool teen,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they could help you pick up some
Speaker 1: of the slack. Yeah yeah, maybe even they could fully
Speaker 1: replace me and I could return to me. I think,
Speaker 1: I think probably until you get me out of here,
Speaker 1: you're gonna go anywhere my friends ship. Yes, and normally
Speaker 1: the people return to the rules, yes, yes, yes, after
Speaker 1: the understudy goes on. So even if you got a
Speaker 1: day off, you'd still be down here. Okay, alright, I
Speaker 1: like this out of that, Let's do the next book
Speaker 1: a world. Okay, here we go. This is Oh, this
Speaker 1: is a curtain call. A curtain call, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this is like a really shifty secretive
Speaker 1: phone call that happens behind a curtain. Cool team makes
Speaker 1: a bunch of curtain calls on their on their cell
Speaker 1: phone whenever they've got service, and minus the curtain, they
Speaker 1: sort of just faced the wall and can kind of
Speaker 1: hear everything they're saying. But is that a curtain call? Well,
Speaker 1: let me see if I can put this into something
Speaker 1: that makes a little bit more sense for you. Oh, perfect,
Speaker 1: because I am a worm. Yes, and and you know
Speaker 1: that I'm going to use you know, whole language. Okay,
Speaker 1: So basically, you know the people in the show, they've
Speaker 1: been doing their parts, so they've been going through the underground.
Speaker 1: They've really been going through it. I used to go
Speaker 1: through the underground when I was small enough to still
Speaker 1: break the surface, but not anymore. Well, basically, they do
Speaker 1: end up breaking the surface, and they end up coming
Speaker 1: to the other side of the story. That is the
Speaker 1: show interesting and now that they've reached the sunlight. Right,
Speaker 1: they get accolades and people are waiting on the other
Speaker 1: side to cheer them on. Great. I have to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, I think that took away some of
Speaker 1: my understanding. I feel slightly dumber about musical theater. But
Speaker 1: you know what, it's not you. It's not you. It's
Speaker 1: definitely me. You know, you're the expert. I'm the learner.
Speaker 1: It's a teaching moment. But okay, I'll get it. Let's
Speaker 1: still understanding communication styles of course. Yeah, okay, so this one,
Speaker 1: this one is a leading role. So I'm gonna guess.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that's the first of many segments on
Speaker 1: your Body, for example, have thirty two. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with the role that you lead with uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a little close. You know, if if if
Speaker 1: the if the show is a body of people, then
Speaker 1: the person who's really the protagonist or the person who
Speaker 1: um maybe sings the most, says the most. We follow
Speaker 1: that character the most. You know, they're doing most of
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting of the show. So it is the
Speaker 1: role of the person to lead the rest of the body.
Speaker 1: Avery they say, if you can't do teach and let
Speaker 1: me tell you, based on your singing, you can do,
Speaker 1: my friend, you can do by that, I mean, don't teach.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I'm just skidding with you. Avery, you
Speaker 1: get it. Contine, do you have any musical theater related
Speaker 1: vocab you want to patch by Avery? Yeah, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure I know what this one is. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: it's gonna you know, when a woman's body gets the
Speaker 1: eggs ready. But a standing ovation, Oh yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 1: a standing ovation in a musical theater is basically when
Speaker 1: you know someone has done something so miraculous that the
Speaker 1: audience is getting up on their feet and clapping and
Speaker 1: giving that person the most amazing accolades, and it's like
Speaker 1: a magical moment. So it's, you know, magical moment, not
Speaker 1: far off from what you know. Let me ask, Let
Speaker 1: me ask for someone like me or doesn't have hands,
Speaker 1: what would be appropriate for me to do if I were,
Speaker 1: you know, in the in the theater. And I love
Speaker 1: what I shall. Well, I'm really loving the way that
Speaker 1: your tail sort of curves. And I really think, sorry,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't is that overstepping to comment on
Speaker 1: your physical form? No, thank you? I just I actually
Speaker 1: might really love your hair. I just want to put
Speaker 1: that out there. Thank you so much. Cooteene. Look away,
Speaker 1: I'm looking away. I'm looking away, all right, now you
Speaker 1: can look back, look back, because I need you to
Speaker 1: understand and help with the clapping, because basically I would say,
Speaker 1: move your tail up and down and then slap the
Speaker 1: rest of your big body. Okay, so kind of like dish. Yes, oh,
Speaker 1: can you just you're just getting a little bit of
Speaker 1: slot that comes from the territory, right, But that's it,
Speaker 1: that's it. Anything for the sake of theater. Absolutely all right, Coolteene,
Speaker 1: you got any other vocab you want to go over? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I once met a gruff woman named Peg and she
Speaker 1: said she was a stage manager. So I'm assuming that
Speaker 1: means lesbian. That's a good question. Yeah, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: you're probably uh not wrong. Um no, um. Peg is
Speaker 1: a dear friend of mine. You know Peg, I know Peg,
Speaker 1: I know Peg. She's actually she's done Lion King, she's
Speaker 1: done Wicked, she's done a Lad and she's really doing
Speaker 1: the Disney circuit right now. And uh, she's pretty badass.
Speaker 1: Stage managers are the glue that hold together the whole
Speaker 1: entire show, okay, or the slime that holds my tail
Speaker 1: in the muddy floor together. Yeah, yes, the gelatinous group,
Speaker 1: if you will, I love it. Did I answer your
Speaker 1: question anymore? Yeah? Okay. This is a combination of my
Speaker 1: uncle and aunt's names Macbeth, mac and Beth. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: my uncle and my aunt serendipitous because Macbeth. It's an incredible,
Speaker 1: incredible play written by, of course, the one and only Shakespeare,
Speaker 1: William Shakespeare him sound so not not a musical, not
Speaker 1: a musical, but see it. But how dare you bring
Speaker 1: up anything that is not cool? Team? We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about this later, but go ahead. I didn't know
Speaker 1: that was the whole we're gonna talk about. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about Eric. I'm sorry, all right, go ahead, Avery. Well,
Speaker 1: I I do think there really should be a musical
Speaker 1: version of every Shakespeare play. Unfortunately, I don't think there
Speaker 1: is a Macbeth one. Well, hey, I mean, if we
Speaker 1: get you and Peg and me and cool teen together,
Speaker 1: I don't see where we couldn't make a all musicals
Speaker 1: just saying all right, well, let me whip something up.
Speaker 1: I can get a few sheet music, grab that spotlight
Speaker 1: my friend. All right, but sure you were saying, uh no, basically, uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty cool that your aunt and uncle are
Speaker 1: Mac Andbeth. I would I would also say be careful
Speaker 1: because it is cursed. It's cursed, it's cursed. Then we
Speaker 1: don't say that. Oh my god, the podcast just gonna fail.
Speaker 1: I'm ruined. Oh gosh. Anyone who's listening, Um, just know
Speaker 1: that it's we're just talking about the play and we
Speaker 1: haven't performed it. Okay, so you think we're in the clear.
Speaker 1: We're in the clear. All right, Thank worm, Thank worm.
Speaker 1: We're in the clear. We say thank worm because you
Speaker 1: know worms don't famously don't have a god. So thank worm. Alright.
Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, I'll be honest, I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm only halfway there. But that's all right, because we're
Speaker 1: gonna pop into our next segment that I'm calling musical theater.
Speaker 1: Musical theater. Okay, So Avery, here's how it works. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a series of scenarios okay, submitted
Speaker 1: by myself Quotine in our listeners, and we want you
Speaker 1: to say whether they are or are not musical theater. Cool,
Speaker 1: very cool, Alright, let's get this going. Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Oh yeah, I love that voice. Alright, first, hup,
Speaker 1: we got fiddler on the roof musical theater or not
Speaker 1: musical theory at musical theater. Okay, absolutely great, checking that off.
Speaker 1: All right, let's try this next one. A fiddler on
Speaker 1: a roof musical theater. Musical theater really depends, really depends
Speaker 1: on what on whether or not there is in fact
Speaker 1: a spotlight on this fiddler on this roof. Okay, So
Speaker 1: that's what distinguishes the musical theater fiddlers from the regular fiddlers,
Speaker 1: because regular fiddlers, they're just doing it for ships and giggles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't fucking swear on my show. Okay, don't swear on
Speaker 1: my goddamn show. That's actually a game I like to
Speaker 1: play when I hear a little kind of skirting noises
Speaker 1: from over in the corner. I tried to guess whether
Speaker 1: Bethelsa's having the ships or the giggles. That was pretty good,
Speaker 1: Gold you know, like that one. Thank you, Just so
Speaker 1: you know it's the shift. I rarely giggle unless we're
Speaker 1: recording the podcast. Yeah, alright, let's let's go to this
Speaker 1: next scenario already. All right, Okay, here we go, a
Speaker 1: couple arguing in public musical theater or not musical theater.
Speaker 1: If we're in tic tic boom, the musical musical theater.
Speaker 1: If we're not tic tic booming, if we're not tictic booming,
Speaker 1: not musical theater, not musical theater. Okay, great, alright, let's
Speaker 1: go to this next one. We got when you put
Speaker 1: a show on for your parents in your living room
Speaker 1: musical theater, musical theater, musical theater. Wow, okay, you got
Speaker 1: it right away. I had to jump in. Is just
Speaker 1: something you've done, yes, when I was younger. Actually, I
Speaker 1: used to stop Thanksgiving um every year and put on
Speaker 1: a combination of any musical theater songs we wanted to
Speaker 1: put on, normally from Wicked and normally the song what
Speaker 1: is this feeling? Okay, I'm writing it down. I got
Speaker 1: to write my mouth. Go ahead. Oh no, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I also write it down for why isn't it cool?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I can do it? Thank you
Speaker 1: very much? Okay, it's pretty good. I'm pretty good in
Speaker 1: my mouth. I can't wait to hear that voice. Then,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, maybe I'm nervous alright, I don't make me sing. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll be here with you, so don't even worry about it,
Speaker 1: all right, I don't think about it. I don't think
Speaker 1: about it. Yes, but I used to put on show
Speaker 1: as musical theater. Let me ask, if you want to
Speaker 1: write your own musical, what would it be called? That
Speaker 1: is a great question, thank you. I'm tried my best.
Speaker 1: I would have to say the title the musical would
Speaker 1: be called Sparkly and Pink. The musical sparkling pink. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes I get sparkly and pink when the light hits
Speaker 1: me just right, you know, I start a shimmer. It's
Speaker 1: I look beautiful for about five seconds, and then it's
Speaker 1: you know, back to worm. I'll have to come by
Speaker 1: and then see that one time. Thank you. But what
Speaker 1: would it be about sparkling pink? Um? I think it
Speaker 1: would be uh an autobiographical uh story of my life
Speaker 1: and how I've come into my own my own power
Speaker 1: and uh. It would be um embracing femininity and also
Speaker 1: understanding femininity in the context of stereotypes in the world. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm just a worm. But from where I'm squiggling, that
Speaker 1: sounds like a great show. Thank you so much, i'd
Speaker 1: get you free tickets. Of course. Well that'd be great.
Speaker 1: You know, I can't escape the whole at the moment,
Speaker 1: but once I do, you know, i'd be front row
Speaker 1: ruining the view for everybody. Absolutely. All right, let's go.
Speaker 1: Let let's go this next scenario. Let's see a really
Speaker 1: crunchy leaf. Musical theater or not musical theater. I have
Speaker 1: to tell you why I'm stumped on this one. I
Speaker 1: really think, you know, at first, it's not musical theater, okay,
Speaker 1: but then you know, if you start to see the
Speaker 1: world in a sort of musical sort of way, the
Speaker 1: crunch of a leaf could really be the percussion that
Speaker 1: was needed for the day, an instrument of shorts, an
Speaker 1: instrument um, sort of that extra flavor. You know, we
Speaker 1: could probably put together. It's called an orchestra, right when
Speaker 1: people play look at you? Yeah there, you know, I try.
Speaker 1: I try. So maybe we can make an orchestra out
Speaker 1: of all the garbage ship that's been thrown down here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we got crunchy leaves, right, yeah, we got some.
Speaker 1: We got a cool whip container. I bet when you
Speaker 1: hit this is a nice noise. She ye oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty nice. So yeah, I think I've been leaning
Speaker 1: on what I think isn't half eaten hot pocket. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my half eaten hot pocket. Sorry, I left it
Speaker 1: on the chair. The chair made out of mud. Yes,
Speaker 1: but that could be an instrument. It coold, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel squishy sound. And when the mud leaks on
Speaker 1: our collection of microwaves, it goes Oh yeah, I almost
Speaker 1: forgot about our collection of microwaves. Yeah, that ding would
Speaker 1: make for a good good orchestra section, the ding section.
Speaker 1: I like that. Alright, let's see Okay, I gotta the
Speaker 1: orchestra is down in a pit. Well, I feel seen.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. I feel seen. Great, So
Speaker 1: I could just be in the pit when I come
Speaker 1: to your show. Oh my gosh, you know, I'm we'd
Speaker 1: love to get you on. Maybe we can get you
Speaker 1: on that cool webcam. I would love that. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start practicing. Alright, Okay, so I got I got two
Speaker 1: more all let's see. Um Okay, a fart that started
Speaker 1: a low pitch, it ends on a high note. Musical theater.
Speaker 1: I'm not musical theater. Musical theater. Great, you're that one
Speaker 1: seemed obvious. I'll just move right along. Here's my last one. Okay,
Speaker 1: when a group of children come to the edge of
Speaker 1: your whole and sing this song, don't go down into
Speaker 1: that whole filled with mud and bugs and fowls. Don't
Speaker 1: go down into that whole. There's a big, disgusting woman
Speaker 1: worm down there. Musical theater or not musical theater. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, the lyrics are a little bit far fetched. Um,
Speaker 1: but musical theater. You know what I told him the
Speaker 1: same thing. I said, the tunes pretty good. You gotta
Speaker 1: work on the lyrics. It's just it's obvious, right it is.
Speaker 1: Thank you for saying that. But musical theater. Musical theater. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: Well that's all I got. Coutine. You've got any scenarios, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, unless they camp when everybody sings, I hope

Speaker 1: just think about leaving. I did go to theater camp,
Speaker 1: and I think about leaving this theater camp. Cotine, you
Speaker 1: ran away from camp. That's how you fell in the whole. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: tell us about theater camp. Well, um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think about how we practically French kissed at the end
Speaker 1: of camp after doing very much. What you said is
Speaker 1: the French is a French kiss when you kiss with
Speaker 1: a little mustache on. Uh, that's that's gonna be part
Speaker 1: of it. Okay, great, especially if you're kissing Pierre Anitatomus
Speaker 1: who was the French camper? All right he was? Um,
Speaker 1: but yes, musical theater absolutely great. What else you got, Cotine? Uh?
Speaker 1: What about rebooting some intellectual property from the Marvel Cinematic
Speaker 1: universe in a really high value production that ends in
Speaker 1: the deaths of multiple people? Is that musical theater? What
Speaker 1: the fun? Did you just say? Yeah? What? I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: Can you say it one more time? The whole thing? No?
Speaker 1: Thank Cotine? What about no do it? What about when
Speaker 1: you reboot intellectual property from the Marvel Cinematic universe in
Speaker 1: a really kind intensity production that ends in the deaths
Speaker 1: and injuries of multiple people? Is that musical theater, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to say, um, unfortunately, yes, that is musical theater. Uh.

Speaker 1: fifties is that musical theater? Wow? Um, this is above
Speaker 1: my slimy head. Go ahead, avery, musical theater. Wow theater.
Speaker 1: That also makes me think of there's a musical called
Speaker 1: bugsy Malone, and that is twenties gangsters who shoot people,
Speaker 1: but instead of shooting people with bullets, they shoot people
Speaker 1: with pie. Well, so here's what I'm Here's what I'm
Speaker 1: kind of getting about musical theater is that, as long
Speaker 1: as it's got a musical element, pretty much anything can
Speaker 1: be theater. Isn't that beautiful? That is so beautiful? Interesting? Interesting,
Speaker 1: you know I'm doing Maybe, you know, maybe I can
Speaker 1: have a show about a big worm that lives in
Speaker 1: a hole in a cool teen that they have a
Speaker 1: love hit relationship with. Yes, the advent terms of starting
Speaker 1: a podcast. Honestly, that's not so different from the musical
Speaker 1: I I said, I wanted to write. That's true. You know,
Speaker 1: you're coming into your power, coming into that power. I
Speaker 1: don't know what that means, but I like to out
Speaker 1: of it. You got any you got any more scenario?

Speaker 1: a group of children comes to the edge of the
Speaker 1: hole and says, where are you? Where are you? Never mind?
Speaker 1: We don't care God, the kids just come to the
Speaker 1: hole and sing. It's like, I don't know who asked
Speaker 1: him to. Yeah, but that group they have talent because

Speaker 1: squares while they were doing that. Oh wow, cool teen.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're they're looking for you again, Maybe they maybe
Speaker 1: they re up to the search. Maybe there's been uh
Speaker 1: maybe one of our previous guests, you know, started a
Speaker 1: little rumor that I was still a live down here,
Speaker 1: and it gave some people hope, and they're finally gonna
Speaker 1: come find me and escape me out of here. I
Speaker 1: certainly hope not. I certainly hope not because I don't
