But the first off, 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.920 we went to a diner, which I'll tell you about. 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.720 Uh at some point we had uh just uh. I 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.800 went with my wife and two of my daughters. One 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.760 of my daughters wasn't feeling well, and then the four 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.000 of us went to see the Broadway show rent but 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.320 very far off Broadway, and I will talk to you 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:54.800 about that. 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.600 But over I had a very nice father, and the 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.320 actors afford to pay their rent. I'll go bull. How 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:01.280 far off was it? 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:02.960 Uh? 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.880 Paper Mill Playhouse in Milbourne, New Jersey. It's very famously Yeah, 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.120 they have I would say, almost normally almost Broadway level 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.760 quality shows. Yeah, and we go there. We go there 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.000 every once in a while. 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.200 I will say a couple of things about this performance, 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:21.400 if I might. 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.000 Might interrupt you for a minute. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.919 Remember a couple of weeks ago I had said to 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.560 you at the Taylor Swift show. When somebody's singing badly, 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.040 you say, oh, hey, who sings that song? 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:31.400 And they tell you who it is? You go good, 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:32.920 Let's keep it that way, right, Yeah. 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.320 And you and we were complaining about people in the 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.680 audience at the Tailor Swift show was singing and they 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.919 couldn't sing and they were screeching, and it was a 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:41.080 little bit much at some point. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.520 Yes, Now, when you go to a. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.200 Broadway show, have you been you've been to Broadway shows. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:46.120 I know you've been to one we want to talk 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.200 about later because it looked amazing. But when you go 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.799 to Broadway shows now, some of the theaters will say 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.359 to you, hey, you know you may not have been 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.480 here in many years because of COVID, and welcome back 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.840 to Broadway. We're happy to have you. But if we 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:01.799 can just go over some ground rules in case you've 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.720 forgotten how to behave in a Broadway theater. They usually 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.680 do that you can't stand up, you can't yell, you 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.720 can't you can't shout, you got to turn your phone off, right, 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.440 all those rules? Right, Well, I will say to you, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:15.320 they don't. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.840 Do that at the paper Mill Playhouse because it's not Broadway, 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.239 and I guess they're not used to that. They usually 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.320 give some speech about something. If you think about it, 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.040 do they really have to remind people? I mean, these 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.880 are basic human behaviors. You would think so. They do 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.200 tell you to turn your phone off, which is very nice. Okay, 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:33.880 but they don't tell you is that it's not the 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.000 Rocky Horror Picture Show. You're not supposed to cheer and 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.880 clap and sing and woot woot and hoop hoop and 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.880 and and whip it up for the for the show. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:47.000 You could clap, but you're not supposed to like scream 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.000 along with the people on the stage. Gotta be honest, 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.440 I don't think they need to tell you that. I 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.960 think that's understood. Oh no, because we went to see Rent, 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.640 and when there was clapping or cheering, there were four 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:03.320 or five girls to my left who were going, whooooooo. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:04.160 You go. 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.400 Yeah. 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.880 I got the impression that they were friends with the 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:10.760 people in the show. 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.160 Yeah, you scare you've never been. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.400 But when you go to like a dance competition or 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.320 a gymnastics competition for kids like I have, yeah, you know, 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.200 when you're when your friends are performing right there or your. 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.360 School, you cheer for that. You cheer extra loudly. Yeah 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.600 I do. Yeah, because I know when you go see 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.360 a play that's not in a high school auditorium, you 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.479 are not supposed to cheer and whoop woop, woop boop 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.560 boo boom. Well, yeah, the woo woods don't really bother 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.120 me so much. I thought. I thought that they were 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.760 getting out of the chairs and being disrespectful of talking 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.280 back or reciting lines from the show. That's what I thought. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.039 The kind of to me, that's bad behavior. 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.080 So singing along, but again I'm not I'm not trying 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.280 to be like, get off the guy. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.320 You can sing along in a show. But the screaming 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.760 and the woo was not They wasn't even time right. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.320 It was very distracting. But one of the things, and 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.520 you know this as a radio guy, scary. You got 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.159 to check your levels right when we do. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.520 We used to do the morning show together when when 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.760 you would run the board or Elvis would run the board. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.200 He's playing music under himself. Music's got to be a 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.080 certain level, right of course. Right, If it's too low, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.520 you don't hear it, if it's too loud, you don't 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:18.120 hear him. 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:18.920 Exactly. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.279 Well, the entire show, the music was at a nine 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.880 and the microphones were an eight, so you could barely 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.800 hear what they were saying. They were drowning, they were 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.960 fighting each other, right, they were drowning out. And then 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.680 when multiple people sang it was like, no idea, what. 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.560 Okay, Brody, I don't know if you looked up at 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.320 the science but they said paper Mill Playhouse. That didn't 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.040 say Broadway. I mean, what do you expect one percent? Right? 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.720 But here's the thing I don't want to expect. I 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.000 love the paper Mill Playhouse. Ye want to do? They're 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.560 operating on a different level a Shoe Streets budget, first 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.640 of all. But I never had this problem before. I'm 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.359 just saying that. At the Rent show I went to, 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.840 the music was like boom, and the microphones are like boom. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.520 Even your eleven point two million dollar sound system could 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.800 not have helped the situation. I went to go see 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.359 an off Broadway show last week. Did I tell you 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.919 about the rock and roll Man? No, but it's on 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.200 my list of things to say. It's about nineteen fifties DJ. 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.200 Yeah, there's a DJ from the He basically coined the 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.000 term rock and roll. His name is Alan Freed. Yeah. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.120 He was from Cleveland, but he came to New York 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.520 and he was on all the AM top forty radio stations. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.720 He was one of the subjects of American graffiti. I 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.680 believe ten ten wins and WABC AM. So anyway, he 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:38.640 basically he brought He also brought black acts and white 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.440 acts together on stage. He was the first one to 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.640 really do it and take it around the country on tour. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.760 The man changed, he literally changed. And he dared to 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:54.640 play black artists, rick rhythmic artists and white artists like 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.679 Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly on his radio show 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.039 at night, and he would mix them together. But you know, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.520 there's always these conspiracies that you know, even though first 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.720 of all he was so powerful he was the programmer 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.880 of the radio station. He chose his own music. He 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.880 was a music consultant to the record labels, which is 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.320 illegal because that's payola where you're getting, you know, that's 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.320 where the pain came from. Yes, and then he was 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.680 also the concert promoter. So the guy was like on 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.960 the take, and he had he had way too much power. Unfortunately, 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.400 there was no checks and balances take spoiler alert. He 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.880 took a lot of money to play records. Well he did. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.480 But the thing is the government got him for that. 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.880 But they he would tell you, as he claimed till 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.120 the very end, that they just wanted him out of 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.960 the business because it was a conspiracy, conspiracy that they 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.160 didn't want him on the radio mixing as to good 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.720 desegregating the audience. He wanted to the audience. They say 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.800 at that time in the fifties, the government allegedly wanted, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.440 you know, you know, the separation, the segregation of music 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.520 and dance, you know. And he had a TV show. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.120 He was the original Dick Clark American Bandstand on ABC 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:16.880 and on television. He brought Frankie Lymon and the teenagers 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.400 on a rhythmic black Antools fall in Love? Why do 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.400 Fools Fall? They were performing it on of Love, I 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.440 think on his TV show. They were performing it and 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.680 then Frankie Lyman grabbed a woman from the audience or 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:33.319 whoever it was a white woman, a white woman, oh sorry, 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.920 and kissed her on camera, and then they cut to 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.240 commercial because like, oh my god, we can't have an 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.800 interracial kiss. What's going on. It's nineteen fifty seven, whatever 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.400 it is. Well, guess what. Dick Clark took over after 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.080 that and called it. They renamed it American Bandstand and 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.080 they went back to the Vanilla Lily White show that 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.640 it was. I'll tell you Rock and roll man if 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:54.839 you have a chance, if you're in New York to 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.760 see it, because it's well, I'm you know, I'm invested 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.640 in it because I'm a radio man. But no, it's 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:02.439 on my list. 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.600 In fact, as soon as it was announced, my wife 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:05.560 texted me from working. 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.040 She said, we gotta go see the show. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:07.319 I know you go. 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:08.000 Don't want to see it? 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.679 I'm I know Alan Freed very well. I just I 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.200 love I love when famous people claim conspiracy when they're 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:16.800 just guilty, and then. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.079 The people on out to get him. He was there 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.160 were people though, around surrounding and change the fact that 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.280 you're a criminal just because there are people who don't 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.560 like you. He claims he was never on the tep you. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.319 He claimed he was a music consultant for these record 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.280 labels for artists and so that's how he got by it. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.600 But yeah, anyway, yeah, it's a good show. Though. Now, 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:42.199 while we're talking about Broadway, why don't you please explain 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.480 to me, Oh, here's what I saw on your social media. 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.760 You went to a show last night or night before, 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.920 whenever it was, it was last night, and it looked 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.720 like you were in the old was it Studio fifty four? 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.640 What was the club that used to have like all 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.000 the balconies on the sides the Palladium, the Palladium. Yeah, 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.680 it looked like the Palladium. So I said, wait a minute, 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:03.920 that doesn't look right. You said you were going to 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.920 a Broadway show. I was, but it's a it's a 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:07.600 it's a play. Whatever you were. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.800 We had a center centerisle like a dance floor, and 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.400 then like balconies on both sides, and it looked nothing 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.120 like a Broadway show theater and it was like laser 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.760 lights and neon and so what the hell did you 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:19.840 go see a circus? 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.240 Well again, another show you should see is called Here 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:28.960 Lies Love and it's basically okay. So so when you go, 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.760 it's an old, old, old Broadway theater, no doubt. But 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.800 what they did was they shelled it out and they 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.280 they and they made a theater within a theater. So 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.160 when you were on when you go into this theater, 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:47.080 you're walking into that that that club like atmosphere with 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.400 laser lights and everything. Their seats off the floor. But 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.200 they didn't, they didn't. They were behind these walls so 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:52.600 that they. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.880 Were like their Instagram actually says, we took these the 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:57.560 seats off. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.240 The middle of the floor. Oh yeah, yeah, to create 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.439 the aisle. The floor seats are all the orchestra is 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.719 all gone. I don't know what the hell they did 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.320 with them. Yeah, so it's now just a floor and 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.960 they have these Broadway and they have these these stage 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.680 the stage which actually moves. So it's the music of 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.520 David Byrne from Talking Heads and Fat Boys Slim. They 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.800 did the music together and they just created this immersive, 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:27.440 immersive show where the actors are on stage, they're in 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.240 the crowd, they're up in the rafters, they're off to 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.160 the sides, and they're doing the show all around you. 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.440 It's three sixty and for the people on the floor, 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.840 the added bonus of standing room only, you move with 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.319 the stage. So all of a sudden, at certain points, 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.959 the stage is rotating, the catwalk is rotating. New catwalks 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.360 are forming, and you're on the catwalk. No, I was 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.360 standing beside it. And what I'm saying is you know 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.640 that you know that theos for the catwalk, you know, 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.840 the people with the glow sticks with the plane, they 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.160 the plane globsticklo. So they're leading you, Hey, go this 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.800 way because the stage is moving, So you're walking and 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.480 being corralled like cattle all around for the entire two hours. 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.520 What a great show, And basically it was about a 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.360 topic I never knew, the life of Emelda Marcos, the 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.120 first lady from the Philippines who went from poverty to 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.480 first lady and then forgot about her country, left it 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.959 in shambles while she was outliving the good life in 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.959 New York and Paris and visiting everywhere. Don't you remember, 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:35.400 Meldon Marcos. The closet of shoes, closet shoes, Yeah, thousands 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.480 of shoes that she owned. Yeah. So, anyway, this woman now, 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.880 so she then was her it was her fall, It 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.760 was her rise to power, then her fall, and then 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.800 she had to flee the country in the eighties. Do 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:49.040 you know she's still alive. She's ninety three years old. Okay, 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.920 was she there? I said that. I said to my girlfriend, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.520 I said, you think Emelda's going to come and see 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:00.480 the show? A show that pretty much disgraces her and Moxer. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.080 But how crazy would it be good to like show 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.360 up at that thing at ninety three years old to 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.720 see a show that pretty much makes you the villain? 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.400 All right, Well, I'm gonna uh, I'll go see it. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.480 Just get me tickets. Thanks appreciate it. Those are two 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.200 great shows to see if you're in New York City. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.880 I want to see the Thanksgiving Show. The hell is that? 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:21.880 Look it up? 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.080 I think it's the Thanksgiving Day Show or Thanksgiving Day. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.520 It's a comedy that makes fun of Thanksgiving. 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.319 Okay, fair enough? And yeah, there's one about there's those 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.199 about one about the making of Jaws. Oh yeah, the 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.880 shark is broken. The shark is broken. I want to 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.400 see that one too. This is one of the greatest 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.400 movies of all time. Had a robotic shark. Yeah, but 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.080 the shark was broken most of the movie, so you 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.959 don't see the shark until the very end of the film, 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.240 mostly because it didn't work. Now, how do they get 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.880 a pack? How do they get a play out of that? 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:51.440 Like? 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:52.680 How do they get entire. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.440 Because it's the story of so Steven Spielberg had to 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.320 rewrite the script for Jaws, and it came out more 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.160 scary because you don't see the shark, but you see 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.920 things that make you think of the shark, and it's 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.840 more terrifying that you're like, is it gonna come up? 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:07.160 Is it? 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.079 And it ended up a more scary movie because you 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.480 don't see the shark than what he had anticipated what 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.000 he wanted to do, so is about it worked out 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.840 very well, but in his original screenplay was much more 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.840 shark and the water, and the sea water kept rusting 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.280 the motor and the parts so that it didn't. 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.000 Work most of the time. That's crazy. Jaws one of 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.080 the greatest films of all time. Well, all I'll say 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.560 that on that is Broadway is roaring back. There's so 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.360 many shows to see, and I think that this was 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.640 like the on your market set go out of COVID. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.880 So now everything's opening and there's so much going on. 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.840 So if you're in New York City, Times Square, whatever, 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.760 go there, go to the Broadway, go to the theater district, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.760 and you know you can get tickets to the last 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.480 minute to these shows. This is not an ad, by 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.760 the way, but you can go last minute and probably 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:59.120 get into something for a very good price. Are you 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:05.520 saying that you are it's not a sponsor. Not a sponsor, Okay, okay, because. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.080 I would hate to think that you're promoting something that 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:08.080 you were a sponsor for. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.040 No, you're gonna have to make it hit the gin. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.200 Would I ever do that you would not this time. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.120 The Boys podcast. 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:16.640 We will be right back. 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.400 Man, when did we become such Broadway buffs? 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.400 I let me tell you something this past year, having 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.240 not working where I can go out to Broadway shows 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:26.680 all the time. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.880 I've talked about this. My wife and I go all 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:29.240 the time. 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.760 So this year we watched the Tonys and we saw 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.320 almost every nominated play and almost everyone we saw they 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:37.080 won for something. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.800 Yeah, let me ask you this, speaking of not working 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:44.800 first close to a year. Yeah, what's your take on life? 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:49.320 I mean, I live, Okay, if I'm being honest, I 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:53.240 don't know any other life than getting up at four 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:58.840 o'clock in the morning, working mornings, not understanding what traffic, 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.440 commuting traffic is like, and then and then going to 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.600 bed early and every night to school night unless it's 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.840 the weekend, of course, because I get my partying in, 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.720 but not like you know. So, I guess my question 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:16.080 to you is, because I've never known that you hadn't 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.560 known that for a long time. How do things change now? 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.000 And what are you noticing and what kinds of new 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:26.360 different things are you doing that you know that you'd 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:27.480 like to share with the slices? 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:32.160 Okay, well, let me say that had I left the 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:37.440 show for the pandemic, my perspective on your question would 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.400 be much different. But because we worked from home for 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.680 two years, where you know, I sat on the couch 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.400 for four hours with you guys on the show, did 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.680 the show, did my job during the show, and then 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:50.960 the minute the show was over, I was on my 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.440 couch again. I was home right where I could get 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:54.840 up at like ten to six of a quarter to 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.840 six right and get ready for the show. So I'm 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.160 only four hours different then I was when I was 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.800 on the show during the pandemic. Yeah, so I would 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:08.760 say that helped me adjust to this life. But not 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.160 having to wake up at all, Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.240 That's what I'm saying. Like right now, you're right now. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.320 You you don't have a job at the moment, so 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.280 you doesn't matter what time you wake up unless you 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.159 have an appointment. But that aside, Look, what's that like 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:23.680 every day? 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.400 So you know that feeling on Friday where you worked 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:28.960 in the morning, so you're tired. So if you go 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:30.880 out on Friday, you're tired because you got up early 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.560 morning on Friday, and you know that feeling on Sunday 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.679 where you get up late, but you're stressed because you 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:38.000 gotta go to work the next day, so you go 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.320 to bed early on Sunday. Yeah, so one day a 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.040 week you have that sleep late, stay up late Saturday 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:47.280 night that one day and it's awesome, right, You're like, well, Saturday, 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.159 I got nothing of no no work in the morning, 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.800 no work tomorrow. And then sometimes it's a holiday on Monday, 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:57.560 so your Sunday is like whoa, yeah weekend. Yeah, I 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:58.560 get that every day. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:01.920 Every day. Yeah. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.720 Now I have to look at my phone sometimes to 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.840 see what day of the week it is because I 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:07.520 have no schedule. 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.960 What different things have you been doing that you would 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.399 not have that you hadn't done or couldn't have done 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.160 when you were working mornings. 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.640 Well, I told you I go to dinner more often 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.240 during the week I have not in the city. Now, 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.359 notice that I can head into the city and have 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.119 dinner during the week. Now, if we go to Broadway 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.200 show on a Tuesday. On a Tuesday, I don't have 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.960 to worry about getting to bed because I'm not staying 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:39.320 up every night writing. So not to get too technical, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.399 but if you listen to Ze one hundred in New 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.200 York up until well, I don't know if you still 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.200 do it. When I was there, there were two times 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.560 a show where Elvis would do a live break but 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.560 only for New York, and it was just about New 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.960 York stuff, new York crime, sports, weather, interesting stories, and 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:57.480 I would have to step every night and write those. 0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.960 So every night i'd have to before I went to bed, 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:01.560 I had to write a bunch of stuff so that 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.119 allays had stuff to talk about. I don't have to 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.560 stress about that anymore. I go out, I don't have to, 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:07.600 like I gotta get home and write. 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:08.320 The local breaks. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:09.160 You don't. 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.119 You don't have homework. I don't have homework. I have 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:13.960
