WEBVTT - My Favorite Boy Band Cover Group - Travis Nesbitt 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.080 On the kind of three. We both tell say how 0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:05.160 many times we've shared our pants as an adult? Okay, one, two, 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:09.559 three thirty? 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:16.759 Probably I've shipped my pants a lot. Me too, really? 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:28.040 Oh my god, Tash Shaw Tosh Show to show. It's 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:33.440 podcast time and I'm your host, Daniel Tosh, host of 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:39.560 the Toss Show podcast, the only podcast that is non smoking, 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:46.160 pet friendly and queer friendly. A lot going on, Eddie, 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:50.120 what's going on? Uh? The show has hit the mainstream. 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:51.680 That's what I'm talking about. 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.800 Cats out of the bag. The show has finally reached 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.880 my mother. I never told her that I was doing 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.680 a podcast, and the other day she calls me up 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.479 and she goes, Daniel, I've got two things to tell you, 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.600 all right, what is it? She goes one, it's illegal 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.039 in the state of Florida to record someone over the phone. 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.080 And I started laughing, and she goes getting ready for this. 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:23.160 She goes two, I'd like to be the intern. Wow, 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:24.960 that's what she said. 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:25.600 I like it. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.920 She wants to be the intern. I said, I don't know, Mom, 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.119 you're not gonna move out here and you're not good 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.399 at stuff, so but we'll think about it. I had 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.600 never brought the show up to her, honest to God, 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.160 and and and now I know that she listens, and 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.600 you know what she said about it. She goes, oh, man, 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.720 it's just so many swear words. You're just swearing constantly. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.720 So now now that I know she's listening, I'm gonna 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.560 be thinking about that. And now now I feel like 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.120 this show's not gonna be as free as it once 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.880 was because I've I've got that, I've got that little 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:09.079 thing on my shoulder. What is that little Margo cancer? No, 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:16.519 little Margo? Speaking of mothers was I was in Palm 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:21.600 Springs last week at the Indian Wells Tennis tournament, and 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:26.560 anytime a female tennis player is in it is playing 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.040 and she's a mother, they make such a big deal 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:34.240 about it, like, oh, look at a mother competing as 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.520 a professional athlete. And I'm just not that impressed. Now 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.200 a grandmother, that's that's something to brag about. Yeah, if 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.200 there was a grandmother still competing as a pro tennis player, 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.639 but just a mother. I know, having a child is 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:56.440 a major ordeal. But once you've recovered and and your 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.960 your back to your old physical shape and training, it's like, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.240 we don't know if you're a good mom, right, make 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.400 me a shitty mom that just has somebody else doing everything. 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.960 And I'm not even saying that that means that you're 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.000 a shitty mom. But I'm just saying I just don't. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.840 It's not that I need to know all the circumstances 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.919 for me to be like I can't believe. And she's 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.680 playing tennis. I mean, my mom's played tennis every day 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.280 of her life. You don't see me singing her praises. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.680 What a hero you raised us and you went out 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:37.680 and played tennis today. Ran into Michelle. We've had her 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.800 on the show. That interview is coming up soon. It's 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.320 nice to see her. She introduced me to her husband, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.320 and I'm like, oh my goodness, you look just like 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:55.160 your logo Djokovic. I don't care where you stand politically, 0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:00.360 but if you like Djokovic, you're dead to me. I'm 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.560 not a fan of Novak Djokovic. And he lost to 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.240 the lucky loser in the second round. Now, he's the 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.720 undisputed goat of tennis, and he lost to the lucky loser. 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.160 You know, the lucky loser is he's he's the guy 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.039 that didn't even get into the tournament. But somebody dropped 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.640 out and then he got to fill their place. Yeah, 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.120 and he upset joke and then immediately in the next 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.880 round he just got his ass kicked. But whatever it was, 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.920 it was a life changing moment for him. I'm sure. 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.000 Do I remember his name, No, not at all, but 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.480 he's an American. I think I have no idea. I 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:38.520 came up with a joke. Do you want to hear it? 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:39.039 Eddie, I do? 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:44.560 Novak Djokovic, Aaron Rodgers, and Kyrie Irving walk into a bar. 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:52.200 The bartender pulls out a shotgun and blows his head off. Perfect, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:57.839 you get it? Yeah, and then Aaron Rodgers and Djokovic 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.800 look at each other and go, oh, must be one 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:04.119 of the side effects to the vaccine. Oh. They all laugh, 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.800 and then Elon Musk walks in. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:08.880 Good joke. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.560 It's this joke. I haven't finished it. It's just gonna 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:16.240 be a long joke. All right, that's enough sports for 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:21.400 one episode. Let's talk to the founder of a boy 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:31.160 band cover group, Enjoy Pasha. We've set the studio a 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.080 tempt to ninety eight degrees, so I'm in sync with 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.960 today's guest. He's no new kid on the block, and 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.680 ever Since creating the boy band Project, he's transformed his 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.679 boys to men. While heading in one direction cruise ships, 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.800 please welcome my favorite cover boy band, Mogul Travis. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.599 Hello, thank you for having me, Thank you for doing this. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.200 This is my first question I ask all my guests. Okay, 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.360 do you believe in gay ghosts? 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:05.279 Oh? Gosh, gay ghosts, just ghosts. I don't believe in ghosts, really, 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:05.880 I know. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:07.600 No, No, I wish I did, but I don' what 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.039 do you mean you wish? But basically what you said 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.040 to me is I wish I was stupid, But I'm 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.119 not stupid. I'm smart. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.120 I kind of do wish that sometimes. Don't you wish 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.360 that that you didn't know the things that you know 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:18.480 that you have to know. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.359 No, I'm okay, all right, So you don't believe in ghosts. 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.560 That's great, I don't, Travis. You grew up in southern California. Yes, 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:26.440 where I. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.160 Actually grew up in a little town called Norco. It's 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.839 next to Corona where the ninety one meets the fifteen. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.280 I get you know it? No, No, I don't know 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.000 the town, but I know the area. But I also 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.599 get confused when people start saying highway numbers. I know 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.839 ninety one goes straight out like to the Inland Empire. 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.479 No, it's in the Inland Empire. Yeah, for sure, I. 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.159 Say, do you ever say Inland Empire? Do you say? I? E? 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.600 I try not to, but I sometimes I have to 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:51.760 to get the message across. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.360 Is it conservative out there? 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:53.920 Absolutely? 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.240 Yeah? How'd that affect you? 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.960 I mean I didn't really come out until I was nineteen, 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.599 and I knew that I was going to go to 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.920 the East and then I just went crazy over there. 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.520 So I kind of kept a lid on it until 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.159 I went over there because I knew it wouldn't be 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:06.400 fun in the ie. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:07.440 How was he gay? 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.280 Oh, there's no gay bars. There was no gay people 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:10.800 at school. 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.800 Did you ever date a girl? 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.520 I did? Yeah, she's in this room. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:21.000 Actually, I won't get too into the details of that relationship. 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.360 She's married now to a wonderful man named Dylan, who's 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.480 also gay. I haven't heard that. I have heard that. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.280 Were you obsessed with music growing up? 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.679 Yes? I guess it was just my life. My mom's 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.000 a music teacher. It wasn't like, are you going to 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.520 play an instrument? Is what instrument? Are you going to play? 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.120 Do you play everything? I don't, do you play anything. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.320 I play the piano and I play the trumpet. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.320 Kind of the trumpet. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:49.040 Yeah, it'sul I know it really nobody nobody wants to 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.480 hear it. They put it in the back of the 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.320 orchestra because it's loud and annoying. And I wasn't any 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:53.840 good at all. 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.680 The piano, though, is just wonderful. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:56.720 Yeah. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:01.520 I'm furious at my parents. Everyone, my parents, all my 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.280 siblings can all play the piano and I can't play 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.360 the piano. And I asked my mom, why didn't you 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.720 force me to take lessons? And she's like, oh, you 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.240 didn't want to. You never wanted to. And I'm like, well, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.360 I go, so you just listen. She's like, I wasn't 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.840 gonna fight with you to play the piano. 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.640 My mom. I didn't really want to play, but my 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.560 mom was a concert pianist, so she was like, you 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.600 don't get allowance until you play the genius. And so 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.280 now I know how to play, and you're thankful for it. 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:28.880 I am. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.240 I am actually saying how cool is to have a 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:32.880 piano in your place? Great? 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.160 I actually I don't feel comfortable unless there's an acoustic 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.320 piano in the place that I live. Is that weird? 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.600 No? But I actually just wanted the piano just because 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:42.640 I like the way it looks. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.800 Yeah, it is kind of cool looking, right right, it's sophisticated. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.800 Like I just want something like cool stand up, Yeah, 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:55.760 like old school, Yes, probably black, I think. Talk to 0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.480 me just about you were an off Broadway show Altar Boys. Yeah, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.400 so five hundred app how long did you do that? Ideas? 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.400 So the show ran for five years off Broadway and 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:07.840 I did the last year and a half of it 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.120 and I did five hundred and fifty five performances. And 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.040 it's a musical about a boy a Catholic boy band 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.880 saving the souls of New York through their singing, singing 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.720 and hip hop dance. It's basically a recreation of a 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.920 boy band concert on stage, but with like a lot 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.319 of like different comedy about the different idiosyncracies of being 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.120 in a boy band and like whatnot if that makes sense. 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.839 So yeah, so I did that for a year and 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.480 a half off Broadway closed it. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.600 First of all, I'm just curious, what's your do you have? 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.920 Are you familiar with the Catholic Church, what's your stance 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.680 on the Catholic Church. I have a stance on altar boys. 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.760 I have no stance on the on alter boys. Really, like, 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.840 I don't even really know about Catholicism. Besides, like what 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.480 what the lyrics that I had to sing? I mean, 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.520 I grew up like more Pentecostal. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.040 Sure you know well these two. But I still despise 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.760 everything the Cowtholic church like I would. There's like a 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.880 Catholic church like near a home, and I make my 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:10.720 kids walk fast past it. Really why, Well, because you 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:15.400 know who's never been sexually assaulted in a Catholic church? 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.600 Is a kid who's never been inside a Catholic church. 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.079 That's that's a good point. 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.040 So that that's I'm playing those odds only right. I 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.600 don't care if it's one in a billion, you're not going. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:28.800 I don't know. I don't like it. 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.480 Well, people who are not a fan of the ch 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.400 who love the Catholic like the Catholic religion, actually loved 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.720 to show because we did poke fun at it a lot. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.839 I mean a lot of people also thought that we 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.000 were ministering to them, which was was bizarre. 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.040 Be straight with me for one moment. The musical rent 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.920 true or false? The worst musical on Broadway. 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:55.480 False, that was my jam? Are you kidding me? I 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.280 love it. I used to pop in that CD and 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.120 I thought like, oh, yeah, I know, I'm listening to 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.720 rock music. Now this is my jam. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.080 I married a woman who just listens to the Broadway 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:09.559 channel on satellite radio all the time, and I just, oh, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.920 it's just it's not so bad. Well, I mean some 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.200 of it. I get you get into it. You start 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.360 picking favorites real quick. On the count of three, we 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.760 both tell say how many times we've shared our pants 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.319 as an adult? Okay, one, two, three, thirty? 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:29.600 Too many? I'm thirty. Probably shipped my pants a lot? 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.920 Me too? Really? Oh my god, I really think I 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.120 have a problem. I should talk to a doctor about it. 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:44.120 What do you do when you're performing? Uh? Like, like, 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.120 has it ever having Broadway? Like you're like, oh. 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.000 No, one time I took a pee break on in 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.040 the middle of a scene in the show once because 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:51.440 I had to. 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.360 I'm not talking about pee about diarrhea. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.719 Oh I never have to ship on stage. 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.160 For some reason, I thought you said you ship your pants. 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.280 Yeah, I just daily life though. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.280 Right, But but your stomach doesn't get upset or nervous 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.240 before a performance, ever, and you have to like empty 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:06.840 everything out. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:07.760 Not that way. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.040 Oh good for you. You know you're not living my 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.280 life at all. I've been on I've been on a toilet, 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.240 just exploding, and I hear them introducing me, and I'm like, well, 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:16.880 I'm not coming. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.800 That's devastating. So what do you do? 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.559 Just let them deal with whatever they got to deal 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:21.040 with out there. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:23.080 Show must go on. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.120 No it doesn't. The show doesn't go on. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:26.000 Show doesn't happen. 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.960 Show. The show waits until I'm finished, right, and then 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.679 and then I get out there, I'm like, oh, yeah, 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.719 it was in the back. It's cocaine. 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.640 And they all laugh, Oh the cokeshits. No, I don't. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.760 I don't do cocaine. I just say something stupid to 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.320 move on. All right, But it's okay, but you've crapped yourself. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.120 That's good. Everyone talks about Broadway. It's just a tough 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.800 place to make a living, especially the most expensive city, uh, 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.199 certainly in our country is off Broadway. Even worse, what 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.280 are we looking at? What kind of income can you 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.800 make a on a hit show off Broadway? 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.839 Off Broadway? I was pulling in like one thousand dollars 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.320 a week, which is which is nothing for New York. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.120 Like we were we felt like rock stars, but we 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.199 were broke as a joke. I mean, we were going 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.120 on TV shows, but we were spending all of our 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.960 money for our studio apartments in Hill's kitchen and barely 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.440 squeaking by. But it was amazing. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.679 How'd you get into How'd you make the jump? Say? Oh, 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.960 I have an idea this boy band Project. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.880 I did Alter Boys for a long time, and it 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.840 was I was kind of getting sick of like the 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.439 up and down roller coaster of like, okay, now what 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.079 do I do? Scramble audition and then you get something, 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.600 but then that gig is still like six months away, 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.200 so you got to figure out what to do in 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.520 that time. So I was like, I have all of 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.480 these friends who look like they could be in a 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.199 boy band. Let me keep this going. And I was 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.200 getting a lot of like gigwork because I had a 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.880 certain notoriety from being in that show for so long. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.600 And so I created my own entity, which is the 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:57.200 Boyband Project, which is essentially a contemporary boyband cover group. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:01.000 So we cover in Sync and Backstreet Boy but with 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:13.120 like expert Broadway vocals. Choreography and whatnot. It started as 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.560 like a party act and then slowly turned into like 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.440 performing arts centers and cruise ships and now we're here 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:21.520 in LA. 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.800 Only in sync and backstreet boys? Or do you do 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:24.760 all the boy bands? 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.400 We do all like the contemporary ones. So it's like 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:32.000 circa two thousand and ninety two nineties, right, So you 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:32.640 do LFO. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.440 We do LFO just just the one song. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.280 That's the only song that's worth singing. Yeah, Otown? 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:41.760 What song? Otown? All or Nothing? 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.200 All or Nothing, Liquid Dreams. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:48.840 I actually like All or Nothing. 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:49.800 Oh, it's amazing. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.160 That's the problem with you know, Like I can listen. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.480 I appreciate Tool, I like that rock and roll, but 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.400 it's like I still I like All or Nothing by 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:01.920 O Town. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.600 Yeah, well you're well rounded then. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.520 I don't know if that's the right word, but sure. 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.960 No. It's funny because in high school, like I mean 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.920 I was, I was low key obsessed with these boy bands. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.160 But so we're like all of my straight friends in choir, 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.480 and we would like we would play all or Nothing 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.960 and just sing like it was like our our everything, 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.760 like this was our freaking song. We'd look into each 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.960 other's eyes and just sing all or nothing to this day, like, 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.200 it's still my favorite song. I created the show, so 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.440 I get to sing what I want to sing, and 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.160 that's the song that I always pick for myself. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:33.720 That's great. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:34.840 I freaking love it. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:40.320 I also like the statement my straight friends in choir, Yeah. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.800 Because they were all straight. I mean, it's anya, I think. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:48.120 So I don't know this. This isn't a contemporary boy band. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.920 But do you consider what's you McCall it? What's that 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.120 group that everybody thinks is the greatest band of all time? 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:53.800 The Beatles? 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.680 The Beatles? Yeah, you consider the Beatles of boy band? 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.720 Yeah for sure, Okay, but not like there's a lot 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.560 of people that cover those, you know, And so I 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.720 try to stick to the two decades. No, let's part 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.560 of the group just because nobody else is doing it. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.760 How many people are in your group? 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.760 So it's four on stage at a time, But I've 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.600 got a roster of like probably about twenty guys in 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.000 New York City that know the show. And so the 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.480 business model that I created, well is that when they're 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.800 not in a Broadway show, like remember how I told you, 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.480 there's usually had six months in between your contracts. Sometimes 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.200 you book the greatest gig ever, but you're still broke 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.960 as a joke until you get there. And so they 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.760 they like, hey, i've got six months off, can you 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.600 put me in a boy band? And so I get 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.800 them gigging on cruise ships. I send them to la. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:40.600 What's your thought on cruise ships? 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.360 They're horrid awful. It's tough, right, but the money is 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:48.800 so good, and they treat if you're a headliner. You're like, 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.600 you've got it made. You're a prince. You get your 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.120 own cabin with a balcony. It's free meals. You we 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.120 do a seven day contract and we do work one 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.000 day and I get paid for the whole week. 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.320 And you're so coming off of of struggling to make 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.200 ends meet in New York City. It's a breath of 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:03.640 fresh air. 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.600 Oh people. And the boys love it. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.800 And by the boys, you mean you're the group. Yeah, 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.359 isn't it weird calling the boys though? What's the age? 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:12.840 What's the age range of your boys? 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:19.959 I mean anywhere from forty five to down to another direction, 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:21.640 like twenty three. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.320 There's no actual boys in the boys band, That's all 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:25.679 I'm getting at, right. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.920 It's more of lake. You're all men, yeah, I guess, 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:30.600 or men that never grew up? 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.760 Yeah? Are you all sexy? Yeah? 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:34.320 Yeah? 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.119 Is there any dogs in the bunch? You know, like 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.320 like sometimes I'll like look at I'll stare at like, uh, 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.719 you know, I'm in Vegas and you see an ad 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.920 for Thunder from down Under or Magic Mike yea, and 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:48.760 you look at them together and like all these are 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.840 beautiful men. But then when you start looking at them individually, 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:52.880 like all right, this guy. 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:53.920 Is distorting one. 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.400 Yeah, this guy get white evolved? 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.080 Who's he related to? Right? 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.720 Anyway? So are most of you guys all very attractive? 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:01.919 Was the question? 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:03.760 Yes, I will say yes. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.359 Any straight guys in the group, yes, multiple. 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:08.240 Yeah, Oh that's good. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.400 Yeah. I mean they don't dance as well? 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.680 What's the rule you have to dance? You know? So 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:18.639 so generally the guys or the boys that have this 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.200 certain skill set to be in the boy band project 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.640 end up being gay. We've got I've got a lot 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.280 of straight guys who are freaking awesome with it and 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:28.560 they're just down with what. 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.520 Are they appropriating gay culture? 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.720 No? Because no, because the bands were they were gay, 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:39.240 they weren't. I mean some you know, sure, Metro maybe 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.480 you know, you know, I think I think there is 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.560 something inherently gay about being in a boy band, maybe 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.480 just because of the ability to express your emotion really freely, 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.520 you know that. Agree, you know there's no stoicism with 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.000 being in a boy band, Then like, why why watch 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.320 them if they're not going to like bear their soul 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.200 to you in a song? 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.000 Speaking of bearing your soul?

No, but I want to. 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.360 Write you no. But every time I read like justin 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.600 Timberlake paid for an abortion, I just get so excited. 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.880 I'm like, what why do I love that head? 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:18.919 It just makes me so nervous. 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:20.800 Because you know he's at home right now with his 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:25.680 wife going fucking shot.
