WEBVTT - Drew Droege Disobeys Bridger 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:14.440 But I invited you here. I thought I made myself 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:21.239 perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:27.240 gotta come to me empty. And I said, no guests, 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:34.440 you're presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff, 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.240 So how did you dare to surbey me? 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:54.720 Welcome to I said, no gifts and Bridgard Wineger, we're 0:00:54.760 --> 0:01:00.520 in the backyard. There was some minor police activity about 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.400 an hour ago. I don't know what was happening, but 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.240 I think that's been cleared up. My voice is back 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:11.360 to probably ninety eight percent. Probably can't still can't hit 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.880 the high notes that I'm famous for, but I think 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.680 we'll make it through the whole episode without me sounding weak, 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:22.920 at least physically or vocally. Emotionally mentally, those things just 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.680 continue to seem who knows that'll be spotty. I mean, 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.200 what's dominating my thoughts is I have a buy one 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.679 getting one free salad coupon on my counter, and I 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.880 just can't stop thinking about how I'm going to use 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.080 that as wisely as possible to get two salads, and 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:45.240 when I'll eat the second salad. Is there any other 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.800 crucial business we need to talk about? There isn't I adore. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.680 I love today's guest. I'm so excited he's here. It's 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.040 Drew DROGI, Drew Hybridser, Welcome to I said, no gift. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.160 Thank you so much. I'm so happy you're here. I'm 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.960 so happy to be here. What happened to your voice? 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.120 Like I I was in New York, alast. 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.080 To get it loud City. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.520 I was screaming the entire time. Sure, you have to 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.400 you get on the plane the way. 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.800 You gotta, you gotta, you gotta tell people exactly what 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:15.200 you want. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.600 You've got to be open and honest. That's right, brutal. Yes, yeah, 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.120 I sit down on the plane on the way to 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.320 New York, and I immediately it's screaming, scream until I 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.000 get back to lax Great and then I'm back into 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.040 my you know, relaxed surfer. 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.040 Five, sweet easy Los Angeles. 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.400 Yes, exactly. Yeah, I had a I got a cold 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:40.040 while there, and uh, it just decimated my voice. Because 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:41.920 you were going to record earlier this week, I know, 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.960 and it felt it feels like such a flimsy excuse 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.000 to be like he doesn't have his voice. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.880 It's an audio podcast, like it kind of like a 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.079 made up thing. No but I no, no, no, but no. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.200 It happens all the time. I lose my voice a lot. 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.760 I'm horrible about, Like I have to go back and 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.440 actually do like training that I quote unquote learned in 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.519 college about how to take care of my instrument, and 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.760 I don't. I'm horrible about it. I will blow it 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.400 out so easily, and I don't always. I'm always nervous 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.840 about doing it, like what I'm doing stage shows and stuff. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.000 But it usually happens at the bar after the show 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.800 because you're talking for hours and you're not realizing how 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.079 much you're straining just to just to make noise forever. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.360 And so that's usually where it happens. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.960 You actually lose and then what are you doing to 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.200 repair it? To recover? 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.480 There's a very little you can do other than rest 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:36.800 and drink lots of water. I sometimes the saltwater helps. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:42.680 Gargling pineapple helps. Pineapple, yeah, pineapples very it's uh, it's 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.880 a it's an anti inflammatory. Oh and you know what 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.360 really helps. Actually, there's a lot of tricks that help 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.360 with it. Ibuprofen. Take three. I be profn at night 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.320 and three in the morning. And it because you're anti 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.520 inflammatory because your voice is actually just blown out. That's what. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.280 And then and another thing, if you really need I 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.280 learned this as just a fast trick is lays potato 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:11.680 chips or fried chicken, because those things have so much 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.400 grease in them that they will bond your vocal cords 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:15.480 together to make noise. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:16.560 This is a dream to hear. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.320 I mean I learned this when I was, you know, 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.080 doing a musical in the New York City and they 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.800 told us, they were like, if you really need to 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.520 make noise, it's specifically lays playing potato chips because they've 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.599 got so much grease. They're just so oily. It's so oily, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.480 that's why. And or fried chicken. 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.320 Wow, this is fascinating, Like real. 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.320 Fried chicken, not like some like no no, no, no, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.000 like oven bake, none of that shit. You need like real, dripping, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:42.960 greasy fried chicken. 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.600 I love greasy, dripping right. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.960 It's a great excuse to just run out in the 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.839 middle shows be like I have to eat the nastiest 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:49.320 fried chicken. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:49.800 I get fine. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:54.520 Yeah, exactly what musical were you doing in the time Titanique? 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:55.640 Have you seen it? 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.640 Wait? I saw you. I was there. When was this 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.320 this was actually very uncomfortable for me because I was 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:03.880 afraid I was going to make eye contact with you 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.000 on stage. Oh god. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.960 I first of all, I can't see anything when I'm 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.200 up there. I'm blind as. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.280 A bad I know, you forget that as an audience. Yeah, 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.120 but at the time, I was like, if I will 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.360 have to leave the theater. This must have been last year. 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.400 It was last year we did it. Yeah, I mean 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.360 it's still running, but I was in it last year. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.200 It's a blast. It's a parody of Titanic with all 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.440 the music of Celine Dion. It's become this thing. I know. 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.360 I was just thinking about Marlon Connie and Tye and 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.440 Nicholas who wrote it. Now it's like the productions of 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.320 it in Australia, all your Kid, London and Canada and 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.279 oh yeah, all over the world the productions of Titanique 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:40.880 that are happening, And I'm like, how cool. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.400 That's wild. When did it open it that's a great question. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.320 I should know that they've been doing it. They've been 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.000 working on it off and on and workshopping it for 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.880 many years. Okay, it opened at the Theater at the 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:58.599 Old like underneath Christides or the RC right, right, So 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.000 that's where it opened, okay, and then they moved it 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.120 to the Daryl Roth. Yes, I'm going to say like 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.680 November of twenty two it moved to Daryl Roth and 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:06.960 it's been running there since then. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:11.160 Wow, for to already have international franchises, Yes, that's pretty impressive. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.480 Yes, but I think it opened, you know twenty one. 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.520 It must have been obviously post pend. 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.440 Right, yes, yes, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I saw 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.919 you in it. That's such a strange. I could completely 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.359 forgot obviously your performance was just completely forgettable. I was 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.120 fairly in it, Vanish I just. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.320 Play an eyelash and forget about me. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:34.560 How long were you in it? 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.160 For? Five months? Okay? 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.839 Yeah, yeah, it's like right near Union Square there, yep, yes, yeah, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:40.920 house straight. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.760 It was such a dream because I've never I love musicals, 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.080 like I'm not a singer, right, so, and so it 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.479 was like this dream to do a musical in New 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.320 York City and to do the eight shows a week 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.680 thing that I had never really done because even when 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.000 I did my solo show there, the most average was 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.040 seven shows a week. I never did eight, right, And 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.479 I was like, I need that New York theater, like 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:02.320 it's hell. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.160 It's horrible, a nightmare. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.120 It's a nightmare. You're never not tired. Your day off 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.680 is your most exhausted day. Of course, your body lets 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.360 yourself actually be tired. But I'm so glad I had 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.280 the experience because as someone who never thought that would 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.560 happen to be in a musical, and it was like, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:18.640 that's very cool. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.720 To not have the number one thing you need for 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:21.920 a musical. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.160 Right, And this character was the one part that didn't 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.600 sing right right and that you don't remember, and. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.920 That I completely The rest of the show was fire. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.280 I mean, can we start, Let's go down the line 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.800 and talk about how great everybody else was and memorable 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:35.160 they were. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.720 No, you were spectacular. The whole show was so delightful. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:39.480 It's just a party. 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.400 It's about it's a party. It's a big party. It's 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:43.440 so much fun. Yeah. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.240 The eight shows a week thing coming from living in 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.720 LA and working in this site of entertainment where you 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.760 write three hours every nine months. 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.160 Right exactly. Or even when you do theater in LA, 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.360 it's usually four or five shows a week. You do 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.480 like a weekend, and you rarely do two in one day. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.360 In La. You know, it's it's very easy. It's very 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.040 JV compared to like New York is like whip cracking. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:07.840 Do you start to just I feel like you would 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.880 just lose the feeling of it all a few shows in, 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:12.440 Do you just feel robotic? 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.240 I would feel robotic after a while. And I felt 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.000 that way in my own show too, And I was like, 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.760 and I remember the first time I felt that way 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.760 that I'd always heard, Like, you know, an actors, you 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.720 start thinking about your laundry, and you start you right, 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.120 and you have those intrusive thoughts, and I was like, well, 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.960 that'll never be me. I'll always be in the in 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.320 the truth of the moment every time. But even in 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.800 my own show, I started to go, oh, blah blah blah, 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.400 I'm just thinking. And I was watching my body do 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.880 the same mannerisms and that same and so I went 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.560 off stage and I said the stagement. I said, oh 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:41.880 my god, I'm so sorry. I was so out of 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:43.800 it tonight, and he said I had no idea. Wow, 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.560 So you do. It's like choreography with anything, you have 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.680 to kind of actually not think about it because the 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.840 worst thing to do is to be up there and 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.280 go I'm not present. I need to get in my body, 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.640 and then that makes you even more in your head 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.920 and then you're a very aware aware of everything you have. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.000 You have to stop thinking and just go out there 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.120 and do the show right, which is really weird because 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.400 you go through this long period of like do I 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.920 know my lines? Am I listening to my partner? Is 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.520 this the way to deliver this the best way? Like 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.720 you go through this trial period for like previews, and 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.439 then you hit you like coast for a bit where 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.160 you're like, oh, I'm so connected and so fun and 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.320 then you're like, I am so out the door and 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.560 I don't even know. But five months was as long 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.360 as I felt. 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.280 Like I couldn't do it, to be basically working overtime. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.080 Yeah, and just the same words over and over again. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.800 My my interests of thoughts were coming in and I 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.160 would be like what if I start screaming? What if 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.840 I jump up the stage? What if I high fi 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.640 bridge are in the audience? Like I would just content 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:43.560 thou show. You would exactly see time machine, That's what 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.640 I need to do is go back in time. No, 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.040 but I would I would have those complete thoughts of 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.439 just like what if I you. 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.760 Know, oh, which very fun thoughts, which are. 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.200 Fun but also terrifying and also just like get in it, 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.480 say it it, you know, but you know, well. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.199 Yeah, it's kind of like a very dull, out of 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:04.200 body experience. Yes, fascinating for sure, which I probably, as 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.680 having no stage skill whatsoever, will never experience. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:08.719 I don't believe that. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.400 Well, believe it here today too. 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.000 You know, I think no. I think it's like, in 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.760 a way, it kind of protects you, because you know, 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.160 you're like, when the audience is great, you can feel 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.360 like I'm amazing, we're killing it, We're doing so great, 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.600 and then they're bad and you're like, I'm horrible. And 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.400 then sometimes there's part of you it's like neither you're 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.160 always there's always kind of like baseline. It is what 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.120 it is, and so you kind of like through that, 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.160 you're kind of like, oh, we're just punching the clock 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.360 and going back, and when you're doing that many shows, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.680 you're just like, all right, the next one is in 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.040 five minutes, so here we go. Put another quarter in 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.840 the back of my neck and wind me up or whatever. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.560 How familiar were you with Titanic before? Were you much 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.800 of a fan of the movie. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.880 I do like the movie, like the I like the 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.719 nineteen twelve part of the movie. The wrap around is 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.640 pretty horrible. I mean, the Bill Paxton incredible is so bad. 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.120 But I do think the actual Titanic part of it 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.840 is really great. I saw it. I definitely saw it 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.120 in the theater. I maybe saw it all the way 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.000 through one other time before. But I've known them from 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.599 the beginning, so I did the very first like a 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.920 reading of Titanique at someone's apartment, like before it was 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.439 ever done, and then I wasn't able to do it 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:28.160 officially until last year. So I've watched I've seen Titanique 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.520 six or seven times and after I've actually gone back 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:34.720 and seen it after I did it. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.400 Yeah, I think I've only seen the movie once in 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.520 the theaters, right, And it's just I never have any 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:41.520 other reason to watch it. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.439 No, it's three and a half hours long, and why 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.600 would you just sit down and watch that? Right? 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.680 But people love it, They've worshiped. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:49.880 Yeah, I mean it's it got a lot of you know, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.840 people love to bag on it too and hate on it, 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.839 but it it's better than that. I mean, you know, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.560 it's better than a lot of things that have won 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.400 Best Picture, Right, you know and so, and it's a 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.400 big blockbuster. 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:02.920 Period piece, kind of engaging melodro. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.600 But everyone's really good in it, you know, the kids 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.720 are great in it, Victor Carver's. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.360 Fantashure and I do. I mean, the only thing I've 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:15.320 seen repeatedly is the dropping the thing into the ocean. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.160 Right, which is ridiculous. It makes no sense and you 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.160 want to throttle that woman, like why why are you 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:20.640 doing that? 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.240 I Like, when it came to my attention as an adult, 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.079 I was like, this couldn't possibly have been part of 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.000 the original because I had obviously forgotten. But it's part 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.120 of the film, right, right. It's so strange. It's so 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.120 strange because it seems objectively bad. 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.760 Yes, and it's also like what like you're throwing the 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.760 whole thing away into the just sort of like. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:46.240 Eh, and is you're doing that just to maintain the mystery? 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:47.320 What is the I don't even know. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:49.440 It's yeah, I think it's sort of like I've told 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.480 my story, that's all you get, and I I don't know. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.800 I don't think James Karen thought it through. We have 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.920 fun and Titanic making fun of that every night, right, 0:12:59.080 --> 0:12:59.720 But you know. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.360 Yeah, have you lived in New York much. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.200 I've never lived in New York. Oh wow, I've only 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.240 I've spent a lot of time there. But I've lived 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.560 in Los Angeles proper for twenty five years. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:12.200 Where are you from? 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:13.240 North Carolina? 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.559 Oh? Okay, okay, yeah wow, So yeah, I've only I've 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.160 lived in New York for probably a total of a 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.240 year and a half at this point. Okay, But I 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.600 don't know that I'm made for it, So I don't. 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.679 Know that I love working there and that that was 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.520 the longest I was there doing Touch Sneque. But I've 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.920 done my show's there. I'm trying to get I love 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.560 I mean, you know, having a job there is so fun. Oh, 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.760 doing a play there, a purpose, Being on a TV 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.760 show there is like you know, or I love to 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.880 spend like two weeks max going and seeing things and 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.839 seeing friends and hanging out and spending way too much 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.480 money and just being an idiot. 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:46.760 Right, Dasha, blast right. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.120 I've never lived there where I'm just pounding the pavement 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.800 trying to have a life there without like some sort 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.160 of employment for too long, right, I think that would 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.880 be really tough. And I'm used to this. I'm used 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:01.920 to space and ease and ease, you know, I used 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:02.360 to ease. 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.200 The other thing I was going to ask you about 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.440 related to Titanic if we can move on beyond this, 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.600 but have you seen this Selene Dion documentary? 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:09.559 Yes? I have. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:10.800 How did you feel about that? 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.679 It's it's wonderful. You know, I had no I had 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.200 no real connection with Selene Dion. If anything, I kind 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:18.800 of laughed at her and thought she was kind of 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.000 an you know, and then even the in the beginning 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.600 of Titanique, you know, Marlen Mendel's hilarious impression of Celene 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.840 Dion and then you know, getting to like see Nicole Parker, 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.640 Jackie Burns do it, and all these people like it's 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.520 this but Ty Blue, who directed our show, was so 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.400 smart in making us love her. We was like, you 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.960 have to love Selene. It's like the entire thing is 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.560 what would Selene do? And Selene leads with kindness and 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.920 so she's goofy and ridiculous, but you have to love her. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.240 And so I realized through that show. I was like, 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.200 I know all of these songs. I would not own 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.280 these songs is my kind of music. Yet you kind 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.360 of learned to love. So I became a fan of 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.360 her because of doing the show. It was one of 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.520 those things of like, I did a Karen Carpenter's parody show, 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.160 and I love Karen Carpenter. I was like, Karen Carpenter, 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.800 get out of here, grow up. But but now you're like, oh, 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.320 I love you know, I'm not afraid to admit I 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.320 can like, you know, kind of like sentimental grocery store music. 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.680 And and her voice is on Seline's voice is unbelievable, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.240 and so it's Karen Carpenter's obviously, so yeah so and 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.200 then on top of it, with the all of her 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.360 health issues that she's had, it just makes you like 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.200 really see the human being that she is and you 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.480 love her, and you're like, thank god, I love my 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:40.400 starts to be weird. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.640 Oh of course weird in a good way. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.640 Absolutely, Barbara streisand is not weird enough. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:47.200 She could breathe it all. 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.360 I'll say it. I want I want a weirdo. 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.960 Let's find out something. You have all of the resources 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.720 to be as strange as you possibly want. 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.360 Go for it, Go for it. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:57.120 Be a freak. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:58.040 Do it. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.000 Please have something to hie. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.000 The rest of us, go, oh my god, did you 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:06.560 see yes, of course, keep I'm guessing. 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.560 Yeah, I don't. I mean I again, I think I 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.240 do have memory issues because from the documentary, I remember 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.120 health issues. I remember her son's being strange in a 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.200 way where they were like drinking milkshakes all the time, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:23.240 oh right, and being gamers, and then she's just kind 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.840 of trapped at least in the documentary in Las Vegas, right, which. 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.360 That would be my deal. That's my least favorite place 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:29.800 on earth. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:30.840 I'd love to hear it. 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.480 I hate Las Vegas. Do you like Las Vegas? 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.800 I do not, and it's awful. I have to say, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:36.840 you know, there are a lot I'm sure there are 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.080 a lot of wonderful people who love it and live there. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.240 For me, I now cannot go back. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.160 I have been to Old Vegas and I liked that. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.720 Like the Old Vegas part is very cool and like 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.240 I can imagine that. But the New Vegas, the Strip, 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:55.760 it's literally everything terrible about America forced into this horrible, 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.400 just vein of filth, and it's and it's all always 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:05.600 so hot outside and so cold inside. It's loud, they 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:10.080 are people everywhere. It's decad it it's barbecue, pork chop, 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.480 margarita it's awful. 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:14.600 When was the last time you were there? 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.960 Yesterday? No? No, you know I have not been there 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.719 in years. I only go there when I have to. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.439 My family used to take family trips there, and they 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:26.879 used to think it was so fun. We're gonna We're 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.280 gonna meet in Vegas, and they would fly all the 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.400 way from the Carolinas and then I would meet them 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.720 in Vegas and I was like, please, can I go 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.680 home to North Carolina. I'd actually rather, I mean, I 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:40.120 must rather be in North Carolina than than Las Vegas. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.880 But I guess I had. I had a job there, 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.240 maybe ten or more years ago, and I remember getting 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.600 like a six am flight out of there, just gland 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.760 at six forty five am in LA I mean, like 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.159 I would take the earliest flight to get out of there. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:56.399 I was like, nope, no more of this. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.640 No, it is torture for me to be there. There's nothing, 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.440 There's zero appeal. You are seeing the absolute base of 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.760 human behavior, seeing people at their lowest. 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.000 Yes, and just the sadness of people like with the 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.879 sweaty cocktail and putting another quarter in the slot machine, 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.719 just being like my mortgage and you're just like this 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:18.920 is so dark and awful, and I just I when 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.360 I win mon I don't like gambling, I go okay, 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.840 like it doesn't do anything for me to win. I'm 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.920 that way with games too. I don't need to win games. 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:34.800 I'm going to in any setting. I'm going to a 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.920 game night tonight, and I pissed people off because I 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:42.240 don't care. Where's your competitive spirit. I'm like, I had 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.560 to let that die to do what I do for 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.600
