Speaker 105 You're never going to believe this.

Speaker 106 I really do feel like I'm doing the morning show.

Speaker 108 You're never going to believe it. You're never going to believe it.

Speaker 111 Wait, you need, you need to, there has to be a list somewhere of like little filler phrases for talk shows in general, but especially morning shows where you're like.

Speaker 77 It's never going to be a lot of fun. Have you heard about this?

Speaker 73 Have you heard about this yet?

Speaker 113 I found myself doing it.

Speaker 122 Yeah, I'm now thinking, I just want to apologize.

Speaker 54 I just moved out of my apartment that I had been renting from one Matt Risch.

Speaker 104 And I just want to say apologies, dude. That plunger is covered in poop.

Speaker 87 You could have rinsed it.

Speaker 104 No, I couldn't have because I didn't.

Speaker 81 I didn't know you.

Speaker 22 I didn't have you here to tell me what to do.

Speaker 126 Morning TV is so important.

Speaker 127 But I could never talk about poop-covered plunger on morning TV.

Speaker 128 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 100 This is why I'm so happy to be here.

Speaker 38 I feel like I can finally breathe because I'm with my sister and this is not morning TV.

Speaker 96 Although people do listen to it in the morning.

Speaker 134 Can you imagine?

Speaker 48 Listening to us in the morning? No.

Speaker 82 No.

Speaker 65 I would say, well, I guess maybe if you want to be like shocked into the day.

Speaker 78 I mean, get the fag off the airwaves.

Speaker 68 I'm not listening to that.

Speaker 39 You know what I almost did today is my I don't think so, honey?

Speaker 107 I don't think so, honey, that this podcast has become popular.

Speaker 55 I just feel like

Speaker 38 maybe I will do it later.

Speaker 55 Do it later.

Speaker 39 Because then people are like, why are they screaming during I Don't Think So, honey?

Speaker 74 And I'm like, babe, you're You're joining us in progress.

Speaker 68 I just cut you off. I'm never gonna believe this was an off-Broadway show in New York.

Speaker 139 Can I say you literally did not cut me off?

Speaker 55 I feel like I diverted well your feelings aren't facts bitch.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 141 your feelings aren't facts bitch.

Speaker 97 That's really close to number 12.

Speaker 77 Hey Trump, your feelings aren't facts.

Speaker 68 Watch that be the headline.

Speaker 142 I would love that.

Speaker 104 Yeah, I mean, should Lost Coach start a feud with Trump?

Speaker 38 We have to move to Ireland like Rosie.

Speaker 58 Well, listen.

Speaker 64 So what do you scream for?

Speaker 68 I scream for this off-Broadway show that's been in New York for a few years now.

Speaker 111 It has been truly a community-building cornerstone for theater, for theater goers, for people in the community, for tourists from all over the world.

Speaker 68 My own mother saw this show. And

Speaker 68 I would never take my mom to any Broadway show. She slept through Hamilton.

Speaker 96 See, I don't get that because it's so loud.

Speaker 145 It's a loud show, but we went on a Sunday after an SNL and we were all tired.

Speaker 118 Lin Manuel, this has nothing to do with you. This has nothing to do with you, Linux.

Speaker 74 So you did amazing work on Hamilton.

Speaker 132 It's actually really cool.

Speaker 74 You're number 13.

Speaker 136 Lin Manuel, you did amazing work on Hamilton.

Speaker 63 It has nothing to do with you.

Speaker 126 That his mom fell asleep.

Speaker 63 But listen, I think I know what show you're talking about, and that show is Titanique.

Speaker 26 And I know that because, well, our guest is not only one of the original stars of it, but also the co-creator, co-writer.

Speaker 63 And I feel as though I have to harken back to the very first time I saw our guest, which was at La Poisson-Rouge

Speaker 133 in an

Speaker 72 iconic production of Cruel Intentions, the musical, unauthorized,

Speaker 149 which also starred Amanda Schechtman.

Speaker 39 She was playing Sarah Michelle Geller, and our guest was playing Ryan Philippi.

Speaker 151 And one of the first things I ever saw was your bare ass.

Speaker 48 And now he shows his ass every goddamn night

Speaker 80 out in public.

Speaker 135 But no, this is like truly a moment in time because we saw this show, Titanique, and we were literally took to the mics and just let everybody know.

Speaker 95 And I've been so proud to see what it's done.

Speaker 154 I just saw it in the West End. It's in Australia.

Speaker 131 It's in Canada. It's like, it's all over the place.

Speaker 154 I mean, this is a true success story.

Speaker 101 It's now an Olivier award-winning musical. Our guest is an Olivier award winner.

Speaker 78 Drama desk, Lucia Lortel.

Speaker 98 Come on, all of them.

Speaker 104 The ones except Tony's until they get their shit.

Speaker 39 But they kind of just nailed it on some of the nominations.

Speaker 20 What to say?

Speaker 158 We can talk about that.

Speaker 90 We can talk about that.

Speaker 159 He's so wonderful.

Speaker 162 What a funny writer, performer, talent, friend, traveler, world traveler.

Speaker 25 We'll talk about this.

Speaker 147 Always around the world.

Speaker 68 Always around the world with his hot little friends.

Speaker 56 Everyone says something to your ears. Constantine Rizzoli.

Speaker 163 Oh, my God.

Speaker 69 First of all, LOL to that introduction.

Speaker 54 I am so gooped and gagged to be here with my girls.

Speaker 139 We forgot to say the big news, which is

Speaker 130 that Titanic, you can see it in New York until June 15th.

Speaker 39 And then do you want to tell them what's so special about those final weeks?

Speaker 104 Yeah, hot off the press, everyone.

Speaker 54 Hot off the press.

Speaker 166 Marla Mandel and I will be coming back into the show for the final two weeks.

Speaker 172 And if we, you know, sell out lots and lots and lots of tickets, maybe we'll pull a Phantom of the Opera and extend for another six months.

Speaker 67 Is there a way to say that on this show?

Speaker 160 I don't know.

Speaker 91 We'll see.

Speaker 163 Maybe, you know, all of these lost cults people who

Speaker 171 listen

Speaker 77 can figure it out.

Speaker 37 There's now so many readers, Katie's, publicists, and finalists.

Speaker 96 And I think that, Ken Kyles, you have an opportunity here.

Speaker 175 You have a big opportunity. Yes.

Speaker 139 Because how many times did you do it in the new space, the bigger space?

Speaker 163 The bigger space, like a year, a year.

Speaker 102 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 177 Because it was like half a year.

Speaker 156 It was like six months at the old UCB space

Speaker 178 that you guys know, the asylum,

Speaker 126 you know, in the basement of Gristides, which was wild, just mold rats.

Speaker 100 It smelled awful.

Speaker 157 It was

Speaker 69 really bad. But you know what?

Speaker 180 It was like our favorite time. Yeah.

Speaker 119 Where were your dress?

Speaker 78 Like, where did you guys do changes?

Speaker 156 And where was, what was the dressing room?

Speaker 181 Behind the curtain.

Speaker 180 Literally, or in like a closet.

Speaker 67 But there's no space.

Speaker 180 No, there's not absolutely nothing.

Speaker 177 It was those two rooms and we split all the boys in one and all the girls in one.

Speaker 87 Right. And then there were the guts, like those gray brick hallways, not brick even.

Speaker 68 It was just like those, but those were the smelly parts.

Speaker 167 That was gross.

Speaker 55 It was like there was always an inch of water on the floor.

Speaker 151 Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 112 It was the actual Titanic.

Speaker 176 Oh, I was like, ooh, this is very on-brand.

Speaker 126 Let's go here.

Speaker 68 Weren't there like Grassides basement-specific jokes in the original show?

Speaker 102 Yes.

Speaker 172 At the end of the show, Marla would say, thank you all for coming tonight in the basement of Gristides.

Speaker 182 And then we had to switch it, you know, when we left.

Speaker 54 When you moved to the middle.

Speaker 167 When we moved to the Daryl Roth Theater, which is in Union Square.

Speaker 100 Yes, I knew that.

Speaker 55 Fuerza Bruta.

Speaker 133 So I went to Fuerza Bruta.

Speaker 108 Oh, oh my God, I just said the Fuerza Bruta shook.

Speaker 113 Oh my God, the one.

Speaker 143 Fuerza is watching.

Speaker 149 The ghost. The ghost of Fuerza.

Speaker 174 What is Fuerza Bruta?

Speaker 184 I don't remember. All I remember is taking

Speaker 179 a gummy, and I was so, can I curse?

Speaker 90 Yeah, come on.

Speaker 59 It's iHeartRadio.

Speaker 184 I was so fucking high that I looked up and remember they had this like water crazy thing.

Speaker 17 I never saw it.

Speaker 182 Okay, well, anyway, there was this immersive, crazy, no one knows what it is.

Speaker 184 They're up in the rafters in this water thing. And I thought I was A, drowning.

Speaker 185 Yeah.

Speaker 111 B panic attacked.

Speaker 177 C immediately left and got food.

Speaker 75 And got food. You got to go.

Speaker 186 And put myself in public because I was like, I've got to get it.

Speaker 95 I've got to get the fuck out of Forezabrita before I drown.

Speaker 187 Before I drown and die. Meanwhile, I'm on the floor.

Speaker 188 Like, get it together quick.

Speaker 55 It happens sometimes.

Speaker 22 I remember one time I was too high in the pool and I had to get out because I was positive I was going to be attacked by a shark.

Speaker 140 That's these gummies.

Speaker 163 Babe, I think that was meth.

Speaker 68 That was meth. Sorry, babe.

Speaker 55 That was a meth gummy.

Speaker 189 That was a meth attack.

Speaker 78 With a Vy-vance pill damped inside.

Speaker 55 A little rainbow sprinkle.

Speaker 68 Y'all don't fuck with water, though, but y'all are so tied to water in so many ways.

Speaker 162 Titanium, being Greek, being Greek.

Speaker 55 Sister.

Speaker 206 That is a Demon Twinks dream come true.

Speaker 106 Like, Lollapalooza.

Speaker 44 Listen, I don't take it for granted, honey, okay?

Speaker 55 It's

Speaker 84 actually true.

Speaker 74 You are tying it all together.

Speaker 126 Yeah, the mentally ill, broke ass version.

Speaker 79 Cool.

Speaker 44 Stop.

Speaker 180 Holler at me.

Speaker 172 At Constantine Rizzulia.

Speaker 55 They will. You know they will.

Speaker 111 They will. They holler.

Speaker 63 They holler.

Speaker 68 You come up on my hinge a lot because it's like, these are like, these are the hot guys

Speaker 77 top shelf.

Speaker 114 Anyone say hello? How?

Speaker 67 Well, because I'm like, first of all, someone I know, it's like, no, I know.

Speaker 118 It's so weird.

Speaker 110 It's weird.

Speaker 67 And also,

Speaker 215 it's a weird thing because some people then take it because you've done this before.

Speaker 184 When you've like see a friend, you're like, hey, stupid.

Speaker 200 I see you.

Speaker 179 And you're like, whatever.

Speaker 17 And then it stays at that.

Speaker 170 Then there's other people who take it too far and they're like, wow, actually, Matt is really into me.

Speaker 177 And then you're like, wait, actually, that was a joke.

Speaker 146 I'm

Speaker 187 equal. And then you have to.

Speaker 55 I don't know. I know.

Speaker 41 You can't even be like too clear about it.

Speaker 68 You can't clarify, by the way,

Speaker 68 I am attracted to you, but I don't think we would be a good match.

Speaker 120 It's like, but why would you, like, why would you?

Speaker 100 I'll give you a call later.

Speaker 61 Hey, I know that we just did this crazy bid on Hinge, but this is me really calling to say I'd be down.

Speaker 44 I get less.

Speaker 61 That's crazy.

Speaker 217 I get less demisexual as I get older because they just value my friendship so much.

Speaker 65 So do I.

Speaker 55 You know what I'm saying? So do I.

Speaker 74 But it's hard.

Speaker 65 It's a hard thing to figure out when you're a gay guy with fun, cool, attractive friends because, of course,

Speaker 218 it's really hard to be a gay guy with fun, cool, attractive friends.

Speaker 98 I know. It's so hard.

Speaker 55 Look at us.

Speaker 133 What I mean is like, it's, what I mean is it's like, it's a difficult thing mentally because it's like, you sort of get in your head of like, okay, well, why not?

Speaker 39 Well, then it's like, and friendships are important.

Speaker 48 Of course. You know what I mean?

Speaker 63 And it's like, it's like I said to a friend recently, I was talking about like a mutual friend of ours. And I was like, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 154 I just had kind of a thought.

Speaker 39 And my friend goes, you know what that is?

Speaker 203 Friendship.

Speaker 48 That's actually okay.

Speaker 148 And I was like, okay, yeah.

Speaker 39 It doesn't have to be a thing I do gymnastics in my head about.

Speaker 132 You know what I mean?

Speaker 65 Sometimes it's like, yeah, I have a friend that I'm like a little attracted to and it's my friend and I can have that boundary.

Speaker 55 Absolutely.

Speaker 68 How long, what's the tradition of you and Jake and Gus and like, and like those pals probably,

Speaker 177 my besties.

Speaker 55 Your besties. You guys have to be the crew.

Speaker 147 You guys are always having a blast.

Speaker 219 I know we are. It's just they're monsters.

Speaker 177 They're truly absolute monsters.

Speaker 179 And I wish them nothing but negativity.

Speaker 82 Yeah.

Speaker 70 That's a shout out to you on that.

Speaker 91 That's a shout out to my girls, my Hermanas.

Speaker 88 We have our thread as sisters.

Speaker 177 We're all getting tattoos.

Speaker 179 I say Hermanas, but like one's getting her, I'm Ma.

Speaker 199 And I think Gus is not

Speaker 75 LOL. Can you believe it?

Speaker 113 He's like, and then we put them together and be like, you guys, okay.

Speaker 96 Someone's taking a side in the battle against Jay-Z.

Speaker 86 Please, welcome to the stage.

Speaker 177 Yeah, they're the best. I mean, they're my brothers.

Speaker 192 Like, they're the brothers I never had.

Speaker 182 I've known Jake for like 20 years now, which is insane.

Speaker 191 We met

Speaker 200 on Facebook because everybody said we used to look alike, which we do.

Speaker 177 When we have the same hair, we're like very twinning.

Speaker 87 Twinning.

Speaker 195 But back in the day when we were actual twinks,

Speaker 213 people would stop me on the street and be like, are you Jake Wilson?

Speaker 187 Yeah. Go Big Blue.

Speaker 162 And I'm like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 120 And then they go to him and they're like, are you Constantine Rasuli?

Speaker 170 And he's like, who is that?

Speaker 213 And then he found me on Facebook and he's like, whoa, I think we should go out for a drink.

Speaker 98 And then he

Speaker 177 myspace.

Speaker 67 My space.

Speaker 76 Stroke.

Speaker 176 Then he Facebooks me and he's like, let's go out for a drink.

Speaker 220 And I'm like, okay. I was like, everybody says we look alike.

Speaker 192 Doppelganger.

Speaker 177 I met him.

Speaker 186 We go to Wait for This, Bourbon Street, 46th Street.

Speaker 59 Remember that place? Wow.

Speaker 54 Yeah, back in the day.

Speaker 89 Dating in that area.

Speaker 152 Go to sleep. No, can't.

Speaker 84 No.

Speaker 139 Too much thumping.

Speaker 177 So yeah, yeah, that's how we met.

Speaker 179 And I was like, LOL, you are rich and we'll never date.

Speaker 17 And then, you know, years later, we cross paths again.

Speaker 74 So wait, you went on a date, though, initially?

Speaker 183 Initially, and I was like, haha, this is fun.

Speaker 173 Cool.

Speaker 135 Bye.

Speaker 74 So there was no smooching?

Speaker 139 Nothing.

Speaker 179 And then two years later, I'm on tour with Legally Blonde in LA.

Speaker 67 Who were you in Legally Blonde?

Speaker 177 I was Nicos,

Speaker 179 that one. And then I Warner after.

Speaker 55 So yeah. Wow.
So I'm doing it all.

Speaker 153 Connie.

Speaker 167 Yeah, with no career.

Speaker 82 You better,

Speaker 135 because wait, okay, so you guys meet up two years later.

Speaker 184 Two years later, my roommate at the time and other like very good friend Courtney, she was like, hey, my best friend from college is coming.

Speaker 173 And I was like, yeah, cool, whatever. He can stay in our apartment.

Speaker 198 And she goes, well, there's no bed.

Speaker 220 So like, you have a king-size bed. So I guess he's going to have to stay in your room.

Speaker 73 And I was like, Courtney, that's crazy.

Speaker 82 Courtney, take your break.

Speaker 121 Literally.

Speaker 173 And then she was like, I was like, who is it?

Speaker 198 And she's like, oh, it's Jake Wilson.

Speaker 93 And I was like, are you kidding me?

Speaker 170 I was like, that guy who's like my doppelganger.

Speaker 59 Okay, okay.

Speaker 180 Then she shows up to LA like a bat out of hell, comes into like, into the fucking Oakwood Suite apartments.

Speaker 184 And I was like, hun, what is happening?

Speaker 169 And then, you know,

Speaker 184 besties ever since slept in my bed.

Speaker 176 We'd like to turn, it was like one of those like movies.

Speaker 163 And I was like,

Speaker 162 I think we're going to be best friends ever.

Speaker 167 And then we were like, kickle, like, ki, ki, gaggle.

Speaker 55 Oh, I love it.

Speaker 93 It was the best ever.

Speaker 169 And then Gus came in, you know, 10 years later.

Speaker 177 Yeah.

Speaker 196 And just wreaked havoc.

Speaker 102 Yeah, sure. Yeah.

Speaker 44 Y'all, three of y'all are the best.

Speaker 55 It's the best.

Speaker 78 but there's like the right amount of chaos there from each of you.

Speaker 228 A holiday movie marathon is streaming in the living room.

Speaker 41 Your kid is video chatting their friends friends from their tablet, and your partner is shopping for too many gifts and cinnamon candles.

Speaker 145 Ah!

Speaker 223 Not this season, not with Xfinity Wi-Fi.

Speaker 148 With Xfinity, you can boost the Wi-Fi to your device only.

Speaker 22 With Xfinity Wi-Fi, you can pause the kids' Wi-Fi and enjoy those special moments together.

Speaker 13 And if you're wondering what other parental instincts your Wi-Fi has during this busy season, Xfinity protects your kids when they're online so you know they're safe, even if you're busy making cocoa or taste testing cookies.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 46 Someone has to make sure there's exactly the same amount of chocolate chips in each cookie.

Speaker 243 And what if your Wi-Fi could proactively fix issues before they even happen?

Speaker 241 Well, that's exactly what Xfinity Wi-Fi does.

Speaker 36 Like the friend who shows up with extra wrapping paper, bows, and tape before you even realize you're out.

Speaker 239 Because let's be honest, you never buy enough.

Speaker 53 Bottom line, Xfinity Wi-Fi isn't just smart, it's brilliant. And during the holidays, that brilliance, that's a gift.

Speaker 3 Xfinity, imagine that.

Speaker 46 Who decides what you can do?

Speaker 50 Who gets to decide what you're capable of?

Speaker 246 Your boss? Your friends?

Speaker 6 Some stranger on the internet? No, no, and absolutely no.

Speaker 46 You decide.

Speaker 18 Only you.

Speaker 247 Ford shares that belief.

Speaker 248 It's like engineered into their vehicles.

Speaker 12 An F-150 is all steel, sweat, and dreams.

Speaker 227 Right? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 30 A Ford Bronco is built for adventure, but you've got to get behind the wheel.

Speaker 6 Can you?

Speaker 218 Yeah, you can, but you have to first.

Speaker 12 You have to.

Speaker 14 And a Mustang, the Mustang that conquers curves.

Speaker 49 You are more capable than you know.

Speaker 249 Like, for example, I never thought I could parallel park.

Speaker 230 I just thought it wasn't something that was going to happen for me in my life.

Speaker 249 And not everyone gets to have every experience, you know?

Speaker 218 But then, suddenly, I did a parallel park and I thought, wow. I'm going to apply to Harvard.
I didn't get in, but I did parallel Park.

Speaker 8 Sometimes you just need to push.

Speaker 47 What is it that they say?

Speaker 15 Whether you think you can or you think you can't.

Speaker 209 You're right.

Speaker 12 Ready, set,

Speaker 18 Ford.

Speaker 218 Visit Ford.com to learn more.

Speaker 19 You ever just stop in the middle of a crazy day and realize, wow, I needed a break.

Speaker 12 It literally happened to me yesterday.

Speaker 2 I cracked open a Diet Coke, sat back for five minutes.

Speaker 227 Total reset.

Speaker 235 Right?

Speaker 46 There's something about the crispy, refreshing taste of an ice-cold Diet Coke.

Speaker 252 It just hits.

Speaker 228 It's my little me moment, like make time for a Diet Coke break, you know?

Speaker 46 Exactly.

Speaker 218 Diet Coke is the perfect companion for all break moments.

Speaker 32 Diet Coke, this is my taste.

Speaker 94 Are you dating now?

Speaker 167 Single as hell.

Speaker 118 Single as hell.

Speaker 68 What do you want? What's on the list? What do you want?

Speaker 76 What do you want?

Speaker 68 I need to do a pros and cons list, and I feel like I've been told it's like the thing you're supposed to do, and I still haven't gotten around to doing it.

Speaker 120 So give us yours.

Speaker 177 Pros, be an actual human, Be a legit person.

Speaker 17 I need you to do the fucking work.

Speaker 184 Get up every day, meditate, go to therapy.

Speaker 179 I mean, know who you are.

Speaker 215 Have a great relationship with your family and friends.

Speaker 191 And

Speaker 213 just like respect yourself and respect people, love people, care about people.

Speaker 184 I don't know. Have something

Speaker 194 that

Speaker 170 makes you wake up every morning.

Speaker 86 Like, you're grateful for it.

Speaker 179 I want gratitude.

Speaker 184 I want a funny person.

Speaker 172 I want a kind, respectful human who gets it.

Speaker 54 Yeah.

Speaker 215 Just don't play games.

Speaker 156 Like these, these fucking gays are wild.

Speaker 167 Let me tell you. They're wild.

Speaker 184 And it's always like, what's around the corner?

Speaker 174 And it's like, you know what?

Speaker 219 How about you just look in front of you and get to know a human and like pull back a fucking layer instead of sitting there and being like, you're really cool for the moment.

Speaker 190 And then, but I'm completely looking around the corner.

Speaker 65 Well, that's like all of LA, which is why I moved back.

Speaker 126 Well, that's why, oh, I had to leave. You can't.

Speaker 165 You had to leave.

Speaker 115 You're a little incensed about this.

Speaker 187 I am. I'm pissed.
Yeah. No.

Speaker 67 Okay. So talk about this.

Speaker 48 Have you been given the runaround?

Speaker 51 Oh, for years.

Speaker 208 For years, the runaround.

Speaker 215 Or the ghosting is actually, can we not ghost?

Speaker 84 Can we not ghost?

Speaker 67 Why would someone ghost you?

Speaker 102 Because I feel like people, they think that they know what they want.

Speaker 254 They think that they're ready for a relationship where they're ready to, you know, open up and they have, it's.

Speaker 126 No idea. It's all bullshit.
You know, it's like, it's face value.

Speaker 180 It's, it's a facade.

Speaker 159 It's like, okay, I get it.

Speaker 177 You're insecure and this is how you go about.

Speaker 170 doing that, but you should also be respectful, human and say, I don't know, it's communication.

Speaker 207 If you're not feeling it, if you're asking asking me out and you're pursuing me and you've DM'd me and slid into my fucking DMs and found my phone number and sent a letter by stork, and then you have the audacity

Speaker 184 to not even respond after we go out on a date and it was actually good and you're telling me these things are like, wow, this was incredible.

Speaker 170 You're really an amazing person.

Speaker 177 I'm so happy we met. And then a full-on ghost.

Speaker 156 At least grow the fucking balls.

Speaker 77 We are too old.

Speaker 55 We are too old for the shit.

Speaker 198 You can easily, I would respect you

Speaker 169 so much more if you came to to me and said, hey, that was incredible.

Speaker 91 You're an amazing person.

Speaker 206 I just don't think we're a match.

Speaker 167 I would love to be friends.

Speaker 91 And if not, you know, I'm happy we got to do that.

Speaker 161 And I'd be like, you know what?

Speaker 205 Incredible. Thank you.

Speaker 39 And I have to say, like,

Speaker 74 I think people are doing it more than they were, but

Speaker 101 I get those messages and I'm not upset.

Speaker 54 Me neither.

Speaker 73 All I feel is fine about it.

Speaker 154 I'm like, wow, that's awesome.

Speaker 74 Maybe we could be friends.

Speaker 77 I do have a lot of friends.

Speaker 199 I have a lot of friends, but I'm happy you're honest and open Totally.

Speaker 197 Instead of, well, that's also coming from people who actually, you know, are not going to freak out and

Speaker 182 go insane because we're not insecure. Totally.

Speaker 177 So it's like, if you're like, you do the work, whatever.

Speaker 126 I would love to, I'd rather hear that.

Speaker 184 And I feel like the other people who are ghosting are so insecure that they're probably afraid of the other persons that's going to, they're going to yell at in confrontation.

Speaker 178 And it's like, I get it, but like you will be better off.

Speaker 197 Trust me, because I'm going to see your ass at a fucking party.

Speaker 187 Absolutely.

Speaker 190 And I'm going to see you all over New York City and or all over the world.

Speaker 102 Yeah.

Speaker 166 So

Speaker 77 why make it awkward?

Speaker 137 That's what sucks sometimes.

Speaker 154 The thing that chaps my ass is like how small the gay community is.

Speaker 133 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 55 Where it's like,

Speaker 39 yeah, I dated this person.

Speaker 63 It ended not well or whatever.

Speaker 65 I'm dealing with this.

Speaker 99 And someone was like, well, who is it?

Speaker 71 I'm like, you don't know him.

Speaker 218 They do.

Speaker 62 Who is it?

Speaker 39 And then I say the name and it's like, oh yeah, this person.

Speaker 147 And I'm just like, I'm in hell.

Speaker 74 Yeah. Because I'm just like, it makes you feel like you're in like a rat maze.

Speaker 107 You know what I mean?

Speaker 154 Like, no matter what, you're going to end up at like a dead end or like you're going to run out of like, which is a crazy thought.

Speaker 133 Yeah.

Speaker 74 But I do think it's worse in LA than New York.

Speaker 39 Like my bit is like, there's like 6 million gays in New York and 33 in Los Angeles.

Speaker 74 Like, so broadening scope in terms of dating has become like important to me because I kind of do want ultimately my partner to be someone that's like my partner.

Speaker 57 Like I don't really want to hear about their history.

Speaker 127 No. You know what I'm saying? Totally.

Speaker 182 Yeah, because there can be 100 days in a room.

Speaker 186 And if 99

Speaker 95 and 99 have fucked each other.

Speaker 98 99 literally have all fucked each other.

Speaker 61 That's a little culture number 15.

Speaker 98 There could be 100 days in a room and 99 have fucked each other.

Speaker 65 But it only takes one to believe in you, and that's Broutie Cooper.

Speaker 62 Well, yes.

Speaker 55 No, wait. Hard lunch with Gigi, though.

Speaker 133 Hard launch with Gigi.

Speaker 95 Wait, to spell the rumors, they hard-launched their relationship on one of those.

Speaker 19 So she posted a carousel, and it was number 18 in the carousel.

Speaker 122 We just talked about

Speaker 59 it. I hate

Speaker 104 you good sis you good sis carousel i don't find out i'm having a full-blown stroke both of you i had strokes today this morning i mean god forbid but literally you just got off

Speaker 38 hermana should go to orlando

Speaker 98 orlando

Speaker 100 why haven't you been in that show

Speaker 170 I originally auditioned for it to be, what's his face, his standby?

Speaker 90 Andrew Reynolds? Andrew Reynolds.

Speaker 127 And Andrew actually got me the audition.

Speaker 76 Oh, I love it.

Speaker 177 And then I went in, but it was, or he had told him, he was like, you should really see Connie for this.

Speaker 178 But it was like back in the day when I was so young.

Speaker 170 And it was the time when they weren't giving scripts out to anybody.

Speaker 70 I don't like that.

Speaker 91 So I had to go in at 10 a.m., learn that crazy song.

Speaker 167 That's stupid.

Speaker 91 And then they're like, bye, see you at noon or two when you audition in front of the whole team without knowing any material.

Speaker 184 You're just like, have fun, like sight read this, and then here's, here's the side, and just cold read.

Speaker 196 I was like, are you kidding me?

Speaker 144 And then they were like,

Speaker 172 you're not the right type of funny.

Speaker 220 And I said, are you?

Speaker 97 You're not the right type of funny.

Speaker 161 I go, I am comedy.

Speaker 73 It's like you've become Fannie Bryce.

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 61 I'll show you.

Speaker 59 Ah, Pratfa.

Speaker 133 I'm like, why would you, why would you, see, that's a devastating thing to be told that you're not the right kind of funny.

Speaker 256 I know.

Speaker 174 Isn't that sad? Do you?

Speaker 212 That was the Book of Mormon.

Speaker 193 We missed if people were missing.

Speaker 60 They did miss it, of course, but they No,

Speaker 177 it was too, Andrew was incredible.

Speaker 194 All of them were incredible.

Speaker 76 Oh, too fucking high.

Speaker 192 I am a high baritone, okay?

Speaker 184 I'm not going to pussy pop these notes and have a mental breakdown.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 167 Eight shows a week on stage to be like, I believe.

Speaker 157 Like, I'm not going to do it a lot.

Speaker 187 It's crazy. It's too.

Speaker 161 I'm like, also, can we lower the keys for men?

Speaker 197 That's an I don't think Tony that I'm going to get to later.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 102 Yeah.

Speaker 178 The jig is up.

Speaker 206 We all do not have to be screaming fucking like mixy bitches.

Speaker 65 Bowen just said no.

Speaker 59 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 128 Bowen is a counter-temper.

Speaker 59 No, no, I know.

Speaker 69 I know.

Speaker 72 First of all, you said something so pressing the other day, which is being born with an AMAB voice is a curse.

Speaker 121 It's true. It's true.

Speaker 54 It's true.

Speaker 98 Did we make that a hollow culture?

Speaker 67 We did not make that a rule of culture.

Speaker 86 Being born with an AMAB voice is a curse.

Speaker 104 We're off to the races on rules today.

Speaker 118 Absolutely.

Speaker 207 The rules are coming in hot.

Speaker 67 Can I say something, though?

Speaker 68 Someone commented, and I just, I just, I made the mistake of reading the comments on the sketch I did with Gaga where we sang Wonderful Tonight and someone was like Bowen's only Bowman's only a scream singer and I'm like

Speaker 68 how dare you I just can I just pull back the curtain and say that I am proud of myself for just being present with

Speaker 68 One of our great rehearsers, Lady Gaga.

Speaker 68 She wanted to run that song a bajillion times and we delayed rehearsals for it because I was like, no, we're getting this right because she looks at me and she goes, I think it'll be funnier if we're really good at it.

Speaker 67 And I said, absolutely.

Speaker 133 I always think that about musical comedy if it's it's

Speaker 51 so much funnier. I agree.

Speaker 133 And then we just, we had to find the, we like

Speaker 68 auditioned like seven different keys and I somehow kept my shit together next to Stephanie Germanada. And I was like, I'm with you wherever you want to go.

Speaker 145 And whatever.

Speaker 68 I'm not like, I'm only bringing this up because the keys are hard and any, any AMAB voice that has to adapt to a key is doing a lot of, a lot of emotional labor just for, for themselves and the audience.

Speaker 68 And I'm just saying that Gaga was fucking incredible.

Speaker 55 First of all,

Speaker 250 that was not

Speaker 36 easy and it was not scream singing.

Speaker 80 I actually was impressed by how effortless it felt.

Speaker 96 Like you were kind of just like tossing it up there and I was just like really proud of you.

Speaker 68 But the last time I felt that way that I was like tossing it up was at Chromatica Ball.

Speaker 107 Well, you want to know why? Because when you're on mushrooms, you're the best singer in the world.

Speaker 139 It's actually local number 16.

Speaker 147 When you're on mushrooms, you're the best singer in the world. Did you hear that?

Speaker 120 Yep. What?

Speaker 68 So you're, would you say counter baritone?

Speaker 91 No, I'm a high baritone.

Speaker 68 High baritone. Sorry, sorry.

Speaker 171 I mean, I like, with a fierce mix, though, like, my mix is unbelievable.

Speaker 174 But, yeah, but like, everybody's like screaming

Speaker 67 it.

Speaker 183 And they're like, can you full voice that?

Speaker 177 I'm like, how about you full voice your

Speaker 55 own

Speaker 55 foot in your ass?

Speaker 77 Yeah, have you shut up?

Speaker 63 I wrote a lot of my Christmas music when I was 27.

Speaker 59 And which is genius, by the way.

Speaker 55 You can tell.

Speaker 77 You can fucking tell.

Speaker 38 What do you mean?

Speaker 86 Because like lube for the sleigh, my song,

Speaker 118 the bridge is a belted, like ooh vowel on lube.

Speaker 143 It's just like, it's it's crazy.

Speaker 80 Totally, totally.

Speaker 39 And you know what's funny is it's like, I didn't realize I didn't know how to sing my own music until I started with a voice coach and it broke it all open for me.

Speaker 55 Now I like love going there, like warming up your voice.

Speaker 101 Good.

Speaker 175 Do you stay on top of your vocal health?

Speaker 76 I do.

Speaker 169 I mean, yes and no.

Speaker 178 I mean, I feel like after doing eight shows a week is, is insane.

Speaker 177 And you're just like mentally and physically drained. So you're like, I need like a month or two off between gigs or like whatever.

Speaker 184 But yeah, I mean, there's definitely those moments where you have to be on it. Like, I'll always check.
It's like a sick and sick and twisted space that you wake up and you're like, hmm, hmm.

Speaker 57 Yeah.

Speaker 177 You wake up every day and you're like, I have to check.

Speaker 184 Even it's like three months the show's done. You're like, oh, I'm still checking to see if my voice is there.

Speaker 194 It's just a mental, it's crazy.

Speaker 146 Sure.

Speaker 165 We call it musical theater mental illness, but

Speaker 112 it's wonderful.

Speaker 78 It's not mentally, it's not mental illness.

Speaker 167 It's, no, it's, but you got to stay on it for sure.

Speaker 118 You're keeping your chops up.

Speaker 91 Yeah. I mean, you don't know when, you know,

Speaker 192 Broadway is going to call and say, hey, you're, you're on.

Speaker 167 It's time to shred, bitch.

Speaker 177 Time to shred, bitch.

Speaker 184 I mean, this literally just happened after pandemic. Do you remember like the height of Broadway coming back and everything was canceled?

Speaker 93 Everybody was getting COVID for the eighth time.

Speaker 76 Right, right, right, right.

Speaker 179 Like trying to get these shows back open and blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 170 I hadn't done Wicked for seven years.

Speaker 165 And I got a phone call.

Speaker 184 It's Christmas Eve, like two days before Christmas Eve.

Speaker 219 And I'm back in Jersey at my mom's and I'm at the the gym because, you know, got to get the workout done before the Christmas spirit.

Speaker 162 Of course.

Speaker 91 So I go to the gym up the street and I get a phone call from my stage manager from Wicked, who I hadn't spoken to in forever, Mary Beth Abel, who I love.

Speaker 170 And she was like, ah, she calls me Stan, Constantine.

Speaker 180 If you guys didn't catch that.

Speaker 156 So then she literally calls me.

Speaker 127 She goes,

Speaker 193 Stan, and I go.

Speaker 57 MB.

Speaker 173 She goes, what are you doing?

Speaker 195 I was like, what are you doing?

Speaker 260 She's like, well, what are you doing?

Speaker 208 I was like, I'm at the gym.

Speaker 206 She's like, so do you want to come back into the show tomorrow night?

Speaker 83 And I was like, tomorrow night?

Speaker 182 I was like, what?

Speaker 200 No, not even to be VRO because I first started as the understudy.

Speaker 216 And she goes, in your original track from

Speaker 88 12 years, 12 years.

Speaker 184 It had been like 12 years, but I hadn't been back in the show for like seven.

Speaker 254 Seven. Got it.

Speaker 183 And I was like, ma'am, you want me to put that skirt track on?

Speaker 259 And you want me to like, I don't know, lift a bitch, stage right for In the Dark and be a cog in a wheel.

Speaker 146 And she was like, Yep.

Speaker 203 Yep, basically.

Speaker 176 She's like, You remember it, right?

Speaker 174 I was like, Are you kidding me? She goes, You'll be fine.

Speaker 220 I marched my ass to that theater, got back into my old costumes, because the best thing about Wicked is these motherfuckers have your costumes in crazy Ziploc bags in a warehouse.

Speaker 93 And they just call an assistant.

Speaker 184 They're like, get Connie Rasuli's costume from circa 2010, blah, blah, blah, shoes and all, literally in a beautiful package.

Speaker 88 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 184 Blaid out on this dressing room table. And you're like, wait, this is it.
LOL, am I going to fit into this?

Speaker 177 Because I was a twink back then.

Speaker 9 You did.

Speaker 179 You know what? I had a fat ass and a bad attitude and I went right into it.

Speaker 192 Wow.

Speaker 79 Great attitude.

Speaker 182 Great attitude. No, it was great.

Speaker 184 But it was crazy. I was like, this is psychotic.

Speaker 210 Speaking of, you know, just getting random phone calls and having to be ready to be ready.

Speaker 161 Well, oh my God.

Speaker 68 You're describing two impossible situations, one involving sight reading, which is that's an NOC. That was crazy.

Speaker 177 True. I don't read music.
So I just like, I

Speaker 55 am one of those. I don't even understand what they like.

Speaker 135 My thing is like, okay, so, and probably this is a little bit the deal, but it's like, do you want it to be good or do you want it to be not good?

Speaker 81 And maybe sometimes they want it to be not good so they can just like like invalidate people.

Speaker 77 But like, that's so awesome.

Speaker 133 Can you speak a little bit?

Speaker 89 What is what the fuck is auditioning for musical theater?

Speaker 73 I did it twice and I literally have to kill myself.

Speaker 76 It is little, it's hell.

Speaker 170 They give you like 87 fucking packets of material and like, ha ha, learn this in one day.

Speaker 179 And you're like, wait a second, I have to now, back in the day when we started, I had to hire a pianist, get,

Speaker 200 put it down on a stupid like voice.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 212 And time. Money and time.

Speaker 184 And like, you know, going to just hire a penis is like at least $100.

Speaker 210 And I'm like, cool, can you just play this for me and like plunk this out so I can learn it within four hours?

Speaker 206 I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 184 They give you the stuff and then they want you to be as off book as possible.

Speaker 254 So it's like you're epically going in and failing.

Speaker 68 So challenge.

Speaker 159 That's so, that's such a setup.

Speaker 183 And then if like, you're like, wow, I'm really good for this part.

Speaker 170 I remember being like, oh, wow, this is really something that I'm dying to do and I'm really good for it.

Speaker 102 And it's just written musically a little bit too high. Right.

Speaker 206 Because the person who did it in the fucking workshop or the reading, you know, has a higher voice than you.

Speaker 200 And there's this thing in musical theater that the higher you sing, the better vocalists you are.

Speaker 196 And we have to stop that narrow.

Speaker 77 Yeah.

Speaker 184 And it makes me crazy because like, well, all these little like Mow Mixie girls who are like screaming tits, they're like, she's the best voice in the world.

Speaker 256 I'm like, she sounds generic as hell.

Speaker 161 hell.

Speaker 256 You sound basic. You sound like

Speaker 200 Sir Mix a lot.

Speaker 193 Mighty Mouse. I don't want to hear that.

Speaker 205 Like, where's my, give me a Bernadette Peters? Give me, like,

Speaker 114 give me a legitimate Audrey.

Speaker 98 Give me a.

Speaker 205 Give me like Carol Channing. I don't know.
Give me a fucking actor again.

Speaker 164 Like give me somebody who can act the fuck out of something and then be able to sing and then put it in their key.

Speaker 256 So that's why when I wrote Titanic, I said, I never want anybody in this business.

Speaker 55 I'm looking at you.

Speaker 184 Okay.

Speaker 212 to come in for me if I ever write another musical again.

Speaker 146 I want you to.

Speaker 54 I want them to feel as comfortable as possible because I never want that feeling of like, I am so right for this, but I just can't stand it.

Speaker 208 What key do you want it in?

Speaker 17 I'd be like, hey, you're incredible. I want you.

Speaker 214 So

Speaker 184 what is going to be so comfortable for you eight shows a week?

Speaker 200 I want you to be able to sing that.

Speaker 127 I could cry.

Speaker 67 Literally, I was like, And people would be like, I've never been in a room like this before.

Speaker 146 And I was like, I know.

Speaker 184 I've been there and I've had like full-on crazy panic attacks after being like, I, you know, I fucked myself and I'll never get seen for this casting director again.

Speaker 215 And they saw the worst of me because I was too high and I cracked.

Speaker 88 And like, then you just go through a spiral and then you hate your instrument.

Speaker 171 And you're like, no, no, no, you should love your instrument.

Speaker 198 Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 163 This is what you were like blessed with.

Speaker 55 Yeah. So like, I don't know.

Speaker 172 I want to show you the actual true self of my, of, you know, my voice and my talent.

Speaker 220 So like.

Speaker 198 having a fucking key and changing it is not a big deal.

Speaker 153 No.

Speaker 55 I don't think so, honey.

Speaker 59 Wait a minute.

Speaker 54 That's like round of applause.

Speaker 101 I mean, that was really important.

Speaker 261 I remember, like, like, Henry is so, and like, these, these musical directors, they can do it.

Speaker 202 They can. You know what I mean?

Speaker 172 But it's their ego too. They're like, no, it's going to sound better like that.

Speaker 174 And they just, then

Speaker 172 they fight you.

Speaker 177 And I'm like, hey, actually,

Speaker 114 to the naked ear. Yeah.
Sorry, babe.

Speaker 115 Yeah.

Speaker 256 No one's going to know the difference. Yeah, no.

Speaker 184 If you lower this half a step.

Speaker 182 No one's going to know because in your voice, in your voice, whatever key is going to be your climactic belt or like the climax of the song is going to sound unbelievable because it's in your context.

Speaker 77 It's in context of

Speaker 184 the song and it's in context of

Speaker 185 your talent and of your gift.

Speaker 102 It's like, hello. Yeah.

Speaker 171 No one knows if I'm hitting a fucking A or a D.

Speaker 65 Unless they're like those people with like perfect pitch that are like, that want to tell you about it.

Speaker 84 Yeah.

Speaker 67 I don't mean, I don't need to know.

Speaker 59 Yeah, I don't need to know.

Speaker 59 Can I say something?

Speaker 55 Yeah, I don't need to know.

Speaker 149 I don't need to know that you have perfect pitch. It's actually real culture number 17.

Speaker 55 I don't need to know that you have perfect pitch.

Speaker 61 That's great.

Speaker 216 And that's on period.

Speaker 39 And that's on period and culture.

Speaker 233 What if your Wi-Fi wasn't just Wi-Fi, but the magic holding your whole holiday together?

Speaker 234 Well, with Xfinity Wi-Fi, it kind of is.

Speaker 235 Picture this.

Speaker 237 Powered by their best, most elite, high-performing tech, this Wi-Fi doesn't just connect devices, it keeps the peace at home during the most wonderful and most stressful time of the year.

Speaker 52 It's kind of like having a little holiday helper helper working behind the scenes, making sure the holiday playlist never skips the beat and the video call with grandma doesn't freeze mid-cookie tutorial.

Speaker 232 It's Wi-Fi that keeps your whole home connected so you can actually enjoy the holiday magic.

Speaker 204 Chaos free.

Speaker 241 The best present of all.

Speaker 10 Let me paint a picture for you.

Speaker 43 A holiday movie marathon is streaming in the living room.

Speaker 41 Your kid is video chatting their friends from their tablet, and your partner is shopping for too many gifts and cinnamon candles.

Speaker 145 Ah!

Speaker 223 Not this season, not with Xfinity Wi-Fi.

Speaker 148 With Xfinity, you can boost the Wi-Fi to your device only.

Speaker 46 So when you go to upload 200 photos of that cat in a cute little Santa hat, you won't see that dreaded failed to upload message.

Speaker 37 Not this season, not with Xfinity Wi-Fi.

Speaker 242 And what if you had a way to make sure family time during the holidays had zero distractions?

Speaker 22 With Xfinity Wi-Fi, you can pause the kids' Wi-Fi and enjoy those special moments together.

Speaker 13 And if you're wondering what other parental instincts your Wi-Fi has during this busy season, Xfinity protects your kids when they're online so you know they're safe, even if you're busy making cocoa or taste testing cookies.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 46 Someone has to make sure there's exactly the same amount of chocolate chips in each cookie.

Speaker 243 And what if your Wi-Fi could proactively fix issues before they even happen?

Speaker 241 Well, that's exactly what Xfinity Wi-Fi does.

Speaker 36 Like the friend who shows up with extra wrapping paper, bows, and tape before you even realize you're out.

Speaker 239 Because let's be honest, you never buy enough.

Speaker 53 Bottom line, Xfinity Wi-Fi isn't just smart, it's brilliant. And during the holidays, that brilliance, that's a gift.

Speaker 3 Xfinity, imagine that.

Speaker 46 Who decides what you can do?

Speaker 50 Who gets to decide what you're capable of?

Speaker 246 Your boss? Your friends?

Speaker 6 Some stranger on the internet? No, no, and absolutely no.

Speaker 46 You decide.

Speaker 18 Only you.

Speaker 247 Ford shares that belief.

Speaker 248 It's like engineered into their vehicles.

Speaker 12 An F-150 is all steel, sweat, and dreams.

Speaker 227 Right? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 30 A Ford Bronco is built for adventure, but you've got to get behind the wheel.

Speaker 6 Can you?

Speaker 209 Yeah, you can.

Speaker 218 But you have to first.

Speaker 12 You have to.

Speaker 14 And a Mustang?

Speaker 145 The Mustang that conquers curves.

Speaker 49 You are more capable than you know.

Speaker 249 Like, for example, I never thought I could parallel park.

Speaker 236 I just thought it wasn't something that was going to happen for me in my life.

Speaker 250 And not everyone gets to have every experience, you know?

Speaker 218 But then, suddenly, I did a parallel park and I thought, wow, I'm going to apply to Harvard. I didn't get in, but I did parallel park.

Speaker 8 Sometimes you just need to push.

Speaker 47 What is it that they say?

Speaker 15 Whether you think you can or you think you can't?

Speaker 209 You're right.

Speaker 12 Ready, set,

Speaker 18 Ford.

Speaker 218 Visit Ford.com to learn more.

Speaker 19 You ever just stop in the middle of a crazy day and realize, wow, I needed a break.

Speaker 12 It literally happened to me yesterday.

Speaker 2 I cracked open a Diet Coke, sat back for five minutes.

Speaker 227 Total reset.

Speaker 235 Right?

Speaker 46 There's something about the crispy, refreshing taste of an ice-cold Diet Coke.

Speaker 252 It just hits.

Speaker 228 It's my little me moment, like make time for a Diet Coke break, you know?

Speaker 46 Exactly.

Speaker 5 Diet Coke is the perfect companion for all break moments.

Speaker 32 Diet Coke, this is my taste. Two questions.
What are you doing right now?

Speaker 5 And why aren't you on a Virgin Voyages Caribbean cruise?

Speaker 229 Well, obviously you were listening to us. Smart use of your time.

Speaker 209 True.

Speaker 5 But you could also be on a Virgin Voyages Caribbean cruise at the same time.

Speaker 51 That's just brilliant time management.

Speaker 3 This gives me an idea.

Speaker 231 Let's do a quick cruise quiz. Ready?

Speaker 13 First, cruise dining.

Speaker 54 Do you prefer a buffet or a curated dining experience with access to 20 distinct restaurants?

Speaker 32 Curated dining.

Speaker 102 Next. Okay, good choice.

Speaker 231 That's what Virgin Voyages offers.

Speaker 52 Second question. Would you rather have an overstuffed itinerary or the freedom to explore stunning?

Speaker 204 Oh, I want the freedom to explore stunning Caribbean destinations.

Speaker 263 Again, I think I see where this quiz is going.

Speaker 47 Virgin Voyages is amazing.

Speaker 32 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 172 throwing my backpack on the counter, being like, Where's the sandwich, ma?

Speaker 93 And then grabbing like a Diet Coke and sitting my fat ass on the couch with a bag of chips, watching.

Speaker 58 Oh, I was a fat kid growing up.

Speaker 55 Oh, really?

Speaker 170 Yeah, she was a husky mama.

Speaker 162 Yeah.

Speaker 48 Husky mama.

Speaker 184 We shopped at the husky

Speaker 119 section. I love.

Speaker 139 So you drink a Diet Coke, eight chips, and like turn on Sarah.

Speaker 77 I did it again.

Speaker 101 It was number one again.

Speaker 196 And I'd be like learning choreo, putting in the VHS to be like, oh my God, oh my God, the video is going to play.

Speaker 201 And then my sister would come in and then she would annoy me.

Speaker 184 And I'm like, shut up.

Throw a poop at my face.

Speaker 179 Truly let me have it.

Speaker 91 And it like shaped everything. I mean, I wanted,

Speaker 177 you know, highlights.

Speaker 65 Who was the person that inspired that the most?

Speaker 74 Was there like a, because there was JT doing his like frosted curls?

Speaker 26 JC taught me everything I know.

Speaker 68 AJ is a doll, but Kevin, I think.

Speaker 44 Kevin is hot.

Speaker 216 Kevin's gorge.

Speaker 186 Like, stunning.

Speaker 161 Yeah.

Speaker 101 Backstreet Boy is TRL.

Speaker 59 He looks. I think he's just

Speaker 68 always been beautiful.

Speaker 172 No, I mean, he's a vibe.

Speaker 164 The vibe.

Speaker 183 He was my vibe. Living La Vita, fucking Loca.

Speaker 134 Fucking Loca.

Speaker 193 Punched me into the clown

Speaker 102 so hard back in the day.

Speaker 179 And I could only go to Coconuts and or Sam Goody, if you remember that.

Speaker 219 Sam Goody.

Speaker 177 Where we had to, I don't know, go to a place to receive music.

Speaker 219 Everybody, you know, Gen A.

Speaker 191 Yeah.

Speaker 184 Who there, you just get it on your phone.

Speaker 179 I had to wait and I would be pissed.

Speaker 186 I would go to every like CD store to like try and get this album when Ricky Martin came out.

Speaker 265 And it could be sold out.

Speaker 99 This is like sold out.

Speaker 168 Just so you know, like

Speaker 74 streaming now where it's like, oh, I can pre-save it there's like leaks early it's like no no you wouldn't

Speaker 68 truly i remember like needing desperately to get there on the day oops i did it again came out this album because i was like it might not be there for a week it's gonna be gone waiting in the line wait in line you had to drive to borders and yeah the cd wouldn't be there you could go to another a sam goodie a fucking yeah it was coconuts coke what's is that a jersey thing that's a jersey thing or maybe it's tri-state do you remember i don't remember coconuts but i'm

Speaker 177 a cd store i love that it was crazy But yeah, I would be pissed.

Speaker 184 And the only thing that I, my scroungy little hands got up, got on was

Speaker 184 Ricky Martin's Live in La Vitaloka on cassette.

Speaker 124 So I had to then wait.

Speaker 167 Okay, then you guys, you had to wait.

Speaker 178 When the cassette ended, you had to rewind it.

Speaker 57 You had to rewind it.

Speaker 54 Rewind and flip it. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 86 Flip it and reverse it.

Speaker 82 It's craziness.

Speaker 97 Having to flip it and reverse it.

Speaker 167 Wait.

Speaker 177 And then the other side was like the Spanish side.

Speaker 55 So I was like, okay, now I'm going to listen to this in Spanish.

Speaker 95 If you think I'm not off book on Nome Amis by Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony, I have news for you.

Speaker 59 I'm kind of not, but I was at one point.

Speaker 160 Guys, now that's comedy. That's called a reverse.

Speaker 80 It's

Speaker 73 no, it's everything.

Speaker 29 Also, my favorite Ricky Martin song

Speaker 122 is a ballad.

Speaker 253 Which one?

Speaker 246 She's all I ever had.

Speaker 59 That one.

Speaker 208 Guys, vocals, it is 12.55 and we are singing down.

Speaker 70 I'm not singing.

Speaker 161 Y'all are. But you could be.
I could be.

Speaker 69 Yeah, I got a lube up.

Speaker 55 But wait.

Speaker 154 She's all I ever had. That was everything.

Speaker 120 Titanique, a jukebox musical for Ricky? For Ricky.

Speaker 120 Would you do a drinkbox musical again?

Speaker 55 Yeah.

Speaker 57 No, you wouldn't want to write your own.

Speaker 55 No, write your own.

Speaker 91 I mean, I'm not going to write my own music.

Speaker 55 We'll do the book. That's right.

Speaker 177 Yeah, we'll do the book for sure.

Speaker 169 I mean, yeah, MGM, Fox, everybody, come to us.

Speaker 184 We have Guru.

Speaker 93 I mean, just hire us.

Speaker 55 Wait, can I ask a question?

Speaker 65 How can Titanique be on the West End, but not Broadway?

Speaker 119 Good question.

Speaker 55 Yeah, but I don't get it.

Speaker 193 Tell us.

Speaker 215 I don't know.

Speaker 177 I think here's the thing.

Speaker 91 You know, you,

Speaker 253 there's different models.

Speaker 207 Sure.

Speaker 90 I would say there's different models for every show.

Speaker 184 You know, we were this random jukebox musical that came out right after pandemic.

Speaker 182 So I think our producer was, you know, trying to keep it small in the sense of like, let's build the brand and not go too hard too soon.

Speaker 191 Yeah.

Speaker 182 You know, and then it started like really picking up speed and momentum.

Speaker 164 And I think we had an opportunity in the height of it.

Speaker 182 Like when we, when Marla and I were going to leave, it was like June of 2023.

Speaker 184 I mean, it was like, I looked out in the audience and it was like, you guys again.

Speaker 193 And like, that's it.

Speaker 153 It was us. You guys again again.

Speaker 172 And it was like, you know, Marco Robbie and Matt Bomer, who is the hottest person I've ever seen.

Speaker 153 He listens to the show.

Speaker 98 Matt Battle.

Speaker 172 Matt, it's Connie from Titanic.

Speaker 184 And we never met backstage because you left and I was pissed.

Speaker 88 But you made me so nervous.

Speaker 182 And nobody ever does.

Speaker 179 So I love you.

Speaker 126 He's pretty beautiful. Yeah, gorgeous.

Speaker 172 And then it was like, you know, Lauren.

Speaker 171 And then Lauren was there.

Speaker 92 I know.

Speaker 48 And RuPaul and just like all these people.

Speaker 198 And you're like looking out in the audience.

Speaker 55 You're like, what the fuck is happening?

Speaker 177 Like this was, we never expected any of that to happen.

Speaker 220 So you're sitting there and you're just like, okay,

Speaker 165 maybe this is going to transfer and this is going to go to Broadway.

Speaker 182 And

Speaker 174 I just, you know, I don't know what happened.

Speaker 183 You know, there's never a,

Speaker 195 it could possibly happen

Speaker 54 again.

Speaker 177 I think we were, we were fighting the parody of it all, you know, and people, especially in the business, are like, oh, Snooty, this is Broadway.

Speaker 201 We don't do parodies.

Speaker 256 When I'm like, I know, but it's a new comedy and clearly the world loves it.

Speaker 184 And we just want an Olivier, which is like the Tonies of London.

Speaker 199 Yeah.

Speaker 187 And for, you know, it's bringing theater back.

Speaker 198 And I'm like, can we just like have fun again?

Speaker 87 And just laugh.

Speaker 170 And we don't have to always learn lessons when we go to the theater.

Speaker 176 Sure, sure.

Speaker 170 And it doesn't have to be this like highbrow,

Speaker 210 crazy story about mental illness and pills and.

Speaker 166 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 168 So it's, I mean, that was my Alice Replet, Lauren.

Speaker 98 Really good. Lauren.

Speaker 98 Alice Replet.

Speaker 79 Hello.

Speaker 104 Really pertinent now.

Speaker 198 So I just think there's room for everything.

Speaker 167 There's room for everything on Broadway.

Speaker 179 And

Speaker 196 I wish sometimes the bigwigs of Broadway didn't look down to a...

Speaker 170 a comedy that is just like, oh, this is a dumb comedy.

Speaker 215 Meanwhile, comedy's harder than dramas, you guys.

Speaker 180 100%.

Speaker 107 Meanwhile, O'Mary is like a pillow.

Speaker 108 The first prize finalist.

Speaker 166 I mean, look at, I mean, example.

Speaker 88 Cole, I am so

Speaker 144 inspired by them.

Speaker 156 That was one of the craziest things and most incredible things I have ever seen in my entire life.

Speaker 59 That whole cast, everything.

Speaker 174 So it's like, yes, cool, fun, crazy, weird new work is allowed.

Speaker 87 We're allowed to play.

Speaker 76 And clearly, it's working.

Speaker 182 The people want it.

Speaker 214 So, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 183 Hopefully, maybe we will one day get there.

Speaker 215 But I think right now it was just we kept it as an off-Broadway show.

Speaker 177 and i think it just sat there and i think we were building the brand and it just was like our little baby that just is

Speaker 135 waiting in the wings cool you know what i mean like i feel like it was like there's something about it that felt like you gotta especially with

Speaker 68 it was a cool underground thing yeah if you saw it it will always be a unicorn yeah like it was a magical unicorn like the like whatever like this is the what catherine o'hara says in um about movies it's like a great movie is great forever like a great show like that is literally great forever and you are it is literally around the world Thank you.

Speaker 261 You should be so that's so beautiful, like to have an extension of you.

Speaker 71 Like, I always this is the stupidest, dumbest comparison that I'm gonna make.

Speaker 62 And look, I'm looking in the camera.

Speaker 67 I know how dumb I am, okay?

Speaker 113 I know, I don't need you to tell me

Speaker 136 that this podcast is popular because I have people telling me how dumb I am.

Speaker 77 I know that I've been for years, smartest person I know.

Speaker 261 What I'm gonna say is, it's like when you book a pre-show at a theme park and you

Speaker 143 live hundreds of times a day, and you don't even know it.

Speaker 29 Like, Titanique is every night around the world, sometimes twice a day, it's making people happy.

Speaker 74 You are like writing and performing all the time without even doing that.

Speaker 133 And that is such a beautiful thing about art and theme parks.

Speaker 193 Thank you. Honestly, that is the best compliment ever.

Speaker 137 I am so like, I was watching, I went to the Universal when we were there.

Speaker 95 I was there the day before with my sister, and they have the Bourne Stuntacular, which is, yes, a Jason Bourne stunt show.

Speaker 77 And Julia Styles does the pre-show serving Jacket.

Speaker 130 And Julia Styles serves this pre-show so hard.

Speaker 98 Yeah.

Speaker 140 And I'm like, she has to know.

Speaker 97 Julia, you have to know.

Speaker 133 You're giving it to the girls.

Speaker 108 Thousands of times a day, every 20 minutes.

Speaker 95 You're up there giving the jacket of a lifetime.

Speaker 63 My favorite part of it, and then we don't talk about this anymore, is she's dead in the movie series.

Speaker 143 Like, spoiler, like, Julia Styles is fully dead.

Speaker 62 She gets blown up.

Speaker 65 She gets blown up and like literally lays in the street like this.

Speaker 55 Uh-oh.

Speaker 149 And then in the pre-show, she goes, Jason believes I'm dead.

Speaker 154 And they show her death like,

Speaker 203 and I'm like, because you are.

Speaker 214 And then canonically, she's alive, though.

Speaker 29 I guess now. So if you were a huge fan of the Julia Styles character in the Born movies, she's alive.

Speaker 61 Wow. She's alive and long.

Speaker 166 Also, bring back Save the Last Dance.

Speaker 55 Can I tell you something?

Speaker 62 Yes.

Speaker 179 I think that might be our next musical.

Speaker 185 Why not?

Speaker 54 Okay, you're coming up with that idea right now.

Speaker 69 I'm coming up with that idea right now.

Speaker 74 Because you know what they're literally doing?

Speaker 89 10 Things I Hate About You.

Speaker 167 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 184 Also, you know what else is going to be good?

Speaker 178 good and i'm gonna throw it out there center stage

Speaker 160 full parody of center stage really that's niche it's a niche market everybody go watch it go watch it

Speaker 146 niche is over it doesn't matter it's everything it's everything yeah it's everything it's it was that shaped me back in the day too talk about culture okay so let's go let's go back to this trl

Speaker 93 Let's go to our friend's house.

Speaker 92 No.

Speaker 57 There's no way. Not me.

Speaker 67 No.

Speaker 65 I would get on the bus on Friday and my mom, who would just walk me to the bus, I would look out the window because I was, this is a weird thing.

Speaker 63 I was really afraid of the bus. I used to have anxiety attacks about getting on the bus and not having anyone to sit with.

Speaker 85 So I would get on the bus through middle school and high school.

Speaker 95 Not through high school, through elementary school and middle school.

Speaker 135 This was the thing.

Speaker 236 So I'd get on the bus and look out the window, like terrified, like me, like dying, shaking.

Speaker 39 And my mom would go, T G

Speaker 101 to remind me that it was coming on later.

Speaker 151 It would make me feel so much better because I knew that if I just could get through school, I could watch TGIF.

Speaker 55 Oh, Boy Meets World, Boy Meets World, Topanga,

Speaker 180 Me too.

Speaker 178 Holler.

Speaker 204 So I only, it was the first eight years of my life.

Speaker 72 I've told you this. We were Greek Orthodox and we moved to a different town and we switched to Roman Catholicism because my dad goes, it's basically the same.

Speaker 55 And it was the Greek part of this.

Speaker 97 It's all in Greek. It's all in Greek.

Speaker 77 So I couldn't understand it.

Speaker 55 And it's three hours long.

Speaker 176 You want to go to church for three hours every Sunday?

Speaker 54 I don't think so, honey.

Speaker 98 That was crazy.

Speaker 170 Crazy. I would have to sit down and be like,

Speaker 184 dozing off. And my mom's like, Pay attention.

Speaker 172 I'm like, To what?

Speaker 59 I can't even understand this.

Speaker 261 Because it was all in Greek, I didn't understand it.

Speaker 65 And then we were like basically the same. We became Roman Catholic, and then I could hear what they were saying.

Speaker 128 And I'm like, Oh, fuck this.

Speaker 85 Well, this sucks.

Speaker 184 Well, because also, like, there's something beautiful about going to a Greek church.

Speaker 215 It's like stunning, like Byzantine arc, like things and art.

Speaker 161 I live next to one.

Speaker 114 I mean, it's stunning,

Speaker 70 um, that's that's the church next to me.

Speaker 168 Oh, that's that's a Greek Orthodox church,

Speaker 59 yeah.

Speaker 146 Huh, yeah, and then my parents.

Speaker 198 Speaking of when you transferred to Catholicism,

Speaker 177 my parents, when we were going to high school, we had no high school in our town.

Speaker 197 You would have to like go private or go somewhere else.

Speaker 177 And so they were like, we're going to put you in Catholic school.

Speaker 76 And I was like, wait, what?

Speaker 260 I was like, but I'm not Catholic.

Speaker 184 They're like, same thing.

Speaker 58 Same thing.

Speaker 184 So then me, like having to go to Mass every whatever, Friday.

Speaker 192 Yeah, you got it.

Speaker 169 And then I was like, okay. And then I got bamboozled into singing in the choir.

Speaker 184 So then everybody called me the gay singing kid. They're like, hey, gay singing kid, great job on our God is an awesome God.

Speaker 201 And I'm like, cool, don't even know that song.

Speaker 215 And I'm sitting here like singing like McDonald's fucking songs.

Speaker 55 That's what it felt like because I was like, I grew up in the Greek church, which was like all like Byzantine, ancient Greek hymns.

Speaker 104 Sure. The best one.

Speaker 65 What is it? Did you ever sing Hosanna in the highest?

Speaker 55 Of course.

Speaker 257 Hosanna in the highest.

Speaker 62 It's actually kind of county. Yeah.

Speaker 125 Blessed is he who comes from the name of the Lord.

Speaker 39 No, it's actually, they need to put it in the pop song.

Speaker 151 I think Lord should do it.

Speaker 180 Lord, Lord should I think they should do it with a mashup with Charlie X.

Speaker 55 It should be on their album, Virgin.

Speaker 93 Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 184 Did you ever remember Sweet Redeemer?

Speaker 164 That song was a banger.

Speaker 211 Give it to us.

Speaker 44 How'd it go?

Speaker 57 Sweet Redeemer, I surrender all I am to you.

Speaker 199 Yeah, it was

Speaker 54 wild.

Speaker 177 And then I used to get in trouble by the priest because my

Speaker 184 mentor in high school, two guys, Frank and Ed, who I fucking love still to this day,

Speaker 184 they would always make me just like go off like American Idol style.

Speaker 207 And I was like, okay.

Speaker 219 And then the priest would be like, listen, son, this is an American Idol.

Speaker 177 Stop singing like that. This is church.

Speaker 201 And I was like, okay.

Speaker 216 I was like, I'm not even Catholic.

Speaker 55 You're wearing like an extended belt.

Speaker 93 Oh, I used to hold, I would hold things out.

Speaker 178 People would be like, yo, gay singing kid, that was so fierce today.

Speaker 177 Yeah.

Speaker 216 And I'm like, thanks, man.

Speaker 61 That was so fierce.

Speaker 160 And I was like, well, I'm actually not gay.

Speaker 256 And they're like, haha, sure.

Speaker 165 And yeah, I would just like go off at Mass because I was like, I'm not Catholic. What is this?

Speaker 167 It's like fun, crazy music.

Speaker 73 We're all just goofing off.

Speaker 78 We're goofing off of church.

Speaker 68 But don't you love that you have this sort of pop star narrative of he got to start singing in the church choir.

Speaker 165 I sure did. I mean, I sang in the church choir in Greek church, too.
So, like, but that was like, you know, hymns and shit. So, that was one of

Speaker 63 speaking of all these movies that remember every line, remember Sister Act 2, where there's that

Speaker 104 iconic scene where Lauren Hill and her friend are singing, I sing because I'm happy

Speaker 56 and I sing because

Speaker 133 so then at the end, they're singing, and the one girl goes to the Lauren Hill goes to the one girl, girl, you could really make it.

Speaker 150 And she goes,

Speaker 149 This is for church.

Speaker 77 Or when she was like, She was like,

Speaker 171 or you clearly know that she has a better voice than Lauren Hill.

Speaker 162 Sorry, she literally sang.

Speaker 178 And then she was like, Girl, she's like, I just can't, I can't get that.

Speaker 88 You have it.

Speaker 186 I can't get that low note.

Speaker 55 And she's like, No, no, no, no, no, no, this is this is for church. This is for church.
Yeah, you could really make it.

Speaker 59 You could really make it.

Speaker 205 That movie is so

Speaker 125 special.

Speaker 113 Rita Marie Watkins.

Speaker 95 Get your behind upstairs.

Speaker 120 Get your nose out of the grass.

Speaker 172 And your head in the clouds.

Speaker 126 Looking like the scarecrow from The Wiz, and I was so here for it.

Speaker 65 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 126 With a Michael Jackson glove, I was like, bitch, go off.

Speaker 63 What did you feel about Zendaya and Anasawai being in the same look?

Speaker 78 Was it the same?

Speaker 82 It was the exact same.

Speaker 48 Exact same.

Speaker 56 I don't know. know.

Speaker 78 I thought it was different takes on the same.

Speaker 70 Okay.

Speaker 217 Yeah, but I mean, you're looking at a side by side.

Speaker 181 I will.

Speaker 185 She can wear anything.

Speaker 93 I mean, Sendaya's the most stunning human in the world.

Speaker 174 But it reminded me of like, you know, old Celine.

Speaker 83 Was that brand new look?

Speaker 77 Yeah.

Speaker 58 With the book, the backwards suit.

Speaker 115 Oh, my God.

Speaker 183 Which was iconic, but I'm like, okay, we've seen it.

Speaker 170 Let's maybe do something else.

Speaker 191 Sure, sure, sure.

Speaker 78 Rihanna announcing baby number three.

Speaker 167 Rihanna, baby number three. Funny pregnant.

Speaker 88 I'm obsessed with zero fucks.

Speaker 48 I said R9, more like R3.

Speaker 55 Rihanna third bird.

Speaker 127 Also, is that album actually going to happen?

Speaker 242 I don't think so.

Speaker 179 I hate that.

Speaker 165 I hate that. I hate hearing people.

Speaker 133 I just don't.

Speaker 86 What the streets are saying is that she really just likes to smoke weed and watch housewives and do the fashion thing.

Speaker 99 That's what the streets are saying.

Speaker 170 I mean, we're here for that, but also I just need one more.

Speaker 187 Just give me one more.

Speaker 55 Of course.

Speaker 193 One more.

Speaker 161 And anti-is pretty cool.

Speaker 55 Here's the thing.

Speaker 150 I don't think it's that she doesn't want to.

Speaker 203 I just think she feels she set a really high fucking bar with Anti.

Speaker 74 I also think she genuinely enjoys these other aspects of her life.

Speaker 150 And if it's coming, it is on her time, which is, as we know, late.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 265 Yeah.

Speaker 217 The way she rolled up, she made everyone on that carpet wait 45 minutes after the last person to take her fucking picture.

Speaker 63 People thought that that was like the female duet of our time to rival Enough is enough, no more tears. No more tears, yeah.
Donna Summer, Barbara Streisand.

Speaker 85 It's guess.

Speaker 137 Guess is so powerful.

Speaker 29 There's room for everything.

Speaker 265 I'm just saying the feeling that you get during Guess.

Speaker 54 Let them let them let them.

Speaker 222 BFGW, Big Fat Greek, wedding, wedding, BFGW, one of the great movies.

Speaker 55 One of the great movies.

Speaker 68 Still, I think a comedy breakthrough moment for me was Andrew Martin talking about her, the lump on her neck.

Speaker 70 Yes.

Speaker 68 That is one of the funniest things in movie history.

Speaker 55 There was a

Speaker 139 spinal cord in teeth.

Speaker 167 I got a

Speaker 135 inside the lump was my twin.

Speaker 86 Full set of teeth.

Speaker 181 Yeah.

Speaker 124 It was my twin.

Speaker 61 Like, this is his brain.

Speaker 95 Andrew Rutten is so forever, it's not even fun.

Speaker 98 I love that movie.

Speaker 133 It's so good.

Speaker 107 It's good every single time.

Speaker 105 I remember I went with my Greek grandmother.

Speaker 184 Who's Greek on your mom's side or dad's side?

Speaker 104 So this is the controversy. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 78 No one knows.

Speaker 68 No, no, no. But have you heard this?

Speaker 135 So,

Speaker 63 I live my entire life thinking like almost 50% Greek. Like, that's kind of what the vibe is.
Like, my mother's side of the family, like, there's a lot of Greek there.

Speaker 74 In fact, we had even seen the movie.

Speaker 255 And my, my Nana, who's now passed, she was like, This is my culture.

Speaker 130 I'm so happy they made a movie about this.

Speaker 217 And it was just a huge success, like, et cetera.

Speaker 65 So then I think like two years ago, I do the 23andMe.

Speaker 101 Spit in the tube, send it in, comes back.

Speaker 107 0.0% Greek.

Speaker 72 Almost 40% Turkish.

Speaker 70 But it's giving men away.

Speaker 253 It's giving right next door.

Speaker 149 It's giving right next door.

Speaker 125 It's giving, let's just call it a culture clash.

Speaker 166 Grandma grew up in Greece.

Speaker 89 And my mother's maiden name is Claritas.

Speaker 29 Yeah. So it's like they're

Speaker 55 in their diet.

Speaker 17 Right? Yeah.

Speaker 104 But the Drew Barrymore, hit show.

Speaker 151 Hit show.

Speaker 118 Love you, Drew.

Speaker 54 I do love a Drew.

Speaker 78 But yeah, Noah, that was, so that was like, I was going to like, thank God that she passed before she would have had a heart attack i don't think she would have loved the news wouldn't have loved it no she is greek you are greek though like that you you come from greece the the you yeah i mean it's you're there it's fine but then so then i looked at a picture of like a turkish person i like googled like turkish man and everything

Speaker 102 you see it a little bit

Speaker 55 yeah you know what i'm saying i mean it's so they're so close it is what it is like my father's village where he grew up is like this tiny little place called Casturia, which is right next to, you know, Albania and Turkey and everything.

Speaker 206 So it's like.

Speaker 162 Do you speak it? Yeah. Oh, fluently.

Speaker 82 Love. L-O-L.

Speaker 127 Yeah, that was the best part.

Speaker 185 Part, a great part now, knowing that you're like, okay, cool.

Speaker 165 We're past like Greek school and like total shit that I had to go through my whole life.

Speaker 68 Every Sunday?

Speaker 208 No, no, no. Every Tuesday and Thursday for three hours after American school.

Speaker 161 No.

Speaker 192 Yeah.

Speaker 182 Talk about then you having to study for American school, do your homework, and then do Greek homework.

Speaker 199 You can't watch CR out.

Speaker 16 I had to tape it.

Speaker 58 You had to tape it. Tape it.

Speaker 68 Oh, we had to press record on a VCR for that.

Speaker 165 Anyway, no, manually, I had to press it.

Speaker 90 Oh, wow.

Speaker 162 DHS.

Speaker 154 Actually, this us talking about this makes me realize I do know my own thing, so honey.

Speaker 16 Great.

Speaker 25 Okay.

Speaker 51 I think it's time.

Speaker 233 What if your Wi-Fi wasn't just Wi-Fi, but the magic holding your whole holiday together?

Speaker 234 Well, with Xfinity Wi-Fi, it kind of is.

Speaker 235 Picture this.

Speaker 237 Powered by their best, most elite, high-performing tech, this Wi-Fi doesn't just connect devices, it keeps the peace at home during the most wonderful and most stressful time of the year.

Speaker 52 It's kind of like having a little holiday helper working behind the scenes, making sure the holiday playlist never skips the beat and the video call with grandma doesn't freeze mid-cookie tutorial.

Speaker 46 It's Wi-Fi that keeps your whole home connected so you can actually enjoy the holiday magic chaos free.

Speaker 241 The best present of all.

Speaker 10 Let me paint a picture for you.

Speaker 228 A holiday movie marathon is streaming in the living room.

Speaker 41 Your kid is video chatting their friends from their tablet, and your partner is shopping for too many gifts and cinnamon candles.

Speaker 145 Ah!

Speaker 223 Not this season, not with Xfinity Wi-Fi.

Speaker 148 With Xfinity, you can boost the Wi-Fi to your device only.

Speaker 46 So when you go to upload 200 photos of that cat in a cute little Santa hat, you won't see that dreaded failed to upload message.

Speaker 37 Not this season, not with Xfinity Wi-Fi.

Speaker 242 And what if you had a way to make sure family time during the holidays had zero distractions?

Speaker 22 With Xfinity Wi-Fi, you can pause the kids' Wi-Fi and enjoy those special moments together.

Speaker 13 And if you're wondering what other parental instincts your Wi-Fi has during this busy season, Xfinity protects your kids when they're online so you know they're safe, even if you're busy making cocoa or taste-testing cookies.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 241 Someone has to make sure there's exactly the same amount of chocolate chips in each cookie.

Speaker 243 And what if your Wi-Fi could proactively fix issues before they even happen?

Speaker 241 Well, that's exactly what Xfinity Wi-Fi does.

Speaker 36 Like the friend who shows up with extra wrapping paper, bows, and tape before you even realize you're out.

Speaker 239 Because let's be honest, you never buy enough.

Speaker 53 Bottom line, Xfinity Wi-Fi isn't just smart, it's brilliant. And during the holidays, that brilliance, that's a gift.

Speaker 3 Xfinity, imagine that.

Speaker 46 Who decides what you can do?

Speaker 50 Who gets to decide what you're capable of?

Speaker 246 Your boss? Your friends?

Speaker 6 Some stranger on the internet? No, no, and absolutely no.

Speaker 46 You decide.

Speaker 18 Only you.

Speaker 247 Ford shares that belief.

Speaker 248 It's like engineered into their vehicles.

Speaker 12 An F-150 is all steel, sweat, and dreams.

Speaker 227 Right? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 30 A Ford Bronco is built for adventure, but you've got to get behind the wheel.

Speaker 6 Can you?

Speaker 209 Yeah, you can, but you have to first.

Speaker 12 You have to.

Speaker 14 And a Mustang, the Mustang that conquers curves.

Speaker 49 You are more capable than you know.

Speaker 249 Like, for example, I never thought I could parallel park.

Speaker 230 I just thought it wasn't something that was going to happen for me in my life.

Speaker 250 And not everyone gets to have every experience, you know?

Speaker 249 But then...

Speaker 218 Suddenly, I did a parallel park and I thought, wow, I'm going to apply to Harvard. I didn't get in, but I did Parallel Park.

Speaker 8 Sometimes you just need to push.

Speaker 47 What is it that they say?

Speaker 15 Whether you think you can or you think you can't.

Speaker 209 You're right.

Speaker 12 Ready, set,

Speaker 19 You ever just stop in the middle of a crazy day and realize, wow, I needed a break.

Speaker 12 It literally happened to me yesterday.

Speaker 2 I cracked open a Diet Coke, sat back for five minutes, total reset.

Speaker 235 Right?

Speaker 46 There's something about the crispy, refreshing taste of an ice-cold Diet Coke.

Speaker 252 It just hits.

Speaker 228 It's my little me moment, like, make time for a Diet Coke break, you know?

Speaker 46 Exactly.

Speaker 209 Diet Coke is the perfect companion for all break moments.

Speaker 33 Diet Coke, this is my taste.

Speaker 32 Two questions. What are you doing right now?

Speaker 5 And why aren't you on a Virgin Voyages Caribbean cruise?

Speaker 229 Well, obviously you're listening to us. Smart use of your time.

Speaker 209 True.

Speaker 5 But you could also be on a Virgin Voyages Caribbean cruise at the same time.

Speaker 51 That's just brilliant time management.

Speaker 224 Very true.

Speaker 3 This gives me an idea.

Speaker 231 Let's do a quick cruise quiz. Ready?

Speaker 13 First, cruise dining.

Speaker 43 Do you prefer a buffet or a curated dining experience with access to 20 distinct restaurants?

Speaker 32 Curated dining.

Speaker 102 Next. Okay, good choice.

Speaker 231 That's what Virgin Voyages offers.

Speaker 52 Second question. Would you rather have an overstuffed itinerary or the freedom to explore stunning Caribbean?

Speaker 204 Oh, I want the freedom to explore stunning Caribbean destinations.

Speaker 263 Again, I think I see where this quiz is going.

Speaker 47 Virgin Voyages is amazing.

Speaker 114 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 10 The cruises are kid-free.

Speaker 134 From sunrise yoga to late-night cocktails, every moment is made for grown-up fun.

Speaker 65 And this is going to be a throwback.

Speaker 135 It actually is applicable to all times.

Speaker 81 By the way, I don't think so, honey is our 60-second segment where we take a minute to rant, rail, and more against something in culture culture that deserves it.

Speaker 65 And I have that thing.

Speaker 68 Okay, this is Matt Rogers's I don't think so, honey, and his time starts now.

Speaker 133 I don't think so, honey.

Speaker 65 People who fast forward and cannot start it on time, and like and when it comes back from commercial,

Speaker 265 you've had

Speaker 99 years now to understand the timing on this.

Speaker 265 And it happened back in the day, and it's years and years and years.

Speaker 29 Because I'm saying it's not just the DVR, it's also rewind culture from VCR culture.

Speaker 265 You know, you hit the button to resume a little before.

Speaker 64 I hate going back, going forth, going back, going forth.

Speaker 29 I hate it.

Speaker 133 You know, when it's over, I guess you wouldn't know because you have to guess, but like, we develop your instincts, develop your internal clock, and then like just get it right.

Speaker 265 Like, I hate this about

Speaker 265 fast forwarding through things.

Speaker 55 I would rather watch a commercial.

Speaker 174 Sorry.

Speaker 97 Fuck you.

Speaker 54 I don't think so, honey.

Speaker 55 That's one minute.

Speaker 65 This is Bo and Yang's. I don't think so, honey, his time starts now.

Speaker 115 I don't think so, honey.

Speaker 221 What are the lotions of the world doing to help us in any situation?

Speaker 133 Like, why, why can't we have lotions that just work?

Speaker 258 I'm putting hand cream on, and I still have cracked palms.

Speaker 55 I'm putting lip balm on.

Speaker 143 I still have cracked lips.

Speaker 110 There's nothing. There's...

Speaker 258 My body is a sponge, and there's nothing in the world that can actually hydrate me to its fullest potential.

Speaker 105 I think this is something that is, that is accelerating my age.

Speaker 68 I think this is something that 30 seconds I can't stay on top of and then it will eventually,

Speaker 258 it will show in my hands.

Speaker 68 There are people out there, you know, the stars out there who are aging from their hands first.

Speaker 85 And

Speaker 126 I think I will be one of those people.

Speaker 113 He'll be one of those stars.

Speaker 77 I will be one of those stars.

Speaker 92 You know who I'm talking about.

Speaker 68 You know who I'm talking about.

Speaker 54 Don't you know who I'm talking about?

Speaker 55 Not really.

Speaker 187 Now, okay, you know what?

Speaker 207 I don't think so, honey, being private on Instagram.

Speaker 184 Okay, we're going to talk about this right now because if I see you DM me and then I click on your fucking picture and that tiny little fucking picture and there's nothing to go to and you have 800 followers, what are you?

Speaker 55 A Quaker?

Speaker 83 You can't just be out in public?

Speaker 214 Then why are you on Instagram?

Speaker 174 I need you to share your life, share everything.

Speaker 214 Sorry, I'm keeping it for my close friends and family. What? The 200 people that you know? Why don't you fucking text them?

Speaker 214 I want to scan your pictures.

Speaker 207 I want to creep on you.

Speaker 205 I want to see exactly who you are.

Speaker 156 I want to hear your voice.

Speaker 214 I want to get the fucking tea. Because if we're going to bone, I want to see if you're man enough.

Speaker 97 Yes.

Speaker 257 It wasn't man enough for me.

Speaker 160 Also, best song I've ever heard.

Speaker 54 Yeah, right.

Speaker 167 Yeah, mix.

Speaker 84 I don't know the best mix in the world.

Speaker 214 15 seconds, but like seriously, I, and then I click on another picture and then it's like this gorgeous group of people and you fucking private and we're never going to meet because you're never gonna see my DM or my or the message so it's a lost cause okay so you can choke get that shit off private and fucking DM me thank you so much and that's one minute you're so right yeah right I don't know I don't know how people expect something to get going when it's like all I can do is like click your little I don't click that and it doesn't even also when it's private another I don't think so it doesn't expand no it doesn't expand you go and see the

Speaker 74 so and I'm not giving you the follow right away no I gotta see I gotta see what I'm talking about.

Speaker 198 I gotta do the creep of like, I'm gonna like two pictures and then you're gonna see it because you're gonna scan.

Speaker 78 You're gonna make me be the pick-me when you're the pick-mind.

Speaker 54 Exactly.

Speaker 81 No way. No way.

Speaker 133 First of all, just beware of the pick-me's because even if they seem cool, that's what they are.

Speaker 215 Yeah, they all, they think they're so cool.

Speaker 186 I'm like, you're not cool.

Speaker 162 I just

Speaker 162 because you're a private.

Speaker 55 Yeah, no.

Speaker 48 Shut up.

Speaker 97 Well, no, here's the thing.

Speaker 265 If you want, whatever.

Speaker 65 If you want to be private, fine.

Speaker 135 You're being honest to hooky, but whatever. There's also this.

Speaker 65 And a lot of gays that I truly respect, these girls, they'll have a private profile But then pretty much all of their stories will be close friends right, right?

Speaker 73 So do that have like your little whatever like it can be nothing right, but then just like engage with because you can also do grid close friends

Speaker 85 Exactly, but I'll keep all the grid posts close friends if you don't want anyone to see anything literally private is I mean in this context then don't then don't be on Instagram

Speaker 77 then don't be just

Speaker 74 don't be flirting don't be suggestive in the DMs with a private profile exactly how very dare you How very dare you.

Speaker 78 This is not quite the same.

Speaker 184 That is very, this is all very justified.

Speaker 68 My original I don't think so honey before I blanked on it and went to lotions because I saw a bottle of lotion right there.

Speaker 84 Oh my god, that'll be not giving you the idea.

Speaker 167 That Evino gave me the idea because I'm stroking.

Speaker 68 But my original I don't think so honey was if you're on a dating app and you have a LinkedIn.

Speaker 9 Deep private that.

Speaker 68 Because I got to see what you do and where you went to school. Cause it's fun.

Speaker 168 It's good information.

Speaker 79 I'm not going to judge you.

Speaker 27 What sucks about LinkedIn, which I learned the hard way, people can see when you go look.

Speaker 127 No, but you don't log in.

Speaker 112 No, you log off your LinkedIn, open a private browser, go to their LinkedIn.

Speaker 68 And if it blocks you, if you have to log in, then you go, well, I'm not going that far. I'm not going to have them see that I viewed their profile.

Speaker 85 But I just want to hate that.

Speaker 78 You know what I mean?

Speaker 137 Why can't I just like

Speaker 81 I like to do a little stalking?

Speaker 167 Yeah, I like to creep in like a creepy crawler, as we like to call it.

Speaker 74 Online creepy crawly.

Speaker 71 And then I love that.

Speaker 39 When you get like fucking busted on by like oh, okay, I'm sorry.
