Starting point is 00:03:14 thought on this draft so yes i do have something coming up may 23rd i'll be at helium uh indoor kissing party i'm kidding it's an outdoor show. Outdoor, safe. You bring your own chair. You can only get four tickets to a group. And I'm going to tell, I've been really stoked on standup. I just did a bunch of shows outside at Oaks Park and I got real pumped on doing new stuff, which doesn't happen a ton. You get real excited about it, you know? So this will be much better than the show I did last year if you came to that now you just started stand-up how was the open mic scene how's it going cutthroat bruh i'll tell you this you want to hear something how's your tight too i'll tell you something about the open mic scene i don't i don't want to step on any toes here but a lot of upset dudes, no. A lot of upset. They need somewhere to go. Who knew?
Starting point is 00:04:05 Who knew that there were so many disgruntled younger dudes in Portland who maybe wanted to get drunk and not do stand up. But since stand ups going on, I'll do stand up. You know, who knew? If I were still doing open mics, I would in Portland, I would bring a gun. I should have at the time, even when I was at Suki's at the time I should have had a gun I bet some of these fools did I won't name names but there was this kid Richard
Starting point is 00:04:30 rest in peace Richard Bain used to mess with Richard I can talk about I'm not going to say the kid rest in peace we're coming up on the one year anniversary rest in peace Richard Bain the greatest go on sorry I just saw these kids and he would the way he talked to him i was like if they ever come in here spraying dude it's you you're the target
Starting point is 00:04:50 so many trench coat kids were in that scene because like a smaller city especially it's like the open mic scene is gonna attract yeah like incels sociopaths like people who are just like a microphone finally my chat room come to life like me thinks my i might sew some discord today yeah and then it was like i remember too i was there and like i was super young because i was lying to all of you guys about how old i was i was only like 19 going to like boiler room and like really i didn't know that it was so funny because if you remember there was like the there was two kids alex and jason who were at curious comedy and they were like 18 i do remember those they were really young but i was only a year older than
Starting point is 00:05:36 them but i was acting much older and one time gabe dinger like sat me down and he goes yeah i'm sorry but like i just don't want to hear a freaking teen tell me about life. Anyways, Marsha, you were so good tonight. And I'm sitting there like, man, when they all find out, this is going to be crazy. And then I think me and Sean had a joint birthday party when I turned 21. And I was just like, by the way, everybody, I'm a junior in college. Everybody was like, okay. But the reason was because my musical theater department at my school was didn't like me so that's how i started comedy and it's all full circle with the pod
Starting point is 00:06:10 didn't we have a few joint birthday parties you and i we had a few yeah because we have the exact same b-day little scorpio girls damn right i've been lying about my age too i'm 20 i'm 27 so like i just want to get that off my chest i've been I've been lying about a lot of stuff man I remember Jason I remember Jason and Alex those two little cuties I know I still I think I follow them on insta and stuff but like it's crazy because it doesn't feel like that long ago but like I'm 31 and I met all of you guys when I was 19 it feels like yesterday Alex is in that crazy Alex has probably been a doctor for like a decade now i see jason like producing like videos yeah that's like yeah there so we were at curious one time and alex he i'd love him to pieces and he was but he just he would like turtle the
Starting point is 00:06:55 shoulders up all the time and like look at the ground and he brings this up to me it's been years but every time i see him he brings it up where we were just talking one time and i was like look at me and i didn't mean to say it like that but I just because it had been he was just staring at the ground and he'll bring that up to me and he's like you know that like kind of changed something when you when you were harsh I mean and I didn't mean to be like that's why I didn't fit in in Portland because it was like any room I walked into I feel like I'd be like hey hey, how's it going? And people are like, whoa, hey. Calm the fuck down. I know. Yeah. And it's like, damn, like, God, I was like not like chill.
Starting point is 00:07:30 But also I found the chillness there, like not with Alex. Alex was a genuinely sweet boy, but like found it so passive aggressive so much of the time. Like, and it's like, I just don't do well in those environments where it's like even L.A. I suffer. It's like I don't like when you like go into a meeting and they're like we love you we're gonna call you in five minutes with fifty thousand dollars and they like ghost you like it's like i'd rather you just be like hey we're not buying stuff right now or like you know what i mean like it's like that same west coast like culture yeah no you're so hold on anyways i miss it i miss you guys
Starting point is 00:08:00 you're so right though it's It's like polite but mean. You know what I mean? It's like, I'd rather just be like honest and then whatever you are actually behind it. Not enough Jewish energy in Portland. Not to get into that again. In New York, there's not time to lie. That's what I like about it. Oh, shoot. Okay, I have these books

Starting point is 00:11:43 it's a different kind of bread anything Anything Alfredo is kind of a lot. Exactly. It's a lot. A breadstick is bread. A breadstick is bread. A tortilla is bread. You can't just say it like there's not different types of bread. We've really relitigated this many times.
Starting point is 00:11:58 That's why I didn't want to go in. A cinnamon roll is bread. A donut is bread. Cereal is bread. Yeah, I guess brioche is sourdough now. Yeah, it's a whole wide variety. We're living in a crazy world. Lucky Charms are red.
Starting point is 00:12:09 All is an apple strudel. We could just... I'm wearing pants for a hat now. Yeah, dude. I have had... Who's going to get buried next, Sean? I'll close their pants. Listen to me, Sean.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Bagels aren't even bialis, dude. All right? They're two different things, bro. A bagel and Alfredo sauce would be great. Ew. Sean, you lost me. Tortilla scoops, bro. A bagel and Alfredo sauce would be great. Oh, Sean, you lost me. Tortilla scoops,
Starting point is 00:12:27 tortilla scoops with Alfredo sauce. You had one ally, but I can't stick by you for this. I got allies. Right down by the Mac stop. They're allies.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I guarantee it. No, the internet's good about bringing bad people together. Yes, there's going to be some tortilla Alfredo club
Starting point is 00:12:44 that never needed representation. By the way, David, there's gonna be some tortilla alfredo club that never needed representation by the way david there's a dude and for the two of you two david and i discussed last week if their last name spaghetti is a real or if it's a last name there's a guy who's uh a soccer player named kevin lasagna that is i understand that not what we talked about we talked about spaghetti i think lasagna is a Buckeye last name. I offered $1,000 for someone in the spaghetti family. Lasagna is a whole different type of grain. That's a whole other pasta.
Starting point is 00:13:11 It's a whole other grain. But it is bread. Lasagna is bread. Put alfredo sauce on it. Lasagna's in the pizza family. Did you say labrania? Labrania though. I did say labrania. I like to think that's his own special recipe where he puts like a little bit of brown sugar in it.
Starting point is 00:13:29 It's just a little. That's when he goes into the frozen food for like athletic people. I just so happen to be having a daughter in a few weeks and LeBron seems like untouched gold. Just shot up to the top of the name list. David, do you have anything that you want to advertise, put out there to the all family? No, I'm just doing local dates to try to get my weight up. So, you know, look at my Instagram for that.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Beautiful. Kiss your family on the mouth. Not too long. Just a little. Four second to eight second range. Eight seconds is even. Eight seconds is a long kiss right there that was shorter than eight seconds it would have been more brutal than that
Starting point is 00:14:14 i'm saying eight seconds eyes open i'm gonna kiss my dad for eight seconds next time i see him kiss your dad eight seconds why eyes open and see what happens i'm gonna i mean you're too old to be taken away from him, but I'm going to go to the rodeo. I'm going to go to the rodeo and kiss someone for eight seconds while someone else rides a bull. There it is. Ah,
Starting point is 00:14:32 that's a plan. I mean, we're all a little bit touch starved. It seems in these times for our families. I'm good, man. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:14:41 You guys are like engaged. That's right. Y'all all up in. Marsha Belsky is here, at Marsha Belsky on Twitter, at Marsha Ski. That's just Marsha with a sky. Was I supposed to have been being quiet that whole time? Oh, no. Oh, you nailed it. On Instagram, Marsha, how the fuck are you?
Starting point is 00:14:57 I mean, we've been getting into it a little bit. How are you? Do you have anything to promote? What's going on? What's the business? Let's see. Yes, I'm doing, I have like, you know know first big show back at bell house is doing in new york and brooklyn is doing like an outdoor thing this summer so we have our show stevie me and my friend drew anderson and sam
Starting point is 00:15:16 taggart that will be really fun we have a great lineup um so i'm excited for that and yeah no it's been a crazy year like I had this um 100 tampon song kind of like go viral at the beginning of quarantine so it's like kind of interesting because like I've been doing musical comedy for the last few years but like also stand up and like some other stuff and like worked on these musicals you know and so now it's like it's exciting it's like I've kind of forgotten that like my career has kind of changed because like for this last year, I've just been inside. So I'm like excited to be like going out and doing shows more, like getting paid a little more for gigs, hopefully like that. So, so it's been a cool year. You know, it's, it's definitely interesting to like go viral. Like I'm working this like
Starting point is 00:16:02 horrible customer support job right now. And then it's like, I'm like having viral like I'm working this like horrible customer support job right now and then it's like I'm like having people like scream at me on the phone all day and then Sarah Silverman's tweeting at me and I'm like this is a weird juxtaposition like but that's kind of just how it is so the swing so I'm happy the swing I feel you that I had
Starting point is 00:16:20 a call center job in the same thing where it's like you go and people are like you you worthless prick and then you know and then we went on tour and we went to the bell house where it's like you go and people are like you, you worthless prick. And then, you know, and then we went on tour and we went to the bell house and it was sold out. And you're like, man. Why can't people just be cool? It's a weird juxtaposition. Like it really is.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Especially because it feels like these jobs that we're like qualified for, like especially full time. It's like it's becoming more and more just like customer support, like things like that. And it's just more and more just like customer support, like things like that. And it's just so awful. Like it's just people yelling at a company or even just like yelling at the problems in their life. But like, I'm a person and I've worked in restaurants and it's bad. Like you definitely deal with crazy people, but like you have your coworkers around you. Like it's, you get one to two bad customers per day, like maybe more, but like on the phones, it's like get one to two bad customers per day like maybe more but like on the phones it's like if they're calling customer support it's because they're having it they're actively
Starting point is 00:17:10 stressed like nobody calls customer support like this is the best day of my life can't wait to just shoot this shit like they're coming in hot people who are nice they're coming in hot but the people who are nice i really appreciate i mean i think every job i don't think i was ever like abusive or nasty but i think every job I've had has taught me. And this was kind of the last frontier where it's like, I think I've always been decent on the phone with customer support people, but now it'll be like where I go into restaurants
Starting point is 00:17:35 and I'm just like, you know what? I'm actually sorry for even being here. And if you want to sit me in the bathroom, that's fine with me. Like, you know. Sorry for showing. I'll do the dishes. I'll do my dishes.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I'll do the dishes. I don't dishes and i'll pay extra yeah i tip like 40 if i could afford it like they're like when they're meaner i'm like they're probably having a bad day i'm gonna tip more absolutely a little more humanity it's good to have that energy you know it's like i don't want to lose that but it's you know i'd rather just go even if it's like i have to go back to being a receptionist for a while it's tough too it's like with comedy it's like you know we'll see how things work but it's like I have to go back to being a receptionist for a while. It's tough, too. It's like with comedy. It's like, you know, we'll see how things work. But it's like you got to balance a living.
Starting point is 00:18:10 But it's like you also have to like they're like, hey, can you be at an audition in 30 minutes? And it's like, if you get it, it'll be ten thousand dollars. If you don't, you have to quit your job anyway. Yeah. Cool. They're like, can you come to six callbacks in the middle of the day for a job you're not going to get? And it's like, why not,
Starting point is 00:18:26 man? Yeah. And it always is like 45 minutes before, like they didn't know they were having these auditions. What is this? Well, I, I'm so excited to see you come out of this quarantine chrysalis.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I think it's going to be, I think it's going to be beautiful for you. I think so many people are finding out how funny you are. Something we've known for a decade and done nothing to help. That's not true. Ian, you booked me on your show. I never got booked on Funny Over Everything. I was bitter about it.
Starting point is 00:18:52 That was Shane Torres. That was Shane. I got locked out. I got locked out. It was Shane who threw his whole body in front of it. That's okay. I'm Jewish. I can hold a grudge.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I know who to hate. No, I'm just kidding. Sean and I were trying to get you on there and shane he just he he pulled a knife on us and you can bring it up next time you see him me and yeah he told me that too he has a video he pulled a butterfly knife on us we didn't have you on funny over everything that's crazy i'm sorry about that it's all right i was young it's also that thing too where sometimes i watch stand-up videos of myself like eight years ago and I'm like okay well you know in a lot of ways I wasn't funny plus you were four you were 14 you were 14 at the time I was 14 years
Starting point is 00:19:32 old I remember clearly who I didn't think was funny and I definitely thought you were funny that's weird that we didn't have you you had that show at um what's it called theater that was like really fun yeah Funch has always booked me um it was that thing it's that comedy like ego bitter thing too where it's like you can get every show in the world but you there's like that one show that you really want and you just sit there like i never got to do meltdown every everyone i know has their meltdown posters hanging up in their house and i'm like hmm yes exactly it's exactly. It's like so annoying. I'm really trying to shift that to like post quarantine where it's like, because I realized too, like
Starting point is 00:20:09 I've been doing comedy for like 10, 11 years and I never had a significant break. And so this year has been really healthy for me. Cause it's like, you know, I really needed to just step away from the hustle. Cause it's like, I could tell myself I was going to not take shows for a couple of weeks, but if I got a good show, I'm going to take it. Like you don't actually get to relax and you're sitting there the whole time feeling like I should be out. I should be hanging out. I should be doing stuff. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:20:31 it was, I feel really grateful. Cause it was literally like the first normal year I've had of my, I mean, not normal. It was like anxious as fuck, but like, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:40 just away from that. I think many of us have found that to be true. Like the, getting off the hedonic treadmill of like comedy for a while, where like the only, the only feeling that feels good is next. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:20:52 And then like having that, like come to a pause for a while, as fucked up as everything is, like that was like a little bit of a silver lining where it was like, all right, let's slow down for a minute. And we're all going to act super weird going back because we are already awkward. And now it's like, right let's slow down for a minute like and we're all gonna act super weird going back because we are already awkward and now it's like even these small things it's like you know
Starting point is 00:21:10 what i realized it's like i was so excited to see all the people that it's like we're not like friends but i'm excited to see you that i forget all the people that like you have to be like oh you're on the show too okay cool and i like i've just completely put all those like it's like a high school it's like you're not thinking about anybody that you don't like and then all of a sudden you see them and you're like saying like hi hi hi and then you see someone you're like oh you exist too i remember now hey do you remember when you tweeted at me six months ago yeah okay good to see you. That's so funny. I forgot how many comedians I don't like.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Yeah. Exactly. I thought I liked everybody. And then it was like, I went to this show and I was like, oh God, I forgot. Not at all. I don't even think I like most of them. I don't like most people. I mean, most people are bad.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I have a bit about how I just disagree with Anne Frank fundamentally on that. Where it's like, I don't think people are good yeah you know but agree to disagree she was so young a lot of fundamental she was young she was 14 just like when i started comedy you know a lot of fundamental disagreements with anne frank same yeah absolutely i read your book and just highlight just like a lot of core issues. No, no. X's and red. That's like an anti-Semite reading like Ed Frank's book, just making notations on the side.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I mean, she saw the Nazis, but she didn't live to see Twitter. I think she would have a different outlook. Grammar correcting. I know. Exactly. It's like she didn't see all these people's thoughts. My name is Ian Carmel at Ian Carmel on twitter at ian carmel on instagram at laura sam's err on uh zoom at jewish laura sam's on sean's gonna have a baby in about five
Starting point is 00:22:53 weeks app uh what do i got going on watch the late late show with james corden where i am our uh andy i am our andy richter and and will continue to be for the foreseeable future and listen to all fantasy everything. And that'll get you there. That'll get you there for God's sake. I got to say, I like how much musical stuff you guys do on the James Corden. So much. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Jim Jam's a musical boy for sure. He's a big musical boy. He'll just be walking around singing. Well, I won't mention any shows, but that's just his default speed. He's got a good voice, man. I say it all the but that's just his default speed. He's got a good voice, man. I say it all the time. He's a good singer. He does have a good voice.
Starting point is 00:23:28 That's the thing. I don't trust straight men with good voices, though. They've been too praised their whole lives. Straight theater dudes are like, that's a whole fucking creature. I've encountered a lot of those. Like straight musical theater guys. They're egotistical, but insecure. And it's like, don't straight men have enough?
Starting point is 00:23:48 Do you need to take theater, too? i think that we're all good with that there is like this matthew morrison interview him the guy from glee yeah i'm talking about yeah and he was like they're like he's like yeah i actually don't care when people say that i'm gay because like like actually like i get like the hottest pussy in the world because i'm like a straight musical theater guy and it's like unfortunately that's true did he say but you're like a piece of shit i probably put the word pussy in there like i he sang the word pussy it had the vibe of like that's what he wanted to say like you know yeah that's the word you could say without saying it for sure i can add it like as a woman i'm allowed to add him saying the word pussy. That's my right.
Starting point is 00:24:31 No, I do that with the N word, mostly in Anne Frank's book. Yeah, that's your notations. This actually, if I could add a note. Not sure. Yeah. Not sure. What? No, no, that's what I was.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Keep going. I blew the riff. I blew the fucking riff, guys. All right? Marsha studied you studied musical theater you've you've written a couple of uh shows i've written for never studied self-taught self-taught musical theater student self-taught self-taught musical theater accomplished musical i mean just performer writer i've written for two tonys and we do crosswalk the musical on the Late Late Show. Oh my God, I remembered that. Actually, I blocked that out of my mind because I was so jealous.
Starting point is 00:25:09 I was like, you know that thing where it's like, it actually hurts when you're one degree away from it as opposed to two or three? It's the worst. When it's so far, you feel like it's untouchable. You're like, yeah, I'm just going to enjoy the Tonys. But then you see somebody who writes for it and you're like, and I have to block that out. They don't let you go to any of the shows other than the Tonys, if that i saw i didn't see hamilton i never saw they should pay for you to go to all the shows they wouldn't they wouldn't do it they're like you're on your own get like infer what you can from like the previews you've seen but um you know so we have musical chops david and sean are also here so let's do it let's fucking
Starting point is 00:25:42 david and sean you showed up. Good job. Well, to work it up, I got a little fucking, I got a little bit. Sean knows Disney. Sean's been watching musicals for the last couple of days. I'm excited to find out which. Have you been watching musicals the last couple of days? I did some homework.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Yeah. Yeah. I dove in. The way we determine the order of the draft is through a rollicking game of rock, paper, scissors. I don't know how drafting works. I feel like I should tell you guys. I'll explain it.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Sean's about to break it down. But we determine the order with a game of rock, paper, scissors played between the three of you. And we throw on shoot. So here we go. Okay. Rock, paper, scissors. Shoot. David wins.
Starting point is 00:26:19 David wins. David wins. Boom, boom. Damon wins. Knocked them both down. David wins. Damon wins. For the listeners at home, David threw rock. And Sean boom. Damon Wayans. Knocked them both down. Damon Wayans. For the listeners at home,
Starting point is 00:26:28 David threw rock and Sean and I both threw scissors. Paint the picture. Sure did. Classic mistake. David, as the winner of Rock, Paper, Scissors, it is incumbent upon you to determine the order of today's draft, but before you do that, I will remind you it is a serpentine draft. And what is that? That's a great question, Sean.
Starting point is 00:26:44 To explain how the draft works it is if you roll your ankle skateboarding and the doctor prescribes uh heat and ice after 72 hours so basically the way the draft works is uh it's like if you were to ice your ankle for about 10 minutes and then you wait about an hour and then about 10 minutes, and then you wait about an hour, and then you ice it again. And then you wait about an hour, and then you go from ice to heat. So then you want to put a hot pack on your ankle. But you only want to do it for about 10 minutes. A lot of people think you want to do it longer than that.
Starting point is 00:27:17 You only do about 10 minutes. Then you wait like an hour or two. And then you might take a bath. Instead of doing the hot pack, you just want to warm it up with a bath because, you know, you're kind of dirty. And so you take a bath, and then you're take a bath instead of doing the hot pack you just want to warm it up with a bath because you know you're kind of dirty and so you take a bath and then you're out of the bath then you wait a few hours and then you got to put the cold back on so you put the cold back on wait like another hour and then again put the cold back on and then pretty much so you go cold cold down to heat and then heat heat and then from heat down to cold and then over to cold. Do like that.
Starting point is 00:27:46 That helped. So Marsha, basically what it means is if you pick fourth in the first round, you pick first in the second round, we go through the draft making picks. So David's going to determine the order. We're going to pick our musicals. Once a musical is picked,
Starting point is 00:27:59 it's off the board. Nobody else can take it. And we're going to do it. I gotcha. And then how do we know who wins? We're just going to fucking feel it. We'll do we'll do a twitter poll just drafting but we'll feel it and also there's somebody named afe mel kuiper who will grade us on our pick there's there's many mechanisms and you'll hear about it on twitter for uh damn near a week now david with
Starting point is 00:28:18 that you're gonna say for decades for decades i did too and i was gonna be like it'll will be longer than a week. Our fans will haunt you for the rest of your lives. They'll come to your shows they'll scream at you for your pics. David
Starting point is 00:28:30 what will the order of today's draft be? I'm going to go David, Marsha, Sean, Ian. Hot corner. David, Sean Marsha, Ian that is the order.
Starting point is 00:28:41 David, Marsha, Sean David, Marsha, Sean, Ian Motherfucker. I'm so fucking stupid I'm stupid and I fucking suck now we're in the Broadway spirit here we go no no no
Starting point is 00:28:52 clap yourself mommy made me mash my M&M's I was just gonna ask Marsha do you have any do you have any like warm ups before you sing I actually hate warming up it's like a weird thing i have like all this stuff i think because honestly i'm just like add or something like i didn't do well in music theory classes and i never did that well in like lessons um that's why i only started doing the musical
Starting point is 00:29:18 stuff like honestly like five or six years ago because i didn't ever think i was like that good or piano or singing because I can't like focus. So I don't like doing warm ups because I just find them so boring. And then I was like, you know, everyone's like, you just you have to warm up. So what I do is I'll just like find a song that I like that's like kind of simple and like warm up to it. Honestly, there's like some Taylor Swift songs that work really well because it's just like four chords. She's a musical genius. No, she's I mean, she's a songwriter. Like, yeah, like I'll give it to her. But there's like some taylor swift songs that work really well because it's just like four chords she's a musical genius and no she's i mean she's a songwriter like yeah like i'll give it to her but it's like pop songs in general like are good anything that's like in my little mid-range
Starting point is 00:29:54 but i love i used to do rosa parks by outcast as a as like a vocal dexterity warm-up before like improv shows and stuff which is a very white guy doing improv sort of thing to do but damn no that's the that's a different one it's yeah no it's the uh uh god how does it uh it goes it goes real fast hey yeah yeah yeah oh yeah what you do hey hey what's that book i'm at a gypsy and she hit me to some life game to stimulate the left and right brain yeah that's what i like to warm up as just something like fun like that but i honestly have a hard time because it just feels foolish when i'm like alone in my apartment singing at full volume no matter what even that's why it's like this quarantine's been weird because when i have to record myself it feels very foolish singing full
Starting point is 00:30:39 volume by myself i feel like my neighbors can hear me and it's embarrassing but well i'm trying to you gotta come out west make a rap song get to like rick rubin's malibu studio oh yeah sean's making a rap song oh okay sean i'm trying but it's it touches i can't have any part of that but i wish you luck um i have to send i have to send a sample to our buddy isaac and it's hard to i don't know i sound like such a moron so it's hard hard to even get the sample to him. Anyway. You know what's a good warm-up? This is just nice to do in general, even though it sounds really stupid, is you go
Starting point is 00:31:11 you do this weird it gets from your upper nasal cavity you just do this deep outward sigh. You should do that before a show because it helps and then go all the way down. It really feels kind of relaxing. Corden will walk around doing that before a thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I've been learning the modern major general. I am a very modern, I'm a modern major general. That one, I love fast songs. That and the, from the musical Company. Oh my God. My friend Rachel was so impressive. She was doing the, like the marriage song where it's like i'm not getting married i'm not getting married today and it's really fast any sonheim is like crazy yeah we'll get it which we'll get into i always want to see twista like do like something like modern major general like really fast like musical
Starting point is 00:32:00 theater like a really fast rapper that would be. Because it's like the whole thing. I've seen local productions of Pirates of Penzance where honestly it's make or break for the show. If the modern major general is good. And the thing is, it has to be both fast and clear. It's not impressive if it's fast, but not clear. It's not impressive if it's clear, but not fast. Yes. It has to be clear and fast.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Listen, when you got it, you got it. I don't have it yet, but I'm getting there. Ian, I think you could do it. I am the very model of a modern major general of information, vegetable, animal, and mineral. I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical from Marathon to Waterloo in order categorical.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I'm very well acquainted too with math. It's mathematical. I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical. About binomial theorem, I am teeming with a lot of news with. I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical about binomial theorem. I am teaming with a lot of news with many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse. I think that's all I have so far, but I'm getting there.
Starting point is 00:32:53 It's amazing. All you have to do, just do it slow, then increase it by like half a beat, then a beat, then two, and then you'll just get it faster and faster, but get it down slow.
Starting point is 00:33:01 And then you'll got it. That's my new act. That's I'm just doing that at stand up that should be your opener i would actually die if somebody just started before they even said like hey how's it going it's just like i am the major matter of a minor major general oh my god honestly i'm target demo for that joke i'm good that's gonna be my new york set i'm the exact intersection whenever like stand-up people do like musical theater jokes and nobody's laughing. I'm like, I'm here for you. I have you. We're going to, we're going to get

Everything is brought to you by policy genius, policy genius. I'm going to hit you. We're going to talk about some life insurance stuff real quick.

With Policy Genius, you can find life insurance policies that start at just $292 per year for $1 million of coverage. Some options offer same-day approval and avoid
Starting point is 00:34:12 unnecessary medical exams. So I have life insurance. It had nothing to do with me. It's my wife did everything, but it's tough. It's a hassle to go through and get. You have to research it, which I don't like researching anything. If I buy something, I just go into the person that works at the store and say, what is right in the middle? What's not the best? What's not the worst? And that is how I do it. With life insurance, obviously, you want to be a little bit more careful about that. But how do I know where to start? You know what I mean? I have no idea what to do, where to look. Nobody does. And that's what

They're not out there being smarmy. They just want to help you out. They're answering the questions, handling the paperwork, shaking the hands, kissing the babies. They're doing it all for you. And if you don't have life insurance, I know it sucks to talk about or to think about,
Starting point is 00:35:21 but you're just going to stick people with the bill. You're going to stick your loved ones with the bill. Don't nobody want to do that. You know what I mean? Get covered. I don't want anyone inheriting my debt. And then they see what I spent money on, probably. I don't need all that nonsense in my life. Get it covered. Get an insurance policy. Get it handled. And like I said, Policy Genius gives you unbiased advice from a licensed expert support team.

In the musicals All Fantasy Everything draft, what will the first pick of this draft be? I mean, it's first round. I got to take the biggest peeps of real estate I can grab that I'm familiar with.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I got to take Dreamgirls. Yeah, absolutely. It's like no questions asked. Wonderful choice. Yeah, it explains itself banger after banger after banger flawless musical that is one that i watched when i was doing my homework that is a movie i've never seen you would not that surprises me because i would think that was right up your alley i it is it is turns out when i watched it i was like this is my alley what am i doing that's the jamie fox alley yeah eddie murphy is such a good singer and has such a good performance in that movie jimmy thunder early
Starting point is 00:41:11 yeah he also has a sad face i like yeah i like sad face murphy the best yeah older sad face murphy's good yeah mr church in the end of life with him and martin lawrence when he's when they when they got the old makeup on he's just like it's so sad what about fucking i and i am telling you i'm not going to i was about to say the original broadway cast i think who is it i was just looking up i think it was played by jennifer holiday it's just like incredible like the videos the old videos of the original dream girls cast on broadway it's such like an unbelievable song where it's just like, so tears down the house. So emotional has to be done.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Right. But it's also very like subtle. I mean, just an unbelievable like diva song. Like it's just incredible. It's like a rite of passage for divas to like sing that it's fucking sing it with all the emotion. How old is the musical?
Starting point is 00:42:04 Like, like when did it, I think it's from the late seventies, 80s if i'm not wrong i'm gonna look it up let me find yeah 1981 okay yeah because that's all that's the only thing i had known about it before i watched the movie was just that song right and i am telling you yeah it's a big i mean what's interesting is like there's not a lot of like black musicals like that like there is not especially not like created like by black writers like for a black audience like there's movies like hairspray where the message is like very white written and sort of for like white audiences like racial messages like and written by john waters that one yeah which i mean hairspray is a great it's a great show but it's just like this song i feel
Starting point is 00:42:52 like is such an important like audition piece for like so many girls in musical theater there's also this great musical that was supposed to be revived oh wait i should save it for the draft we can't say picks. But now that we're on dream girl, I mean, that's what Jennifer Hudson went from American idol dropout to fucking Oscar winner because of dream girls. She won an Oscar.
Starting point is 00:43:15 She won an Oscar. I thought Beyonce was well cast too. I know people were criticizing, but I think she was really well cast because she's kind of, she played it really well because she's kind of she played it really well because she's kind of supposed to be a little bit like weak but like the star and like you know it was like i felt like she was really well cast for that yeah i'll say worked on her acting people don't give her credit it's like if you see how she went she was like i'm determined
Starting point is 00:43:42 to be an actor and she started out really bad and and then worked her ass off and got a lot better by the time she was in Dreamgirls. Gold member to Dreamgirls. That's like three years. Foxy Cleopatra to fucking, I mean, what's her? Dina Jones? I mean, I don't know. Dina. Yeah, Dina.
Starting point is 00:43:59 We all know she started on Smart Guy. That was her acting debut. Really? Oh, my God. He's a smart guy beyonce might come up again in one of my later picks if i'm if i'm if my hand if my hand is if my hand is forced don't you you mother fuck is that what you're gonna do that start all right well if my hands seen it and you're a real beyonce it's not good real... What else is Beyonce in? It's not good. We're going to find out.
Starting point is 00:44:25 It's not good. It's not good at all. Dreamgirl is kind of loosely based on Diana Ross from The Supremes, by the way. So Beyonce's character is like a Diana Ross kind of like... So what I was going to ask, I was talking to the queen about it, so is Eddie Murphy's kind of based on James Brown,
Starting point is 00:44:40 or am I just being insane? No, James Brown never fell off. You mean Jamie Foxx? No, Eddie Murphy. Like he does that last performance, but spoilers, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:49 Ray Charles, like kind of Jackie Wilson. Well, cause he, he seems so much like James Brown. Am I thinking of the right? It's like, I think it's like an amalgamation of a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:44:58 I don't know. It's supposed to be like amalgamation. And so is the, so are the dream girls. They are based on the Supremes, but girls they are based on the supremes but they're also based on like this formula that they were like doing to like black female singing groups in the 60s because it was like a lot of honestly like jewish producers like doing the same formula of kind of like give them two years like exploit the money and then find a new group so it was
Starting point is 00:45:23 kind of about a group like in some like it's like where it's like you see them become successful at the end but there are some takes where it's like more ambiguous like see that's that's the trap that too thick will not fall no sir i'm still thick by the way just for people who think too thick is off just because i lost a little bit of weight like don't fucking don't fucking go there bro i'm still thick i'm still thick as hell it's in the heart florence ballard the character that uh jennifer hudson's character is like based on florence ballard from the supremes died at 32 wow damn crazy blood clots so much alcoholism and like just like drugs and like horrible every like music star you look from from the 50s and 60s.
Starting point is 00:46:05 You're like, oh, what happened to Frankie and the teenagers? It's like Frankie died at 18. Stayed a teenager forever. Well, they were going to have to be Frankie and the adults after that. They wouldn't let them. Dream girls. First pick off the board. Amazing pick.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Marcia. Time for your first pick. All right. first pick off the board amazing too depressing time for your first pick all right I'm really torn because it's like in terms of like who will perform better who do I want on my team like should I talk out loud what I'm torn between and why give it the well you can't say
Starting point is 00:46:38 the other one because we don't want to reveal picks that might come later so you got to have got to have the internal dialogue you can say why you went with the one you get i am going although i'm tempted between the one that i'm sure someone will pick later i'm going to go with less miserable as the french say obviously translates to the marbles yes it's the marbles it's based on los marbles french for less moonves the marvels about bastel day because listen if we're talking pure bang for your buck oh my god this is always going to be at the high school it's always going to be at the regional theater
Starting point is 00:47:24 it's always going to be on broadway off broadway touring in japan Mis is always going to be at the high school. It's always going to be at the regional theater. It's always going to be on Broadway, off Broadway, touring in Japan. It's always going to be translated into all these different languages. And the thing about Les Mis, as I'm getting older and learning more about music, is they pretty much ripped off everybody. Anything that you're like, that kind of sounds like this song from this other musical. It's like, yep, Les Mis came after that musical. It's like, yep, Les Mis came after that musical. And it's like, oh, okay. And I'm also realizing the score is just these four chords and this...
Starting point is 00:47:53 It's wild when you see the source material for all this other stuff. I thought Jerry Maguire was one of those where I was like, a lot of people snake this. So it's interesting to see. Jerry Maguire? You're saying Les Mis is sort of the jerry mcguire of musicals a lot of people a lot of people think that's a common yeah i've never heard that wow popular opinion in idaho you need to go yeah you need to go i can see that it's like on their
Starting point is 00:48:17 political science outside nails on the on the front lawn yeah well jerry mcguire was miserable so it's you know it's i could i could go on for days but i digress we're not talking about that but really just classy like i was always really upset that i never got to play gavroche because obviously i wanted young eponine but it's like i honestly think gavroche is more my speed and then i didn't realize till later like jacqueline novak actually played gavroche as a kid so they did allow girls to do it in some productions it's not something i realized as a child i feel really upset i feel really upset that i never got to play gavroche because i
Starting point is 00:48:53 still would kill it even if they let me how do you do my name's gavroche these are the people here's my pack so i can do that not much to look at nothing posh just the funnest part spoiler alert gets really sad um oh my god really why don't we do like gavroche and occupy like a like a reset it it's an occupy wall street you play a kid i can absolutely see my high school my high school our like senior play was they set god's spell like in our high school so it's like they would definitely do that they would absolutely have it be that um those four chords though the and i mean classic tale about just like who is actually morally correct even if one person is labeled
Starting point is 00:49:43 a criminal what's like what's the banger from lame is like what's the one that everybody knows the girl's song is on my own on my own pretending he's beside me that's like the classic every girl wants to be eponine so that she can belt on my own because eponine is the more interesting character the belter because that's this little frail like oh marius, Marius, I'm only here for you. It's like so boring. Everyone hates Cosette. And then there's a lot of Jean Valjean songs, but the big one is, who am I?
Starting point is 00:50:14 Two, four, six, oh, one. And he's like, because this whole thing is his prisoner number is two, four, six, oh, one. And Jean Valjean keeps referring to him as that. And he's like, I'm not that. I'm Jean Val valjean so his big song who am i i mean that's a big one that's just like a prisoner who is who like he doesn't escape he gets released if you don't know the plot of les mis turn off the pod honestly get a hold
Starting point is 00:50:37 of yourself get through the ads get through the ads get through the ads but then turn it off i gotta remain a part of the show until the end otherwise yes so the plot of les mis loosely is about jean valjean who gets out of prison after 10 years for stealing a loaf of bread okay number one aladdin so then it's like um he becomes he like gets caught again but like fakes his identity so that he doesn't have to serve out his parole. Very classic modern American story. And then he becomes a mayor of a town. But the whole thing, this is the part where when I was first watching it, they don't explain it and it doesn't make any sense. Jean Valjean's whole thing, like the thing people know about him across France is that he's like crazy strong.
Starting point is 00:51:24 He's like, everybody knows this about Jean. they're like that guy's super strong so javert sees the mayor lift this like what's supposed to be like a 2 000 pound horse cart off of this guy who's been crushed by it and that's enough for javert to go oh my god that's a prisoner I knew 20 years ago Javert's like only one guy is strong yes but Jean Valjean's a good person so basically the Javert was framing a different guy for Jean Valjean's crimes and then Jean Valjean comes forward but it's a whole thing but basically he has to save this woman's daughter because the woman died and it's kind of Jean Valjean's fault and that is oh that's the other famous song in the show is Anne Hathaway's like crying song
Starting point is 00:52:10 from Les Mis where she sings I Dreamed a Dream which if you want to know I happen to know in both English and Spanish Sonia y un sueño tiempo atrás I like learned it in Spanish for nobody asked me to I literally just wanted to.
Starting point is 00:52:25 It was insane. And I still know it. Yeah, that's a song I was thinking of. That's a great song. It's about a woman who's forced into prostitution. It's a great show because it just shows how tenuous poverty makes your life. Where it's like you can lose a job because her boss is obsessed with her sexually and then all the girls turn on her and then she has to become a prostitute and then she
Starting point is 00:52:50 she sells her hair she gets it's implied she gets like i don't know if it's like scarlet fever or the plague or something but she dies i think it's syphilis or something like selling your teeth she sells her gold teeth because no she sells her hair she sells her hair the whole thing about fontaine is she's like this gorgeous like young woman who has like long hair and then by the time she dies she's like sold her hair and she's old yeah she's supposed to look very old another banger master of the house master of House. That's the only song I know. Yes, that's a good one. Ready with the hunchback. I would love to be Madame Tenardier.
Starting point is 00:53:29 That's such a great song. We should play the Tenardiers. Oh, my God. We would be so good as the Tenardiers, Ian. We would kill it. It would be so fun. I called you guys the Tenardiers, and I don't even know what it was back in the day.
Starting point is 00:53:41 I was just like, you guys, have you ever been called the Tenardiers? The Tenardiers, dude. I had no idea. There was the Neptunes and the Tenardiers. The Neptunes. That's definitely somebody's band name is the Tenardiers. The Dog Pound.
Starting point is 00:53:53 The Up and Smoke Tour. The Dog Pound, Dre, and the Tenardiers. Vix is quite a lover, but there's not much there. But there's not much there. It's so good yes classic show and then one day more is like a fucking huge oh god and that's the thing there's so many hits one day more nothing has made me like i remember being like 16 and being like i can feel like it just makes it's like i love a fucking 75 part harmony yeah i just love that shit it's like everybody's singing
Starting point is 00:54:23 different notes and the high school is botching it but just it works somehow love that shit it's like everybody's singing different notes and the high school is botching it but just it works somehow like you know it's really fun i love a big choral number yeah the lighting's great they have the revolving stage in les mis famously parodied in urine town um do you hear the people sings another baby do you hear the people oh my god actually those are my two favorite songs are red and black cafe into red the blood of angry man that's my favorite song we did in our um handmaid's tale the musical we did a parody um called fish the band i used to love because like the leader like the leader of this underground rebellion played by my friend
Starting point is 00:55:02 drew it's like a huge fishhead and like trey anastasio dies jamming and that's their sign to like finally help the women that's so funny like i have him sing it's like fish the band i used to love dead my heart to fish can't jam like it always crushed it was like people that. It was so fun because we did the whole. So the Les Mis thing, the march that they do, it's a one leg march because the people try and recreate it doesn't look right. The thing is, you're actually pivoting on one leg. You're not marching with two legs.
Starting point is 00:55:36 You're just going back and forth. I wish the viewers at home could see what I'm doing. I'm doing the Les Mis march. You're just stepping forward, stepping back, stepping forward, stepping back. Yes, you'll show just Google Les Mis march, but're just stepping forward, stepping back, stepping forward, stepping back. Yes, you'll show up. Just Google Les Mis March, but it's really fun to do. So my pick is Les Mis, because you know what? She's solid. She's
Starting point is 00:55:51 steady. She's always going to be cast. She's given people new opportunities. She's consistent. She's not the most, you know, it's like it's not it's not MacArthur genius. It's hitting with everybody though you know what i mean exactly it's broadcast appeal when we did the when we did the carpool karaoke we
Starting point is 00:56:12 did a broadway version of carpool karaoke that like audra mcdonald and uh and and then lynn and manuel miranda and like court and a couple other people you can call them lynn lynn lynn i just forgot manuel miranda for a second i wasn't trying to be like lynn they did one day more they did one day more and they all fucking loved it they just let all those broadway heads yeah i sing it in my car listen if people are listening at home or years in the future like i'm not saying that lay ms is the best musical ever written or even necessarily my favorite but it's meant a lot to me and it's steady and it's always gonna be there so you just gotta accept it and you gotta draft it because
Starting point is 00:56:57 she's a good player one day more on my workout playlist master of the house on my workout on my workout playlist because like musical theater gets you running. I have a lot of musical theater songs because they're just like on just like... All I heard was your car in New York. Good on you. I don't have a car. Oh, no. I'm talking
Starting point is 00:57:17 about like if I drive somewhere, please. I wish I had... I'm talking about a rental. That's what I miss actually is singing in in a car because it's like it's not the same here sean jordan your first pick little shop little shop little shop i just saw that before the quarantine all the cops little shop of horrors oh oh oh dude that musical that so when i was a kid mom, there's probably 10 movies that I know front to back because my mom just loved them. That was the only musical.
Starting point is 00:57:53 When I was like five, I started watching that movie and it's so dope. All of it. Howard Ashman, dude. The OG. Howard Ashman wrote that one. Who went on to write a few other big Disney ones, which I won't mention. It's such a fun idea. What else did he write?
Starting point is 00:58:10 I'm looking it up. Well, don't say it. Like the big early 90s ones. Yeah. Oh, we can't say it. Before he succumbed. Oh, wow, he did. Otherwise, I won't have a list.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Before he died from AIDS. Oh, gosh. Yeah. Fucking, dude, Suddenly Seymour? Yeah, man. Suddenly Seymour? Yeah, man. Suddenly Seymour. I can play that. It's so fun.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And the girl that plays Audrey is so dope. And then obviously Steve Martin with the dentist song. I mean, killer, killer shit. I still think of that when I go to the dentist and it makes me in a decent mood when I'm at the dentist, even though that whole song is about hurting you. I'm just like, that's pretty funny. But this is why I was realizing with the dentist, like Steve Martin's so perfectly cast.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Cause with that show, it's like, you can't actually cast somebody who's scary or creepy. They have to be so camp that like, even as a villain, it's just like funny and fun. Cause you're like, that's Steve Martin.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Like he's a sociopath, but like, okay, it's Steve Martin. Like, and then there's the whole him and bill murray playing off each other uh side note i was talking about what about bob the other day gone found out that bill murray and richard dreyfus hated each other on set i'll buy that
Starting point is 00:59:17 bill murray i think either hated you or liked you yeah yeah it seemed like there was no middle ground seems like richard dreyfus probably incredibly self-serious and pretentious and Bill Murray was probably an unprofessional alcoholic. Why are you choking around all the time? Just like furious. Well, that was the word as I guess old Willie Murray just got
Starting point is 00:59:38 plowed every night and there's some shit. Like if you read the IMDb facts, there was a night where he like threw the producer's sunglasses and broke them or something i could see bill murray getting old fast dude yeah i could see hanging out with bill murray being a real fucking like i could see me and bill knocking back a whole bottle of johnny blue and i'd be right there with him i think there's one of two ways it goes either it's like one of the best nights of your life or like for some reason you become his foil and you're just like trying to fucking try to go to bed at a decent hour tonight, Bill.
Starting point is 01:00:09 All right. Yeah. Well, we have different ideas of decent. So it's women. But that's OK. Yeah. Who doesn't? Who doesn't?

They'll go to bed at like 11 and he wants to like crash a bar mitzvah three states over like go to bed yeah dude they'll go to bed when i was and i still but like adam will tell me like it's sleepovers and stuff i was the one who would get super pissed off if people wouldn't go to sleep like when i was in college him and adam and phil when you were in college yeah when i was in college having sleepovers they'd come stay at the crib in vermilion and they'd be watching like top gun downstairs and i would storm down the stairs like stomping you were that guy

Starting point is 01:03:46 It's a story of the Jews who were Shtetl people. It's a story of Jews lived in these sort of like self-segregated small villages in Poland and Russia and Eastern Europe. And they were called Shtetls. And then the Russians wanted the Jews out of those villages so that they could move non-jews in and they basically intimidated them out over a series of years through these violent like uprisings and then they're called pogroms these sort of like violent like demonstrations by the russian army and then eventually the czar um said that all the jews have to get out so that's when there was like a massive immigration to america that's when tevye came here that's when my
Starting point is 01:04:29 zadie came here or his parents that's grandpa and yiddish that's where the yiddish language came from is because it's a common they all spoke yiddish it's a combination of hebrew and german that they all spoke in russia and poland and like that whole area we were polish too we were that's when my family went to belgium and paris from from during the pogroms i have and pardon my ignorance uh is gentile a term for every non-jew yeah right every non-jewish person is yeah yeah okay although i don't know if we would call like muslims gentiles it seems that's what i was wondering if it was like a white person that wasn't jewish or if it was gentiles also we use the term goyim which is like yiddish for like non-jews we i found out we're from a town called pres pres bores pres

You know, and he want to hit like the first week was him lip syncing that whole song from the music. It was a real dank. That's amazing. Yeah, it starts out with that. That like that weird like train thing with all the salesmen. That song, you know know where they're like
Starting point is 01:08:25 yeah yes sir yeah and it's so funny because like i remember as a kid it seems so cool but when you watch like local productions do it it really is embarrassing because they have to like bounce in their seats and they're not good at it they're like but you got another territory but you got another territory yes the territory yeah it's really like it's off beat so people always fuck it up because it's supposed to be purposely like off yeah listen it's music man is like mountain dew for me where it's like once a year it'll all randomly crave it yes like i'll be like i randomly want to listen to Music Man. And then the rest of the time, I'm like, nah.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Now, Marsha, it's funny you bring up the Mountain Dew. I've been on what you would call a Mountain Dew kick lately, where I've been trying. They have these breakfast dews that have 180 mg of caffeine. Oh, Sean. I found out secret. Breakfast dews? Breakfast dews, bro.
Starting point is 01:09:24 And if you go to dollar general they got they got the exclusive on pineapple mountain dew did you guys know that they have i didn't know they had a pineapple mountain people have been tweeting at me this i know people have been tweeting yellow i haven't got it yet i'll probably go get it today since i'm having what they call a day it's yellow that's true you're having a day that's yellow at um oh crap it looks like the oregon ducks uniform probably it's yellow that's true you're having a day that's yellow at um oh crap it looks like the oregon ducks uniform probably it's just one of those like colors that doesn't exist in nature where you're like is that they call that sunrise i don't know sunrise with some
Starting point is 01:09:55 smoke over it there's a some fast food restaurant has the exclusive on peach mountain dew which come on what are we doing that sounds good that's what know, I've had that. I had Peach Fanta when they have those... There's this Popeyes out here that has those machines where it has a million different soda flavors. I'm surprised Zach didn't just pop up in the Zoom call when you said that. But it's like you have to
Starting point is 01:10:19 actually be smart about it and not make a suicide drink and just pick a random flavor that you want to try. Because because it's like i would like mix it too much and then it's like you know suicide is no country for old men that's some shit to do when you're like when you're like 14 rollerblading to a mcdonald's exactly the music i love 76 trombones too. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. I think I've, we've, I've pitched doing the music man as a crosswalk, the musical with the intention of doing a song called seven or six trombones.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Cause it's a much more, much more scaled down products. Trombones. Parade. Back then, small white towns were pouring all of their infrastructure into marching bands. Yeah. That was a huge staple of the economy and culture of small town white Indiana. It was massive.
Starting point is 01:11:19 It was just that you had enough money for 76 trombones. They were hoarding the wealth. Well, you know, Larry Bird was actually going to be the 77th trombone, but they didn't have one. And look at what we got out of that. You discovered basketball. It was also, the Music Man parodied perfectly in the Simpsons
Starting point is 01:11:35 in the monorail episode. That's like, that's all Music Man. I honestly think that might've been one of those things where I saw the Simpsons episode first. And then when I, by the time I saw Music Man was like, this is a weird parody of Monorail. It was 100% that for me.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Me too. Wayla. Completely. Monorail? Monorail? Monorail. When Simpsons did musical stuff, I loved it. Good job, Conan O'Brien.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Rice Classic. Good job, Conan. You Harvard, all you Harvard nutcases, you gave us something before you took over late night. Finally. Sean Jordan, time for your second pick, dude. My second pick. Oh, now I see what you were trying to explain with that freaking cold compress metaphor. You mean what I perfectly
Starting point is 01:12:15 explained. Yes, sir. Just got to think outside the bun. Now, my second pick, I will pick the aforementioned Aladdin, as it is. So this is my ignorance with musicals. I wasn't sure. Wait, I'm joking.
Starting point is 01:12:32 What happened? Wait, what did I miss? Dude, she called you a hack. No, I mean, you're allowed to choose a Disney musical as long, you know, Disney's ruining Broadway. I'm going to say this while my girlfriend is within earshot. The second Howard Ashman pick in a row for Sean Jordan nice oh he wrote Aladdin he didn't write all of it but he wrote that was like the movie is great the movie yeah Disney movie musicals are great I just don't like how they're taking them on Broadway but this is where we're gonna run into like how I'm gonna
Starting point is 01:12:59 have to do this because I I I could I could go on a list and pick what i know were like allegedly the best musicals ever but i you know i've only seen a couple we'll get into it more but uh so something like you gotta pick what you know i have to pick what i know to an extent i mean i have drafted weed as a smell i was just calling you hack to be ornery I felt like it's good for the pod. No, no, no. Talk shit. He's hack. Trust me. These two have never pulled a punch. I like Aladdin, buddy. I like Aladdin, too.
Starting point is 01:13:32 I like Aladdin. I'm just saying, Frozen on Broadway is bad. Like, Frozen the movie is good, but... Well, you know. Draft one. I might draft another but as it is I'm drafting Aladdin
Starting point is 01:13:47 Arabian Nights it was we didn't get enough of vaguely off wait hold on no not your voice I meant the song oh absolutely yeah
Starting point is 01:14:01 more often than not oh my god your face looked a little crushed i can take criticism i can i'm a striver i'm a striver i want the notes the song we learned something about aladdin marshall i'm going to pose this question to you okay was aladdin an orphan yes or no oh interesting they never explicitly say it, do they? But I believe he is. In the sequels. So what we learn is in Aladdin 3, his Adaddon comes back into the picture.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Adaddon, stop. His Adaddon is a hot piece, by the way. His Adaddon is hot. Oh, I bet Adaddon is hot as hell. Hotter than Aladdin, even. Man, I never thought of that, because Lad is little, Dad is big. Dad is little, Dad is big. And now, Ian, if you could please, I never thought of that because lad is little, dad is big. Dad in Aladdin. Lad is little, dad is big.
Starting point is 01:14:46 And now, Ian, if you could please, I try to tell Laura, what is the piece of trivia about Robin Williams, why he didn't come back for two? Robin Williams, so when he signed on to the first one, one of his stipulations was he didn't want, he was like, I'll do it. I just don't want it to be all merchandising. I don't want that because I know what you guys do with movies uh i don't want you to merchandise the genie and all this stuff and obviously disney did they were like no what the fuck are you talking about with disney the one thing you could buy you could buy like genie like condoms and shit like
Starting point is 01:15:20 you know what i mean it was like everything some genie had some Jeannie Cologne. Yeah, yeah. I had Jeannie Jaboes, dude. Sean Jordan was rocking them. Oh, Jeanne Boes? So when they made the second one, he was like, I'm not coming back. Fuck you guys. I'm not going to do it. For the third one, they really wanted him to come back. So Eisner bought him a Picasso? Yeah, I think that's what it was.
Starting point is 01:15:44 And he returned for the third one. As a sorry? Yeah, I think that's what it was. And he returned for the third one. As a sorry? Yeah. Wow. Because you have to be like, Disney will rope you into like seven movies, especially if you like really, apparently Jack Black is contractually obligated
Starting point is 01:15:58 to like seven Kung Fu Panda movies or something like that. But like, so it's like pretty wild sign on to the sequels they will keep you for the sequel it'd be hard to say no to like all that all that cheddar though it'd be tough because then you're like here's my here's my life here's generational wealth and then you're like am i willing to compromise i i would i'd sell out pretty quick i think if they were like sean seven kung fu. I'd be like, show me the dotted line. 100%. 1,000. I mean, 1 billion, 1 million percent. I know I do.
Starting point is 01:16:30 I'm so excited. That's why it's like, you know, I understand like when people get stuck in franchises and then can't like branch out artistically. But it's also like, that's the choice you made to be in four Twilight movies because it's going to be millions of dollars. Go do some local theater or something like if you know right like harry potter yeah yeah harry harry pooh harry did it good harry pooh he got his dick out there on broadway right after he did a lot of dicks on broadway too so it's hard to take it out it's hard to let you know that right he put his dude did equus and the dick was out dude the wand abracadabra so many girls i know were like i went to new york
Starting point is 01:17:10 it's like equus like it's like everyone was so obsessed with harry potter that the audience was just filled with daniels radcliffe was out girls randy dadcliffe dude uh marcia time for your second pick okay this is tough. Second pick is tough. You know, I'm torn between a lot of options. I mean, I respect Aladdin. I do.
Starting point is 01:17:32 That's a solid choice out of the Disney films. Thank you. Let's see. You already did Fiddler on the Roof. You know what? I'm going to go with where I'm from classic musical oklahoma oklahoma i'm sweeping down the plane it's how i learned to spell the word oklahoma
Starting point is 01:17:54 it's been revamped recently um i didn't actually like the most i thought the actors were amazing and the most recent broadway thing but it was like this very deconstructed... I just don't like artsy theater, honestly. I'd rather it be funny, smart, and all this stuff, and a little straightforward than this deconstructed... I don't like Pippin. Oh, I shouldn't say these other musicals. Now, two things. They all have great songs and great actors.
Starting point is 01:18:20 I'm going to attempt to spell Oklahoma, and then will you tell me what it's about? And maybe some listeners. So I'm going to attempt to spell it. O will you tell me what it's about and maybe some listeners. So I'm going to attempt to spell it. O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A. I don't think that was the major feat you thought it was. I learned how to spell because I was four years old when we moved. So my parents
Starting point is 01:18:41 taught me how to spell it. Let me stop you right there. T-A-U-G-H-T now if you could please tell me what Oklahoma is about A-B-O-U-T honestly for years I had no idea what Oklahoma was about because it's one of those musicals
Starting point is 01:18:58 that's like not really about that it's not really about what it's about you know what I mean it's about it's about a girl who can't say no it's about a girl who can't say no it's about like land rush 1900s oklahoma settling time and the fights between like farmers and cowboys as well as like other people that were coming in like people traveling through and it's like about a romance like between these two people well it's like it's a few romances like but it's a just a classic like rogers and hammerstein you know and in oklahoma they did
Starting point is 01:19:41 every year they'd have this like outdoor production of oklahoma where they had like real horses and stuff and everybody is like that's that's fun but it's crazy it's like even i've seen the show three times and even as you're asking me i'm like i don't actually know what the fuck it is about but it's like basically they revamped it in 2019 that marshall was talking about where they did it they made it kind of dark and very sexual and they gave you chili at intermission which the original kind of is like because there's a rape scene in the original or an implied an implied attempted rape and what's interesting is like i kind of i did really like that aspect i liked the whole revamped i just
Starting point is 01:20:22 didn't like specifically because i went also i went alone and a whole bunch of it nobody warned me like this this the audience lights are on the whole show so like that's part it just feels like you're watching a rehearsal yeah it's part of their like artistic choice i think it was to make it so that everybody's very like present and like stuff like that but i just didn't like it at all no and then that when the lights are off it's like pitch black so it's only those two things but what they did that was interesting is all the parts that were written because this is when you look back at old musicals and stuff it's like it was just like a campy joke about attempted rape and like yep that's gonna happen like you know and it's like so they took all of
Starting point is 01:21:04 and there's like murders and like threatens of gun violence so it's like they took all of those parts and really drew them out and made them as actually scary as they might be experienced or like should be experienced and i think that was like the comment they were trying to make there it's like you know which was cool but it's I swear, I've seen the show a billion times. I can name only half the characters. I know Curly and Ado Annie. That's like the two. That's what you need to know, right?
Starting point is 01:21:32 You just got to know Curly. You just got to know Curly in any show. You know Curly. You're good, man. Curly will handle it. Oh, my God. I'm so stupid. Do I get another draft?
Starting point is 01:21:38 Because I should have picked a different one. You'll get it in a minute. Yeah. In a minute, you'll get three more. But I'm using this because it's a classic just a classic rogers and hammerstein yeah oh yeah when uh i wrote on the tonys when they when like that in 2019 when it got the way like ali ali stroker who's ali stroker amazing amazing that her version of can't say no where she's like forget it's so fucking good she's so sexual in the show too
Starting point is 01:22:06 which is like great because she's like in her wheelchair and they have a guy fully like straddling her and they're like making out and it's really hot like and it's like it's really it's really cute like their romance we were doing a red carpet bit this is one of the worst moments of my life we were doing a red carpet bit and we like, I, we like James's parents were interviewing her and like, I had seen her performance at the, at the dress rehearsal. Like I hadn't seen the version of Oklahoma. Cause again,
Starting point is 01:22:33 we didn't get to go, but she was so fucking good. So I was like a little bit starstruck talking to her. And I told her to, I told her to break a leg and she's in a chair. And I just like, I'm sure that happens all the time it's a showbiz thing and she was so nice about it rolled away and then it like i it like occurred
Starting point is 01:22:50 to me and i was just like harsh oh fuck you carmel you piece of shit i always accidentally say shit like that oh my god just like the phrase you've never thought about and then suddenly you're like now i'm making it weird because i'm like thinking about it like i'm sure people tell her break a leg all the time all the time sure i hope so where'd it come from it's it's like you if you broke a leg you were you were lucky or something what i don't know you're not supposed to say good luck because of something like mcbeth or something i don't know yeah okay i don't even know that's all right it's just one of those is it etymology is that what the term like the origins of stuff yeah i don't know what the origins of break a leg are e-t-y-m-o-l-o-g-y i get that right out of bed out of bed david time
Starting point is 01:23:38 for your second and third picks uh my second pick is best little whorehouse in Texas. Whoa. Yes. Ooh, great pick. I love it. I've never seen it. I don't know. Oh, my gosh. I don't think I've ever seen the show. I've heard songs from it. Dolly and I've seen just like the movie I saw a few times and like Dolly and Burt together,
Starting point is 01:23:56 man. That is a charming ass couple. Yeah. And it's such a fun movie. And all the prostitutes. Talk about your offhanded rape jokes. There's definitely that also. Just flipping fun.
Starting point is 01:24:09 At one point, because I rewatched it for this draft, at one point, this guy's like, well, a lot of these boys like whores. And if you shut the whorehouse down, they're just going to be raping. And I was like, whoa. And that's true, though, isn't it? Unfortunately.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Yeah, it was. No, it was apt. But yeah, I like that. I will always love you is in that. Oh, wow. I love that messing around with you song. You got to love. They just accept that.
Starting point is 01:24:32 They're like, should we tell them not to do that? Like, no, no. Let's open the whorehouse. Yeah, I know we've talked about it, but she wrote I will always love you and Jolene in the same night. That's so buck to me i've never i will always love you story is so insane about this man that she worked for for years that she was trying to graciously it was his show she was working on right he had a tv show that she was always on it's and it's kind
Starting point is 01:24:58 it's different than the joan rivers dave letterman thing but it's like she worked for him for years and then very graciously tried to exit. Finally wrote this song, sang it on air for him. They had this whole, he's like, okay, even though I can't accept losing your talent. Basically, he was furious that her talent wouldn't belong to him anymore, that she was going to do
Starting point is 01:25:19 her own thing and it wouldn't benefit him directly in any way. But they had been friends for 20 years and she had done so much on his his show and then she very graciously left she sang i will always love you live on air six months later he took every gracious word back he was like suing her he was like trying to ruin her life the man she wrote that song about and it's like you know what i'm a little tired of it i'm just a little sick of it but wonderful song wonderful song that was funny yeah yeah yeah hell yeah great pick and your lovely story lovely story lovely movie my third pick i don't want you to be alone sean
Starting point is 01:26:06 i'm taking a johnny doesn't want you to be alone i'm taking a disney i'm taking uh brandy cinderella oh my god yes i just rewatched that yeah i love it impossible for a plain country bumpkin all that stuff is very fun in my own little corner in my own little chair little corner she killed it brandy killed it and whoopies in it what else do you want what else and victor garber yeah honestly nothing else you want from a movie what else do you want from a movie brandy and whitney like singing behind the scenes and all those videos are just so beautiful like how because to be a great singer who's also so encouraging of other singers is very special you're talking about whitney not brandy whitney well yeah i mean right whitney was like i think the nurturer of that relationship because she was older no that's not the pick that you great voice though too she
Starting point is 01:27:06 does have a great voice i just yeah i i haven't seen the cinderella brandy since like the 90s you've got to rewatch it it really holds up it really holds up really good man the tech is so funny but it's still it's honestly better that they did it the way they did it because it's not this like old school but it's like the 90eties, like CGI stuff is like really funny. But that makes it like, it's like, gives it a good sheen to it. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:27:29 It does. It really does. I thought that was the highlight of the Sunday night ABC. Absolutely. Like originals that they did. I think that was like as good as it goes. That was a good era. That was a good era.
Starting point is 01:27:42 They did like Gulliver's travels and stuff. They did a bunch of fun stuff. Yeah. They did a bunch of fun stuff. That was a good, good did like gulliver's travels and stuff they did a bunch of fun stuff yeah they did a bunch of fun stuff that was a good good era of disney but yeah that brandy she just she just nailed it man she just really really i think it's the best acting brandy ever did agree yeah agree and that's that's counting every season of moesha wow you're putting that on my god i was re-watching moesha and like the first episode there's so many like there's so many fat jokes against that one girl who's like barely chubby yeah who went off to have a very popular spinoff show because people just wanted to see her anyways no moesha was like very poorly behaved she's like really she's like
Starting point is 01:28:21 not a very good friend she's super shitty to her stepmom who's just like trying to help her out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, she was not like a very likable main character. Yes. Belskowitz, time for your third pick. Oh my gosh. Okay. That pure joy.
Starting point is 01:28:39 This was a very formative and still is very important. Definitely have rewatched it twice in quarantine. We gotta go. Newsies, baby. Newsies, open the gates and seize the day, bud. The Christian Bale vehicle? Christian Bale is so deeply ashamed of this musical. It's actually humiliating.
Starting point is 01:28:58 This is how you can tell how self-serious as an actor he is. He is fucking serious, dude. He is so self-serious. Newsies was his big break in a way. straight so straight to video and then cult classic this is how a lot of these disney musicals were yeah so straight to video and then later became a huge cult classic and then it went on broadway and all this stuff and i loved it i know every single song i could probably do a lot of the dances the chore choreo. Great. I love it because they did the same thing that Fiddler does where they're like, OK, so they're boys and we need them to dance. But it needs to be straight looking.
Starting point is 01:29:32 It needs to be manly. So for Tevye, they're like, give us a shimmy, but make it really loose and manly. And that's how Tevye's manly shimmy came. And then with Newsies, they have them do what they always do with like boy bands or when they want it to seem like straight. But it's like 90 boys on stage who are probably 75 percent gay. It's like punching choreo. Yeah. Fight dancing. They kick.
Starting point is 01:29:55 There's a lot of space between them. God forbid they touch their bodies. And then a perfect pirouette. But then back to fighting. Yes. Yeah. And there's like so Christian Bale in that movie. First of all, his accent's so
Starting point is 01:30:05 funny because i didn't know until years later that he was welsh i thought he was american i had no idea but he's so deeply ashamed of it i have heard i couldn't find this confirmed i googled it but i have heard rumors that he has actively sought disney to remove the movie like from their archives like hates that it's a cult classic and anytime there's like a musical that they turn into a Broadway show you know the courtesy is that the people who originated the parts in the movie come to the premiere or at least come with the press at one point to see the show so that and they meet the actors and it's like a whole oh my god you know reese
Starting point is 01:30:45 witherspoon and like all these people went to cruel intentions off broadway like you know what i mean it's like cruel intentions musical yeah i saw it it was off but it was actually really fun it was like a lucky i didn't know that i'd be so mad for you for saying it it was done really well and what's her name was in it um i love that movie somebody from the movie was in it no no no i'm pretty sure jackie hoffman played the mom at one point god i love that movie. Somebody from the movie was in it? No, no, no. I'm pretty sure Jackie Hoffman played the mom at one point. God, I love that movie so much. But maybe I'm missing it. Oh, and I also, I meant to mention this earlier.
Starting point is 01:31:11 I saw Yiddish Fiddler. I wish you could have seen that, Ian. I wanted to. It was off-Broadway. Jackie Hoffman was also in that. She played Yenta. And the whole show is in Yiddish, but they have subtitles. I really loved it because it sounds so like Yiddish
Starting point is 01:31:26 is essentially a dead language at this point and so it's like it was really cool because like I'd never heard my dad says Yiddish words but like I'd never heard it just like spoken casually as a language and not just as the little phrases like right it's like you know I didn't know that was it's a full language it's a dialect that was essentially killed when Jews were dispersed in Europe. Really? Yeah. The only people that still speak it are the Hasidic people out here and some ultra-Orthodox in Israel. Wow.
Starting point is 01:31:59 People who have basically, in an almost cult-like way, rather than assimilate the way that like most like white jews i guess did to like assimilate to whiteness they like you know became this really insular culture so it's weird because like the hasidic like culture in new york is like the same as like 1880s europe la jewish culture yeah the fur hats and the jackets that's not like religiously it's not a religious thing it It's crazy. It's a dope thing. It's a joke about like, I think that God won't mind if you wear a nice linen or something. I love that joke.
Starting point is 01:32:33 But anyways, I forgot to mention that. But yeah, so for Newsies, Christian Bale, like they asked him in an interview, like, will you come? Are you going to come to the Broadway show? He's like, no i'm not gonna be going to that piece of shit am i gonna get that piece of shit that's not welsh but that's like we made him into like a footballer yeah wait he's so serious it's i understand being being serious i guess but i just it's like, yeah, go.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Go, go. What's the big deal? He hates it. He hates that he's associated with the party. He hates that he can't wipe it from the records. He hates that after, you know what it is? It's because of like really self-serious actors like that. They hate what audiences like that when they latch on to their like campy stuff, I think, because they want their like serious, hard-hitting, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:33:23 And it's like, okay, but like you're Batman. Like, it's like, relax. You like you're Batman. Like it's like, relax. Like you want us to love the machinist. Yeah. Come on. It's not that serious. Sean,
Starting point is 01:33:31 time for your next pick. Next pick Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. Is that a, I don't know if that's a musical as much as it is a movie that has songs. They made it eventually into a musical. So you can count it. They sing to the camera. They made Charlie and the chocolate factory into a musical, so you can count it. They sing to the camera.
Starting point is 01:33:45 They made Charlie and the Chocolate Factory into a Broadway musical. So if you look on IMDb, it says musical. But they sing to the camera and stuff. I mean, this is what I'm saying. Can we count it? If we don't, then I have other choices. It's absolutely fine. We can count it.
Starting point is 01:33:57 I think we can count it. Up to you guys. Sure. David? They did make it into a stage musical, so. Well, that'd be cheap. I guess it is a musical. It is.
Starting point is 01:34:07 The way what I was trying to use to define this to myself, I guess, is like, do they break out in song and sing to the camera or have solo parts or sing in the room when other people are around and other people can't hear them kind of stuff? I want to feast. I want to bean feast. That's a musical-ass song.
Starting point is 01:34:24 It just seems like the bed song. Yeah, doesn't Charlie sing at some point when he's in the bubbles? Yeah, he does. And when all the grandparents are singing and it's like the whole house breaks out into song. Yeah, that's a musical. That's my bad. You're 100% right. I was excited
Starting point is 01:34:40 Don't be too hard on yourself, Ian. No, I'm gonna. You got really sad i told you earlier i fucking suck hey bud hey buddy all this linen we're all in a hard time hey you deserve the linen i can i can take a joke here and there i can take a friendly for the seeds that can't wear it what i can't take and what i refuse to take is you saying you don't deserve those linens. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:35:05 You're right. You do deserve those linens. I love this positive masculinity in this Zoom. Yeah. This is great. Thank you for calling me masculine. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:35:15 I don't hear that a lot. I don't know if I said that, but... I was being positive. I was the one being positive. But I'll let you have it. I appreciate it. What, you're going to let me have that and a Disney pick?
Starting point is 01:35:27 Boy. That's two strips of bacon on the Good Vibes Burger today. Right there. Willy Wonka, dude. And the Chocolate Factory. And the Chocolate Factory. And the Chocolate Factory. What's your favorite song from it?
Starting point is 01:35:37 What's the... When they go in for... To take a look around and view it. Oh, that's a good one. It is nothing. Oh, it's so good. What's the hook, what's the hook though what am i like it when they fat shame that little girl paradise simply look around and view it that is a good line that's a great song um you know we are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams just as a quote from a movie that's like one of the best quotes from a movie ever it's perfect but yeah i think oh also does this count as a song when they're in the fucking tunnel on
Starting point is 01:36:09 the boat and he goes insane yeah oh that chicken they cut that chicken's head off right it's a dark movie and where are we going all those kids got killed yeah augustus gloop is dead well that's the thing it's like they got one of them gets incinerated and you're like, bro, they never show the kids at the end. Roald Dahl books are dark. Willy Wonka's basically seven in a chocolate factory. Like, Augustus Gloop drowns in chocolate. I mean, that's the pitch right
Starting point is 01:36:36 there. The show's sold. Yeah. That was the pitch. Roald Dahl walks in, drops the manuscript. He drowns in chocolate. Give me a call. It's seven in a chocolate factory starring the guy from Blazing Saddles. I'm not getting off this elevator. Keep pitching. We'll go
Starting point is 01:36:50 to the top floor. We'll just take it up there right now. Starring the guy from Blazing Saddles. Starring the guy from Blazing Saddles. Yeah, man. Willy Wonka and the C&C Music Factory, dude. Perfect. Gonna make you sweat. Time for my third and fourth picks
Starting point is 01:37:06 as tis as tis and tis indeed um with my third pick i'm gonna take something that is that we would have had the remake by now if it were not for the covid19 pandemic uh ongoing but uh the original doesn't need a remake in my opinion i'm taking west side story yeah yeah what do you think about that remake i think it'll be fun i think it'll be fun i don't like baby driver i wish they cast somebody else yeah that was weird it's baby driver no it's ancillary court and he's right isn't that his name yeah you don't like baby driver he's fantastic i i don't like him that much. I'm not impressed with him.
Starting point is 01:37:46 I think he might be OK in the role, but I don't find him. The whole thing is you have to find Tony very nice and charming. I don't find him either. He looks like a 50s dude. Yeah. To me, he's got the plumpy lips and everything. That's why they cast him because he looks like a classic greaser. But I think they could have done better with a lesser name.
Starting point is 01:38:02 And then the girl she got cast, her story is kind of cool because she was like a teenager and had a viral video. She can sing her ass off. She's a great singer. If you ask Kelly Jordan, I do that Maria song better than Tony. When he goes, I just met a girl named Maria. She thinks, she'll tell me straight up. She's like, Shani Buck, you do that so much better than the guy who does it. Boy, mom, I wish all this was true. She thinks she goes and she'll tell me straight up. She's like, Shawnee, but you do that so much better than the guy who does it. Oh boy,
Starting point is 01:38:26 mom. I wish all this was true. She also thinks I'm more attractive and funnier than Ryan Reynolds, which boy, that'd be nice. Huh? I'll co-sign that dude. Yeah. She'll see another one where they do that.
Starting point is 01:38:39 They do. They do a version of West side story where half the songs are in Spanish now, because I mean, it's a fucking like, it's half of the gangs are like puerto rican you know originally it was supposed to be italians and jews but then by the time it came out we had assimilated to whiteness and so it wasn't as relevant of a story so they made it new york italians and puerto ricans oh so they were
Starting point is 01:39:03 going to have a singing for a Small Fee in America? I see what their head was. I wonder what the songs would have been, for real. For a Small Fee in America. For a Small Fee in America. But that was like, because the guys who wrote it, I believe, are Jewish. I'm not sure, actually.
Starting point is 01:39:19 I'd believe that. A lot of Broadway. We were in there. It's Sondheim and Bernstein, yeah. In West Side Story, we were trying to figure this out. I believe that. A lot of Broadway. We were in there. It's Sondheim and Bernstein. Yeah. Yeah. In West Side Story, we're trying to figure this out. Which is a great team. Sondheim works better
Starting point is 01:39:31 as a, with, with collaborators. I think he needs to be. He later stopped, but I, like West Side Story's better than Into the Woods.
Starting point is 01:39:38 Like it just is. He needs to be reined in a little bit. Otherwise he gets too Sondheim-y where like, it's just weird. Exactly. Even Company is great,
Starting point is 01:39:44 but it's so, it's like he doesn't stop himself. Like, yeah, it's too offbeat. It's too son timey where like exactly even company is great but it's so it's like he doesn't stop himself like yeah it's too offbeat it's too like fast it's a little like america is great because there's musicality to it and it's not just like a fucking jazz song which there's nothing wrong with that and so many songs in west side story have been like sampled and like pop music that's the thing about broadway music people don't even realize how much like little samples have been taken from broadway like oh my god there was a whole thing recently where people didn't know that if i were a rich girl by gwen stefani was taken from fiddler that's so funny as a kid i was so defensive about it because people kept being like if i were a rich girl and i'm like it's from fiddler on the road it's from um yeah like
Starting point is 01:40:22 bright eyes did a song called sunrise sunset there's a lot of broadway influence and pop songs yeah hard knock life hard knock people do that one people news yeah yeah they've been by ludicrous in this life one thing counts in the bank large amounts um fucking but west side story man yeah i can't wait to see the new one there's like i mean counts in the bank large amounts. Woo! But West Side Story, man, yeah, I can't wait to see the new one. I mean, Officer Krupke is so fun, which Larry David brought out again in Curb, which I love. That was so good.
Starting point is 01:40:55 And when you're a jet, you're a jet all the way. From your first cigarette to your last dying day. It's just so, it's just good. It just feels fun. It's fun. I can't wait to see the new one i love the old one shout out natalie wood fucking shout out rita moreno who's in both of them she's so great and so beautiful in that movie and it is actually so fucked up what happened to her and that so fucked up nobody asked christopher walken about it you know he knows that man is haunted he

You love Dickens. Sean Jordan. Time for your fourth pick, Sean Jordan. Oh, it's also a musical. It's the second one that has an exclamation point at the end of it.
Starting point is 01:43:52 Oklahoma and Oliver. Yes. Does Newsies not have an exclamation point? They all should. No, but it's implied. It's implied. It's actually a question. Newsies?

We're really rich, but we act like we're street kids, like suburban Rydell High. All of us own cars. All of us own Grease Lightning cars. They're from Boston.

Starting point is 01:45:57 they were supposed to do a Grease 3 but then Grease 2 flopped so badly that they shelved it and then later brought it back as high school musical grease three was supposed to be high school musical apparently high school musical was based loosely on the script that they had had in the 90s for grease three and when you watch it it follows the same formula it's like sports thing and, you know, little jock guy with the rebel girl or new girl or whatever. I've never seen High School Musical.
Starting point is 01:46:29 I just watched it. It was after my time. So I like just watched it recently. And it's funny because in the first movie, they actually dub over Zac Efron's voice. But then in the second movie, he sings for himself. So the first movie, his voice is dubbed over. They dubbed over with Pat Morita. R.I.P r.i.p his face dude all right he got some is that what that was effron got work done weird why weird perfect looking he's all the disney boys like he's
Starting point is 01:46:59 gotten super into like being like buff i think they all like he fucking musical theater twinks like just always want to like rebel with like honestly like and people were saying this after chadwick boseman died it's like we shouldn't bully people like because we don't know i honestly feel like something fucked up happened to all of those disney kids like whenever they start acting crazy later in life it's like all of the producers are freaking pedos like they're all freaking like those kids are all fucked man they're made to date each other for by like adults like that's such a weird thing like the whole industry is i mean none of it is designed around nurturing a child that's i mean
Starting point is 01:47:34 you're using it's yeah god so i feel bad for him like i feel like i've actually heard from people he's like a really nice nice person but i feel like he's probably i know he's just super into fitness stuff we worked with him on a on another on a crosswalk the musical and he had like he was like pretty involved in the script i mean he had like a lot of notes that were very late which was annoying but whatever he's a famous person but like he was nice and like engaged and everything sean i don't know why you brought up his plastic surgery i because i'm out here man everybody was talking about it like it's like people are gonna talk because he looks so
Starting point is 01:48:10 different dude i'm like the joker man i want to shake things up and i want to see the world burn and when efron gets a facelift dude i talk about it man you wanted to know how he got those scars dude yeah you put me in the cage but the cage got bars just like me dude i'm writing a rap song you put me in the cage but the cage got bars you want to see how i got these scars wow i think we're doing it man i think that's i'm gonna i'm gonna see isaac tonight again and like try to get more tips and stuff but oh is he coming to the screening yeah out of bed yeah um grease dude great pick marcia time for your fourth pick okay this is tough we're really getting down to it I never realized like you know there are shows I love that don't hold up
Starting point is 01:48:51 necessarily for example the musical I'm gonna go with a chorus line I loved a chorus line when I was growing up I still need to watch this like documentary about it because i actually have never seen the documentary called like
Starting point is 01:49:09 when they're about when they're like reviving it yeah but i it's one of those shows that's so crazy because i've never actually seen it live but i know the entire soundtrack what is chorus line yeah could you tell us on the plot of course it's like a meta musical written in the 70s about the like rigorous demanding lifestyle of auditioning to be the chorus in a Broadway musical because you're not getting paid as much as the leads. You're much more disposable. So it's like a musical about a musical. It's a musical about people auditioning to be in the chorus like a musical about a musical? she has decided that she just wants to perform no matter what it takes, even if she has lost like the delusion of her stardom basically. And it's about really what it's about is about how, especially for dancers,
Starting point is 01:50:15 best case scenario, you have a career till you're like 35. And even when you're in the height of your career, you're like eking it out and miserable and very check to check. And there's you know, this was the beginning of plastic surgery. So there's like a very famous song that I love called Dance 10 Looks 3 about a woman who sees her the director judging her audition and gives her for Dance 10 for Looks 3. So then she has a boob job and is now getting cast in every show she auditions for so it's like a really good meta musical about like dance and auditioning
Starting point is 01:50:52 and really good really good stuff how many there's a random question how many musicals have you been to do you think i've been to a lot i, how many kickflips have you landed? Are you talking to me? Oh shit. Probably 5,000. Oh no, I was joking with Sean. I thought a kickflip was a dance move.
Starting point is 01:51:11 And I was like, I'm really trying to, I'm thinking of a hitch kick. Oh, similar, similar. Yeah. Hitch kick, dude.
Starting point is 01:51:17 That's when you need to kick flip somewhere else. So you hitch kick to get there. That's right. Hey, Hey, yo, Oh, we're out here.
Starting point is 01:51:24 He's going gonna be a dad okay when people say dad jokes it really ups because like they're jokes it really upsets me as a father it really fucking father i got a daughter on the way god damn it chaps my ass no it's like it's like when people say guilty pleasure call it's a pleasure dog it's not a dad joke as a joke it might be you don't have any pleasures that are guilty no man i we didn't we draft guilty pleasure songs they're just songs like i love tammy swift i meant more like drugs or something there are guilty oh well yeah well that that's a little different you'd be like that that's not it i don't know if we need to wax that all up yeah yeah like yeah i do it but i feel bad yeah um how many musicals i've seen i've seen a lot my parents had
Starting point is 01:52:09 season tickets to like the local performing arts center when i was growing up which is huge because i mean what city are you from in oklahoma i'm from tulsa okay yes we got decent shows in there because there's like a it's like a big enough city that they had like you know national tours coming through loved seeing those my parents took me to new york to see some broadway shows when i was in like seventh or eighth grade as my like bat mitzvah gift and that was really cool it's like yeah because i'd never i think i'd seen one broadway show actually the first broadway show i ever saw my parents took me to New York with them when I was in third grade and we saw Whoopi Goldberg in A Funny Thing Happened at the Way to the Forum nice are on the way to the forum and it's funny because that's a very kind of adult
Starting point is 01:52:53 show I didn't understand any of the jokes I don't remember anything except for we were very like far back because on Broadway even the nosebleeds are like 100 bucks. So it's like if you see people in the orchestra, unless they got hooked up, those tickets are like thousands of dollars. It's crazy. I didn't know that for like, I think for two days in LA, I had to sell tickets for the LA Philharmonic. That was like a job that I had.
Starting point is 01:53:19 And I did not know how expensive that shit is. Like if you're up expensive these are like millionaires calling in because they would like renew their tickets and they would even tell us they're like if someone's calling in talk about how like that's where it's like when you have shows like rent did like this whole thing where the first two rows they save for lottery tickets hamilton did a lottery like yeah but that's where it's tough because even when you do get shows like that are like supposed to like represent like more people. Broadway is such like at least financially a very limited thing to even be able to like go see a show. So there is like for example like there's all these like playwrights that like talk about like when they were coming up like you can't really afford to see a show i do the
Starting point is 01:54:05 lotteries the lotteries are nice but they're just it's really random if you win and then they have these things that are like today ticks where like you can do a random show like i got to see like mean girls musical for like 35 bucks or whatever but we advertised with today ticks and that was what because i went and checked them out i was like oh shit you can it was pretty it was pretty dope that's the thing is it's not but like for the good shows like and that's what was sad is like i gave myself a birthday present to go see patty lapone and company and then i also bought tickets to see this other show and i really wanted to see their reviving carolina change um which is like a musical about this like jewish family in the south that like hires black help
Starting point is 01:54:45 and like all this like and i wanted to see also they were bringing back what else oh they were bringing back music man they were bringing back so much last year and i had like say i was like you know what i'll spend hundreds of dollars on like clothes and stuff i need to just spend it hundreds of dollars on like clothes and stuff i need to just spend it on a musical like because every time you go it's just so like amazing like you just always are just like wait for the next time there's a live street league in portland i'll spend whatever it takes to get to the very bottom of it well we're gonna get to the bottom of david's next pick yeah what do we got let's go and then it's a lightning round and then it's a lightning round. And then it's a lightning round. I'm picking. Are you going to pick?
Starting point is 01:55:29 I'm not going to pick that one, no. All right, I'm probably going to pick that one. That didn't even make my list. I thought about it, and I was like, fuck off. It's on your list if you know what I'm talking about. What, Lion King? No, no. No, Sean's last pick.
Starting point is 01:55:41 I'm kind of torn. Sean, did you say Lion King? No, but who said Lion King? I said Aladdin. No one said Lion King. No, he hinted what his last one is going to be. I'm kind of torn. I think I'm going to pick.
Starting point is 01:55:59 You know what? I'm going to fucking pick it. I'm going to take Cry Baby, the John Waters musical with. Oh, yeah. With Johnny Depp. With Johnny Depp. Yeah. That's what I'm taking as my as my last one.
Starting point is 01:56:10 I watched that a few years ago. It's great. Last pick yet. Yeah. Well, that's my fourth pick. Yeah. And then I can't believe it's still on the table. But I just want to say I love the songs and Cry Baby.
Starting point is 01:56:22 I love the aesthetic. I think it was a really fun movie I loved Hatchiface, I loved all that The aesthetic was amazing, the big jailhouse dance Yeah, exactly I love that skinny little weirdo And then, last one, I can't believe I got this Fifth round, but
Starting point is 01:56:38 Lightning, I'm going to take Jersey Boys Yeah, you've picked it before Wow Were you going to pick it? Are you mad that I picked it before wow was you were you gonna pick it are you mad that i wasn't i was not no it's the first jukebox musical that's been drafted oh wow am i not jesse boys yes it is sure a show that exists in it damn well that's the good thing about the lightning roll lightning round though we're not yeah we don't dive in your final pick marcia oh it's my final pick okay let's see
Starting point is 01:57:09 we go quick on this one we just get it out this is quick okay so i guess my final pick would probably be guys and dolls oh yeah sit down you're rocking the boat yes i love rocking the boat i saw it in london with ewan mcgregor and the girl who played and jane krakowski and it was really fun and i love when you have a really american like transatlantic accent show being done by british people because you can hear like i said oh my god wait i want to change my pick is it too late no go ahead can i change it yeah go ahead all right for the listeners i know that's a bitch move but i want to change it i'm gonna change it to the producers oh shit oh yeah that rules god damn it that was i think the second musical i ever saw on broadway i didn't see it
Starting point is 01:57:56 with with matthew broderick and nathan lane but i saw it with like the cast after them so funny like i mean that's what made me want to write like that and like avenue q and like other shows like uh like book of mormon like made me want to like really write like funny musicals like because also i love all those shows but they're very masculine i would love to write there's never been like a comedy musical like on well probably has been but like you know what i mean there will be yeah there will be and i will write it beautiful producers so fucking good that was gonna be my last pick oh sorry oh please sean i took two well it was said but i got a book of mormon i have to pick it it's like the only musical i've ever been to uh when i first started dating laura she
Starting point is 01:58:42 bought tickets and wouldn't tell me how much they were. And then we went and it was fantastic. We went to the Keller and I'd never, it's still the only musical other than Little Shop of Horrors in high school, but the only like musical show that I've been to. And it was so, so fun. I love Turn It Off is the funniest that I have never laughed harder during the song Turn It Off where it's about how Mormons like could compartmentalize their pain in like the most insane way. And apparently there's a song called Hasadega Ibowai. The whole joke is that it's called Fuck You God. And when Book of Mormon came to Tulsa,
Starting point is 01:59:15 because people would go not understanding this is the South Park guys. This is going to be not PC or whatever. And then so they got an oklahoma super christian so they got to the part where it was like they're singing fuck you god and my friend said that her whole row stood up and walked out and was like so deeply offended like that happened on broadway a couple times apparently too as people walked during that part if you're into god that's a it's a tough sell if you're into god i was fine with it that's a tough sell if you're sort of into god in any way at all for me but it's so funny and then that was a great show that was written with the guy who wrote avenue q and then later went on to
Starting point is 01:59:56 write the frozen music with his wife robert lopez who double e got it oh my god he did double e got two mys, two Oscars. I did not know that. Wow. That is insane. Every Game of Thrones twice is what he got. Double Jots. Time for my final pick. And again, this is a lightning round,
Starting point is 02:00:13 so we can't get into it too much. Hamilton. All right, so that's the... And we're done. You know, In the Heights, the movie's coming out. That's going to be really good. It is. It is coming out.
Starting point is 02:00:25 And it's the cinematography by the guy who did Crazy Rich Asians. So it's like very just like colorful and beautiful. Directed, John Chu, yeah. Oh, he directed it? Mm-hmm. It's, listen, I know it's very like a rapping high school teacher, but like there's some fucking, there's some good stuff and some good performers in it and everything.
Starting point is 02:00:44 It broke a lot of people's careers i mean a lot of people i mean like that's the thing is everything should be looked at with a critical lens it's always both people want it's like nobody's actually trying to cancel shit i don't i mean well some people are but it's like you know it's like a lot of it is like both are true it's like the criticisms are completely true tony morrison hated it i think that's a bad sign. But then it's like, you know, it still was important to a lot of people as well. So it's like both are true. Absolutely.
Starting point is 02:01:14 And it's my final pick. And I'm completely unproblematic. So that babes it. Absolutely. And births it. Famously. To recap, David, you went first. You took Dreamgirls, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,
Starting point is 02:01:24 The Brandy Cinderella, Crybaby, and Jersey Boys. That's a good team. That's a good team. Marsha, you went second. You took Les Mis, Oklahoma, Newsies, A Chorus Line, and The Producers. I'm embarrassed now. That's fantastic. Carrying it all listed back to me.
Starting point is 02:01:41 Sean Jordan, you went third. You took Little Shop of Horrors,addin willy wonka greece and the book of mormon okay i went last i took fiddler on the roof the music man west side story oliver and hamilton we all did good yeah yeah i think that one was some amazing musicals we love some good ones on the board too uh carmen a hip-hopera i really thought oh my god i thought that's what sean was gonna take i thought he was gonna beyonce isn't that oh my god yeah her and mckay pfeiffer my friend madonna just reminded me of that oh my god carmen my friend madonna do you know her she's a singer it was on that was on mtv i remember being so excited like holy shit mckay pfeiffer and beyonce
Starting point is 02:02:24 and fucking this like remake of othello dude it's a musical i watched sweeney todd last night didn't draft it i watched i watched guys and dolls last night and totally forgot to even put it on my list i watched cats last night oh my god i honestly i watched cats twice in theaters because i i love that's the thing about musicals like i love when it's bad, good in between. That's how I know that I love it because I truly, unlike anything else, can enjoy it no matter how it is. I love it when it's terrible. I love it when it's good.
Starting point is 02:02:56 It's so fun. It was the most fun movie I've ever watched in theaters. I thought it was like a fever dream. When Dame Judi Dench comes out in her fur coat over her cat costume i've never laughed harder in my entire life when people get pissed about it it's like it's it's exactly what ian was gonna say he wants to keep his job oh no he's very he's very open about it jim jim killed that by the way when he goes that's how i feel it was hilarious to me he's just doing what he's doing there was no there was a there was a ceiling on it i mean it was insane what they did to him and rebel wilson they're
Starting point is 02:03:28 like yeah you're gonna be the fat cats and we're gonna make every joke about it get in here boys i'll tell you that horny yo those cats were horny as hell yeah man that's very accurate to their character what did they think that movie was ever gonna be it got the guy who like i mean les mis was weirdly well weirdly directed i don't think it was like a super well-directed movie and then it's cats there's not a linear storyline the movie doesn't make it doesn't make sense anyways or like based on a book of poems that's yeah that's what i heard yeah oh my god when i saw it on broadway it was so weird. It was like a grown ass man in like a cat suit. I was like 12 years old and his dick was like right close to my face. And I was like, this is insane.
Starting point is 02:04:11 Like this show is insane. I truly think Andrew Lloyd Webber had a full mental breakdown. And then people, because they do this like madness in the artist thing, were just like, yes, Andrew. And he's like i need help i'm about to write a musical about rollerblading trains please someone's like help me please it's such a cry for help nobody helped him and instead they've just made it was the second longest running show on broadway ever i think wild uh maybe the longest what beat it was the longest still i'm not sure i thought somebody beat it marissa do you have a pick oh yeah i want to pick south park the musical bigger longer and uncut
Starting point is 02:04:50 oh my god i loved that when it came out damn i didn't even have that i didn't even i feel like every song in that musical is just an homage to another great broadway song so you have like the best of broadway and all in one jesus marissa they're really i loved how much the south park guys were into musicals because there are so many les mis references in their shows when you watch it like they're big musical boys amazing pick marissa good job amazing son doll is a full musical we want to hear your picks hit us up at all fantasy pod on twitter all fantasy podcast at gmail.com shout out to everyone on the all fantasy everything patreon we love you so much thank you for holding us down shout out to everyone on the all Fantasy Everything Patreon.
