It's also known as a bus stop. The reason now that he wants to see it's on his way to the top. It's also known as a bus bus day Only a single day nobody Just sit on his back So no

I don't want your number no I don't want to give you my name no I don't want to think you know when No, no, no Not in your time I don't want no scrap Strikes as a guy that can't get no love from hanging in the passenger's side on his best friend's ride trying to holler at me.

Yeah, I don't want no scrubs. All right, great. And cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. And after this bullshit, and just a little bit of context there, just a little bit of context. What's the context? Just that that's the only song that I can play. I don't know.

I don't know how to play any other music. Oh. No, no, no, no, no, guys. Welcome to the podcast, firstly. Thank you. Thank you so much for inviting me. Essentially what we're doing this week is we're gone for we want we're gonna is another sort of go-up bench. We want we want the book of more money Yeah, we realize that there's a lot of money in in hot pop music the triple J scene

Yeah, you can have that you can have that but then when we learned about book of Mormon last week Oh that book of Mormon the book of Mormon. I haven't seen it. Can't get a ticket. Can't get a ticket. And if you do get a ticket, God get a ticket to Ham. Yeah, get a ticket to Ham. That ticket to Ham is probably the most. I want to drill down on that,

because I'm not sure. And Jude, a wonderful guest, comedian musician Jude Pell is here to help us write this musical and you will get a cut of the money that we went. You're our George Lopez. Yeah.

He's the one that no one knows, also worked on Book of Mormon. Yes, yes. Yes, Book of... Is it Frozen Lopez? Avenue Q. Where am I thinking of this thing? It's a... No, his...

Yeah, George, look, I think that's a standard community. Maybe, and I'm thinking of it on one way or another. No, he wrote for Frozen, he wrote. And Avenue Q. Avenue Q. Avenue Q. Avenue. Avenue. Definitely. Anyway, I don't know if I want that book or more money.

Why? I think I want that Hamilton money. Oh, ham. Ham money is good. But ham and more are comparable. Have you really reckon ham made more money than more? Ham, if you make ham money, don't worry about FoxTel. Yeah.

Yeah, right. You don't get all the FoxTel. Yeah, right. Well, as in like, don't you don't need it? You don't need all the FoxTel. All right. You can get highest package or movies. You can get all the movies, you can get all the sport. But I find SBS. Robert Lopez. Very good.

And that's great. Did you remember that with your brain? No, you tapped it. You googled it. I googled it as well. The important thing is, is that they work together and I'm part of the team. And you'll get 10% Lopez. So you know, you wrote Book of Mormon. You're and I'm part of the team. You can be a Rob at Lope's.

So you know, you wrote Book of Mormon, you're part of the Book of Mormon team. Ah, yep. No, yes. No, no. No, no. Amazing. It's a real thrill to have a book. Amazing.

Robert Lope's in the room. Robert, you wrote Avenue Q and I hear it was a funny story when you first got book of Mormon pitched to you. Do you want to tell us this a little bit about that. I will. So what happened was Matt Entre, who Matt Matt, I just call him that because Yeah, he's your friend, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, he they came up to me and they're like, we want to write a musical about

Maumens and I was like, that sounds great. And then we started. You're right. it was so funny. That is a funny story. That is a funny story. You're full of shit, Jude, that's not true. No, Jude is our Robert Lopez. Right, okay, right.

I got a little confused with my own assimilator. But I heard Jude that when you were writing Avenue Q, it's quite autobiographical, but the part that's autobiographical is a surprise. Dude is not... Dude, you're even getting confused. Don't nod like you know what they're talking about. I'm just really happy to be here. All right, so can you help us write a musical?

Yes, yes. Great. Because we want to write a musical. I want to write a musical. I want to write a musical. That's a great idea for me. My sister threw the door. I make lots of ice and I want to write a musical. What do you think of that?

I loved it. I loved with the day that. But has there ever been a musical written about making a musical? I think that's probably the most original idea. I think there was something called musical, the musical, which... Okay, that's enough. Okay. But we can do it.

Yeah, in this space we don't shit on each other's ideas. Basically, if someone brings something to the table, you yes and... It's not fucking it up. But we're gonna write a musical. I want to a writer musical. I want a writer musical. That's beautiful. It's defense. You said it has there ever been a musical written about writing musicals and Jude said yes and its name was musical then and then really the shitting was happening more from your corner of the table. Seemingly, seemingly. Yeah. The way I interpreted it, like sometimes it's not what you say, it's how you say it.

And it was a no offense to you. Right. But when you said yes and there isn't and I think it's called this, what I heard was you're a dumb cunt. Wow. And you don't deserve to be here. That's what I heard. You're a dumb cunt. You're a dumb cunt, and you don't deserve to be here. That's what I heard. You're a dumb cunt, you're a dumb cunt, you're a dumb cunt. Here comes the dumb cunt man. All right, so we got two songs now we got. I didn't quite get a chance to make that sound. So I write this the fuck down. So we got, we got, we've got, you want to write a musical song?

Yeah. And then we've got you're a dumb cunt song, which can be the villain. Yeah, and I like if the musical opens with someone being like, I want to write a musical, has that ever been done before and then someone else comes in, shits on their idea and tears them down. Just like, and it's autobiographs. Sure. You know, I just, all I want to say Mark is maybe, you know, we've got this wonderfully

talented guest here. You asked a question, Jude, you answered it. Maybe the dumb, maybe when you hear someone calling your dumb cut, you're looking at a mirror and it's you calling yourself a dumb cut. I feel like this is another. another it but it's me I think I just did I just break your heart with my singing yeah little yeah but I also just feel like break a few mirrors the glass too yeah through, through music, our friendship can heal. And it's blossom.

So it's yeah, yeah. So what we're developing here is the 11 o'clock number, I believe it's called. It's just before the end of the musical. So we're writing a musical. So we wouldn't be performing it that late. No, you perform the musical at around eight and sometimes matinee's.

But and then it would go as the clock Yeah, what you would ever read a show it's a metaphor. You're struggling exactly And similarly here one second. There's an interval So it's a big interval goes for quite a while. Yeah, and so then the first act starts at eight goes to about nine 30 yet 9 30 interval till like 10 30 and then that would make sense Yeah, that does make sense. Yeah, that makes sense. That the 11 o'clock number, the 11 o'clock number doesn't have to happen at 11 o'clock.

No, and also it can happen at 11 o'clock. It's a matter of four during a matinee. So that makes sense. Okay. All right, okay, sure. So we're riding the 11 o'clock number. Oh, you know, depending on the time. And it's who's that?

And every character for various reasons, whether they're in a change room, whether they're in a bathroom, they find themselves confronted with a mirror. We don't know what the plot is yet, but they find themselves confronted with a mirror and they realize that maybe it's not the dumb cunt

that's the dumb cunt, but in fact, themselves, and they're standing at different parts of the stage and they're all singing the dumb cunt mirror song. Who's that I see in the mirror before me? It's a dumb cunt. Who's that in the mirror? I see. Is it me?

It's a dumb cunt. It's a dumb cunt. It's a dumb cunt. No, that's really great. I don't feel like I have anything to add to that because I think it's really beautiful. It's very powerful. I feel like we're getting bogged down in a plot that I don't fully understand. So, but I understand. Every night at 11 o'clock. In the show, in the show, metaphorically.

The club of the narrative is about to hit midnight. And if you're doing a late show, and it's the show about. The show is about, we want to write a musical, but there's a dumb cunt, Mayor, Mayor Dumb Cunt. Mayor of where? I thought it was a man. Oh, Mayor, Mayor. Mayor. Mayor.

Female horse. So both, so both the female horse and the mayor of dumb cunt town, who is a female horse. But I'm really, she is dumb cunt and mayor of, she's a mayor of, there's a female horse. Mayor, it's, mayor. Mayor, mayor, dumb cunt. Just for, from the music writing perspective,

I just wanna make sure I've got a clear picture. So important as a composer. Yeah, and I, we write the music writing perspective, I just want to make sure I've got a clear picture. It's important as a composer. Yeah, and we write the book in lyrics, you write the music. And I just, so it's horse. Also, female horse. Female horse also runs the town and the town is called dumb kind. And then there is another female horse.

So there's two females. May, may a dumb kind of dumb kind town. May, may, may a dumb kind of dumb kind town. Do you want to put some please? I think I see magic happening before me. Of may, may, may a dumb kind town. Yep. May. I'm not a dumb can't even know I live in dumb can't tell the better. Good.

Yeah. It's just feel free to jump in. I like it. I like it. I like it. And also just be careful not to overstep your mark with writing the book. Okay. Yeah.

That's totally fair. That's fine. It's fine. There's just very clear lines that have been drawn lines. I love writing. Okay, yeah. Yeah. That's totally fair. That's fine, it's fine. There's just very clear lines that have been drawn lines. Collaborations are good going. De-bididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididid here everyone going about their date. You know that moment in the... We are a dumb con town selling apples and fruit. This is the little dumb con girl going to dumb con school. Me dumb con, me dumb con. Oh she's looking for me dumb con, but all she sees is father dumb con of the dumb con church. Poor Nick children on your way. Ah, the old dumb cuss. Can I stop? Yeah, so.

Yeah. Yeah. Ah. Ah. Ah. My thing is, right, what's the one reason we're making a musical? Yeah, my dumb cuss. To buy mentions.

See, I like that, but no, it is my name. Oh, right. OK, who can see a show where the word cunches the main word says? to buy a mansion. See, I like that, but no one is making it. Oh, right. Okay. Who can see a show where the word can't is the main word said? Have you seen Book of Maum? Yeah, apparently they say it. They say it like three or four times.

They say it like three or four times. And to God, which is like quite a success. Yeah, it's like quite a success. Yeah, so if they're able to get away with that, I think the story of mere mere dumb kind of dumb come to has away with that. I think the story of Mere Mere Dumb Cuntel has legs on Broadway. In that first song, I'm just saying I'm putting it out there. In that first song, the word cunt is said in the first 30 seconds more than it's said in Book of Mormon. Which is a hit show. This show is called... And, man, man, down the kind of dumb content.

And hold on, and just to put this into perspective for you, for you, brother. What if, if Booka Mormon is so... We can't talk about Booka Mormon. It'd be the more out! If Booka Mormon is so successful... Successful. And it has the word, cut in it three times.

Imagine how successful our show will be if it has cut 300 times in the opening number. Yeah, I can. It's just maths. It is maths. Here's the thing, if I'm taking my mother, if I've gotten my mother, maybe my niece, maybe my partner, we've saved up with bought $400

front row tickets, you know, like the ham tickets, we're in the front row. Just, I just want to say something at that point. Hamilton does not say the word cunt once. So exactly my point. Nor does the lion king. If I spent $400 to take my family to go and see ham, and I'm sitting in the front row,

and Lin Manuel Miranda's there, and he doesn't sing about Hamilton once, I'm going to go, well, what musical am I singing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So by the same token, if I'm taking my grandmother, my mother, my niece, my partner, we're all going to watch, mere dumb kind of dumb-cunt town, and there's no references to dumb-cunt. It'll be confusing. Well, how does that work thematically?

I think, I don't want to speak for a burden, but I think what he might be saying is perhaps the name of the show might also have to be changed. Oh, instead of a cut. Well, I was going to say if we're changing the content of the show, you'd want to change the name. That's right. Because you do want the name. Is the issue of the horse? Because I was seeing it at a double man's time.

Yeah, the double man might be. It is a bit of a tongue twizz. I mean, I had trouble trying to say, I think even maybe just there being a second horse is potentially confusing. So I think which one's the man? You know, how do we, you know, both may as, when I pardon?

They're both the may as. Right, but which one is the man? Well, they're both may as, only one of them is the man though. No, they're both may as. No, okay, yes, they are. I think I saw this at the point. One is a man. No. Female horse of them is the mayor though. No, they're both may as. No, okay, yes, they are. No, no, no, no, no. I think I was for this. No, no, no, no.

One is a mayor. No. Female horse, one is the mayor, a mayor, and and a female horse. But the other mayor, right, was the mayor. So the other mayor was the old mayor. So there's three mayor. So that was a coup. Yeah, well, yeah.

Both were born mayors. Is it okay if we do? It's a song, let's do a song about it So we're the coo the coo the coo flash yeah, yeah, yeah Is it like I'm sorry wasn't really listening for that? Sort of think lay me the roblay a coup d'état right? No, you can't just say coup d'état that says like Miz. It's like a Les Mis arabes coup d'état.

I like a heist. No, no heist. No, okay. So what we need is... Jude, you're being very difficult. Um, Jude, I think when this song needs to be more in the style of Dear Evan Hansen, you come from a way, there's a lot of modern dramas where they're poppy songs

and we aim it at the 16 year old girls. Go on a break! Take a break! Oh, can you do a break song? Just win the second half. It's at 15 minutes. Tom gives us this signal and if we don't immediately stop and take a break,

we get in trouble. Just an ad for whatever you want to be there. I'll just do scrubs, because that's the only song I don't know how to play. Yeah. This is an ad for whatever you want to say. I'll just do scrubs because that's the only song I've ever had in places. Yeah. This is an ad break with a Jude pill brought to you by TLC and Captain Snays. And Nye Duck. Anyway, all right, we're back.

Can't put an ad in there. Great. So we're thinking, dear Evan Hansen Heist with a touch of kudai ta, like the style of Les Miserables. Does it, is it a problem? Yes. That I haven't seen any of those musicals. You haven't seen dear Evan Hansen Les Miserables.

So it's sort of like, dear Evan Hansen is like, oh no, no, no, no, no. And then Les Miserables is like, no'm never, never, never. And then, like, this is the Rob, he's like, no, the dog should be the high. So, this is dear Evan Hanson. All right, all right, well fun. So, that was a little bit of dear Evan Hanson there. Now, let's play some, some of life is a Rob play. All right.

Oh, yeah, guys. So, that's what it's like with a Rob. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing.

That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That was the same thing. That that the same thing? Yeah, that's perfect. Was that good? Okay, cool, because I did the same... There's... Alright. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I am the mayor!

Yeah, keep going. I was trying to be poppy as well and then I got confused. I think this song is like one that I have to go back and I'm so hard to get seven notes at once. Not if you have more than one person singing, but yeah, if one person singing, it would be hard to get all seven. Shall we? Let's try and do the man.

Let's try and do the scene where the man. This is good. I think we're gonna make a lot of money. The man who is the man gets outsted by the man who then becomes the mayor. I got shot. Yes. We could just call this show like double mayor or something.

Double mayor. Double mayor and their dumb friends. Well, I was thinking if you can stop saying can't. If you think can't is too offensive, I think it would be just as funny to change it to crunt. What does that mean? That's pretty funny. I think people understand that we're saying cunt, but they won't get as offended because

we're saying crunch. Like crunch it. Oh, crunch it. Like that. Oh, crunch it. What are you having for breakfast? I'm having crunch it. Should we work now on the scene where they go to Havana?

Oh, yeah, that's um yes. Here we are in Havana. Come get your decaries. A coke nut for the mayor. And a rum for the boy. I'm feeling a little tipsy hearing a van a towel. You've got to move with your body. Yeah. Do the dance, yeah. Everything can happen in Havana if you just...

Why are we in Havana? What would that's where the story takes us a story is kind of like a book where Constantly things are unfolding But we haven't written a book it's how Tarantino tells his stories It's like this happens and then this happens and then this happens and so what's happened to this story? So dumb cunts so you start crunch If you want to go there that's the title of the show I think we need to still say dumb cunt in the show.

Agreed. What are you going to show? Well, I mean, I don't want to overstep my... Please, jump in. You're always welcome. No, no, yeah. Absolutely, there's no lines or boundaries here. We want you to contribute in any creative way that you can.

That's, okay, cool. Yeah. So a lot of intense eye contact happening though. But I was just thinking, wouldn't it be so funny? Yeah, yeah, so a lot of intense eye contact happening though, so I um but uh I was just thinking wouldn't it be so funny? Yeah, because if we change the word love it Crunch from the word can't how great would it be if you had like a whole funny song? Yeah, where you were thinking you were gonna say can't and then you said crunt and then the and the that way the kids get to it like Oh, that's so fun. I don't know what it means and then the parents are like, oh, I understand.

I just saw, I don't know, I just saw like put... Do you want to throw something out there? I didn't actually have any ideas. If you want to play some music, I can have a go. Okay. Give me a go. I think I got something. Hey there, boys and girls. Hey there, boys and girls! When you want to say, can't say, can't instead,

can't, can't. Why are you being such a crunt? I'm not the crunt, you're the can't, I'm in crunt. You're a fucking crunt! Did you go fucking kill yourself, you fucking cunt? I don't, again, I don't want to overstep any bound. I just wonder if you're always... If you're saying, like, I'm going to fucking kill you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then it might take away from the whole the premise of the song, being like, you know, not swearing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, maybe if you could say, I'm going to flip in... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Push it, push it, not swearing. Like, maybe if you could say I'm gonna flip in, push it, push it, not too hard, get crunched. Oh, give me my starting note.

Oh, you got it. Any of it. Uh-uh, uh-uh. All right. I'm, I'm going to fucking kill your cunt. Well guess what I'm gonna cut off your hair Gonna flip and kick you in your flippin' Crunch if you keep lookin' at me like that

You fuckin' cunt Hey there boys and girls I'm gonna cut off your flippin' hair And shit down your throat you back up crunch Get a sharp knife stick it in your throat and shake you around In your throat and shake you around So it lacerates all of your throat Then when you try to talk you just cough and I blood And then you drown yourself in all the blood

You flippin' crunts I feel like scatting, I feel like scatting Yeah See if I'm a bobo bobo bobo bobo See if I'm a bobo bobo See I'm a davin' to a davin' to a davin' to bobo I'm a da go for it.

Yeah, go for it. Yeah, go. Yes. Yeah No, stop. It's bringing in a bit of new metal. No, no, this is a musical. Right. This is an American idiot. I think you could do a new metal musical There's an American idiot on West End All right Sorry, he's he think you are We think we will rock you. I don't think this is we I do not think this has been Elton's we will rock you think This is spring awakening. No, I do not think this is spring awakening like we can have some electric guitar Thank you, but not too much

Heavy metal that would just play rhythm So as they're singing the crunch song, I thought it would be a good moment for me I can't It's dumb kind of dumb can't town to kind come in. And you know that moment where it's like, and they're like, oh no, it's Mehmed, Damkhan of Damkhan town. Can we call the crunch song, the crunch song? Yeah, just to make it clear.

Oh no, it's Mehmed, Damkhan, Damkhan town. Here she comes. What is this I see Everyone doing poop some peas. I'll kill you all I It's a first draft it's bad it's a first draft. It's bad. It's a first draft. No, you're judging the work. Yeah.

Okay. Nice. Oh, be the man, until I can't vote it out. Wow. I can't. Do you still think it's not a good music for a run? A little out of my range.

I feel like people could use that to torture. It's sort of people who are being used to terror them. So obviously I have to use my falsetto, but she's gonna be belting those notes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, just a little in there. Yeah. Here's more, I thought it was beautiful. I did a lot of damage to my throat. It was beautiful.

Thank you. Can you taste a little bit of blood in your mouth? Just a touch. Yeah. There was a pop feeling. Oh, okay. A feeling of a pop in my throat about halfway through. You might have to go see a speech pathologist.

I love it. Dude, I love it. Guys, I didn't want to say anything because I didn't quite know where the musical was at or anything, but since we're ready, I wanted to tell you, there's a big Broadway power player coming here right now. He's just outside the door.

And if we pitch this show to him well enough, he has said he will not only put the Broadway show on, but pay the right people for us to win Tony Awards. What's the Tony? It's like the, have you heard of the Egot? No. So it's the T in the Egot. We, if we also get the E-go, if the E-go, we could be the next.

We'll be Goldberg. It's like the Reno. It's like the Logis, but for place. On board. Fuck. Yeah, yeah. It's in Bix. So.

Should we nominate it for an actor award? A-A-C-D-A. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. We would nominate him for an actor award Congratulations And by the time this podcast comes out we would have won we would have well I Don't think we're gonna win.

They loved what you played for them, and loved your energy. They loved your energy, Jude Broden. They loved what you were putting out there.

They do want to replace you within the Dina Menzel type, though. Okay, great. But the show's going to be on broad. I don't know what you were putting out there.
