sorkin for that of course of course it's not no shade on most things um i have yet to see a

And welcome.
And accomplished. Now come in. Come into into this little bathtub let's all get in well you have done a fuck ton of shit yeah of different shit too
uh yeah that's a it's a fun way to stay on my toes right yeah i mean talk about like being in
the writer's room and also like i bet you're the only writer like in that room who's like
gotten even close to broadway like actually performing on a broadway stage in a musical and also writing for probably a
small handful of you guys i feel like our head writer uh colleen worthman was in at least did
something at the public off broadway really okay yeah she ate no slouch honey you made a stage game
but you got all the way up there to the fucking Winter Palace.
The Winter Garden.
That's quite alright.
We went,
my family goes, we go every year
to see a Broadway musical around Christmas
time. That's so sweet.
And I was like, we have to go
see School of Rock. A, because you were in it.
We weren't even really friends then.
But I was like, well, I have a friend in it.
And I was so gagged
when you were there.
And also because I genuinely
wanted to see it.
I love that movie.
It's one of my favorite movies.
Great movie.
It's so good.
And that show,
she a crowd pleaser, boy.
She a crowd pleaser.
She a crowd pleaser.
She a crowd pleaser, big time.
Everyone that comes on the ride
is going to go see it.
You know,
I'm like,
who's singing about my show
and 19 hands go up
and they're all singing
School of Rock.
It's a hit.
Oh my God,
wow,
that's amazing.
It really is a hit.
Yeah.
I gotta see it.
It recently,
just last week,
I think,
earned back its initial
investment.
That's what I read.
Recouped.
I think,
because you posted about it.
Yeah.
Yes.
Amazing.
So exciting.
You know who's the gag in that?
Who?
Ciara Vargas.
Who is she?
Who is she though?
She played the,
she was,
she is not in the show anymore.
Okay.
She was the original Rosalie Mullins,
the principal.
Oh.
Made famous by Joan Cusher.
But for the purposes of the musical,
there's kind of a love interest thing happening.
Right.
Of course.
But Sierra is like a Broadway legend.
She was the original Ariel in Little Mermaid.
She played Christine in both Phantom and Love Never Dies.
Yes.
And I would say 30% of my Instagram followers, their profile picture is Sierra Boggess.
Wow. With a name like Sierra Boggess. Wow.
With a name like Sierra Boggess, you better slay.
You better slay.
And that's the thing.
That's the crossover appeal of Michael Hartney.
Broadway, comedy.
Come on.
You know what?
Okay, I have to bring this up because I saw this last night.
You know what is not a great movie adaptation to Broadway?
I saw, you know what?
I liked it it but people are
i and i instagrammed it i instagram storied it i saw amelie last night but people were like i hear
it's trashed i'm like come on you guys i thought it was cute it was not it was not like it did not
achieve its fullest potential but i liked some of the songs that's you know what and that's and
that's fine it's
it's closing sad it's closing this week i like i caught it that is so sad when things just go up
and go down philippa sue like come on gag she's gonna play a fucking disney princess someday
she better she's pretty great she better she is great she is so great i actually didn't get to
see her in the oh in the cast of hamilton and her understudy was but I mean
I imagine Philippa
you imagine Philippa yeah
I saw her and she was really such she's
so amazing there you go there's what a beautiful
like pristine voice yes
burn her just letting you have it
come through burn what are
your thoughts on the Hamilton mixtape
my thoughts are that so
many of those tracks are more radio friendly on the hamilton mixtape my thoughts are that so many of those tracks are um more radio
friendly on the cast recording 100 furthermore uh i am not into a solo pop song where you sing
through lines that are meant for 12 different motherfucking characters. That doesn't make a goddamn bit of sense.
It's Quiet Uptown.
Oh, you did something wrong there.
Oh, did I?
You came for my girl.
No, but the thing is, I get it.
I'm actually fully with you.
I mean, Kelly Clarkson is fine.
That's not her fault.
Kelly Clarkson is fine.
All I'm saying is,
the logical fallacy of that song yeah yes yes yes yes
the problem is that uh the other winners of American Idol aren't playing the other character
exactly yeah Fantasia doesn't come in as like Hamilton himself exactly although I will say
I want soul patrol yeah being a general or some shit oh my god I think that the mixtape also does the reverse where it's like
three different people sing the song meant
for one person with satisfied. It's like
why do you have Queen Latifah, Sia
and who else is, and then who's the third?
I don't know. Someone else
but it's like. Oh Miguel. Miguel.
I hate Sia's
performance of that song. Me too. It is
so effective. It's just like
honestly respect the fact that
my name is Anangus Skyler.
She's not thinking about a word she's saying.
And that's
the thing is like Lin-Manuel
oversaw it and
still let all the
intention drop away. It's not terrible.
I think it's not good.
The one thing I'd say is like at least they sound
different. Yeah. I hate covers of like,
I hate one-to-one covers.
Yeah.
Do you remember?
I don't like either version of this song,
but there's that song by Tom Cochran,
Life is a Highway.
Yes.
And then Rascal Flatts covered Life is a Highway.
It is indistinguishable.
Yeah.
There's no reason for it. The original Life is a Highway, other than a manishable yeah there's no reason original life is a highway
other than a man who looks like shrek is now singing yeah also it was like the theme song
to the movie cars yeah which i don't like like i just don't sign me up for like a literal
one-to-one cover no you're right but you know do something with it i totally agree with you
and my other criticism about the hamilton mixtape is they didn't go big enough with it it's like if you're gonna get some
you're gonna do an r&b ballad cover of burn fucking get beyonce to do it i don't like that
andre day version i feel you okay that to me is a beyonce song okay what did you think of uh uh
what's her name jill Scott doing No! I liked
that one. So you just like
blanket do not like
not even some like redeemable parts
of the Hamilton mixtape.
Honestly, this is
my bias. I really like
Kelly Clarkson's cover of
It's Quiet Uptown, but I understand
the criticism of it. Everything else I
kind of just was like, I just didn't think it needed to happen.
I just prefer the cast recording on most counts.
So why wouldn't I just listen to that?
Speaking of cast recording,
did you record for School of Rock?
I did.
How was that?
What was that like?
You're in the studio.
It really was wild.
So we're in the studio on the west, west, west side.
And we're in this studio and like on the West, West, West side. And, you know, we're the adult ensemble.
So, yeah.
Spoiler alert.
We don't got a ton to do.
Yeah.
But, you know, I have a couple of solo lines in a little song called Faculty Quadrille.
Yes.
Thank you so much.
And I have some spoken lines As the gay parent
At the top of the album
There's a moment where Michael Hartney
Sits down in the show
And it earns an applause break
Yes I've heard this is legendary
Talk about getting your moment
Apocryphal
I have heard of this too
When I saw that I just put one finger up
Yes
The bitch did it Here's what else the bitch did I have heard of this too. When I saw that, I just put one finger up. Yes.
Yes.
The bitch did it.
Here's,
here's what else the bitch did.
And I'm sorry I'm bringing this up.
And this is like a little bit of a dredge.
Um,
what?
I'm nervous for this.
You're,
you're,
I like,
I first fell in love with Michael Hartney and this is when I didn't really know him and he had no idea who I was,
but it was when everybody,
all the UCB gays,
we'll just gaze in general,
making it,
it gets better videos
and Hartney had a great one and it's still up
it's so good yeah of course it's
still up I'm not gonna
saved enough gay teens
I got the I got the it gets better moment got
10 followers on Twitter and took it the fuck down
it truly is yeah the only
purpose for that is like
truly kids have reached
out to me there's still a guy i'm in contact with
who's now like in college yeah and um that is a thing see what a great like tangible sort of you
know impact you had that i mean i think i think your opening line of that was um like okay kids
like put down like like hit pause on Glee or on Gaga or whatever.
It was very good.
It was very 2010.
Yeah, it was.
Very 2010.
Oh, man.
I'm so of my time.
You're so of your time.
Yeah, Gaga, topical references.
Glee.
Glee.
I mean, kind of topical in that, yeah.
And speaking of your time, we should ask the question.
Yes.
And Michael told me yesterday that he's got many answers to this question. Well, then answer them as many ways as you want. and that yeah and speaking of your time we should ask the question yes this is the and michael told
me yesterday that he's got many answers to this question answer them as many ways as you want and
you can answer as many ways as well as you want okay so this is the question michael hartney what
made you say culture was for you a young michael it was it was the reason why you decided to take
a step in a cultural direction you said you know what i've heard of this culture and i think i might explore it like cultures for me cultures yeah yeah you get
it great um so i was one of those um like terrible two kids where at age two i was like, hold me, buy me a toy, entertain me.
Youngest?
What's this?
What's that?
Oldest.
Okay.
Just very curious about the world around me.
But so my mom and dad would try to think of ways to kind of get me to calm down and shut the hell up for a moment.
And I guess one night on ABC,
they were airing Superman the movie.
I was two years old.
They plumped me.
Plumped me?
They plumped you right down.
They plumped you right there.
I'm owning it.
Plumped them, plumped them, plumped them.
They plumped me in front of the TV.
And, you know,
Ms. Superman the movie,
she ain't short.
No.
She long. She long, girl. With commercial breaks, she ain't short. No. She long.
She long, girl.
With commercial breaks,
that shit's like three hours.
Is this with Ms. Christopher Reeves?
Oh, yes.
Reeve.
Reeve.
Reeve.
Ms. Christopher Reeves?
Singular.
Ms. Christopher Reeves?
Sorry.
Mr. George Reeves
played Superman in the 50s
in the television show.
Ms. Christopher.
Anyway,
so I shut the hell up
for three hours.
And I was like,
I need all of this all the time.
So then like, so my mom
started buying me Superman comic books.
I taught myself to read
Superman comic books. Wow.
And it's the
least gay thing about me, but I
I'm a huge fan of Superman
to this very day. But see, and I knew that, but I didn a huge fan of Superman 2 this very day.
But see, and I knew that,
but I didn't know it.
It just, that was like the,
that was like the origin story of it.
That's great.
Oh my God.
So that, what is this terrible 2s thing?
It's just when you're a two-year-old, you're bad.
Oh, sure.
It's just like an acting out thing.
You're like incorrigible.
You just need constant stimulation. So victory for the parents there to find superman yeah yeah i mean i
really think they yeah they were very thankful it wasn't a choice it wasn't like your mother was
like oh superman's on this will be what shuts him up it was just like what's on tv yeah yeah
so are you fans of the of the are you a fan of the Zack Snyder reboots?
I am not.
Yeah.
I am decidedly.
Staunchly so.
Staunchly not.
Yeah.
They're pretty self-serious, no?
They are endlessly serious.
Yeah.
Man, I've never popped open an issue of Superman and went,
ooh, I love how fucking humorless and serious right right
right this is so fun yeah wow um yeah they're just serious and superman doesn't care about
people he cares about himself and he's mopey like the ultimate frame in these in the z Snyder Superman cinematic universe is Superman standing in what once was the Capitol building,
which had just been atomized.
Yeah.
Corpses on fire, strewn everywhere.
And no, he is not standing triumphantly.
He's going, people aren't going to like me.
It's this sad face.
And it's not like, poor these people.
Yeah, it's, oh, shit.
And another thing I'm going to get blamed for.
Yeah.
Oh, classic Superman.
Put your cameras away.
Put your cameras away.
That's so stupid.
Well, then on the flip side of that question or this topic,
what is your favorite iteration of Superman out of like every piece of,
like out of like your small bills and all that stuff?
I would say that in filmed media.
Yes.
Christopher Reeve for sure. In the first Superman movie. I mean, he's good in all of them. Christopher Reeve, for sure.
In the first Superman movie.
I mean, he's good in all of them.
I have to check it out.
But that first one is just,
it's my favorite movie
and he just, he's amazing.
I've always thought of myself
as a Batman gay.
Yeah.
Oh yeah?
But I think it's because,
oh yeah, I'm a Batman gay.
Oh, cool.
But I just don't really,
I'm realizing now I don't have much of a vocabulary for Superman
and it's one of those things that I sometimes do,
which is I really like one thing
and when any other thing is like sort of rivalrous with it
and other people like it,
I'm like, no, it's bad.
Yeah, I don't do that.
I don't do that adjacent thing.
I actually, no, I don't know.
It's like that was Star Trek with me
because I'm a big Star Wars person.
Oh, I see.
And I don't need to see Star Trek.
So you think that adjacent properties are frequently mutually exclusive.
I feel like I must take a side.
Right.
You know what I mean?
I can't like Coke and Pepsi.
Yeah, no, exactly.
And let me tell you, up until recently, I was a Pepsi boy.
But now I just feel like I can't be.
I'm sorry, Pepsi.
I can't be on your side anymore.
Wow.
Not after Kendall. Not side anymore wow not after Kendall
not after Kendall
oh shit um Superman's
yeah I gotta I gotta admit and Michael I'm
so sorry this might come as a disappointment I don't
have that much of a vocabulary for
Superman well that's okay I have a question about it
do you think that they kind of darkened up the Superman
films as a response to the success
of the Batman
stuff going more dark?
Probably.
I mean, the first Man of Steel was
produced by Christopher Nolan's
production company. So he kind of
hired Zack Snyder for this whole
shit show.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think like the
serious thing was
in for a while, but I think, like, the serious thing was in for a while.
But I think it's kind of over.
Because DC has found itself mired in it.
Yeah.
Which is why I think they're trying to make, like, Justice League fun.
And hopefully Wonder Woman is going to be fun.
I hear it's good.
I hear it's good, too.
She looks amazing.
She looks amazing.
I think it looks amazing huh i'm cautiously
optimistic that wonder woman is going to be again everything honey yes when i hope it is i really i
hope it is i want to just be screaming yes diana yes but do you do you remember when there was
those rumors that this is like had to be like six or seven years ago when it was first rumored that
Wonder Woman was going to be a movie,
which I guess that there's always been rumblings about it.
Right.
But then when it first,
it was in some trade that Beyonce was going to be Wonder Woman.
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine?
I mean,
kind of.
Yes.
Yeah.
It was rhetorical.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I'm sure Gal Gadot was going to be wonderful, but if I have the option of Beyonce,
I have always appreciated Beyonce's screen talents, acting talents.
Guys, what if they made a Wonder Woman movie in the late 90s and it was Catherine Zeta
Jones?
Oh, 100%.
I would have been down for it.
She would have been so like, oh, you know, she's such like a tigress in that time. I would have been so into it. I would have been. Yeah, 100%. I would have been down for it. She would have been so like, oh, you know, she's
such like a tigress in that time. I would have been so
into it. I would have been. Yeah, 100%. It might not
have been the best movie, but it would have been
fun to watch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Late 90s superhero
movies are the actual
worst. Yeah. Well, I... Ooh, let me
add some Spawn. Yeah. Ooh,
Spawn. Oh, my God. I actually know
someone that was in Spawn.
They were in it? Yes, Sidney.
Sidney Boudoir, who I went
to college with,
was a little girl in the movie Spawn.
I think she played Spawn's daughter.
Holy shit. I'm gonna fact check this with
my friends that went to college with us,
but I'm almost positive that's true.
Spawn is so quintessentially of its
time. What a horrible movie.
What was the first good superhero movie of the,
I guess, Spider-Man, right?
The 2001 Spider-Man with Tobes?
Oh, X-Men.
Oh, X-Men.
People say X-Men in 2000.
I'm not a fan of X-Men.
I'm not a super big fan of Spider-Man in 2002.
Of Marvel in general?
You're not a super big fan of Marvel?
Would you choose Marvel?
I definitely don't really read Marvel books,
but I do like a lot of the
Movies I think that X2
Is like great
Great yes the one I haven't seen
And Spider-Man 2 is really good
But I think mostly sorry gang
I think Sam Raimi is a hack
Ah yeah that's fair
With 3 people who live for like Evil Dead
And Army of Darkness and Drag Me to Hell
And all this business I'm like no
He should be bad with Spider-Man 3 for sure.
Oh, one of the craziest,
one of the craziest bad movies I've ever seen.
Oh my God.
There are more musical numbers in Spider-Man 3
than in Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark, a musical.
Did you see that?
Yes, twice, bitch.
Oh my God.
I saw that twice. Why that twice paid for it zero times
so uh my partner's family was coming to visit new york and they wanted to see it
they bought us tickets too and i was like these tickets are expensive oh my god yeah and we watch
this thing and oh my god so like it starts and you're like oh ooh, Tamor, I can get on board with this. It's like saffron fabric swings.
I'm like, yes.
Oh my God.
And then, oh God, it's the, neither of you guys saw it?
Because we were poor ass college students.
It can be summed up like this.
There is a number where Spider-Man makes his debut And it's fucking cool
He is swinging all around
It's like mind-blowing how all of this technology is working
Because it's like those roving robot drone things
From like the NFL
Which is literally insane that they use that
So insane
Because I mean,
if things go wrong,
these actors are in danger.
But these are just incredible acrobatic performers.
It's like so expensive looking and cool.
And you know,
there's a pretty dope actually edge guitar riff
that's playing while all this shit's happening.
It's like, yes yes I'm on board
with this everyone's
wrong it's gonna make its money back
it's gonna be great and then
so all the Spider-Man
stuff the live action
Spider-Man kind of swings off
stage and you hear a
voiceover of a crying baby
and then a giant
cardboard cutout four stories tall of a crying baby and then a giant cardboard cutout four stories tall of a crying
baby lowers from the rafters and as it's falling a cardboard cutout of a spider-man hand tips in and just as like it catches the baby and the number ends with cardboard
we have just watched a a dizzying blend yeah of physical prowess and technological achievement
and it ends with fucking cardboard it is pure madness
wow and at that point you were just
your arms folded right there
folded I literally
I think
went I don't know how to describe
this to podcast people you know
when you're like who knows
with your arms
and I did that and I think I turned
to someone and I think I turned to someone.
And I went, what?
Yeah.
It was fucking crazy.
I have to say, I'm happy that I missed it.
Also, because I never thought that Bono was going to write good music for a musical.
I'm guessing the music was pretty bad, right?
Well, I mean, some of it was bad.
But some of it was good.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm revealing my basicness. U2 is my favorite band by a some of it was good. Okay. Okay. I'm revealing my basicness.
U2 is my favorite band by a mile.
There you go.
Okay.
Sorry.
I love them.
Well, it's fine.
People shit on them all the time.

Oh, I know.
I loved that about her.
Yeah.
Yeah.

I listened to that podcast and I just snapped and screamed and loved it um the problem with the score is that a bunch of uh equipment was put in front
of speakers oh feedbacky so you can't hear lyrics it was crazy i also read the glenn burger one of
the book writers wrote a book called song of spider-Man where he's talking about all this promise and how it snowballed
into this nightmare. And one of the things was, oh yeah,
we built this huge set piece that pretty nicely
snugly fits right over the main speaker.
I hope you're cool with it, everyone.
That's... Wow.
That's just epic.
Yeah.
Like, what an epic...
What a what not to do.
Julie, why didn't you get in there?
I think she might be a little bit
of a crazy mess too, though, right?
A little bit of one?
Wait, hold on.
The first time,
Disney was like,
no, Julie.
No, Julie.
Crazy lady. Oh, sorry, witch titsits I don't think so then then when she won all these Tony's and had all this acclaim yeah well just I guess let's
just let Julie be Julie I mean that has to be what happened right Julie be Julie do a jukebox
musical of the Beatles anyways yeah I didn't like that movie either I did a jukebox musical of the Beatles and it was
yeah I didn't like that movie either I have to ask you
about Andrew Lloyd Webber
oh this is a man that you know
yeah I've definitely
met him a bunch and worked with him
and yeah
and he's a man with two feet
firmly planted on earth
um yeah
yeah I mean all of my dealings with him have been very pleasant and nice Two feet firmly planted on earth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, all of my dealings with him have been very pleasant and nice.
So there's no tea.
I can't say there's a ton of tea.
I think he would give me the tea.
About AL dubs.
I'm trying to think of like Andrew gossip.
Just that he's like an eccentric person, I guess.
I remember he guest judged American Idol and he was crazy with the contestants. What that he's like an eccentric person, I guess. I remember he guest judged
American Idol
and he was crazy
with the contestants.
He was like,
you are playing
a glamour puss.
And this woman's eyes
were like,
you're a glamour puss.
And she was like,
oh my God.
Okay.
And the woman was like
unsettled.
She was like,
oh.
So here's the coolest thing
that happened
that was like, oh, a little coolest thing that happened uh that was like oh
a little peek behind the al dubs curtain was there was this like you know bit of transition music
that andrew wrote and then did not like during tech so we're kind of standing on stage and he's saying i can't that's not that uh uh get me up get me a piano oh my god so
i guess it was i there was this piano that was like in the um uh one of the wings of the winter
garden and someone pushed it out and it was like a rehearsal piano. Um, and Andrew went up to it and I see him doing like math in his head.
Oh my God.
Wow.
And then he just plunks out the thing,
uh,
the new transition music.
His assistant is watching feverishly because he knows he's about to have to
go tell the pit,
um,
exactly what this new music is.
And so to watch creation like that,
and then like a very efficient process
for delivering that information.
And executing it.
Because literally then we walked off stage,
reset the scene,
did the transition with the new music,
and he was like, whoa it was fucking crazy
that's insane yeah the real housewives of new york city are back for another bite of the big apple

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His
father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez
wanted to go home and he wanted to take
his son with him. Or his relatives
in Miami. Imagine that your
mother died trying
to get you to freedom. At the
heart of it all is still this painful
family separation. Something
that as a Cuban, I know
all too well.

necessarily need to be juice honey so that the tea is different than the juice rule number 89 of
culture the tea is different from the juice from or than i don't care bitch okay the tea is different
than the juice the tea is different than the juice okay so besides superman Superman, I know one. Yeah? Walt Disney World.
Oh.
And speaking of...
Why do you say, oh, like you're surprised?
Like this isn't a big part of your life.
Don't be apologizing.
No, I'm not apologizing for it.
Don't cover.
Don't cover.
I'm not covering.
It's just non-chronological.
Okay, so would you prefer...
So age two Superman.
Okay, yes.
So then March 25th, 1989, I watched my first episode of SNL
yes yes Mary Tyler Moore was the host the late beloved yes what age are we I
was days from nine years old okay okay five days from days from nine. Uh, and, um,
yeah,
I, I,
there was this robot repair sketch.
It's pretty famous that,
um,
Phil Hartman did that.
I was just like,
Oh,
like my brain,
like rewired from watching it.
So then that year,
like the naked gun came out.
And I think that was the year that space balls
like started airing on cable which i had so it was like all these parody right farce satire
things yeah all at once and uh i love that shit when it's done well. When it's done well, I love that shit. I guess the last really good like parody movie,
I still, I love Scary Movie 3.
But like then they got so bad.
I think the last great one for me was,
that was not a scary movie,
was Not Another Teen Movie.
Love Not Another Teen Movie.
That was my answer.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That is a good one.
It really is good.
When she goes over to the girl
and they're trying to make her hot
text off her glasses
and puts her head on and goes,
done.
I mean, she goes,
I'm a genius.
I'm a miracle worker.
And then there's just a beat of them
both staring in the mirror
for like a second too long.
It's like kind of perfect editing.
Yeah, it's great.
Wait, favorite SNL cast member,
Hartman or I have a guess,
Mike Myers.
Correct.
Mike Myers.
Who Hartman got to see at guess Mike Myers correct Mike Myers who um who Hartney got to see uh at another
Forever Dog podcast live episode oh yeah McDonald's Kevin McDonald show at the New York City Podfest
and that was so fun and then we all we all hung out afterwards it was you got to talk to him
a little tiny bit a tiny bit and that was just the whole world to me so fun it was so great
he's such a legend
and hearing him talk and Michael you can speak to this too
but it was like it sucked the air
out of the room like you were just listening to his
every word and what stuck with me was
he's making this documentary now about
I forgot who and I think
Joe do you know remember who this was about
well he had made a documentary about Shep Gordon
it was Shep Gordon
like a manager of musicians yes yes exactly and I think Kevin Remember who this was about? He had made a documentary about Shep Gordon. It was Shep Gordon.
A manager of musicians.
Yes, exactly.
Kevin asked him why he made that documentary or why he wanted to.
Mike was saying how he wanted to show that
you can be successful and have this prolific career
but also be a nice person.
And be kind.
And be kind.
That's what he said.
I was like, oh well then that must mean
mike myers is a kind person and like i fully believe that and that's that's that's the tea
well he was certainly kind to us yes and then i had bought his canada book uh-huh i was in a
bookstore i didn't know this book existed i was in a bookstore in la and i just suddenly see mike myers canada and i was like what the fuck
grab it it's a giant book written by my idol about i've never heard of about canada and i was like
well i'm paying full price for this fucking book i can't believe i'm doing this wow uh and
immediately yeah snatched it up did you like the book? I love it. I gotta get it.
Is it funny?
It's hilarious.
I mean, you know, a lot of it's about Canada,
but it's about him growing up.
I mean, A, learning about Canada is cool,
and B, learning about him,
I mean, he definitely folds in getting into comedy,
training at Second City, getting hired forl so it's it's it's great
yeah so is it in one of those autobiographies that like this is disguised as something else
sort of sure yeah i mean i gotta get i had no idea he had this book out either until i think
probably the show but now like you're now you're reminding me of it i want to get it again i'll
tell you the worst autobiography that's out there here we go i can't that stupid neil patrick harris choose your own adventure autobiography
you know what entirely as a choose your own adventure matt rogers that shit was on you
wait listen i bought that shit i wanted it to be better than it was. Because you like a fucking Neil.
I love me some Neil.
You like a clean cut gay with a gimmick.
I'm kidding.
I do like a clean cut gay with a gimmick.
Clean cut gay with a gimmick.
Wow.
Watch out.
Coming to SNL.
Coming to SNL.
Well, no, it's so bad it's so distracting it's like if you want to find out
what happened when I got cast in Rent
and fucked a woman
flip to page 89
if not
and you want to see a fucking crazy
picture flip to 16 it's like I don't care
it's like I want to read the book of your life
that's why I got it I to 16 it's like i don't care yeah it's like i want to read the book of your life that's why i got it right i get that it's fun it wasn't also magic is so stupid
that is the kernel of truth that we arrive at i like when a gay though has like a
really like not gay passion sure like superman would you consider magic and not gay no i think it's like us like a really
like brutally dorky straight person yeah i agree what's your straight passion video games oh but i
think but there is a culture of gay gamer but like i don't i don't fully buy into that culture either
because those are there are some real fucking weirdos out there i think i have exclusively gay
interests but i would say not exclusively i would say the roller coaster thing is like a borderline There are some real fucking weirdos out there. I think I have exclusively gay interests,
but I would say... Not exclusively.
I would say the roller coaster thing is borderline.
Yeah.
I'm on Screamscape.com,
which is a website that is devoted
to North American theme parks.
Oh.
And I know all the roller coaster designers.
I know all the companies
and all the types of coasters.
And it's like a...
And one time I went to Paramount Kings Island in Ohio by myself when I was on tour doing something and I went roller coaster and like i was online with this couple that clearly were like roller coaster people and they were talking about and they were getting into
it and i was like am i gonna excuse me hi um and i like all of a sudden i was like being a real freak
with them that's like we all had looked up the roller coaster database and i looked it all up
and knew exact heights of the coasters and speeds and like how many inversions everything had and it was yeah but i was really
straight of you that yeah i said that's like a really straight thing and um that's your one
straight thing about me is but then like when when you get down to it it really to me is all about
disney and universal it's about orlando it's about immersive theme park experiences yeah but i feel like
roller coaster culture and immersive theme park culture are different like totally six flags is
not a six flags is not a an immersive it's not a theme park it's a amusement park and anytime
someone says to me like i like i'm more of a six flags person than a Universal Studios person or a Disney person.
I'm like, you have no imagination.
Right.
Then you're trash.
Absolutely.
So with that...
If you like to get sick and spin around, you should be in a hospital.
In a what?
Hospital.
Okay.
They should be in...
So I'm going to have my quick stroke real quick.
And when we come back, we're going to get into it about Disney with Michael Harkness. Because I can't let him go we come back we're gonna get into it about disney
route with michael hartney because i can't let him go not on this podcast without getting into it
also these bitches have betrayed me so you'll find out about that right after this message
from our fucking sponsors okay girl we have for you all a little bit of an offer with our friend
michael hartney now michael let's talk about Casper Mattress.
What a stirring tale.
What a stirring tale.
Well, let's, you know what?
We pitched this movie called Five Days for Warby Parker starring Anne Hathaway.
And it became a huge hit.
Became a huge, huge film.
Winner of three Golden Globe nominations.
Like the Mara sisters both won.
The Mara sisters both won.
For their small supporting roles.
I've watched Shocker. yeah yes they're under fives
now let's pitch the movie for casper mattresses honey i think this is a magical fairy tale yeah
well so we have a magical fairy tale of which of course stars anna kendrick anna kendrick is the
princess as the princess because you know once you see someone in a role and it really works
you just keep doing that you You're talking about Cinderella.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And Into the Woods.
She killed that.
Killed it.
Now, Anna Kendrick stars as Princess...
Glina.
Glina.
And she is out there.
And this is like a princess and a modern tale.
A modernization of the princess and the queen.
She's mattressless in the beginning. She's mattressless in the beginning.
She's mattressless in the beginning.
But then a witch gives her a Casper mattress, honey.
Played by Selah Ward.
Yes.
Thank you.
Finally.
Who's back?
Who's back?
She comes back like Hayley's Comet.
Once every 16 years, you see Selah Ward just working. Absolutely. And the witch says... Every once and again years you see absolutely and the witch says every once
and again you might say hmm and you
think of Sela she's one of my sisters
so she gives her this enchanted
enchanted mattress. And she either
can save $50 on it
or do a 100-day free
trial.
100-day free trial.
This is real. Is this real?
You can do a Casper mattress 100-day free trial.
You can do a 100-day free
trial by logging on to
caspertrial.com forward slash
las culturistas. It might be part of the offer.
Who knows?
But anyway.
That's like the end of act one.
That's the end of act one.
Yeah.
And then in the second act, her best friend played by Taylor Swift in a terrible performance.
Horrible.
She's so bad in this.
Yeah.
It's like stop putting pop stars in movies.
She plays the squirrel best friend.
And the CGI is terrible.
Terrible.
It just is so bad.
The mocap dots are still in the frame.
You can still see them.
It's such a bad performance. It's so bad.
And such a bad movie.
And such a bad moment, I should say.
The movie's grand.
But the squirrel friend betrays her,
betrays Glina.
Yeah.
Played by Anna Kendrick.
Yeah.
By setting,
setting a fire in the forest and the bed burns and the bed burns.
But then the witch is revealed to be a fairy and the fairy gives her a new
Casper mattress that she has to pay around $950 for.
Cause she did have that $50 discount
for a mattress that has just the right sink,
just the right bounds,
with two foam technologies.
I was going to say latex foam and memory foam.
That's right.
And that's actually a twist in later part of the movie,
because Glina, the princess,
loses her memory.
Oh my God.
And then she loses her latex.
She lays down on the,
on the memory foam and she gets it back.
And then she finds her latex under the bed.
If you know what I mean.
Oh,
I know what you mean.
Cause that Prince is played by Orlando Bloom.
That's correct.
There you go.

And what's the film called?
The film is called once
upon a mattress and honey that is a little bit of an offer and we're back with michael hartney
and um i could say you just heard a little bit about a magical world, and I'm ready to talk more about a magical world.
And you guys, I have breaking tea.
Did you see what I posted today?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay, so for everyone at home, did you see this, Producer Joe?
Yes, you did.
You commented.
All right, so a while back, I did a little change.org petition,
literally kind of as a joke, saying the Trump animatronic
shouldn't be able to speak in hall of presidents.
It got like 15,000 signatures,
lo and behold.
And whatever.
I mean,
but then I was like,
yeah,
I really believe this.
Like this should not happen.
This is like a place for families and children and international populace.
So like,
why,
why do we have to listen to this now the g that it's probably not going to
happen the the animatronic is probably not going to speak because disney doesn't want to deal with
it right trump won't cooperate and the imagineers don't are just they don't know what to do they're
kind of like well in iraq in a place, because the thing has to reopen. Yeah.
But also, like,
you don't even know if you want them to record it
because of what could be going on
with Russia.
Right, right, right.
If you haven't read the news
and you only listen to this podcast,
like, shit's gone down with Russia.
So you gotta look that up.
So thank you,
America's number one news source.
We're not your only harbingers of culture.
I'm your most trusted news source
and you can get that right what's fascinating is well i mean wasn't this also like floating
around was that they wanted to cut the time down from 23 minutes to like well this is a this is a
good topic what do you think of the longer disney attractions these shows these performances country
bear jamboree sorry well that is shortened that is shortened. That was shortened from what? 16 to 11 minutes?
That's a cool thing that I know.
I think it was in the article.
Oh, that's fair.
Maybe that's why I know it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
I feel better.
For me, they can be long.
Yeah.
I'm fine.
Yeah.
Especially because I don't know if y'all know this but Florida is hot
it's warm there
if you want to go into a building
you don't want to be kicked out
that shit has AC
there's nothing like the AC when you go in there
AC in Florida? are you kidding me?
it is the best
honestly every time I go down to Universal Studios
and I go into the ET room
I'm like oh my god thank god
let me see the stars honey and I go into the E.T. room, I'm like, oh my god, thank god. Thank god, let me see the stars, honey.
And I don't like
that attraction very much, although it's a little
bit of a gag. It's kind of a gag.
Love it. Yeah, and you know what? I do love it.
Here's what I don't love, and this is weird.
When they get to E.T.'s planet...
Then it gets weird. That's weird.
Gets weird, don't like it, and ready? That room?
Warm.
All of a sudden, warm. It's warm's warm yeah what happened to the temp and you
know maybe non-canon those aliens those aren't in the fucking non-canonical non-canonical aliens
the one that's like welcome home do you think that spielberg was like well we've really got
to get our people just we've really got to sign off on all of these yes this one with 90 eyes
yeah sure that one and the rest of them, you know what?
Just make them little ETs. I'm tired.
They should be small ETs.
That's better. In fact, this one,
that's the flower. Can we get rid of her?
No? She's already stapled in.
Those didn't make any sense, but yeah, I did not clock that it was
warm in that room. You know what? I changed my mind.
I don't like it anymore.
I love that. I have such fond childhood
memories on that ride. What a great cue.
But why is there no animatronic drew?
There should be an animatronic drew.
Okay.
Drew's the Barrymore.
Oh,
it took you a second.
I,
I think of her as Gertie.
Right.
Oh,
right,
right,
right.
She wasn't drew yet.
She was going to say she was not true.
She was not true.
As we know her,
I guess she never had the opportunity to be Gertie for me. It was always young, little Drew Barrymore. She wasn't Drew yet. That's what I was going to say. She was not Drew. She was not Drew as we know her.
I guess she never had the opportunity to be Gertie for me.
It was always little Drew Barrymore.
What's the tea? Is that getting struck down to make way for something else?
I feel like that's got to be next.
Also at Universal Studios Florida, what's old is that Terminator 3D show,
which is not holding up.
No.
I haven't seen her.
Well, she, though, was supposed to.
This is the tea. I'm obsessed
with all of this. This is the tea.
Gendering these rides and experiences in films.
Terminator 2, she
was supposed to get knocked down early
on because
James Cameron, they were
talking to her. For Avatar.
About putting Avatar in that space. Oh, Avatar.
Avatar. And now famously
we know she, though it has now just
opened up in animal kingdom where you bitches are going next week bitch we are out there on a gig
and hartney god bless him was like just emailed everybody in the group was like yeah hey not to
be a monster but bowen and i are going to fucking disney world and we want to go see uh what is it
called world of pandora world of pandora but then what's the right call right of path right flight monster but bo and i are going to fucking disney world and we want to go see uh what is it called
world of pandora world of pandora but then what's the right called right of path right flight of
flight of passage which i've just realized it is a pun on right of passage which and i hate it
i hate that yeah yeah yeah i just realized it in this second um and those fucking tvs
those tv ads where you see the fucking animatronic blue person just saying,
Welcome to Pandora.
That's what it is.
Oh, cool.
Okay.
I speak Navi, boys.
Give me some unobtainium, honey.
Unobtainium!
But that name is apparently, like, just legendary.
It's, like, sort of like this, um...
Yeah, it's Navi.
No, no, no, but it's, like, it's been throughout,
it's been in literature throughout the ages.
The name unobtainium has been...
Oh, is that right?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Apparently that's, like,
I was having this conversation with someone,
I was like, what a fucking stupid name.
Like, they couldn't have thought of something better,
and they were like, no, it's actually...
It's a cultural history. I actually don't believe them at all they showed me here's the
fucking reality about here's the reality they showed me scrolls illustrated ancient scrolls
they had they had the receipts honey um here's the tea about world of pandora
we're gonna be hearing there are some issues okay and i never i want
to say something because i know that you are you're a disney guy yeah yeah i am as a universal
gay i am not throwing shade at disney i just i get disappointed sometimes when i feel like
something that i loved so much when i was little has become a mall. You know what I mean?
But it's always been a fucking mall.
Not really.
Okay.
Harden, what's the, you?
I mean, I do understand the frustration with, oh, another, another price hike, another, you you know deluxe experience that you'd have to
pony up for but the thing is you don't have to do any of those things but i but but i i don't
know maybe it's just me feeling entitled to disney right well i think that is i feel like that is it's an insane phenomenon that so many people feel like an ownership i know
this corporation i mean it's really bizarre and i am no i'm not immune to it at all right but like
it's sweet that we all care so much about this thing but it really is a company with like you
know a board and yeah
in a glassed conference and they would kill you if they had to oh they would they would
that's the thing if they knew you would expose their secrets they would kill you in a second
so would taylor swift so she would watch the light leave your eyes taylor swift wow yeah
anyone with over a million dollars i think would kill you would you i would okay if i had money to protect you're
dead if you're a threat to me you're done you so you are i would kill you are forecasting
your manslaughter no murder i'm premeditated premeditated murder i'm kidding i'm sorry um
i guess i just feel oh but speaking of which speaking of like this just remembering that
it's a corporation
Like even this fucking article
That you posted today
About the Hall of Presidents
Like Bob Iger fucking
Made a statement about it
Back like
Right after the election
Like even
It's gone all the way up to like
The highest ranks of Disney
For him to be like
I will come out
And make a statement about
The Hall of Presidents
Isn't that
Like that's insane
It's a bizarre position they found themselves in.
That's for sure.
I don't know what they'll do.
I will say when I went to Hall of Presidents in 2014, I was so fucking scared that someone
was going to boo Obama.
I was terrified. It did not happen yeah it restored
my faith in america and you know what i did i burst into tears oh that's beautiful it is not
beautiful it was pathetic no i love it so that trip that uh january 2014 trip to disney so i i had first gone in 91 with my family yes
then i went on spring break uh uh when i was 18 with like high schoolers yes were we a homo at
this point we were an out homo oh we're youngly out yeah we came out when i was 16 okay come on
girl come on so i was so we went to the house of blues in downtown Disney or whatever.
Disney Springs now.
Disney Springs now.
Now Disney Springs.
And we had a server who said, I said something.
We were kind of joking around.
And I must have said something slightly Queenie or something.
Remember that word, Queenie?
I said it because the story is from the 90s. Taraji's character in Benjamin Button was named Queenie or something. Remember that word, Queenie? I said it because the story is from the 90s.
Taraji's character in Benjamin Button was named Queenie.
Some facts for the kids.
Great, great.
For you children.
I have a good Benjamin Button story.
You need that.
He went, hey man, you're being a little,
and he flipped his wrist down,
and he went, you're being a little Disney.
Whoa. And i was like well
i am disney motherfucker and if you have a problem with it i guess you can fuck off and not get a tip
from us oh did you say this i was pissed yeah why wouldn't you and this table the table of my
friends was also not having it god bless did he get fired no he apologized i mean he was being
nice up until then it's not like he said you're a faggot i'm going to kill you he probably thought
he was being funny he definitely thought he was being funny oh my god man you're being a little
disney oh god that's the worst sentence i've ever heard so for those of you who are listening i
probably didn't call him a motherfucker but i definitely expressed that you're talking to an out gay person who doesn't appreciate what you're
saying so for those of you so for those of you who can't see like right before the disney it's
just like limp rest it's like yeah boom threw that wrist down oh i hate that disgusting it was gross
i hate when you find that in those parks too, which is like, what's so frustrating about the whole Trump animatronic thing is that you
remember it is Florida.
Yeah.
And like a lot,
like there is a lot of trash that rolls through there.
So it's like,
but I'll say I've never seen anyone give any shade to any same sex couple or
anything like that.
I think they,
they,
they,
they leave it at the door.
And heartening her going
during gay days. Are you really?
Is it during gay days?
Pandora's gonna be lit.
I mean, bring that red t-shirt, honey.
We're gonna be wearing red t-shirts.
We're gonna be wearing red t-shirts.
We'll bring back the hanky coat.
Why not?
Tina's gonna be flowing.
Is that what they say? There's meth everywhere. the hanky code. Why not? Yeah. The Tina's gonna be flowing. Tina's gonna be flowing.
Is that what they say? There's meth everywhere.
There's meth
everywhere in Pandora, I heard.
Oh my god. They started growing it.
Yeah. After the first movie,
that's actually the plot of the second movie.
The night before we are there,
it's, I think, Tidal Wave,
which is like the gay party at like Typhoon Lagoon.
No!
Can you imagine getting just like fucking jacked off in the wave pool?
Oh my God.
That thing is going to be just... I vividly want that.
There's just going to be like a layer of gonorrhea on the top of that lazy river.
It's like a film.
I'm so sad we're not there longer.
So stay longer.
No, we can only go there for like a small window of time because we're only
there for the weekend are you doing a full day no it's like we're doing a night right so we're
doing we're doing oh wait we're opening the park then we're going back doing our gig yeah and then
we're going back at night oh my god i'm obsessed with this commitment amazing and meanwhile everyone
else is like well half the group is going the other half is like yeah we're gonna so did you fast pass already we fast pass
that's because we're getting put up at a hotel with our job and we were like this is not enough
so the three of us got a room at all-star music so that we could get fast passes and extra magic hours.
Oh my God.
Extra magic hours. Like the waking nightmares that we have.
So are you getting a park hopper
or are you just going to hang out?
No, no.
We're just doing animal kingdom.
And the thing is,
if we change our minds,
we can always upgrade to park hopper.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which we did.
We literally did.
I don't think we're going to need to,
but you're not going to want to.
Well, we could talk a lot about which park has the magic hours, whatever.
But like you at home are like literally asleep.
Yeah.
We've talked about Superman, Disney.
That's what I love, though.
And the listeners know that.
I mean.
They love me for it, I think.
Someday soon, and I will prophecy this,
there will be a June someday
where we bring all the queer-adjacent people
and we all go.
We have to.
We have to go during gay days.
I really want to go.
And also...
It has to be during gay days.
I don't know.
I think it'd be so fun.
It would be fun,
but you can make it your own gay day
In October when there's no
Like no craziness going on
I sort of agree with that
You can make your own gay day
We have our gay day experience because it just is
Serendipitous
But I am like all about
A fall
I'm all about like getting there in October
I'm into
Right after New Year's as well.
For sure.
Is that a lull?
The thing is the temperature is a little funky.
Oh, totally.
But yeah, I mean, I used to go for New Year's.
I went two years in a row.
Wow.
That's crazy.
I did Orlando New Year's.
Peak.
Peak.
Peak.
Crowds.
When Hogwarts was first opened, we did new year's eve
announcer adventure in universe studios and it was crazy and here's what matt rogers did
he was waiting i don't regret it he was waiting in line with chelsea his sister chelsea for
a forbidden journey young sister harry pot Journey. 24. The line was nuts.
And so they decided to just
walk in and cut the
whole fucking line. Not correct.
The line
to the Wizarding World at large
was three hours long.
You couldn't get even into the land.
So you...
And so I was gonna have to
wait to get three hours just to get into the land to look at the
fucking castle castle and i was like oh right because it wasn't even diagon alley it's just
stupid hogsmeade now they have diagon alley but at first they didn't so i was like you know what
come on and we just walked past the line, honey. Walked right in. And no one stopped you.
Nobody.
Nobody even dreamed. You just have to walk with purpose, I guess.
You just got to act like you know where you're going at all times.
You can get it anywhere, I think.
If you look like you know where you're going, I agree with this.
If you look like you know what's up, you're getting there.
Rule number 17.
Look like you know where you're going. Look like you know where you're going.
One more time.
Rule number 17 of culture.
Look like you know where you're going.
Absolutely.
I think that's a good one.
That's actually, that's a really practical one.
It's like be the...
Appliable.
Appliable.
Act like the person you want to be in the world.
You know what?
Say a word like you know where you're going.
Exactly.
Even if it's not real.
Say a non-word like you've been saying this word all your life and that it's a real word so when you're
down there in orlando is it really just a disney affair or do you ever dip your toe in the universal
studios parks so um i had never been a universal um and i had this like final week before school of rock started rehearsals on
Broadway.
And I knew I wasn't going to be taking vacation anytime soon.
So,
yeah.
So I was like,
well,
honey,
we've been to Disney a couple of times now.
Why don't we try,
uh,
or,
uh,
universal studios.
And he was very gracious and game and indulges me on these stupid,
uh,
theme park adventures.
And was,
was this with Jason and Kristen or no,
that was a different,
no,
that was,
um,
Jason and Kristen.
Uh,
I went to Disneyland with,
Oh,
yes.
Uh,
when we went to LA to do dead dad's club.
Yeah.
Uh,
uh,
really great sketch show.
Uh,
Douglas White was in it.
Michael Hartney directed. Oh yeah. Yeah. True story Weidich was in it.
Michael Hartney directed it.
Oh.
Yeah.
True story.
I was also in it.
I designed the postcard.
Oh, did you?
I did, yeah. Oh, cute.
Yeah.
It was good.
Yeah, that was a fun one.
Anyway, we, yeah, we went to Universal for the first time and we stayed at Cabana Bay.
It's a good one.
And it really was.
We just did that one.
And it was great.
And it was very fun, but also affirmed that I am doggedly Disney.
Okay, explain.
He likes atmosphere.
I like, I feel like so many of the attractions at Universal rely on screens and a motion simulator.
Okay.
Okay.
Which if Disney only had rides like that, I would also be very sick of that.
Sure.
So I just feel like it's a diversity of mode of attraction that I'm looking for in a theme
park.
Right.
There were so many screens and my constitution can only take so much in a theme park. Right. There were so many screens and like my constitution
can only take so much in a row.
Yeah.
So like we'd have to take these breaks.
Like I can't look at another blurry ass,
tiny approximation of Helena Bonham Carter
on a screen.
There's only so much of that in my life.
It was pretty fierce though. Oh my life. It was pretty fierce, though.
Oh, my God.
It was great.
It was fine.
No, it was great.
No, she fucking...
Ready for my, like,
here are my universal gags.
Here's the one where I was like,
why aren't people talking about this one?
Ms. Mommy Honey.
Oh, no, everyone talks about it.
I'm obsessed with the mommy.
That fake ending bitch
Yeah the fake ending was the tea
And when they kill the girl and her blood splashes on you
Obsessed
And the roof lights on fire bitch
And it's so hot
Talk about warm
I love DT cause it's classic dark ride
Ready
Cat in the hat
Magical
That is a magical dark ride They've toned it down a lot Ride. Ready? Cat in the Hat. Cat in the Hat. Magical. Cat in the Hat. You know what?
That is a magical dark ride.
It is lovely.
They've toned it down a lot.
It doesn't spin at all.
It used to be better because it would whip around and it was kind of fun.
Now it just is fully stationary because a little fucking kid fell out of it.
Oh, shit.
Fucking tape the kid down.
Yeah.
I always blame the parents.
They got it.
They got it.
It's the onus is on the parents to tape their child down. Just hold the kid down. Yeah, you know what? I always blame the parents. The onus is on the parents to tape their child down.
Just hold the kid.
Tape down your children, parents.
So what do you think of the Jurassic Park?
It's terrible.
I think that the one in Florida is better than the one in California.
A hundred percent.
What?
I disagree.
I think it's the other way around.
When I was on it in Florida, there was a woman behind me with her elderly parents,
and she was, this is literally the ride.
Ready?
Oh, look, my tree.
Oh, look, my box.
Dad, dad, it's a little dinosaur.
Ma, look at this fern.
Like literally every noun.
No.
Every noun that we floated by.
Pitch that at Character's Welcome.
I would watch that.
It was fucking crazy.
Look at that.
So then you get much wetter in Florida.
Oh, sure.
And that water, bitch, I smelled like full barf for the rest
of the day.
It's not clean. It was not clean.
I was wearing barf water on my
boudris for the rest
of the day.
You get even wetter on the Popeye ride.
No, on the Dudley Jewelry ride.
I didn't go on the Popeye ride
because of that. But that would have cleaned you.
But I did go on the Dudley Do-Right ride.
Such a gag.
So good.
Loved it.
Yeah.
Also classic Disney feeling.
Yes, yes, yes.
Could use a little bit of plussing.
Could use a coat of paint.
The characters could use it.
Sure.
100%.
It's like a more grown-up Splash Mountain.
They're looking a little shitty.
There's a tiny drop.
And there's a huge drop.
Before there's a huge drop, the tiny drop got us soaked.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The big drop.
Sprint.
Not a rivulet of water.
Hit our persons.
I love that.
The tiny, I mean, it is literally two feet.
We just got fucking drenched.
So all that said, Universal was very fun.
I was obsessed with like Fast Food Boulevard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Simpsons stuff.
The Simpsons stuff is pretty good.
Love it.
I think, you know what?
I totally agree with you.
There's too many screens.
Too many screens.
Many of the rides are the same.
Like the Transformers ride and the Spider-Man ride.
Same ride.
It completely ruined Spider-Man, which was revolutionary. I still think Spider-Man's way better than Transformers ride and the Spider-Man ride. Same ride. It completely ruined Spider-Man, which was revolutionary.
I still think Spider-Man's
way better than Transformers
because at least you know
what the fuck is happening
in Spider-Man.
I guess.
You can say the same thing
about the Transformers movies,
though.
I never know
what the hell is going on.
I don't know what's happening.
Oh, could you close,
really,
more tight on this
undulating
box of nothing?
Yeah.
I never have any idea what's happening.
People love that shit.
Do you understand what's going on in the Avengers movies?
I don't know what the fuck's happening in any of them.
I do know what's going on in Avengers movies,
but the Transformers movies have me lost.
Yeah, those are done.
The second one.
At this point, yeah.
You know what?
I've gotten lost.
I can't even go see the Avengers movies because I just think...
Here's the problem.
They're all the same movie now yeah they started disparate like people are like oh
the best captain america movie is winter soldier yeah yeah that movie is just another like avengers
cut and paste movie the first captain america movie takes place in the 40s and has its own
identity the first thor movie is like this juxtaposition of this mythical character in a small town learning how to be.
And it has its own character.
Every one of those movies and sequels since just feels like, oh, and here's Avengers Chapter 22, The Avengering.
They tried to smush it all into i just all feels like this just another in an ongoing saga which
is fine but i feel like each thing should have its own personality i think what they tried to do was
they tried they looked which one made the most money yeah and that was iron man and they said
when they're their own movies that's fine but when they're all together try to make them feel like
iron man that's why they all have that kind of like Robert Downey Jr.
to them.
And they kind of have this like pace.
That's like a little too fast.
You know,
it's just like,
it's like things are just happening a little too fast.
And like,
not every actor is like good at that,
but it feels like because Iron Man was the most successful and maybe they
feel like Robert Downey Jr.
Is like the one that,
that they have to like accommodate.
Um,
it feels like everything else is
trying to be that and wouldn't it isn't best suited to that like because like you're saying
they all are so different i hope spider-man homecoming i have i have high hopes the kids
cute the kids are good cute playing spider-man i like the character spider-man i could like
like i see iron man in it and i'm already annoyed. Yeah, it's annoying. But you give me Marissa Tomei
and you got my money. There you go.
Marissa Tomei as Aunt May.
It's so sad.
But like, yeah, as like
old ass Aunt May, it's literally Marissa Tomei
coming in snatched like, what's going on at school?
Talk to me.
Seriously. I'm like, what? I want to know.
To go from Rosemary Harris to
Sally Field
To Marisa Tomei what a crazy
Next it's going to be Margot Robbie
Evolution poster
It's going to be Dakota Fanning's
Daughter
Yo can we talk about how Elle Fanning
Ate Dakota Fanning alive
Oh no
Rule number 101 of culture Elle Fanning ate Dakota Fanning alive? Oh no. Rule number 101 of culture.
Elle Fanning ate Dakota Fanning alive.
I think Dakota just doesn't want to work that much anymore.
Who doesn't want to work?
Dakota.
I think she's probably tapped out.
She wants to like.
I saw her on some talk show.
She was charming.
Yeah, I'm sure she's fine.
You sure it wasn't Elle?
I am sure it wasn't Elle, in fact.
So if you have to take one of them out of the burning building.
Who do you pick what a weird the the one i feel i can get most like safely yeah exactly the one i'm most certain
i could save okay they're both equally close to the door this is such a weird one with one arm
and one with the other little blonde girls i blonde girls. I kick them both down.
I run next door where Abigail Breslin is drowning, and I save her.
Oh, okay.
I was going to say Spencer Breslin, but sure.
Spencer Breslin.
No, I don't care for Abigail Breslin.
Do you know, I was watching this at the gym the other day.
I don't care for her.
Abigail Breslin is apparently in the Dirty Dancing remake.
Yeah, she's 48 now. But she's like
she does not look... I'm sorry.
Wait, as Baby? As Baby, but it's like
I don't... and this is no shade to Abigail.
This is your face right now. This is no shade to Abigail, but
this face is cracked.
Just physically
not right for the part. No!
Really not right for most things.
I think Abigail Breslin is a weird actor. Like a lovable weirdo i just i don't know anyone who acts or looks or like her
i don't know maybe maybe it's just that i'm a little uneasy with her i don't know she's not
even in type like you can't even like put her in a type um by the way you guys um totally i just
don't know where she fits since since our la apps I had this huge journey with signing up for Equinox Gym.
I am now at the same Equinox Gym as our hot producer, Joe.
We have not seen each other there yet, but it's Equinox Dumbo.
Catch us there.
I have some guest passes.
Who will I pick for my guest passes?
We'll find out.
It won't be me.
I don't.
I don't.
Chilled eucalyptus towels.
Sort of mediocre spin classes
But we'll talk about this
Joe enjoyed it
Kiehl's baby
Kiehl's in that shower honey
Kiehl's in that shower honey
Do you do Equinox?
So get this
Yes I did
Did a year at Equinox
Because School of Rock
Paid for it
Oh
There you go
I also had a trainer
Because I was
Covering Dewey, which involves crazy amounts of stamina.
So I had a trainer to help me get it.
How many times did you go on as Dewey?
Just twice.
Did you get to kiss Sierra?
Yes.
Oh, it was actually her.
God, it was her the last weekend oh that she was on oh that's nice
and you got to give her a big old smack yeah it was like her third last show was my second show
wait how was that how was that how was covering for dewey it was the most i still absolutely
cannot believe that it happened that's so cool um in a broad house. Yeah. I had to learn how to play guitar.
It was all a thing.
But, oh my God.
Because, like, I don't think of myself as, like, some singer or anything, you know?
But you have that fucking stage presence.
Well, thank you.
But, yeah, like, I had worked on it for months and months and months.
And it was starting to feel like,
oh,
well, I'm probably never going to go on this Dewey,
which is fine.
Like there's three other covers and well,
there's two other covers and they seem to have it.
And you've just been taking care of.
And,
uh,
then it happened.
The stage manager texted me and was like,
you're going on his Dewey on Sunday on a Thursday.
And I was like,
okay,
I can do this.
Wow. And, uh, yeah, sunday on a thursday and i was like okay i can do this wow and uh yeah it was like being shot out of a cannon ah how does that work to prepare as an understudy like do you rehearse
the material while the lead actor is rehearsing it like behind him or like what does it know
so well i worked on the workshop and we were covering for the workshop
but like the the script's evolving and the numbers are changing and the blocking is changing
so we weren't encouraged to watch rehearsals because it was all going to change anyway
so for the most part my work began once the dewey role was kind of locked.
Finalized, yeah.
And that's when basically we were opening.
Oh, wow.
So then that's when I started rehearsing with the resident director and started to do my Dewey stuff.
But I knew I was the last.
The last.
The last Dewey.
Yeah, exactly.
Michael Hartney in The Last Dewey. The Last Dewey. Yeah, exactly. Michael Hartney in The Last Dewey.
The Last Dewey.
My mom and aunt came to the first one that I did.
They bought a ticket for the second row.
The show starts presentationally.
It's Dewey's band playing a song.
So the curtain rises and I'm looking out in the house.
And there's your fucking mom and aunt.
I immediately see my mom and aunt Kathy
and they immediately
burst into tears
just
sobbing
it was
crazy
my mom had already seen the show but to see me as Dewey
was like crazy
and then two weeks later my brother and sister-in-law
came and that was
and my best friend came from Buffalo to see it.
And I had fixed everything that I royally fucked up the first time.
Oh, I'm sure it wasn't much.
Were there any big mess ups where you were like, oh, my God.
Yes.
There sure the fuck were.
Like drop lines?
No.
Paraphrase some lines, sure. But that actually doesn't bother me at all it was
musical stuff that i was like oh my god uh so his first number is called when i climbed to the top
of mount rock yes this really fucking hard ass crazy song that immediately depletes you of energy for the rest of the show and it's first uh thanks andrew um and uh i uh sang the
first verse and the first chorus began and i knew i was just a hair ahead oh and it was so terrifying
and i was like oh well this is it this is it. This is how I die.
When do I give up?
When do I give up?
And literally it was a line and a half long,
but to me felt like 30 years.
And then that like kind of, I don't know,
what kind of mental place that puts you in for the rest of the show,
but like, who knows?
So about a verse and a half later um there's this like
chore choreographed moment where i jump over a guitar case and i'm like putting up dukes yeah
and i throw myself to the floor and i have a very distinct memory of mid-air in the jumping over the
guitar case like putting up dukes going i i would like to stop doing this
i don't want to do i don't want to do this oh my god this being like the show yes like this
correct like i don't want to see this show through to the end oh yeah which of course i must and have
to contractually but i was like i don't want to do this and then it passed i mean
it very quickly passed of course i like relaxed into it and really started having the time of my
life i mean both shows were very special oh so then um then the first song with the kids called
you're in the band yeah i've never had a problem in any rehearsal singing this song ever.
And the adrenaline and the exertion,
there was a verse at the end where I couldn't get the last word of every line out for some reason.
So it's like the song goes,
And with me in control of the band as a whole,
we will rock and we'll roll with our heart and our soul.
And I said,
And with me in control, love the band as a whole.
We will rock and we'll roll with our heart and our soul.
Because then I started speaking it.
Because I was like, what is happening to my voice?
The kids were like,
The kids were like,
Ms. Finn, what's up? Ms. Finn, what's up?
Ms. Finn.
Ms. Finn, what's up?
It was crazy.
So the kids, are they kind of like, that's really cool.
You get to go on.
Or were they like, yeah, that's great.
Oh, my God.
They were the cutest, sweetest, most excited.
Everyone was so excited.
The whole building was very excited for me.
I mean, it really was like the most supportive, lovely, familial
group of people in the world.
Did you get to meet Miss Cosgrove?
Miranda. Oh, I did
actually, opening night. Oh, cool.
Yeah. She was very sweet.
Beautiful soul.
I don't know what Matt's
trying to get at. I don't know.
She was really, she was lovely.
She was really nice. We should have her on.
Let's bring on Miranda. We'll bring on Miranda.
I think Miranda Cosgrove killed it in that movie.
She's fierce. Oh, yeah.
You knew she was a star.
Memory, all alone in the moonlight.
Stop, stop, stop.
Good.
Wow, what? Thank you for that story.
Wow. That's huge.
I love that.
Just dropping the last word.
Just couldn't get them out.
Just could not get them out.
Couldn't do it.
Your body didn't let you.
My voice was just blown out for just those little syllables.
Which is crazy.
That's a tough one to think about.
But you know what?
I'm so glad that that was told.
But you made it through.
I made it through.
Yeah, you made it through, baby. Okay. Whenever I drop a line on stage, I'm always like that you made it through. I made it through. Yeah. You made it through baby.
Um,
okay.
Whenever I drop a line on stage,
I'm always like,
it's always over.
Yeah.
Right.
That's what I'm saying.
Like I,
that throws me off for the whole fucking thing.
That stuff doesn't bother me anymore,
which is like very lovely.
That is a blessing.
That was what Broadway taught you,
baby.
That's because there was just so many other things to fucking worry about.
Yeah.
That first show, I was like so worried about the guitar it was the first time i've ever been
remotely good at guitar ah well there you go like was great you nailed of course i mean
relatively no no i'm sure uh but yeah it was like weird things i wasn't expecting that i was
suddenly yeah laid by oh my god a dream. It is a dream.
What Broadway show would you want to be in?
Oh, that's so tough. You go first.
I don't really know.
I guess I would like to do King George.
Oh, and Hamilton.
And I would always love to do Book of Mormon, of course.
Yeah, my basic ass answer
was Book of Mormon.
Oh, I posted this. What if I was like, this guy should play answer was Book of Mormon. But, oh, I posted this.
What if I was like, this guy should play actually.
Shut up.
I'd like to play McDuff.
I did post this and I kind of hated myself for posting this,
but I was like, I want to be fucking Bobby and company.
Or not even Bobby.
No, I love that you posted that.
Yeah.
Good.
I want to be Bobby, baby.
You should be Bobby, baby, Bobby.
I want to belt my tits off to being alive.
Why not? You should doby baby you should do it i want to belt my tits off to why not you should do that you should do that well i'll save it for for the actual show we just got a new

and maybe that's my fucking fault for assuming it cheeseburger that's what i want to get i want to
i would rather say i'll have a cheeseburger on bread then i'll have a cheeseburger that's what I want to get I want to I would rather say I'll have a cheeseburger on bread
then I'll have a cheeseburger get the bread
and get the lettuce onion and tomato bitch
it's too much
I don't like tomato I might as well be
allergic to it I've tried
the little sun dried tomatoes little cherry
tomatoes maybe you not these
big ones not these big heirloom
ones and onion what the
hell you're well known for making people
cry lettuce you're crunchy you're stupid if i wanted the healthy option i wouldn't have ordered
a cheeseburger i would have had a salad bitch i don't need some of you lettuce on my burger
i don't need lettuce onion and tomato your extra and mayo don't even fucking think about it i want
ketchup and mustard on the side i I'll put it on as I please
liberally. Thanks.
Matt, just one
quick question. How old were you when you stopped
ordering buttered noodles at a restaurant?
I never ordered buttered noodles,
bitch. I've been a chicken fingers kid since I
was a terrible two.
Wow.
Buttermilk, bitch.
I feel like I spoke to a lot of people.
You spoke to a lot of people.
I'm sorry.
What was the line that you said?
I don't want some of you lettuce.
I don't want some of you lettuce.
I don't want some of you lettuce.
You're crunchy.
You're stupid.
You're crunchy.
You're stupid.
First of all, crunchy is great.
Crunchy is great.
That is not a pejorative thing.
Okay.
It's time for Bell and Yang's.
I don't think so, honey.
I think I have something.
We'll see.
You know what? I got to go in strong rule number whatever know
where you're going here we go this is my i don't
think so honey believe it was rule number 89
okay i could be wrong bow and
yangs i don't think so honey time starts now i
don't think so honey the super target that just opened up at
city point in brooklyn for having
the name super target but having a lackluster
produce section honey the
thing that distinguishes you from a super target from a regular target is the fucking produce section, honey.
You are not going to get away with having a pile of oranges in the middle of the fucking aisle and call yourself a super target and slap that qualifier on yourself, honey.
City Point, you're busted.
You're supposed to have a Katz's Deli and a Trader Joe's and a Super Target and an Alamo Draft House.
Right now, you only have a lackluster Super Target
and a fine, okay Alamo Draft House.
I've only seen one movie there.
I was very stoned, and it was Fantastic Beasts
and Where to Find Them with Matt,
and it was very fun.
But Super Target, you do not get to call yourself
a Super Target when you have one floor.
The Target Atlantic Terminal has two floors, bitch,
and it's spacious as hell, but it smells like ass.
So City Point Super Target,
at least get your smell down. If you fuck
that up, then there's no reason to go to you.
I don't think so, honey. Super Target, be the
real Super Target you were meant to be in this world.
That's one minute.
Wow. It's a Travis. That
Alamo Draft House is lovely. It's
lovely. I didn't totally
shit on it. I said it's fine.
No, I think that that was actually amazing.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
And it just came to me.
They shouldn't call themselves a super target.
They should have to earn that.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
All right.
This is it.
So Michael Hartney came in.
I think he told Matt that he had two options.
You have two options, and he's holding both of his options in his hand right now.
And so, Bowen, on the count of three, we're going to choose the same hand.
Hold on.
How do we know that he just doesn't have one picked out
and he's just going to say that?
I've set.
Okay, okay.
I will be honoring the choice.
You know what?
Bowen and I are going to disagree.
So Joe, you pick the hand.
Producer Joe, he picks the left hand.
All right, here we go.
Here we go.
This is Michael Hart and he's left hand.
I don't think so, honey.
Time starts now.
I don't think so, honey.
People who come for Moana, honey. I don't think so, honey. Time starts now. I don't think so, honey. People who come for Moana, honey.
That movie is a gag, honey.
I cried four times when I saw that movie, honey.
And then I was like, I saw it a second time and I was like, well, I'm not going to cry as much, honey.
I cried twice as much, honey.
What is wrong with simple, straightforward storytelling with fun ass songs?
I'm sorry.
Mr. Andrew Lloyd Webber says you only need a few motifs to hold an audience's attention.
30 seconds.
And I worked with that motherfucker.
So I should motherfucking know.
Moana is a Superman story.
She knows where she learns where she came from.
She defies her elders and she has from. She defies her elders. And she has agency.
Hotly.
She makes choices.
There is no love interest.
She doesn't care about no rock.
Also, the rock's body, that is a payee into ink and paint animation, honey.
Which you're not going to get in CGI other films, bitch.
I don't think so, honey.
That's one minute.
We just disagree, I guess.
I'll ask Sondheim's opinion.
Oh, wow.
Anyway.
Look, I could get into this, but I just won't.
The other one did not come for Matt Rogers at all.
I'm so glad you picked the one that came
for Matt Rogers. Bitch, that was
real. I didn't like it.
It bored my ass
to death and it also bored
Bowen to death. He just wasn't
brave enough to take to social
about it.
He just wasn't brave enough to take to social.
Sorry, I just heard the phrase take to social
and now I'm lighting myself on fire.
Listen, I was
you know what? I was a craven.
It was a craven of me to not post on social but
i will say that matt and i got our fucking lives during the how far i'll go reprise yeah it was
amazing it was an amazing moment oh burst into tears i thought there were great moments in that
movie i wish that the whole thing was exciting i wish that i i wish i wish i felt you want excited while i was watching it
you want to talk about a consistently excellent disney movie from the last five years i have said
it a million times wreck it wreck it ralph it's the best watch it but it's not a musical so i hate

out. Anyway,

Hartney so much for being on Las Culturistas.
