We're Emily and Kyle. We started as coworkers in late night television and now we're best friends exploring NYC and our FYPs.
SPEAKER_02This is an interview show about obsessions. Ours, theirs, and maybe yours too. Welcome to We're Obsessed With You. Hi, Emily.
SPEAKER_01Hi, Kyle.
SPEAKER_02Let's get into it because we have so much to talk about today. Welcome everyone to We're Obsessed With You. I'm Kyle O'Donnell.
SPEAKER_01I'm Emily Hines.
SPEAKER_02This is the show where we talk to the people we're obsessed with. About the things we're obsessed with.
SPEAKER_01We're obsessed with so much stuff.
SPEAKER_02I want to try a little taste test.
SPEAKER_01Okay, fun. You have a beautiful pink can.
SPEAKER_02A raspberry iced tea from Brooklyn Best. I think it's supposed to be like a brisk raspberry iced tea.
SPEAKER_01Or an Arizona iced tea.
SPEAKER_02Yes, but did they have raspberry?
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_02Oh, see, I'm a brisk.
SPEAKER_01I love that sound.
SPEAKER_02I'm a brisk raspberry iced tea person.
SPEAKER_01I always loved an Arizona iced tea because I love the big can.
SPEAKER_02Yes, the big can is great. Alrighty, let's try it. This is 100 calories, Brooklyn best. It says not too sweet. It's in your fancy like a soda thing. Yes. Cheers. Cheers. Let's see. I love it.
SPEAKER_01I absolutely adore it.
SPEAKER_02This is incredible. That's amazing. There's another can. You can take it off. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01It's amazing.
SPEAKER_02This is really coming with us to the beach. We just gotta say, not sponsored, but if we you want to be, I'm like chugging it. We're here.
SPEAKER_01Wow.
SPEAKER_02This is like the adult version of a brisk raspberry ice.
SPEAKER_01I assume it's healthier.
SPEAKER_02It's a hundred calories, but um sugars, 24 grams and a whole thing.
SPEAKER_01Whatever.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, definitely better than a brisk iced tea. Wow.
SPEAKER_01And an Arizona iced tea, I'm sure. I love it. I love the can.
SPEAKER_02It's not too sweet, which is what it says on the phone.
SPEAKER_01It literally, it literally says that.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01Wow. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. I love it. I love it.
SPEAKER_02Emily, you are in the final stages of your pregnancy.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Um, I'm in my third trimester, and I thought that I should start like just including everybody kind of like on this journey with you.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01Because I know we mentioned it and then we like haven't talked about it again. But if you're watching, you can definitely like tell um that something's changing with my body. So I went to the doctor. So I decided that I'm gonna give you kind of just like weekly updates of what's going on. Yes. And right now I just want to let you and everyone listening know that um my baby is in the 82nd percentile in size.
unknownOh my god.
SPEAKER_01I'm 5'2.
SPEAKER_02I was gonna say you are a petite loafer.
SPEAKER_01I'm not like, yeah. So they said not to worry. They would worry if it was 90 percentile, 90th percentile. But I'm gonna just say like 80 seconds, not too far off from 90.
SPEAKER_02No, and you still got a ways to go.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'm only at week 30, and like I think, is it 42 weeks?
SPEAKER_02I'm the absolute last person you should ask.
SPEAKER_01I mean, I should know this. You absolutely should absolutely should know this. But um, yeah, so that's where I am right now. So the baby is big. So that's the update I wanted to give everybody.
SPEAKER_04How are you feeling?
SPEAKER_01I'm feeling fine, actually. Great. We had to do some tests this week, and like there are certain positions you have to get into, and they're like, Are you lightheaded? So many women get lightheaded. Yeah, I'm not getting lightheaded.
SPEAKER_02This may be a personal question, but at this point, is your body is your body changing anymore? Or is it basically like status quo?
SPEAKER_01I don't know. I feel like I like popped faster. Like, I feel like my body changed faster, and now like the baby inside's catching up.
SPEAKER_02Not like that girl I saw the other day that I told you about. Oh, thank God. I'm gonna remove names, but I saw a woman the other day and I was convinced she was due at the same time as Emily. And she Which would be August. Yes. So I said, When are you due? And she starts to go, uh, and I start to think August. And she goes, October. And she was bigger than you, much bigger. And it's just like that's what's crazy.
SPEAKER_01Everybody's, I know. Everyone will catch up at some point. Yes. So she'll probably like slow down, I think. I don't know. Crazy. Yeah, let's see if her baby's in the 82nd percentile. So I'll keep you posted on size.
SPEAKER_02Yes, please.
SPEAKER_01Um, that's where we are.
SPEAKER_02But I got you something.
SPEAKER_01You were just in Maine.
SPEAKER_02I was just in Maine, and I got you something because you're gonna have a lot of free time on your hands soon. In Maine, there's so many of those public little free libraries that you see, like those little hut things. Yeah, there are a few in New York. Yes, and I always stop to look. There's one at um Books Are Magic. Oh, cute. Yes, right on the side. But I got you, you can always find the craziest books in Maine at these things. But there's also an Andy's bookstop. Do you know what that is? Andy's bookstop is like a used bookstore. Okay. It's the best. But I got you this.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02Murder She Wrote. Ah!
SPEAKER_01Give it to me! Okay, it's Murder She Wrote. Majoring in Murder.
SPEAKER_02It is a novelization. Or maybe it's not, maybe it's just an original story. Do you know this episode?
SPEAKER_01I don't know this episode. And I actually was looking at some of the titles earlier, and I don't recognize any of them. So this is Majoring in Murder. She's clearly on a college campus. She must be like guest lecturing or something. But it's written by Jessica Fletcher.
SPEAKER_02Who is the star of Murder She wrote?
SPEAKER_01It's Angela Lansbury. She plays Jessica Fletcher, and Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote is a writer of murders. And so this is just so freaking fun.
SPEAKER_02And I just have to tell you, Emily, that is just one of 64 books. And they are still being published today.
SPEAKER_01I want to know who's buying these.
SPEAKER_02In December, you will be able to get Murder She Wrote, A Killing in Real Estate.
SPEAKER_01This is fun. And we were kind of talking about this. You think that more people should be doing this. Yes. More characters.
SPEAKER_02I remember when Monk was a hit. I've seen every single episode of Monk that they had a novelization of some of his things as well. Like he was a character solving mysteries. And I think they should just do more of that.
SPEAKER_01You had a good idea for a pairing.
SPEAKER_02Yes. I think Kayla and I actually don't know his character's name. Paul W. Downs from Hacks should do mystery series.
SPEAKER_01And Jimmy?
SPEAKER_02Jimmy. Yes. Jimmy and Kayla should be agents that also solve murders on the side.
SPEAKER_01Such a good idea. I would read it. Please. But I'm too busy reading murder. This is gonna be my next book, so I'll keep you posted.
SPEAKER_02Great. I'm so glad.
SPEAKER_01I'm so excited. While teaching a creative writing course at School Woman College.
SPEAKER_02I can't wait. We gotta find all the books. We have to find every single murder she wrote.
SPEAKER_01The titles are really funny.
SPEAKER_02My obsession this week is a book. Oh so as I said, I was in Maine and I brought this galley that was sent to the office because I was like, oh, you know, I want to read this fun book. I read 312 pages in one day. I don't think I've ever done this.
SPEAKER_01Okay, we're moving from hockey, it looks like, to tennis.
SPEAKER_02To tennis. This is The Open Era, which is by Edward Schmidt.
SPEAKER_01That's a fun title.
SPEAKER_02Yes, it is a gay romance novel about the first openly gay man to compete in a Grand Slam tournament. It's this guy, Austin, who is kind of an underdog and he competes in the US Open against his paramour, Diego Cruz, who's the more experienced one.
SPEAKER_01He's he sounds cute.
SPEAKER_02Yes, he's very cute. He has all the endorsement deals, you know. And they it's not a spoiler, you find out in the first chapter, they ultimately have to compete against each other in the US Open. So, and he is like ranked in the top 10. Austin is not even the top 100, he just made the qualifying round. It is so good. It is such a good romance novel. There's not much sex in it, so it's not like the Rachel Reeves.
SPEAKER_01So it's more romance less smuddy.
SPEAKER_02Yes. Yeah. There are very hot scenes in it. But what I also really like about it is that the conflict is more like an inner conflict as opposed to like he can't come out of the closet. You know, like it's him dealing with I want to be in this relationship, but I also want to win the US Open. Like that's more of the conflict here, which is where I think a lot of gay romance novels are starting to go because like the I'm in the closet, I don't know, like first thing, it's kind of tired. Um, but this is the best gay rom com. And it's not really a com. It's a rom.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02It is the best gay rom I've read in a long time.
SPEAKER_01Wow.
SPEAKER_02It is so good. I love all the characters.
SPEAKER_01I love that.
SPEAKER_02There's so many that like the other guy, like the one being lusted after, is like an asshole and annoying. Not this. I love Austin, I love Diego, I love all the characters. There's also this trope in a gay rom-com about the like for lack of a better word, like the fruit fly, like the hag that like sticks around. And Charlotte is this version of the hag, and she is delightful. Like, she's not over the top. This is a gay rom-com written by a gay man. Yeah. That is so fabulous.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Edward Schmidt, it's his debut novel. Highly recommend. It is the perfect beach read.
SPEAKER_01Like, I was just can't wait to read it.
SPEAKER_02You can borrow this copy when I'm done. It's so good.
SPEAKER_01It's kind of, I don't want to go back to off campus, but there's something nice about it all being like nice character. Like it's just like this, a story is unfolding, but like there's no villain. It's just like, let's, how is this gonna play out?
SPEAKER_02Which is kind of to cut to our guest today. What uh was also part of what I loved about heated rivalry, like heated rivalry itself.
SPEAKER_01Exactly.
SPEAKER_02It was just a palatable people want that. Yes, yeah, yeah. So that's my obsession. The open era by Edward Schmidt. You can buy it on our Shop My on through Bookshop. Um, Emily, what are you obsessed with?
SPEAKER_01I am obsessed with today. It's more like an aspirational item that I think it's something like the woman I want to be would have.
SPEAKER_02That's fabulous.
SPEAKER_01I'm so just get ready. Um sorry. Yes.
SPEAKER_02That's the Amanda Francis world of money manifesting. You have to live the billionaire lifestyle before you're a billionaire because you have to make people believe that you're a billionaire.
SPEAKER_01Right. It's like that thing you said if you have the fake, it's only can you explain this?
SPEAKER_02Yes. I am not going to use my friend's name. I'm looking right in the camera. I'm not using your name, but you know who you are. Has recently acquired a fake designer bag. And it is gorgeous. It is so gorgeous. I'm one of the few people that know that it's a fake bag. And he said, and he's gonna make fun of me for saying this because when he said it to me, I was like, this makes what? What are you saying? He said, I make the bag real. I make the bag real. You believe the bag is real because I'm carrying it. Right.
SPEAKER_01Because I of course you have a real bag. Yes. I would never question it. Yes.
SPEAKER_02And I would never question that he had a fake bag. You see it on some random person.
SPEAKER_01There's someone you know it's a fake. Yes. You just know it.
SPEAKER_02Yes. I make the bag real. I make the bag real. Remember that, everyone.
SPEAKER_01So I think that that's what you have to say to yourself.
SPEAKER_02I make the bag real. I say that all the time.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I make this podcast a hit.
SPEAKER_01I make no, I make this podcast a hit. We make this podcast a hit. We make this podcast a hit.
SPEAKER_02And I actually do think it's a brilliant, like live Shriber kind of like mentality of manifesting. Like I'm drinking my own Kool-Aid. You should too.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I love it. So that kind of plays into this a little bit because it's kind of just like an insane item. It came across my radar when I was reading my favorite Substack, Feed Me, written by Emily Sundberg. It's a business Substack that kind of also set like tells of the goings-on in New York, LA, Miami, London. It's great. Probably it's actually an always obsession. But she wrote about a jewelry historian who had posted something about pill boxes. And she, so I went to this historian's page because she has a substack as well, Marianne Faisal. And she was writing about how she has come across women who have these beautiful pill boxes. And you can find some on the real reel that are like a Judith Lieber or a Sophie Baha'i. I didn't even know what that was. But some that are still in production that you can buy new, you don't even have to use, are from the one and only Tiffany.
SPEAKER_02Oh, I'm looking this up right now.
SPEAKER_01So I took some screenshots.
SPEAKER_02Okay, great.
SPEAKER_01The one that she posted about look, we'll put a picture up. It's um an Elsa Peretti who's known for her beans, the bone cuffs. She's an iconic jewelry maker. Look how adorable this bean pillbox is.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01And we also love miniature things.
SPEAKER_02It is maybe the size of a silver dollar.
SPEAKER_01Maybe. That is gorgeous. It's adorable.
SPEAKER_02That is gorgeous.
SPEAKER_01So I obviously went to Tiffany's. So they're still being sold to Tiffany's.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01No, Tiffany. So I went. There's two that are being sold. That one that I just showed you in gold. And then there's a thumbprint pillbox. I can't hide the price from you, so you're just gonna have to look at that. The gold one is $5,200.
SPEAKER_02The thumbprint pillbox is.
SPEAKER_01So then there's the thumbprint. Adorable. It's $200. It's silver.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_01I don't know if it's like comparing the price. Like seeing the $5,200 one, I'm like, that's insane. $200's no biggie. So now I'm like, I guess I have to have it's about little luxuries. Little luxuries.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm not carrying a ton of pills around. I think it's adorable.
SPEAKER_02I think that's adorable.
SPEAKER_01I also then decided, I was thinking about this. If I had all the money in the world, like just more money and could afford to buy the 5200 one, would I? I don't even know if I would. It seems like such an insane expense.
SPEAKER_02When we are rich, I am going to truly get off on buying people dumb luxury goods.
SPEAKER_01Like this.
SPEAKER_02Like this.
SPEAKER_01Oh, so you'll buy it for me.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_01Fine, fine, fine.
SPEAKER_02For like a big birthday. Like your 40th birthday. Like I think that is.
SPEAKER_01It's like 15 years away.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I think that is a great, dumb, rich person.
SPEAKER_01It's adorable.
SPEAKER_02Yes. Another thing that my friend taught me, I make the bag real. That we're Henry's.
SPEAKER_01What does that mean?
SPEAKER_02High earner, not rich yet.
SPEAKER_01Okay. He's uh this person's amazing.
SPEAKER_02Chalk full of them. You know. Wow, we're Henry's. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Totally.
SPEAKER_02So good. Incredible.
SPEAKER_01So yeah, I'm obsessed. And I think I'm gonna have to get the little baby pillbox for the time being.
SPEAKER_02Shout out to your baby registry.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it's such a good idea.
SPEAKER_02We want to remind everyone that we are on YouTube, in addition to your YouTube or your podcast app, so you can follow us. I'm wearing shorts today so you can see my games. Emily's wearing a gorgeous dress.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's okay.
SPEAKER_02Um, please rate us five stars on your podcast app of choice. Subscribe to our YouTube and check out our ShopMai for anything that we've talked about.
SPEAKER_01I will be putting the $5,200 pillbox up there. I can't wait to see who buys it.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. I'm sure Tiffany is on Shop My with 8% back. Um also Facebook. Yes, that's right. Thank you, Emily. We are now on Facebook. We're obsessed with you on Facebook. We're gonna start putting content on there, like newly packaged original content, which is so exciting. It's a great time to be a Wowie fan.
SPEAKER_01I go onto Facebook because I go to Facebook Marketplace. Yes. And then I do end up scrolling and looking at like people from high school who've never gotten other accounts. Like they only still just have Facebook, which I think is insane. But so when you do that, you can check what the high schoolers are doing and then like check what we're up to.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. Yeah, it's a fun, it's gonna be a fun time over there. Let's tease our guests.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02Dylan Markerell.
SPEAKER_01Love.
SPEAKER_02Adore him. He is a composer and writer who I got to meet through Watch It Happens Live. He has written our opening numbers for the Bravos at Bravo.
SPEAKER_01He's so talented.
SPEAKER_02But his most recent success is the Heated Rivalry musical parody that is out right now. Just opened up to when I tell you, rave reviews. Sexy as hell, impossible to resist, hitting the high notes. That's insane.
SPEAKER_01I know.
SPEAKER_02Who gets those kind of reviews now?
SPEAKER_01Nobody. Nobody. No.
SPEAKER_02Um Dylan is just, he's a great friend of mine. He is a great guy. We're gonna get into some heated rivalry chat and we're also gonna talk some musical theater. We're gonna have a fun time.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I can't wait for everyone to hear.
SPEAKER_02We'll be right back. Dylan Marquarell, we're obsessed with you. Obsessive. Well, I love you. Thank you. Um, so I first knew of you when I went to go see the Rony parody musical you wrote, starring my high school friend Olivia. That's crazy, which is insane.
SPEAKER_01I didn't know that. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_02Halfway through, I leaned over to my friends. I was like, I think I went to high school. Oh Carl. Isn't that crazy? Anyway, she's the best. Um, but then we really um bonded when we were in the trenches of BravoCon in Vegas and the recording studio at Hammerstein ballroom, which we can talk about. But um, and so you wrote the opening numbers for the Bravos and the holiday spectacular that we produced.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And now I'm obsessed with you. I will never forget it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that was that was truly the honor of a lifetime.
SPEAKER_02It was. Um, and then recently you just opened up Heated Rivalry, the parody musical. I did, yeah. People are freaking out. People are nice. So we want to talk about that first. Yeah. Yes. What is your personal relationship with Heated Rivalry?
SPEAKER_03So around December, uh, my friend Tess Davison uh texted me saying you need to watch this gay show. And I just like I was really busy with other stuff. So I was like praying that I wouldn't like it. And of course, because I knew if I liked it, I would want to do something with it. Um, you know, it's hard out here for like emerging writers, and I have all this like non-IP stuff that no one cares about. If you can kind of like get on a global phenomenon, like especially one that you like feel an act of like adoration for. So anyway, about 15 minutes to the first episode, I was like, I love this. And so, and I just kept on loving it. And I was like, I I took out a notepad because I was like, I'm only gonna watch this once because otherwise it you get too deep in it, and it's like you need the audience, you need to be on some level of the audience members who haven't watched it six times. There are some that haven't watched it six times. Um and um, yeah, and I just I kept taking notes and I just was so tickled by it, and I thought it was so great. So um you I assume you guys have both seen the TV show. Yeah, yeah. No, it's also so hard, especially like as a reality TV fan. Our dockets are pretty full. Yeah, so we are busy. We're busy. We're you know, so to make time for for scripted programming is like is no small task, but um, but it was really important. Crave original. Like crave original. That was tough. Yeah, but but that's also why it was so good, right? It's because they didn't have these stupid like Hollywood like demands or whatever. Absolutely. It was so broken.
SPEAKER_01I feel like also it becomes a show that you have to like defend, like you really have to when you're trying to get someone to watch. Where it's good. Yeah, but I just make it through the first two episodes. Yeah, episode five, like, should be Emmy nominated, like even though I can't, it's not eligible. Like the way that people start to like defend this show and get people to get on board.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so crazy. At what point when you were watching did you think I should make this into a musical?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it was uh it was on my mind before I even started watching it that that would be uh it would be a wonderful thing if I like responded positively to it. And so as soon as I started loving it, uh, which yeah, it was pretty much immediately, I think it was like the gym scene where I was like, But that's like five minutes.
SPEAKER_01I don't know. It's but it's like it's iconic.
SPEAKER_03It's like, I don't know, they don't make stuff that's iconic anymore. It's like it's so specific and it's so like rich and it's a little bit funny and it's like a little surprising. It's like, wait, why did he do that? It's there's so much to chew on and play with. It's like it's it's risk taking. It's slow. It's like, it's just so it there's so many big swings that it does that I was like endlessly inspired. And and when you guys see the show, you'll see like, oh, he, you know, he took that, he took that, he took that, and then he went in very different directions for other things.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's good to say because your the show also is about the cultural phenomenon of it, yeah, which I think is just a brilliant concept. Yes, I can't, I cannot wait to see.
SPEAKER_03No, I don't want to spoil too much, but it was like, how do I get into this? And it's also just like nothing ever gets produced now by emerging writers that has a cast bigger than like one, you know. So it's so you want to keep cast small. So I was like, I want to try to tell this with five people, and then it becomes really helpful to have some kind of narrator. Yeah, narrators are like a hard thing for writers because they often wind up being a crutch and they wind up leading to bad writing and not active writing. But I was thinking, what is my way into this that like people won't quite expect? And I was just like, I was thinking about the big picture and how the show has just taken off for these, like this particular demographic of like middle-aged women. Like, you know, so or young women. Well, yeah, yeah, exactly. No, and it it I truly believe it's for everybody, but um, but I was just I I was so tickled by that. And I so anyway, this this character of Susan um was created, this Minnesotan wine mom um who uh is in an unhappy marriage, and like I just like I just love her so much, and I um I identify with her and they're like Susan inside of mom. And then the audience sort of becomes a Susan.
SPEAKER_02I'll I don't want to spoil too much, but um I want I want um a heated rivalry jersey that says Susan on the back. Yes, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Well they just released the my one good merch idea that when they asked you have any, and I was like, um, you know those ampersand, it's so it says Susan and Susan and Susan because they're like the fates in the show.
SPEAKER_01Anyway, you'll see what is the process when you're watching, so you take out your notepad five minutes in, what type of notes are you? Taking, are you thinking about the parody or are you thinking about the show and then you're gonna go back?
SPEAKER_03It's sort of both. It's so I just have like an endless Google Docs that now take forever to load because they're like hundreds and hundreds of pages. But um, are you guys Google Docs Queens?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'm becoming one because of the show.
SPEAKER_03It's just yeah, it's really it's really cool. I walk it out live where I Google Drive. Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, late night with Seth Myers, we print everything out.
SPEAKER_03Oh, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_01And we just write notes on paper.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03No, so I'm I'm on my Google Docs um and I'm writing down anything that I'm like, I want to remember this because this is cool, or this is really sweet, or this is kind of funny, or like, why'd they do that? Like anything that strikes me, because then what's nice is that's the only thing that I refer to after. Right. You're not going back. I'm not going back because it also is helpful to have sort of like uh a little bit of a Mandela effect where I can like kind of misremember things in a way that helps make it, not just like plagiarizing them. Right, right, right. It's your own interpretation. Yeah, it's my own interpretation. I then become kind of inextricably like like connected to the characters in a way that like like this Shane Hollander is much more like me in the musical than than uh Hudson Williams. Um, though there of course is like a resemblance, but um no, I I then and then I I move on. My face too is basically making lists of everything I can think of that is related to the subject matter. So um I I try to not do any research uh because I think the best thing about comedy, I don't know if you've seen Cola Skull's interview where they talk about how little research they do for O'Mary, but it's just that's that's part of the joy. And also when you're trying to write quickly and in a fun, unguarded way, like like it's just just yes, yes, yes. We don't want to like get bogged down for um so I'm I'm making a list of everything I know about Russia. Anything I know about Russia, anything I know about Canada. No, exactly. Anything I know about hockey is a good thing. I was gonna say three things. Exactly. So so anyway, the I'm just making so many lists, lists, lists, lists, lists.
SPEAKER_01Um hockey, like, could one thing be like puck?
SPEAKER_03Literally, yes, yeah. But it's also, you know, once you watch the like the show, it's like okay, hat trick, that means something. I don't know what, but that's gonna be in the show.
SPEAKER_02So I think parody does work when there's a little bit of removal from it, you know. Like I've seen some productions in New York of different parodies, and sometimes they're two in the source material. Yeah, totally. Where it's like that joke only works if you've seen that movie one million years. Totally.
SPEAKER_03No, we don't want that. I have I love the compliment of I haven't seen the show and I loved the uh the musical, and now I want to watch the show. So that's like my dream scenario, and I think also is why like we've gotten a positive response from like HBO and Jacob Tierney and Rachel Reed is because I I do think it all is just spreading the love of the show.
SPEAKER_02But how do you go about balancing uh parody with respecting the source material?
SPEAKER_03Oh, it's all the same. It's like for me, my style of parody at least is very like probably to a fault, like emotion-led. So I'm I in the rehearsal room, I am called like sort of the fun sucker because I'm like, hey, can we like not make a joke out of this? Like serious, it's like the words are like that shit crazy, like the text is insane, and I am making them say the most filthy, like whatever thing, but I want it so truthful and so innocent, and that to me is what makes it funny and special. And why you know we get people who are like sobbing at the end, and it's like that's what I want. I want that emotional journey that the show brought me, you know. So yeah, yeah, I really think you guys will like it when you see it, but um, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So the heated rivalry parody, it's not your first parody. You've done a roanie parody. Yes, you've would you call Pop Off Michelangelo a parody?
SPEAKER_03You know, ideally, no, unfortunately, it is. Yeah, it's it was my attempt at doing something that requires no advanced knowledge of a TV show or a movie. However, every review was like, this hilarious Renaissance parody is but anyway, yeah, it's a historical parody.
SPEAKER_02Is your process mostly the same for all of them?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to like keep challenging myself and like the the the thing that I'm writing now, I'm trying to really say no anachronisms, no pop culture references. It's like it's a crutch that I have for sure. But um, yeah, with with Pop Off was a little bit more uh personal. Um it's sort of uh I was really inspired by um a museum tour guide that um my husband Mike and I uh saw uh when we were in Italy on our honeymoon, um, and just learning about Michelangelo's life, and it was like really sad. Like he yeah, he like he was closeted and probably never had sex in his life and died really old, and like he was just such a I was fascinated by it by the idea of him being kind of like a pick me girl, which sort of is a name of the show. Um whereas uh one of his rivals, Leonardo da Vinci, um was also gay, but was extremely free-spirited and like had sex with anybody, and then like there's this crazy thing that like, I mean, not to spoil too much, I don't know if the show will ever come to New York. I hope it will, but uh it won't be for a while. But um uh Leonardo ends up getting in this like uh orgy, um, and he is uh on trial for it, but it gets thrown out because the Medici, uh Medici, which is like the ruling class at the time, um, was also in the orgy. So it's this amazing also story of like nepotism and like anyway. So I was just so inspired by all that. So it became this like big musical that um, yeah, hopefully one day comes to uh New York.
SPEAKER_01That'd be I feel like I should have learned more about that in my art history class. Like then I would have been like straight A's like tell me more about that.
SPEAKER_02They don't want to make it fun or gay or like no that's why they're all those like history podcasts that are like history they don't teach you in the school, and you're totally so much closer. Yes.
SPEAKER_03What was your entryway into musical theater?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03The first Broadway musical I saw was in college, uh uh my sophomore year. Um I I was actually writing a musical uh and we came to New York for a couple performances, and I saw Book of Mormon, and it was just like all my own business. Yeah. Yeah. So, but I guess to answer your question, I I was mostly self-taught on piano um as a as a high schooler. Um and I just loved it. And I I I played trombone and and some other instruments. Um I had like it was such a small, bad public high school.
SPEAKER_01Sorry, I'm like you don't have to name drop it.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_03It it was but it was really good for me because I felt like uh yeah, it if everybody wasn't in band, there wasn't a band that year. Like it was that kind of like um, you know, uh, and so I was I felt like I kind of could be a big fish. Um and so first week of school of of college, there was this like uh application to um compose the freshman musical, uh, which is a musical written, you know, by and directed by and starring all first year students. Um I got it. Um it was my first time like writing anything. Um, and I just had the absolute best time. And yeah, so I I never stopped.
SPEAKER_01And you knew you never wanted to be in front of on stage.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I don't have the chops for that. I was I was in one musical uh in high school and it was footloose and I played Ren, and there is recording somewhere, but I don't have listeners.
SPEAKER_02Let's find it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, dig it up.
SPEAKER_02You did have your time on the stage in Las Vegas when I was Stacy Rush.
SPEAKER_03You were I don't remember.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, we we were great stand-ins. Drew? No. Possibly, I don't know. It was such a blur. Dylan writes all the music for Watch It Happens Live when we go take the show on the road. So the bravos, he's done the opening numbers, and they have to do camera blocking, and we were the only people available to like do stand-ins. So we just stood in the wings and pretended to be who the hell were you? I can't remember.
SPEAKER_03There were so many housewives in those numbers that I actually remember. Okay, I was directing. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yes. Um, and you're fabulous at it. Likewise, yeah. How was it working with the Watch What Happens Live to you?
SPEAKER_03It was it was such a pinch me thing. Like because you're a big reality TV show fan. I'm a huge reality TV show fan. It was like also the I had only ever written music, like I was the composer only, no book, no lyrics, um, until the pandemic. And the pandemic, I was like furloughed from my job and I was watching a lot of reality TV. Yeah. And so I was like, I just want to try this. So I started posting these songs um about the Real Housewives, and I was like writing that, and I think I really like sort of found my calling there as far as like the style and like the very sincere, insane like um kind of writing. Um and so and that I, you know, had kind of a following that grew and grew. And then we did the live show, which went really well, but at a certain point, I was like, I'm a little bit needing like I I drew a line for myself where I was like, unless Bravo calls, I am I'm done with this, I think. I just it's time for me to like move on to other stuff. And then and then you guys have watched What Happens called and it was just like the most amazing thing ever. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So how do you for those everyone go check out the YouTube of Andy doing the bravos? Andy is so good at it. Yeah, but it's really the text that is so brilliant. You have the deepest cut references in those.
SPEAKER_03How do you go about that? It's it's the same thing as he did rubber. It's just I make lists and lists and lists. Wait, you're not going back. Not trying not to go back. Um, it's like, yeah, I used to be better about it. Um, and I'm sure you guys have have dealt with this kind of thing when you're preparing for an interview or whatever it is. But um and it it doesn't take the joy out of it, but it is like it doubles the viewing time to like make sure you're taking notes on the episode. Totally. So I was doing that when I so like when I was uploading those songs to Instagram, uh, I was really uh diligent because I needed to be able to refer to episode two of the season if I like didn't have enough that happened in episode 11. Like, so it's I just have all of these lists. Um, and um, yeah, and then some are bound to rhyme if eventually. Yeah. And so that's kind of it really is uh like trying to find funny takes, trying to find things that are um either a a little absurd or delusional, or um or I guess in the other way, like, why is no one listening to this person who's being like super reasonable? Like whatever, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Is there a Bravo liberty out in the whole universe of Bravo that you think could be a solo parody show?
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, just all about yeah, all about one, not a city and just one or is there a standout to you that's always like skips me every time?
SPEAKER_03Because there's so many good ones.
SPEAKER_01I know.
SPEAKER_03It's you know what's funny is a lot of the fixtures that have like really lasted a long time. I'm thinking of like the Kyle Richards, they're the more centered ones that are maybe less ripe for parody. Yes. Gosh, oh my god. I because I'm also so drawn to like the more niche, the like like I'm like a scala. I think that she is the like the like she should have a parody muscle on behind her. Whoa. You can't even think about that.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god. You want good thought. You want Barbara K. Yes, exactly. Yes, yes, yes, exactly. What's her name? Elise Alias. Rony long black hair, those the friend of the thing. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04I forgot. You watch this space, Elise the musical.
SPEAKER_02Or her and Barbara Kay together as a hander. Yeah. Absolutely. I think we're on something. We'll be right back, but could you tease us with one word for your obsession? Yes. Sophisticated.
SPEAKER_04Maybe must be talking about us.
SPEAKER_02We'll be right back. We are back. You teased us with the word sophisticated. Sophisticated. What are you obsessed with?
SPEAKER_01Go on.
SPEAKER_03I am obsessed with the Target brand, Good and Gather. Mild cheddar cheese cubes.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Go on.
SPEAKER_01Please go on. I love cheese.
SPEAKER_02I'm a Target Nat. Yes. I don't know. We're supposed to not you go to Target. Wait, I know. Yeah, because I'm like, what's worse?
SPEAKER_01Target? Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03Okay. We'll only get this one thing, and it's mild cheddar cheese cubes. I don't know what you guys' relationship was with snacking. I love it. So here's my thing. If I have dessert like junk, junk, junk food, that's gonna be what I'm going to. Yeah. The mild cheddar cheese cubes, if you have them, they're just like they're not so I don't know how your bodies do with dairy. I'm like poorly. Oh, okay. Yes. I'm a dairy king. Like I love dairy. Like, and so just having those, I sometimes have them with peanuts, I sometimes have them with fruit, and there's just they they can always be there. They're so easy to, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh no, keep going. I just I'm prepping my next question.
SPEAKER_03I was just gonna say, like, sometimes, like, if you have a block of cheese, which I realize is the more sophisticated whatever, you have to cut it and it's like hard to cut, and it's like then you have a dirty knife, and then you like it's this whole process to put it in a tupperware. It's like it's this whole thing. Yeah, it's a resealable pouch for the Target brand mild cheddar cheesecake.
SPEAKER_01So this is funny because I was gonna say, I would probably I love to cut everything.
SPEAKER_03Oh, you like having some control?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I would take that square cube and I would probably cut that.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god. It's a little big. We're just gonna make it a little bit. Like no, they're not they're more for a whole, yeah. It's hard to combine with in the same bite. And you can find it in the I have another question. You can find it in the refrigerator. Yeah, the refrigerator, exactly.
SPEAKER_01Okay, when you're eating the cheese cube and you want to pair it with an apple or a chip.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, sure.
SPEAKER_01Will you plop it in, keep it in, then take a bite of the chip and start chewing it, or do you chew the chip?
SPEAKER_03I think I really clear the station before the next passenger. Yeah. Oh, it's a good one. I think I do.
SPEAKER_01But I think I might hold for a minute. Sure, sure, sure.
SPEAKER_03No, I was just watching Ratatouille, and that's a major part of it. Like, it's about combining this flavor and this flavor. I guess I'm not at that level yet, but eventually, I'm sure. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Do you think you'd ever take it up a notch? And I mean, this, I think, I think you would eat it. My heart's racing.
SPEAKER_03I was gonna say, I've never seen Emily this excited.
SPEAKER_01I've been really into string cheese. Oh my god. Recently.
SPEAKER_03Amazing. It's such a good snack. Like, yeah, um, I've done a couple like writing residencies where you have to like buy groceries once for the whole like two weeks or whatever. String cheese is the perfect, perfect thing to have. I'm I'm sorry that this is like not so much for you. Yeah, it's not hitting. It's but I love talking about snacking. I also, you're gonna hate this. I just no like Bugs Bunny, yeah. So you don't feel that sinful. But you know why? It doesn't last as long as I think it's because I'm such it doesn't last as long. But I'm also I have a terrible, like, I'm I'm like trying to get bigger and it's like not really like do you guys know like go mat? I don't do that anymore, but like a gallon of milk a day. I like used to be obsessed with. Oh, like a still in go mat.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, that hurts turning my tummy. No, I know, I know. For some reason I'm fine.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, also just like I don't know your situation, but um half an emodium just every day is fine. You can do it and it's not a ball.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_02I just I have esophageal issues right now because I took a pill and did not You took a pill in a bees. I took a pill in a gunquet main and it did not go all the way down. And so now my esophagus is eroding.
SPEAKER_01Oh no.
SPEAKER_02I know.
SPEAKER_01So he can only have liquids, so maybe.
SPEAKER_02Um so I won't be having cheese.
SPEAKER_01Like melted cheese.
SPEAKER_02Oh, not so cheese. What brought you to these this cheese?
SPEAKER_01Yes, you were in Target, and why Target? Target because I like what you tried out with.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_03Um I that is changing with you to drive away. Thank you, producers. Um but um no, I think it's just it was this realization that I was like chowing down on junk food, like particularly after a gummy in the evening, you know, watching reality TV with my husband. It's just like it was bad, and I was like, Yeah, I think I need to do um harm reduction. Like, what is it? Like, we're not cutting it out, but we're doing a snack that's like food at least. Even though it's like maybe it's not that healthy, but there's protein, you know, probably that in a good way. Yeah, in a good way. Um, then I got my peanuts, and I got, you know, sometimes I'll have some carrots, like, you know, so what else is on your bulking food journey?
SPEAKER_02Well, no, it's I'm still I'm still reeling over go mad.
SPEAKER_01So have you tried other cheese cubes?
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_01One and done. I really like to cheese.
SPEAKER_03I found what I liked. No, I should, I should play with some other, maybe some sharper cheddars. Maybe I'm ready for that.
SPEAKER_01Is it a yellow cheese?
SPEAKER_03It's a yellow cheese.
SPEAKER_01Love.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. I just encourage everybody to look. It's a big section in Target, you know, so that you might find a different cheese that works for you.
SPEAKER_01But um when you are eating it, will you like? I know you said it's a resealable.
SPEAKER_03Stupa. Come on.
SPEAKER_01I don't think you can call our guests stupid.
SPEAKER_03I think I think you can find the cheese that works for you. I literally am blacked out and I don't know what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01Well, Kyle and I always talk about our favorite snack after school was nachos. Oh, yeah. Oh yes. Like, but not nachos with anything. It was just like Tostitos.
SPEAKER_03Okay, and shredded cheese and the microwave. And the microwave cool kid snack. I would have sauce. Oh, okay. Oh, I wouldn't. Because of Bugaboo Creek. I remember Bugaboo Creek. Also sorry, I know this is like hearkening back to old stuff, but please the way I reacted when I found out about take a chance, make it I'm from Hartford. Oh my god. I like royalty, right? Yes. Like I one of the songs that I wrote in college, like I uh do you know the hasty pudding? It's like the uh so that was that was after the freshman musical I wrote for the hasty pudding, and um, and you have to they have this whole process for like making sure all the shows are the same year to year, even though they're different writers, but you have to put a like a reference song um and the finale number that was the reference song that I put. So I'll have to send it to you. Yeah, anyway. I have to show my uncle.
SPEAKER_01Also, I have to shout out John Pizzarelli. My mom was so mad she's like, You didn't say his name once. We just talked about it.
SPEAKER_03He's my hero. Yeah, he's my hero. Anyway, yeah, so good. It's so good.
SPEAKER_02There has never been anything like that level. And what's crazy is when Emily said it to me, I knew every single word for the horse.
SPEAKER_03It comes right back to you.
SPEAKER_02I remember the sacks of da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Meet me at Foxwoods. Foxwoods. It's I also didn't know until you guys said it. And of course, it's obvious now with Foxwoods that everybody in the universe didn't know that. So I guess so it's a northeast thing.
SPEAKER_01But if you lived in the Northeast, if you didn't know it, you were living under.
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna manifest something on this podcast.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_02You're gonna get John.
SPEAKER_01Look right at camera one.
SPEAKER_02We're obsessed with you at Foxwoods. They must have a theater.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02We could sell it. Oh, so we'll sell it out.
SPEAKER_01Well, there'll have to be a special guest, John Fizzarelli. You could do it live. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02He could sing the song live.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god. I haven't talked to him about this yet, but Oh, I've heard I have.
SPEAKER_02I've spoken to his team. Yeah, yeah. Can you imagine? It would, I would go to that. Oh, wow.
SPEAKER_01We'll provide uh bus transportation. Good, good. Yes.
SPEAKER_02Um before the Fox was.
SPEAKER_01We were talking about nacho cheese. Nachos. What was your after school snack?
SPEAKER_03Oh gosh.
SPEAKER_01I mean you left her bad public high school.
SPEAKER_03I don't think we really had one so much waiting for us. Uh it might be.
SPEAKER_01But we would make them.
SPEAKER_03Oh, you made them. Yeah, we made them.
SPEAKER_01My mom was like in another, my sister and I were like Oh no, I was a latchkey kid.
SPEAKER_02Like the bus dropped me off and I just went into the house. No one was there.
SPEAKER_03I like, you know what it is? I this is gonna be like a complaining, but also a brag. It's like my mom, we had no like no processed food.
SPEAKER_0280% of the show.
SPEAKER_03We had like we didn't really have processed food growing up so much, got it. But my mom baked a lot. So like she would get up early and like make cookies and stuff. The only reason I just had a reaction is I think cookies would more be like an after supper kind of thing. Yeah. Dessert. You know, yeah, yeah. See, that's my problem.
SPEAKER_01Right, yes, I see where it's like.
SPEAKER_03Like, why is no one making me cookies?
SPEAKER_02Like, my husband's like, what? My favorite um target snack is the peanut butter monster trail mix.
SPEAKER_03Oh my I've had it.
SPEAKER_02It's so good. So it's you know what?
SPEAKER_03There's some that's what I was gonna say. Is that I'm like, this is the perfect balance of like good food and taste good.
SPEAKER_02And I'm looking at the nutrition, there's nothing mini resource, these like peanut butter nougat ball things, which are so good. Chocolate, yes, and maybe some peanuts.
SPEAKER_01I can't get trail mix. I go to Trader Joe's for trail mix and I have to get individually wrapped. Yes, because otherwise I I mean I I I don't know when to stop. That's what I'm saying. So I need to do something like that.
SPEAKER_02That's like quality. Yeah, yeah. I cannot stop. Like my self-discovery is that I cannot allow food in my apartment because I will go crazy in the barrel.
SPEAKER_03Well, something that I've really been enjoying is um also a snack, Trader Joe's uh uh chocolate-covered espresso beans. And what's great about those is that they're delicious, lovely snack. I don't know if you guys do chocolate-covered espresso beans, but you cannot like you won't theoretically eat too many of them because you'll be that wouldn't be good for you'd be like, I would be poisoning myself. I would be like jittery, I would be like so.
SPEAKER_02I think it had three large ice coffees, and it is not even one tier. So maybe, yeah, yeah. This is again my issue of like not knowing self-control. Sure, sure, sure. We're working on it. Yeah, we're working on it, yeah. We're running out of time, but we just want to do a lightning round to get your takes on some more topics. I'm nervous that I won't know about them, but I'm just gonna.
SPEAKER_01No, we kept them pretty crisp. No, yeah, don't worry.
SPEAKER_02Tell us if you're obsessed or over it.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_02Three, two, one.
SPEAKER_01Okay, hot coffee in the summer.
SPEAKER_02Uh over it. Stunt casting. Uh over it.
SPEAKER_01Smut.
SPEAKER_02Obsessed. Pageants.
SPEAKER_01Obsessed. Plain bagels.
SPEAKER_02Um, over it. Performers not doing eight shows a week.

SPEAKER_02Obsessed, yeah. White socks. Obsessed.
SPEAKER_01Oh, oh, let me.
SPEAKER_02Do we have.
SPEAKER_01Oh yay!
SPEAKER_02We heard that you liked white socks. I do like white socks, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Wait, that's so funny that that made it to your ears. Yeah. Well, because one of the things that I was obsessed with that I was thinking about was just um just realizing as a 31-year-old that like if I have like socks with holes in them, I can replace them with new socks. And Target makes a great white sock.
SPEAKER_01Well, sometimes I get worried the white sock's too thick. That's a nice one.
SPEAKER_03That's a nice This is Target. My current person is pretty thick. But it's it's a reaction to the overly thin whole and do stuff. It's hard.
SPEAKER_01You need like a happy mixture. Exactly.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Or the final question. We're not done. Oh, wait, would you have something to say?
SPEAKER_03No, no, no. I really enjoyed that. I I have so many like stunt casting. I just wanted to say um again, similarly, like I I celebrate anything that gets people in the theater. And I also just think like we have so much talent in the community that I don't want to stray too far.
SPEAKER_02What would you stunt cast us in?
SPEAKER_03Either together or separately.
SPEAKER_01No, we're a package.
SPEAKER_03I'm trying to do that. Actually, I know this is such a like like boring thing, but like this would be a great Abe Lincoln and Mary. Like I dreamed.
SPEAKER_01I'm giving Mary. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03You're a bit more, you're a bit more manic than I am. I just see it. I think it could be really good. Yeah. I love those. It might be in like 2050, but it's hard. That's fine.
SPEAKER_01I'm young and I'll still be young then.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. She can still crawl over the table.
