It just took nine episodes of warm-up. We started what? Episode, it was still cold outside. We started back in like what? February? Uh January. January, I think. And all it took was um Episode 10. Five, six months for you to finally warm up and be enthusiastic on the podcast. Double digits. Look at you go. You're just rocking away on the on your rocking chair. I'm so excited. You are. I'm excited too for episode 10. Casless made it out of the group chat. The Casless made it beyond out of the group chat. Ten episodes. Welcome back, everyone. We're so glad you're here. If you're new with us this week, we have an exciting episode. We have our Well, if you're new with us, this is the official podcast of the Arts Center of Cannon County. Yes, it is. Um find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube. Or where you're listening right now. Where you're listening right now on the Arts Center of Cannon County website, all the places. Um we've got an exciting episode for you. Um Tell the people. What should they get excited about? We interview Jocelyn French um coming up uh later in the episode. She's playing Dorley in two five. Yep, yep, yep. The character inspired by Dolly Parton. It's coming up in a couple weeks. 9-5 opens June 12th. June 12th. Yep. Very soon. Very soon. Do you have your tickets? I don't have my tickets yet. Dang, Patrick. Bad, bad, bad. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. I've been too busy dangling from the grid, hanging up the false proscenium decorations. Oh, but you're hanging up the decorations for 9 to 5. How's it looking out there? Pretty good. It's very colorful this show. Yeah, the the set design is very colorful. Um, I think proscenium can be our theater word of the day. Oh. Is this a new bit? We're doing theater word of the day. I just remember that last episode, I think it was, we talked about strike. We did talk about strike. And that was like our theater word of the day. So I think struck the hobbit. Yeah. So I think we'll make theater word of the day this week proscenium. We'll tell the folks what is a proscenium, Patrick. The proscenium of a stage is the archway kind of Well, what is a proscenium stage and then the proscenium arch. So a proscenium stage is not a stage that we have at the Art Center of Cannon County where we have a thrust stage. Um a proscenium stage is probably what most people think of when they think of a theatrical space. It is a very stereotypical audience uh all facing one direction, looking at um a stage and it's set up sort of like a movie theater. Yeah. Um and then the proscenium arch is where I guess, you know it's the archway. Yeah, if it were a movie theater, you know, this theater that you're at, it's the archway around the screen. Now there's no screen there because it's uh theatrical stage. I'm pulling up the the actual definition so I can give you like a thank goodness you went to school for this. Well, I mean, sorry I don't have all the vocabulary definitions memorized. I wanna From the major you graduated with? Yeah, I I don't. Oh, oh forgive, forgive, forgive, uh we forgive you, I guess. Yep. I know what a proscenium arch is, uh it's just hard to Okay. Okay, here we go. The uh artificial frame or arch that separates the stage from the auditorium, this defining feature creates a picture frame effect, allowing the audience to view the performance through a unified window and establishing an imaginary fourth wall between the actors and imaginary fourth wall spectators, yes. Now, Patrick, some people may be confused, but you just said we have a thrust stage, but how could we have a thrust stage if we're not a prosceneum stage? So at the Art Center of Cannon County, um, we're we're different. We do things differently. Um we are a thrust stage, which means we have audiences on three sides, but behind towards upstage, so so the back of the stage from the audience's perspective, um, we still have an area that kind of creates a fourth wall perspective um towards the back of the stage. So we still have a proscenium arch that everyone can see that creates somewhat of a proscenium style theater effect, even though it's a thrust stage. Um and so I mean, am I am I explaining that well? You did you did great. You did great. I'm doing my best here. Your your degree is coming in handy here. Thank goodness. Whatever. All that studying is paying off. What would you add? I wouldn't add a single thing. You did such a great job. Anyway. Good job, Bubby. We have a proscenium arch. And you've been decorating it. Even though we have thrust age, and I've been decorating it for nine to five with colorful items, such as what, Patrick? What colorful items will people see when they walk in and go, the guy from the podcast hung those up. Squares? They're squares. What do you mean, colorful items? I'm just I'm curious what the decorations are. Well, you'll have to come to the show to find out. We can't give the people a hint. We're gonna interview Dora Lee. They're squares. Squares. They're squares. They're colorful. Are they all the same size squares? They're not rectangles? Decorative, colorful collages. Are some rectangles? Some are rectangles. So it's not just squares. Well so you are a liar. Well, squares are rectangles. What? A rectangle is a rectangle. No, a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square. Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense. Episode 10, baby! Woo! Um and you again have gone off the reservation and no green notebook again. Two episodes in a row without your green notebook. It's like you're growing up. At least two episodes, yeah. Um, it's like I'm growing up. Yes, you're growing up. Um you're like Linus from the Peanuts with the safety blanket, but now you've gotten rid of the safety blanket, and now you the sadness of adulthood has hit you. That got dark. Dang. Well, the last two episodes were very heartfelt. I figured you bring it back to the roots of the cast list. Yeah. The past two episodes were rather heartfelt, just not to like spoil what happens in this episode, but we go off the rails. Yeah, the interview is off the chain. So you've tuned in for a perfect episode. You have here. Let's talk about next episode later. We're in this episode. We're in episode 10 of Patrick. Hey. Next episode's for the end of this episode. You take away a guy's green notebook, you cannot complain about what he talks about. I understand. Um But yes, there are important things to talk about before we get into that interview. Um one being Sue Williams' basket making class. Sue Williams' basket making class. Hand woven baskets. That's exactly what it sounds like, but it's really cool. The baskets are actually stunningly gorgeous. If you've been here to the Art Center of Cannon County, you've seen some of these baskets that have been made in basket to make them. Woodbury in Cannon County has a very rich hand woven basket history. Um if that if that sounds like a fake sentence, it's not. It's it's real. Look it up. Um we actually for for like generations embrace the baskets. For generations, a lot of people have passed down baskets. B basket making skills in this area. Um, and there's some really beautiful work that comes out of this area in that absolutely in that area of art. Now, it may seem very expensive because it is four hundred and fifty dollars to do this basket making class. However, it is a five-day, all-day class. Like an intensive that includes all the materials. You get the Sue makes the frame for you, so it is worth it is a lot of time you're gonna spend on these baskets, and it is worth every penny to get one of these really, really great baskets. Yep. Yep. Um, another thing that's going on right now. What's going on, Patrick? Is where we have Cannon Hall that you've heard us talk about, where we typically have some art shows. We're doing something really, really cool right now. It is also an art show. It is an art show. Um, it's it is a unique twist on one that I don't think we've ever done before. We're having a theatrical prop show. Oh yeah. And other theatrical elements included. Um, so here at the Arts Center, we anytime we make certain props that we find especially cool, we typically save them one because they're cool, but also you never know when you can use them again. Um if another theater will need them for something. Exactly. And throughout the years, we've just acquired throughout all the shows tons of different props that that we continue to keep. Um, and so we have all these props and have decided to put together an exhibit of props that we have made, some costumes that we have made, set pieces, set pieces, floor designs. Um You could see so many just like You could come and see Smog. You could, the dragon in person. He is on display. All entirely made out of um there there's so many elements in that prop show. We have like the 12 Angry Jurors table that we're using. Which you can get tickets now for 12 Angry Jurors. We'll talk about that later, though. Let's keep talking about the fake food. There's the fake food. Yeah. There is um one of our in-house, not in-house, but one of our regular set designers and builders, Mr. Philip Storvik. You would have seen him in uh The Crucible and The Mousetrap. Yeah, he his portfolio of set designs that he has built for the art center is here. So you could see the blueprints and the sets. Highly skilled at what he does. Um I I think recently his show that really got a lot of attention from a visual standpoint was Mousetrap. Oh yes. Yeah, yeah. Oh yes, the mousetrap was the mousetrap. Um his mousetrap set was incredible. They built they built a mansion. A massive two-story mansion inside a theater. It it felt like you had been shrunk down and put in like this like really fancy dollhouse. It was really cool. It was a lot of fun to play in that too. Yeah, yeah, I I believe it. I believe it. How many doors were in that? There was the front door so in the show or on the set? I didn't know there were two different answers. So s yeah, so in in uh so on the set there was the front door, upstairs, upstage right, and then you go down some stairs and there's a big window that you can enter from. So that's two. We'll just we'll just get you keep track of all the entrances as I walk through, so that's two. Okay. And then you go up the stairs to stage left, there's an exit that way, so that's three. And then you go downstairs, and on the right hand side, the stage right side, there's the room to the drawing room, four, and then uh stage left, there's a door to the dining room. Five. And then there is a door to the kitchen. Six. Okay, so six physical entrances. Wow. In the show, there's the front door, the window. Two. If you go through the upstairs one, those are to the bedrooms. So there's like three, two. Four. Yeah. Um, if you go the drawing room, five. Five. But then you could get from the drawing room to the upstairs bedroom, so let's count that as six. And then if you go through the dining room, you just go into the dining room. Seven, I think, if I remember. And if you go through the kitchen, you could also somehow get upstairs. Eight. So to ten nine. Eight to ten to nine. We'll get the director and Philip. They'll uh once they listen and catch up, but anyway, all that too they'll tell us how many entrances there were. There's a bunch of really uh striking set pieces and props and designs in the canon hall right now. Um that I highly suggest coming to see. All of the animals from Children of Eden. Children of Eden. A bunch of pictures of Beth, Big Boss Beth's uh great floors. Yes. And some original floor pieces. The floor designs. Yep. Oh yeah. Yeah. So anyway, that's going on. Please come and check that out. Um another. It's very cool. Um smoggy just making his rounds. I know. He if if you only come for one reason, let it be smog. Yeah. Um, another big exciting thing. Conservatory time. Conservatory time. So this is a good thing. What's so great? It'll be airing on day one of conservatory, which means the next three or four episodes. Um, even though I yelled at you about teasing what's coming in future episodes, allow me to tease what's coming in future episodes. Uh I will have c uh live conservatory stories because conservatory will be actively going on. In real time. In real time. Uh Winnie the Pooh and Singin' in the Rain, starting with two sessions of Winnie and the Pooh. We have officially closed up registrations for conservatories. They are full. Yeah. We're going to have 30 to 40 kids here for each junior session. Yeah. And we're going to have close to 70 for the senior session, but it's going to go great. It's a great, it's a great summer. It's always a great time. It's always daunting, but then we always have a great time. And I can't wait. We have some real characters in these kids coming. Um, some listen to this uh podcast. Like Clarence. Clarence is coming back. Oh, Clarence. Um Clarence was in the Hobbit. He's like our mascot. He's one of the he's he's one of the uh kids who've been here a long time. And uh he was one of the dwarves who died in the Hobbit. It was very sad, Patrick. Except his body kept having involuntary spasms, apparently. That's right. Yeah, come on, actor. And he did get to push his brother off the mountain. So maybe I enjoyed that. Lots of lots of great times. Yeah. Uh so yeah, I'm looking forward to Conservatory. Got just such a great team of people. And yeah, the next few episodes, I'm gonna be in a real interesting headspace when we record. Yeah. So it'll be it'll be very exciting to listen to those. Listen back to those episodes. It will be. Um one other exciting thing that's happening. We have really we we had already gotten into this in last episode. I don't know if we covered it though. We've gotten what is this? We've gotten um hardcore in rehearsals for Geisendahl Senior. Oh yes, the senior show. St. Claire Senior having a blast. We'll we'll get into all of it. But Big Boss Beth and I were talking this morning. We actively, right now, at the Art Center, have nine to five, one, twelve Angry Jurors, two, Big Fish has just been cast and has started rehearsals, three, the senior show, four, and then conservatory. Conservatory starting on Monday. We basically have five shows active shows happening. Actively rehearsing. Yes. Five. How do we do it? That is insane. We crazy, but we know how to handle it. That is that's actually the best. We can break it down one by one. Nine to five. Uh, you're gonna hear from Dora Lee a little bit later. Tickets on sale now. They open in like a week and a half. Yep, we'll go, we'll go uh step by step. Conservatory just talked about that. Yep. Twelve angry jurs, I'm the producer. Yep, that's the black box show. I'm watching tonight uh at time of recording. They're done. Apparently, the whole show is blocked. Madison Tobek has just really gotten those jurors angry. Super exciting as well because um it's the first show we're doing the black box that's in the round. Um, so it sounds like it's gonna be a pretty It's gonna be intense. It's gonna be a pretty intense, intimate show. It's the uh So that sounds super exciting. The set designer, uh Kyle Tobek, came in and measured and taped everything out and sat some of the chairs down. Uh if you're there, it it doesn't even matter if you're in the front row, if you're in the first two, three rows, and they're only doing two or three rows deep, you're gonna be right there in the action action of these angry jurors, and let me tell you, they be angry. Yeah, so definitely come to that show. That one should be a hoot. A hoot and a half and a half, which then leads us to the senior show. We can't even keep track. Yeah, the senior show because we talked about conservative. And we're gonna talk about nine to five. Guys and all senior, um, at time of recording, we just finished up our third week of rehearsals. We've gone through most of our main music rehearsals. They're having a blast. We're having a blast. Um, everyone there is so happy to be there and just glad to be participating in the show. Um, and it's just it's so fun to go to those rehearsals every day. Well, it's not just probably fun, the experience, but that's also such a fun show. Oh, yeah. I directed Guys and Dolls in 2024, and it's just it's so silly and fun, and it's got such great songs. Yes. It's I cannot wait to see. Everyone at the Senior Center is absolutely crushing it. Um that show is one day only, it's in July. Um, if you are in if you're interested in getting a ticket for that show uh to see guys at all senior, it's not the full version, so it's a senior edition. Currently, they're not on sale for the public. Are they not on sale for the public? They're currently just on sale for uh we want to make sure everyone at the senior center in the cast gets their tickets first. For smart, because it is filling out quick. Uh it is.

Um and then what Well Big Fish has just been cast. I can't even keep can I can't keep track of all. Yeah, Big Fish has been cast. Um I don't know the cast list as of yet. I've heard rumblings. Dorley gave us some insight. So you'll hear about that here in a little bit. And that'll be opening in August. Yes. And then right after all that, before that opens and after conservatory, we have auditions for Dracula. Dracula. No. Blah blah blah blah. Very big teeth. Very big teeth. Um, but that's stories for another time. Yep. Um I w Don't want to forget anything before we get into interviewing. That's what we have to do. What? You have to apologize to Mary Wilson. I have to apologize. Or someone has to apologize to someone. Or what did we have to say to Mary Wilson? Well, first of all, Mary was just uh Mary Wilson was just trying to be helpful in telling us that we couldn't go down the river, but she's given us alternative river route access. Okay. So we could still do our river rafting experience. But apparently, according to her, it was your negative attitude that you're like a villain, yes. Oh. So she wants to uh fight you. Oh. First of all, I don't know if how much of that I believe. And I could tell Mary Scrappy, she's gonna get you. Secondly, um, Mary, I didn't mean to make you sound like a villain. Mary Wilson is anything but a villain. Mary Wilson is anything but a villain. She is one of the best who has done so much for the art center. Mary, I apologize. I did not mean to goodness you've done that, Patrick. I didn't I did not mean to do that. I'm sorry. Um, we're really thankful for you and everything that you do. Um Okay, that's okay, easy there. Okay. Okay. She gets it. Okay. She's a smart lady. Cool. All right. Okay. Well, I think with that being said, it's time to jump into our interview with Miss Jocelyn French to talk all about nine to five. Yep. Here we go. Three, two, one. Woosh. All right, we are here avoided. You already forgot her name. Oh, not the friend. Thank you so much for putting your thoughts on the point. Remember Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, and Jane Fonda. So which one are you? Dolly Parton. Yes, the best one. Oh, that's really the best one. I think so too. The best one. So have you ever done a show at Canyon County before? A little bit before this, you were saying how you were in Oklahoma. Yes. Can you tell us about that? Um, so Oklahoma was the first show I had done in like 10 years. I did theater since I was four up through college and then got married, had kids, and theater just was, you know, it was gone. But I but not forgotten. But not forgotten. And I um made like a New Year's resolution list. And I just wrote on their audition for a show. Like I didn't even really think that I'd get in. And um my husband was like, Oh, well, where's uh like a theater around here? And I was like, I don't know. So I Googled and I was like, oh wait, there's um auditions tomorrow. And he's like, You gotta do it? I'm like, why not? What's Oklahoma? So I didn't know. But I auditioned and got in and fell in love with theater again and being in this environment and here at uh Tarzan. I I have a question. You said you did theater from four to college, yeah. And you didn't know what Oklahoma was. I was homeschooled. Oh there it is. There it is, it strikes again. The homeschooler. Who were you in Oklahoma? Does that need to be redacted? Well, I mean, nope, we can't say nothing. We can't. Rewind. You can say Harless. Who will Okay, yeah, yeah. Who were you in Oklahoma? In Oklahoma, I was um a dancer of the night. A dancer of the dancer of the night. That's a really good way to point out. Thank you so much. And um, like a little townsperson. Glad you didn't put it any other way. Yeah, you too. Ignore the video cut. Um, well, we're glad you stuck around. We're glad that you found us for Oklahoma. That's kind of how I found this place. I was looking for a place to audition a few years ago. And I like asked my friends of like a good place and they said this place. Well, Google said this place. Yeah. So thanks, Google. Um, and then you are also coming up in another show after 905. Yes. Correct? Yes, Big Fish. Big Fish. Big Fish. And that's directed by Matt Smith. Yes. Um and Gerald. Oh, they're so Gerald or that's fun. And I love Matt. He was in Oklahoma. That's where I met him and Mary Ellen. And um, he scared me so bad that I fell to the ground and screamed. Oh. Matt Smith. Dang Matt. He's not scary. He's like a big old T. Did you see Oklahoma? I did see Oklahoma. I see right through it. He's just ugly on the inside. Well, yeah, he is once you get to know him. Anywho, we're here to talk about 9-5. Um, way to jump before 9-5 and after 9-5, Patrick. He left his green notebook at home. That's usually it's like his safety blanket. And uh, that's where he writes down all the questions. But he's Oh, so we're winging this. Oh, yeah, like we're gonna. Well, Patrick's winging it. I'm usually always winging it. Yes, I'm prepared mentally. So me too. But you you came out for Oklahoma, obviously had a great time. Yes. And then so you see what's going on the whole next year, because Oklahoma was in uh the spring of 25. We're now in summer of 26. Yeah. Why did you did you look down the list and say, yes, nine to five? Did it just work with your schedule? What made you want to go out for nine to five? So, many of things. I've got three kids, so I could only commit to so much because they also have commitments, and um, so I was like, okay, you know, it's a give and take. Um, I did audition for another show, it didn't work out. Um, but I'm actually friends with Daryl outside of here, and um, I called him Dr. Deeson, and then when I got the part, he's like, You gotta cut. You can't call me Dr. Deeson, it's just Daryl. I was like, Yes, sir. He's like, You can't call me sir. And I was like, Okay. And I I didn't. We call him the man the myth, the legend is. And he's actually, his director interview is next episode. Oh, I like that. What's something you would want us to ask Daryl? Oh, um, who's his favorite dental hygienist? Who's his play that down a bit? Well, anyway, we jumped on what made you again what so you knew Daryl. Yeah, so I knew Daryl, and I had asked him um like what shows he was gonna be directing, and he said nine to five. And just jokingly, I was like, oh well, I'm gonna start working on my dolly accent. Uh-huh. And like, truly, truly, I did not think I would get this part because I'm just not very um experienced, like so many incredible people in this realm are. And um like when I got the email with who got what, I skipped all the leads. I didn't even read them. I went straight to ensemble to see if I got ensemble, and I was like, I didn't even get ensemble. And then I went back up and I was like, I got Dorothy! So it was truly like not even like in my head that a possibility, but um, I'm from Georgia, so I got a real good plan. Yes, kind of comes next. Yeah, and so when it's time to like put on that southern charm, it just comes really easy. Really about that. You said something I want to go back to. Um a lot of it, haircut, right? Thank you. Thank you. Who needs to be helped up? I know. A lot of parents, specifically parents of younger children, are hesitant to audition just because it's a lot. Being a parent is so much work. Yeah. Can you talk a little bit about what it's like? Patrick's a dog dad. I'm a dog dad. So like it's very similar. Yeah, totally the same as raising three children. Yeah, totally the same, no differences at all. Um, but can you talk a little bit about what that process has been like? It's like being in a show here and also still being a mother and like how it's possible, and you know, how shows here still make it possible to like be a mother? Yeah, yeah. That's a great question. I feel like um for a long time I only was a mother, and then I went back to school and it kind of opened my eyes of like, no, like I'm Jocelyn, who is a mother, who's a dental hygienist, who's also like loves theater. So, how can I breathe life into that and also still be intentional with all the other you know facets of life? And I think there's a couple big main things, like support. Like, my husband is the biggest supporter, and he loves that I'm doing this, like he loves that I found something that brings me so much joy. And so, like, having his support, having a lot of babysitters, yeah, a lot of babysitters, and um honestly, my kids are really sweet, like they love that I'm doing this. When I was like getting ready to audition, they were like, if I hear the song Taylor the Latte Boy, one more time, I like to scream. Love that sweat. That's what audition for! Oh, you audition with Taylor the Latte Boy? Oh, oh, I lied. I lied. I auditioned the heck are you guys talking about? This is such a good song. I auditioned for Big Fish with that. Okay. But I auditioned for 9 to 5 with Backwoods Barbie. Yeah, that's a good one. Um, that's the only version that it matters. Yeah. Should I do it now? Go ahead. I even know what's going on. Wait, wait, wait. I have no idea what you're talking about. Wait, should we do it? Go ahead. Yes, we're doing it right now. There's a boy who works to Starbucks who is very inspirational. He is very inspirational because many things. I come in at 811 and he's smiles and says, How are you? And when he smiles and says, How are you? I swear my heart grows wings. Come on. I forget. I haven't said. Oh, there's more! Oh, there's more. The latte boy. Okay. Bring me job. Bring me joy. Oh, Kristen Channel. That's um. Oh my goodness. Did you feel left out? That's almost as good as Nicole Kidman's AMC speech. No, nothing compares to We come to this place for magic. Is that copyright? I don't know. Probably. We'll find out when we post it. Can we even post it? We'll find out when we post it. We sang it so bad. It probably won't be. Right. They're like, we don't care about that. They're like, nearpoint. So lots of support. Lots of support, lots of babysitters. And a loving husband. And my and a loving children who are very supportive who are also love theater. Oh. So, um have they signed up for conservatory? They will, if their mom would. Is it closed? No. I guess we'll have to talk after. an end so see what's going on. Yeah, but they're gonna be a big fish. Oh, well then. Well then they're set. They're set. Yeah, they're the same as a community. Well, I mean, I mean, it's not the same as conservatory, but it's a big summer commitment. Yeah, that's a big summer commitment. I mean, I think they're just walking across the stage in like a town scene. Well, we'll talk about that on the podcast. Back to 9-5, so we are um love to chase. This is this interview is going so many different directions. It's going much better than when we interviewed Caden. That is true. We had to uh No offense, Caden. Wait. He was very nervous. Caden is also in 9 to 5? No, he isn't. Tall curly hair? Is he? He might be. Tall curly hair? Yeah, that sounds like Caden Knowles. He was Gollum? Oh, I think you're thinking of Cade somewhere else. No, you're thinking of Cade. So sorry. Yes, I was like, Cade's doing great. Great podcast. Um, uh 9-5, obviously. Yes. Uh this is the most out of control episode ever. I love it. No, don't apologize. This is the energy I've been desperately trying to get out of Patrick for uh ten episodes. So he enjoys uh being his podcast partner if you can't tell. He's he's just sometimes a little down the dumps, but uh I'm glad you're here to tweet each other. Yeah. I know. Yeah, yeah. That's a way to put it. Anyway, so it's the three, it's these three ladies. What's it like? Did you know the other two before casting? What's it been like working with, and who who who are they? Who's playing Violet and Judy? Violet is um played by Darcy. I don't know, nobody's last name. Darcy Hingle, who was recently in uh Children of Evening. Yes, she was, um, which I heard was amazing. Um, yeah, so she's Violet, and she's amazing. And then Judy is played by a girl named Emma. Emma Groves. Emma Groves. I went to school with her. She is phenomenal. I love her so much. Yes. She's so much fun. Um, she's very talented. Yeah. And then um, you know, the famous villain is Bon Bon Bon Noah. Noah Brady, who was Johnny Cash and Million Douglas. Yes, I didn't know that. Yes. I saw that, and then I met him, I did not know. And I was like, wow, you're a good actor. You know, you're gonna not put those two together. I think he has hair dyed. Yes. Yes, yes, yeah, but he's phenomenal, he's so freaking funny. When he auditioned for the show, I was like, if he doesn't get this part, like no one else deserves it. He's so good at it. Awesome. Yeah. So what's the been the dynamic with the three ladies? Um, the ladies is great. Um, rehearsals have been super fun. Um, last night when we were here till nine, um, a lot of us, not me, but a lot of us kept messing up their lines. Oh. And it was a lot of, you know, laughter and come on, Joe, get your act together. And I was like, I'm sorry. But yeah, they're really great, really supportive, really talented. So, yeah, 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. Nice. Um, off the top of your head, do you know the show dates? Yes. Do you want to give a little advertisement to the camera? Come see us in June. We have more time to talk about things. Yes. When it's all rapid fire, yes. June. Last three weeks. There's a Friday, Saturday, Sunday. 12th. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 12th, Friday, Saturday. June 12th. June 12th, 13th. Oh, excuse me. Through the 27th. Through the 27th, June 12th. 12th, June. Oh no, June. Oh, wait, I have something to say. This is the place to say it, Joe. You just got to ignore it. We needed a husband for Dora Lee. Uh-huh. And I could not find a husband. I proposed to many people. I have a question. Okay. I I'm I know you're leading into that you proposed to Patrick. Yeah. But was there ever a time where you proposed to your own husband? That's your thing! He is my husband. Oh, yes! Your husband's your husband in the show. In the show. In the show! You said that. How did none of us know that, Patrick? That's this okay, that's bad. We should have the green. Retacted! Oh I thought you said an Eli. You got Eli does. Oh, he's the understar husband. Oh, gotta gotta gotta give it. Sorry. He's the backup husband. We just needed a husband for two shows. Yes. It's like reverse Mormon stuff. Yeah. I don't know what that means. Backup husband. Gotta go. Backup husband. Wait, okay, so you get to play a married couple with my married husband. Your actual married husbands. Yes. Um, what is that then like? Well, let me tell you. Oh boy. Oh boy. Yeah, for people who don't know. My husband is a CCM artist, so he tours and does his own thing. And um, when we did all got the show cast and stuff, I was like, oh, I need a husband. And Austin was like, I do it, but I'm out of town that last week on the show, and I was like, oh, okay. So I told Daryl, I was like, you know, Austin said that he'd do it, but he just couldn't be there for the last two shows. And Daryl's like, we'll fight somebody for the last two shows. That's Daryl, the man that myth the legend. So then I told Austin, I was like, guess who's in the show? And I don't know if he really meant it when he said, I would, but I can't. But he's like, Yeah, he is that's season. It's a fatal flaw. You never say, oh well, I could, because then then that's how I ended up as Shylock for Daryl and something wrong. Yeah. So for people who don't know 95 that well, explain what Dolly and her Dolly, Dora Lee and her husband's relationship is like, and then is it any is it similar to how y'all are in your life? That's a great question. Thank you. Thank you for asking. Um, my husband did try to give me some media training before this. It went really well. It went really well. For this very uptight professional setup we have here. Um, so Doralie is married to Dwayne, and Dwayne and Doralie are in love, and they're from Texas, and Austin and I are in love from Georgia. So I would say there's a lot of similarities. Yeah. Okay. Great. That's a great answer. That's a great answer. You know what's another thing we never really did. Why don't you tell everybody what nine to five is about? Oh, okay. 9 to 5 is a really upbeat musical written by Dolly Martin. And the music is her and somebody else. There's many of people. And it's about these three women who are in the workplace, and there is a mean boss who's very sexist. Yes. And what would you say it's based in time space and probably the 80s? I would say the 80s. The 80s corporate America. 80s corporate America. Like stereotypical corporate America. So you know. Or like man's the man, man's the boss, women are just secretaries. The coffee. Right. Fix the Xerox machine. Yep, yep, yep. So the women take. I could use some coffee after this. Perfect. Me too. An iced Americana. Okay. So um in the show, the three ladies, they take it upon themselves to um kid my phone. To with the timer. Kidnap and restrain and almost murder their boss. Which is a typical Tuesday. I mean, a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do. Which sounds incredibly dark, but it's extremely comedic. And also cathartic. Yes. Yeah, he doesn't really get hurt. But it's acting. Yes, he's talking. Short. It's a I would say it's a happy ending though. Yeah, he I don't want to spoil it for our listeners. Yeah. But it's very cathartic. It's very cathartic, it's very upbeat, it's very uplifting, especially if you're a woman. And um, yeah, I mean, I'd watch it. I have well, thank goodness for that. I have a follow-up question. Nine to five is like a really big song, everyone knows it. Is there any like pressure with you being Dolly and the whole cast to be like, hey, we gotta sing 925, something that is sung every almost every day on Broadway in Nashville and every Bachelorette party singing it on their bachelorette trips at the karaoke bars. Right, me included. Yes, so was there was there ever any sort of like, oh crap, we gotta sing 925? No, truly, when I got the the cast list of saying, like, I got Dorley, it was like this immediate pressure of like I have to represent Dolly. Oh my lord. And so with that, every time it's like, okay, I'm gonna give my best, because this is like people know it, and also they know her and they know what it represents, and so I'm like, okay, I gotta rise to the occasion. And um Allison, I don't know her last year. Allison Hall, the music director. Love her, and she's in the show. Yes, she's Ross, yes, and um, she's amazing, and so she's our musical musical director, and she's been you know, amazing, helping us get the songs right, yeah. And that's also really difficult because like at the end of the day, you're not Dolly Parton. Everyone knows who Dolly Parton is. Everyone, I know everyone, you know, who grows up listening to Dolly Parton doesn't expect you to be an exact replica of Dolly Parton. So you have to like make it my own. Yeah, you have to figure out how to like you know, give credit to Dolly, but then also figure out how to make the rule your own and make it authentic to yourself, right? Which is difficult. So, what has that experience been like? Yeah. Um, great question. Thank you both for asking. You are welcome. Um, I would say like Daryl's really fun as a director because like if you ask him a question of like, okay, like what what is she doing in this scene? It's like you tell me, like, if like what is she feeling? Like what's going on? Like, make it like be in it. And so I feel like it's tough because like like you said, like I have to make it my own. Also, you know, they did a wonderful job writing the script, and it's like, okay, like how is Doralie, Jocelyn Dorley, in this moment? How do I make it my own? I'm really scared of heights. Oh, and there's several scenes where I have to climb on top of things. So we actually have made it kind of a bit where I'm sure Dolly Barton's not really scared of heights or Doralie in real life, but I am. So I'm like trying to save my lives, trying not to fall. There's a guy named Evan. Evan, y'all know him? Curly hair? Evan Price. That sounds right, Evan Price. Price is right. Yeah. I call him Earl for some reason. But he he's the anchor when I'm on the final cabinets. I'm probably gonna bruise him because I'm just so tired, just so scary. But it's neat because you know, we're making it our own, and you know, I'd like to make Dolly Brown. Yes. Maybe she'll come see it. Hey, Dolly, tickets are on sale and you can afford it. That's right. Yeah. Actually, this is kind of dark. But I heard a rumor from one of my patients that she died, and that we're just seeing AI generation. She did not. No, stop it. Okay, redacted. Redacted. It is actually now time though, Jocelyn, for our favorite section of the interview process. It is the rapid fire question section. My favorite, my favorite section. Between you two. You ask each other questions. No, no. Uh I we came like before the episode. We come up, we come up with six rapid fire questions. Okay. All right. Very quickly, answer as quick as you can. Some are multiple choice. Okay. Some have uh and whys to it. Okay. Um, but you just answer as quick as you can. Rapid fire. Okay. Okay. Are you ready? No, it's not no, okay. That's that's not good. If I put my food in my mouth. We'll we'll edit. It's on patching. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Don't do me dirty. Okay. Alright. Are you ready? I'm ready. Alright, question number one. Dream show to be in. Nine to five. Oh, oh, yay! Or sorry. Anything on um uh uh Okay, but right do we want it to rate me or that part? I think that's the four steps for the four part of the right now or slow. Doorily, the best point. Um I would say Arnold Sports Picker. Arnold sports sticker was the best point. Well, thank you so much for being on the athlete. Is it the the most the most crazy that review we've given yet? For the good for the good. Depend the mental letter that's going to be to ask them what you heard about. So uh everyone feature comes to the Joe or Johnson. Or T T.com get tickets there. Jonathan, anything you want to tell the people before you leave up? Yes, thank you. Um I would like to quote the right thing by Edgar on the What's the fun and that's why while I've under weekend wearing other mini curious volume stuff for top or as I'm not a nearly happy, suddenly they're tumbled happy, as a phone jumping traffic, wrapping up my chamber door. I'm not wrapping up my timber door. Oh, that's another thing. But it was a bit of everything in the road to the phone. Okay. Let's go! I've never seen Patrick that excited about anything else. Like, oh my gosh. But that was a big job. Alright. Let's go to the at night to five. Thank you so much, Joe. That was quite the interesting interview. I'm exhausted. Um, I I need to brush up on my Taylor the latte, boy. Never again. Oh my goodness. It's such a good one. How does it feel to get a uh point up on the board for the rapid fire questions? Feels great. Alright. Now the real question is do you actually think you could beat me in a foot race? In a foot race? Yeah. Now I could, I'm out of shape. I think there's a lot of. And you got them long gazelle legs. Oh, yeah, I'm built like a baby giraffe and I weigh like three grams. I'm much more than that. Yeah. There are a plethora of other physical things that you could be. Catch me in back in high school though. Or once these kids, once these conservatory kids wear them hang out on the ready to roll. Maybe we do that for white oak. We do a foot race. Oh. That would be fun, actually. Okay. Like, or we both show up in like crack suits. Oh. We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. We'll make a day of. Oh, we'll make a day of that's true. The the the White Oak episode will be definitely an episode of all episodes. But uh first of all, let's check the email. Have we got anything? RJ, I doubt it. I try to be hopeful. Let's see. And your negative schleprocky attitude is not appreciated here ten episodes in.
